I hated my daughter's prom dress. She absolutely adored it! I kept my mouth shut, and she still absolutely and happily adores it. That makes me happy. IDC about a dress.
Who spends that kind of money on a dress that’s only going to be worn once? I’m what is considered very well off financially and the price of these dresses are ridiculous. Now if it could be worn to more than one function then it might be a good investment but otherwise forget it. A wedding is just one day.
I agree and many I know just rented their dresses. Those who did buy it only bought it for a low price. Why spend so much on a dress you will only wear once?
Maybe they are super rich and it is small change to them. It is their right to spend their money as they choose. It also provides employment for designers and craftspeople whose work should be appreciated and valued.
If I say I have a budget of 10k don't show me dresses above that. It should be 10k, full stop. If they asked me "hey, do we have a little wiggle room on the price?" I may change my mind. But when there's no communication on the prices, and they show me things I feel I can't afford, would be upsetting to me.
First of all you’re not seeing the whole episode and they always say they usually don’t do that, but I’m sure they showed it to her and told her the price. What else are they supposed to do when the bride wants a very specific type of dress and the only dress that has everything she wants is $15,000. Some people are very demanding, but in the same token it’s a program and they are trying to make it more interesting for the viewer. I’ve looked up some of the brides after the program and some of them aren’t even wearing the dresses they say yes to on the show.
They will always tell the bride they are about to put her in a dress that if over her budget and they let the bride choose to put it on or not. I've never seen a consultant on this show if they put you in a dress that's more than a few hundred over your budget, not tell the bride the price of the dress because if it's not doable, there is no point to put it on. But alot of brides will put it on anyway.
I took my mom dress shopping with me when I thought I would get the big wedding. She gave her opinion but said it was my choice I was the one who wears it
I am blessed I didn’t have any drama when I took my mom my older sister and my best friend dress shopping. I tried on a mermaid dress that was 2 sizes 2 small and we all agreed no to that dress lol
Is it more expensive to have a dressmaker/ couturier make a wedding gown in the US? Brides can just have gown copied or work with a couturier to design their gowns made within their budget. All gowns I saw in this video doesnt meet the price tags. Not really pretty.
Listen, I get that on your wedding day you want to look and feel like a bride. But you don't need to spend so much money to do so. They have plenty of beautiful dresses for reasonable prices. It will not make your marriage or wedding better if you get a more expensive dress, it's all in your head.
I wanted to c the most expensive gown, not the ones u gave us, I just spent $2248 on my daughter in laws dress, and no dress would of topped it no matter how much it cost, she couldn’t stop smiling and we couldn’t stop crying, she looks like an absolute angel and she just lit up, and my son will b the luckiest man alive
It is ridicouless and wasted money to pay that much money on a dress which is worn for one day... I ordered my custom made wedding dress in China at a big online shop. They requested many meassurements and I had a lot of changes like another material, more Bling Bling, a closer back etc. It needed three weeks to make it and including the shipping. It is/was my dream dress they made it perfect and it fits perfect. For all that I paid about 220 $ and they sent additional a fitting hoop 💝💝💝💝💝
Important! The sales tax in NYC is close to 9%. The alterations are almost always expensive, even if you don’t ask for all the special touches they want. And the accessories tack on a lot, so a 3,000 dollar dress is easily 4500 once that’s all added in.
The problem is these women spend more time caring about picking out all the "right" aspects of the wedding instead of the most important aspect of the marriage....picking the right spouse for the right reasons!! The wedding is about celebrating the union of a husband and wife to form a marriage, not about selecting the best caterer, flowers, dress etc or trying to out do all of your friend's and family's weddings!!!
There are baby pageants, toddler pageants, teen pageants, miss (young adult) pageants, Mrs. Pageants... then there's city pageants or town pageants, state pageants. Miss USA, Miss Universe and so on... so I don't think there really is an age when you have to stop competing. You just stop when you lose interest.
@@chenisejenkins1786 whoaaa I had no idea! Thank you. These arent really a thing here so ive only ever seen the odd snippet on tv or youtube. Truly thought it was children up to age 18 or 21. Love the idea theres a 'Mrs' one
Ummm It's her wedding, so the only person who gets to say what she wears is her. Also, the price of these dresses is ridiculous. I got married in Europe, the land of wedding dresses, and some were more glamorous than these were, and they weren't even this ridiculously priced. My parents would've bought me any wedding dress that I wanted, and were ready to go to France, Spain, and Italy, for my dress, after we checked out Germany and the UK, but I wanted to redo my white prom dress, but then I saw a dress on the rack, and a white hat, and I bought both, and redesigned the dress, and used the sash from the dress for the hat, and used my white shoes from my Senior Prom, and I still got married in a German Castle to a handsome American soldier, so it all worked out well, and my Daddy wanted to give me a huge Ukrainian wedding with all the works, and customs, and my Momma wanted to throw in all the German customs, horse drawn carriage, soldiers with swords over the head, etc... my parents wanted added, and I just wanted to get married, and not all the fuss, but I did want a perfect wedding for me and my groom, and a small simple wedding was just fine with us, because the next year we had our daughter, a child we were told that I would never be able to have, to spend money on, and we didn't mind doing that for her,and getting her things.
