Horrified bride and Showpo founder Jane Lu discovers her MUM is wearing a white dress to her wedding


A bride has shared her horror after she found out her mother was wearing a white dress to her wedding, dubbing her mum’s look ‘more bridal’ than her own.

The CEO of the Australian fashion label Showpo, Jane Lu, from Sydney, documented her experience of discovering her mother’s wedding outfit on Tik Tok, explaining that she only found out on the morning of the big day. 

‘This is my dress from Showpo. I just went to look at my mum’s dress,’ Jane said on the video as she unzipped a dry cleaning bag with her mother’s outfit inside.

‘It’s more bridal than mine!’ she exclaimed, as her friends giggled in the background.

One of Jane’s friends cheekily asked the 33-year-old fashion CEO whether Jane’s mum was ‘re-marrying Frank and renewing her vows’ because of the look of her dress.

Jane said: ‘My dress was quite simple… hers looked way more bridal!’ as she pointed towards her mother’s lacy outfit.

Jane added the hashtags #weddingfail and #motherofthebride to her video.

‘My mum did the same! Her dress was even whiter than mine! I didn’t care though! It was like “whatever”,’ one woman posted.

‘I would be FURIOUS. Would not talk until she apologised,’ another added. 

A third said Jane was a ‘good daughter’ because she would have ‘thrown wine all over it’ when she saw the dress.

‘I would just have had it dyed and surprised her,’ another added.

The CEO of Australian fashion label Showpo wed the CFO of the multi-million dollar company, James Waldie, wearing a $299.95 wedding dress from her own brand.  

The 33-year-old, who started Showpo eight years ago, chose to wear the ‘Fairy Tale Gown’, which launched as part of their Wedding Shop earlier this year. 

Her bridesmaids, who were all wearing various shades of pale pink, had also chosen their ensembles from the Showpo racks. 

‘After launching our Wedding Shop this year it would be crazy of me not to wear Showpo,’ Jane told FEMAIL at the time.

‘I was so lucky to be able to have the exact dress I wanted as I worked closely with our in-house designers here.’

The married couple met while on an exchange trip to Sweden in 2008, with James bending one knee on a romantic gondola ride in Queensland a decade later.

‘Our laid-back personality was also reflected in the theme and styling of the event,’ Jane said.

‘I really didn’t think I’d be one of those brides who say my wedding day was the best day of my life but it really was. Everything was perfect and I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face all day.’
