A real estate agent with a penchant for wanting to be reality star, and an army bride who lives thousands of miles away from her fiancé come in to Renee’s store looking for their dream bridal gown.
It's utterly unprofessional and disrespectful to clients to keep showing dresses two to three times the budget. I'd fire that consultant in a country minute.
Ooooo those bridesmaids!!! I would have said “Bye! You can wear your pink dresses sitting with friends and family!” That “We’ll see!” by that one girl. Omg 😳
@@rebecca6485 because her mother wanted to pay for it. She probably could have afforded a much more expensive dress, but her mother wanted to pay for it and she wanted to give her the pleasure of doing so. She was considerate and stayed within the budget that she felt was reasonable for her mother to afford.
The first bride was such a breath of fresh air! I can't understand why the stylist would bring most of the dresses that were above her budget. It seemed that the more expensive they were, the less I liked them (not based on the price, but how they looked). I am so glad that she found a beautiful dress and below her budget!
The daughter was so sweet and considerate. She doesn’t want to take advantage even though her mommy would pony up to mark her happy. momma raised her right.
You know, I think she is very considerate of her mom, however, it's her third wedding. I must be an awful mom, after her first wedding, she would be paying for her own dress.
Boy that is the truth. I remember browsing the shops on Rodeo Drive (Beverly Hills) just to see what the fuss was all about. I didn't see one thing I would ever buy...even if I was a billionaire!
Am basically on the brides side but she, herself, came off as so unnecessarily rude when speaking to the 2 bridesmaids. She would come off better if she could smile , be firm but nice when explaining her position. She came off as unpleasant rude person to me.
@@maryellsworth6670 she actually stated they fought in the car on the way there about it so she had a right to the way she felt and expressed I actually felt so bad for the girl her friends look like trolls and obviously don’t like her very much because a true friend would never act like that
Go with the brides black choice for dress, red for shoes... can add additional color with red lipstick, red nail polish, red hair piece, dip the ends of hair in red dye... Sooooo many choices & still respect the bride!
@@maryellsworth6670 Seems to me like this behavior from the maids has been a constant, and so the bride was at the end of her rope. I didn't think she came off as unpleasant, just over it.
@@actualangel5133 Which goes perfect in a lot of venues with 14 to 20 ft ceilings. It has to be over the top big to even notice their are centerpieces in that kind of space,
When I had a formal wedding, I have a color and asked each person to choose the appropriate range in that color to match their undertones and something they either had or would wear again. They were ALL unique and beautiful. Because I felt they were all great people and would nit do something inappropriate. It worked wonderfully and no one outshined the bride.
My brother’s fiancé is doing the same thing. We are all in shades of teal-peacock blue but picking our own dresses. She approved them all, but we chose and paid for them. Mine is very cottagecore, and I can’t wait to wear it to the wedding and other formal events. I don’t really have any nice dresses :)
When I helped my Granddaughter find her Wedding Dress, my adrenaline was so out of control. I was so happy and excited. The store was understaffed and I was helping other brides as well with their dresses and suggestions. They seriously asked me if I would consider coming to work for them . I would love to, I'd work/ help for the great feeling and happiness of others, not money., but can't see well enough to drive at night,( night blindness), and it was a long drive. ( I'm 69!). If only I had ever been that excited when I was getting married. Sure made me think. To late now. But, if a Bride isn't excited, she best wait. Wait for true love , trust, happiness, the Forever.
The brides budget was $3,000 and the sales associate showed her dresses way above her budget. Does the associate work on a commission base because she is not really showing concern for the customer.
She is not a very good salesperson, I find her very unprofessional. Sometimes she talks back to the bride's entourage and gets between their conversations.
@@sophiadeloach6515 and momma said she’d pay whatever! This consultant is an amazing! And for those with a problem maybe it’s because she’s black?!! 🤷🏽♀️
Some of the wedding gowns don't even look like dresses they look like some insane sculpture out of shaving cream. How do women want to put such silly things on. Other gowns are stunning.
I was scanning comments to see if it was just me. I might have said JC Penney to soften it a bit but cheap is the right word. I couldn't get past the bra cups screaming, "look at us." A quality dress would have been properly lined to allow for discreet support. A fool and his money are soon parted.
@@SunnyGirlFlorida she was not innocent, no, but it's her wedding and unless she wants them to wear something egregiously awful (nip slip etc) they are expected to wear it. "Not my color, not my style" does not matter. At.all. now, if they can find something that all like and it doesn't interfere w brides vision, fine.
Not a fan of the owner Renee. She seems so fake and all she see's are dollar signs, which I understand is part of owning a business but don't need to be so over the top fake.
On the short dress with the feathered hem, why gush about how beautiful it is when the eye is distracted by the bra cups. Why are these and see thru midriffs, which visually cut the torso, seen as attractive?
