UPDATE: Earlier this year, we wrote about self-described ‘bearded dame’ Harnamm Kaur. Now, she’s proven that brides can definitely rock a beard on their wedding day.
Kaur, 24, makes no apologies for her full beard, which is a result of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
She’s already made a name for herself as a body-positive advocate, but she recently took it to the next level, by taking part in a bridal photo shoot.
The shoot was created for wedding dress brand Cutting Edge Brides, and Kaur’s beard was a key part of her bridal style – in fact, it was accentuated with flowers in an effort to celebrate her unique look.
Kaur spoke about her beard and her life philosophy in an interview with Rock ‘N Roll Bride:
Kaur says it took her eight years but she finally found a way to love herself, just as she is.
“One thing you need to realise is not one of us is born the same. We are born perfect,” she says. “Once you find inner love… that’s the second, that is the moment that you will find what people say to you doesn’t really matter.”
Kaur now refers to herself as the ‘Bearded Dame’ and works as a teacher aide in the hope she can encourage children to accept diversity and keep an open mind.
Watch as Harnamm Kaur talks about how she came to accept her beard.

She mentioned she didn't like education that's a shame. A broader education might have led her to rejecting an ancient man and his set of rules putting limitations on what she's entitled to do with her own body.
Harnamm Kaur is beautiful and so very striking.May her life be full of happiness and love.