To want to spend that kind of money on a dress just shows what insanity looks like! That really should scare the h.. out of the Bridegroom. Stop the insanity!
I remember that I just wanted to get it over with the sari and the ceremony when I got married. If I were a bit more mature, I would have chosen a court marriage 😂
My daughter recently got.married i a stunning dress that cost £850..probably around $1000. She is paying £70 for it to be altered into a above the knee coctail dress.
Agree, So many choices. Especially even a 3k vs. 5K or 15k. THink Those who Are not part of an Intimate wedding said few will be be able to describe "the dress". They will be able to describe the setting, the yummy food or music, laughter. Sorry 15k on a dress just saddens me.
When my daughter in law was getting her dress there was a 15,500 dress in the store. I called it the MINI Cooper dress because that is what I paid for my MINI. My DIL paid 3,800 and 2,000 in alterations. My DIL looked gorgeous.
Try going to the washroom in any of the gowns. You almost need to be a contortionist 😂😂. I had to have 3 of my bridesmaids holding my dress from the front. Have a great day ❤️🙂⚘️.
I think every venue should have a bidet, so no one had to wipe you. Plus maybe a toilet the is away from the wall with no back. Something to straddle, not available to men, in a private room that if the bride had to strip down, she could. Some of those form fitting dresses, there is no way to use the bathroom without taking off the dress.
If you wear a ball gown with a big skirt, it’s no problem unless you were stupid enough to wear stockings and a garter. I assure you that women peed back in the day, but they also didn’t wear underpants. If you are wearing a mermaid dress, you are SOL.
I saw a show a long time ago. Not sure if it was filmed in the US or the UK. Anyway, the show featured a shop where a bride to be was in the market to buy a used wedding gown. The original owners would go to the store with their used dresses and the bride to be would buy and reuse the dress. Not sure why they don’t have more shops like that around here.
Whoever wrote the commentary on this video...stop overdoing it. Starting at 4:40 - what???? What does any of that mean? "This picky bride is not choosy at all." ????
10:15 I want to gauge my ears out with the way this whole group talks. Stretching the last syllable of every word, all sounding like valley girls. Lord please make it stoooooopppp Like, ohh my gaaawwwwddd
This dress was a Lazaro, Style #3059, which cost $4,400.00 USD at the time of purchase. There are quite a few pre-owned copies for sale online, with a quick Google search, most of them at much lower prices. I'm not sure what year the collection is from, but the oldest pre-owned copy that I found was from 2011. There was also a version that was not strapless, a sleeveless V-neck.
If it was my wedding I’d buy a $20,000 dress and then I told them give me 100,000 as a gift people are hungry this is ridiculous for one freaking day you know people who don’t have to get disgusted by this but they’re happy they’re happy because I think people with a lot of money have more headaches
Ithink they also should do updates version of are these couples still married because when you get married it’s not about the experience of your wedding venue and dress and how it was expensive or cheap if your wedding is what you as the bride always dreamed of and your groom as well because you two become one flesh after being married and marriage is till death do you part not a oh wrote my own vows so now these words you once said on that day you don’t mean no more this is why marriage is a serious decision you make for a soulmate in life it should not be taken lightly this is why when the original marriage vows are said for better or worse in sickness and and health for rich or for poor as long as you both shall live untill death do you part this is a life long commitment and promise you are making to that spouse they will always have your back no matter what happens in life people need to take marriage serious it is a relationship for life this is your life partner untill you or her die yes the wedding and everything else that pertaining to your wedding is special and personal but rich or poor wedding it is serious and sentimental it is supposed to be a once in a lifetime marriage so yes you want your day special and you want it your way but just remember when it’s all said and done it’s really all about the love ❤️ you have to each other and that you truly want to spend the rest of your entire life with that one special person as long as you live on earth and have fun growing old together sharing all your time with each other enjoying each other’s company and having fun together doing what you two both like doing and grow old doing it together and loving each and every second of every moment of every single day that you have the honor and privilege to cherish each time you spend together growing more and more in love with each other every single day and that is what makes growing old together fun because you look forward to wake up to that person everyday and thoroughly enjoying every moment spent with that person that relationship you respect cherish admonish and appreciate that person being in your life more and more each day you will make memories together that will mean the entire world to you and love. Love. Love ❤️ unconditional love to each other forever ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
Grand large weddings are so passé. And don’t kid yourself, yours will never be innovative or creative no matter what you think or spend. We’ve all seen it before. The expense and the stress alone make them ridiculous considering at least half will end in divorce within five years. What to do instead? Get married with only close family. Have a lovely dinner. Spend the rest of your first year celebrating with the people you really love. Dinners, outings, etc. Put the money toward an investment. A house, stocks, a designation experience for the two of you. A wedding album which can be written on is a great way to personalize. Think high school yearbook. Be creative. Don’t be a sheeple.