I don't believe for a minute that they don't have dresses under $5000 that are probably a lot prettier than the ones the first lady was trying on. It looked like she was stuck in the 80's.
I hate it when Rene steps in every time during the gown selection process and fakely gush about how beautiful the bride looks and bla bla. Like lady, you don't have to be at your customer's tail for every purchase! It looks pathetic.
I agree, but in another episode she overheard some clients calling her out that she wasn’t showing her face to them. So, she made it a point to show her face. Also, I agree the whole fakery of her compliments, but if you ever worked in retail or when you go to a clothing shop the sales associates will address you with enthusiasm (and yes most of the time it’s fake). I have had to fake being excited, simply because some days I just wasn’t having a good day.
The first dress that Carmen tried on looked like it was made of Kleenex tissues, I wouldn`t give 1 dollar for it...! And the dress that Shari brought with her looked like she had a T-shirt bra on top of the dress!!
Never be embarrassed however many times you’ve been married. My Pentalcostal Grandma was married 7 times!!!! She said life is too short to be unhappy! She also said Don’t take shi-t from anybody! Have a good life!
Amen! I’ve never been married and it’s funny because people are just as ashamed of that it seems. Just goes to show you can never make everyone happy so just make sure you make yourself happy :)
1) Bride's budget is $3,000 and the first dress if $8,000? COME ON!! Second bride has it together; bride for bridesmaid dresses could have handled that situation a lot better than she did and the bridemaids could have asked to see a different black dress perhaps. They ALL need 'good luck'
On one hand, I agree. On the other hand, at the beginning she said black or red and a little pink. Then she did a complete turn around and she chose black. Both the pink and red dresses were not that nice but the black were quite nice. The bridezilla calls them a bitch and the one day. Given the fact they have to pay for it - I'd want to make sure I could wear it again.
YES! I'm the perfect example of "Third time's the Charm" 💐 - as I'm married for the third time 🥂🍾 and we're in our 40th year of marriage!! ✨ 💜🧓🏼👴🏼💜 (and I still wake up every morning, grateful that he's beside me!) 💙🫂💙 And by the way Renee`, it's VERY hard for me to believe that you've been in the wedding dress business for over 30 years . . . as you look all of 36 yrs old!!! 😘 Truly!!
As soon as Carmen started talking It was obvious she had that professional voice, look and demeanor. Not surprised she's on tv. She is a beautiful bride & her mom is precious.
I am shocked that these bridal stylists suggest dresses that are so insanely over the bride’s budget! That is unacceptable. And the really expensive ones looked tacky… thankfully she was able to find a dress she loved that ended up being under budget! 💗
That consultant knows the $3k budget yet pulls thr 1st two dresses at $8k & $7.5k. She works for the bride. She’s horrible and pushy to make this bride go above her budget. That’s #1 of what not to do when shopping for a wedding dress! She needs to go.
1. That bride needs new bridesmaids 2. Sharri looked gorgeous I the short dress 3. The other bride wanted something conservative for her fiancée family but her dress wasn't that conservative but still beautiful
I love how Renee is very conscious of her client and customer service and their budget, not thrilled with the sales clerk, but definitely a great store owner and understands word of mouth adverts. Pleased customers come back and bring their daughters!
I thought he was imitating actor, Martin Short, but after a bit of research, I learned that Martin Short copied Kevin Lee in his role as the wedding planner!
@@elaineculbert8594 My sister and I wore dresses at my brother's wedding that did not suit us at all (we are short and not slim, whereas her 2 sisters are tall and slender) - but we paid for them, wore them once and threw them away.
@@BasicYTHandle - That was very nice (and generous) of you! Sometimes, there’s moments in life we just have to “suck it up” and go with the flow, isn’t there. In 10 years time, things that seemed like a big deal at the time, fade in importance as the years roll by.
Consultants who know what the budget is, should NOT put the bride to be in dresses that are way over budget. They are pushing the bride and her family into something that isn't what they have agreed on.
What I never get, the bride says $3000 tops and the first thing the consultant asks, a little higher is that possible? A tops is a maximum! Why get 4 dresser and 3 are wayyyyyy over their budget, excuse me I would walk out! That last dress was awesome and looked like is was made for her. That short dress was super cute. Those bridesmaids you should wear what the bride says, no discussion needed!
My bridesmaids were in long black dresses. I also split the price of the dress because they had to wear a specific dress but they get to keep it to rewear. They had a teal sash.
When a customer says there is some wiggle-room, it doesn't mean double the budget and then some... That could easily be the difference between finding a dress in your shop or finding it elsewhere. As for the bridesmaids, the associate could have intervened early by standing up for the bride. If she had family there, maybe I could see staying out of it, but the bride needed an ally early in the exchange.
