Bride's Duelling Mums "Acting Like Children" During Appointment | Say Yes To The Dress Atlanta 

I can't believe that stepmom pulled a $6800 gown then sat there like a mute when they said it's over budget. Cheapskate

I hate it when people pick dresses way over the brides budget and then get very quiet when it comes to talking about payment. Just stay within budget. It is there for a reason.

"We'll talk about it" nah, stepmom. You picked a dress over her budget. You're going to pay for it.

The “Step” mom acted disgustingly. How insulting to choose an over budget dress and then play possum when the price is discussed! She should have been “dismissed” from the appointment at that point!

I love the way the bride stick to her budget. Her step mom tried to take over her biological mom, but I love the way the bride just took the dress off.

The step mom picked the expensive dress to show she knows the bride better than her own mom. She was trying to show the mom up. There’s a lot of pain and tension there.

She brought her mom, step mom, future mother in law and grandmother to the appointment?😩She is trying hard to have the most conflicting appointment in Say Yes to the dress history. Bring one, not all

Mom’s first pick was wayyyy prettier then the step-mom’s.

i just love how we are stuck in 2008

The way this bride handles her entourage, not letting anyone cross her personal boundaries and not once being rude just amazes me. I thought having so much family was a way to disaster but when the bride knows what she wants and doesn't try to please everyone it gets much easier.

I don’t mean ANY HARM, but “STEP”-Mom needs to STEP BACK🙄🙄🙄

Why would the stepmom do that. If she was gonna pay for it then I guess it would be fine but she didn’t have to do that.

That stepmom didn’t care about the bride at all. She just wanted to “win” by having the bride like her pick. The stepmom is disgustingly childish.

I feel like the consultant should have told the price of the dress before she tried it on. So that she could have made a decision to try it on or not. And you should be willing to pay the difference if you pick the dress that’s over priced and that you picked. Don’t just stay there and look like a fish out of water

EVERY, bridal consultant lost their smiles when Lori said,” Today’s meeting’s going to be about mother/daughter relationships.” 😆

I feel like it's brutally unfair and cruel when the entourage picks a dress out of budget, and the bride falls in love with it but can't afford it. Unless the ones picking dresses out of budget are upfront with, "I'll pay the difference," they should stay in their lane. It's unfair and cruel.

The way everyone went silent when she asked what's the price for the 2nd dress was so deafening

Wow, the stepmom was so rude to pick a dress that is waaayy over budget when the bride was so strict about it. And she didn't even offer to pay the difference, she just looked around the room and not feeling guilty at all!

- Oh, Hanna, mama loves this one! - Well, mama, Hanna doesn't like that very much

The bride’s mother’s pick was way better than stepmama’s in my opinion.

Mum: Something's missing... Me: Bring out the veil! *Brings out a belt instead.* Me: Oh, okay then 😂

I like how the stepmom had the nerve to say "why do you keep looking at meee... " and did that weird eye thing at the biological mom as if trying to say she's not the one responsible for picking an out of budget dress. What a toxic woman.

" There's something missing" Oh no, whatever will they do!!!!

I find it so funny that the bride gave the consultant what she’d like in a dress and her “step-momma” says the complete opposite. Also, I’m hearing a lot of “I want” “I envision” from everyone but the bride.

Who tries a dress on without looking at the price first? Or am I just too poor 😂🤣

I think her biological Mom is great. She knows the bride's limitations and respects it.

So stepmom wants to show up biological mom BUT won’t act like an actual mom and cough up the extra $$ when she picked an over the budget dress🙄

If you have to please everyone, you're not ready to get married lol. Glad the bride stuck to her guns on the budget.

The step mom just wanted to upstage mom's pick.

The step mom picked over budget and said "we will talk about it later" and when later came, she said "why are you looking at me like that"...... like are u serious bish????? the decent thing you could have told her that you might help with the dress.. just wow, looks like she is just jealous of leaving the decision with the bride and her own mom

I like how she said "they pick out dresses that aren't in budget" when it was her stepmother and stepmother alone who chose it

I'm a stepmother, and when my step daughter got married, I did not get involved at all. It was her moment with her mom. I stepped aside. That's respect.

Um she might want to blend her blush out a little bit. She is so pretty she doesn’t need all that makeup 😅😆💖

ill come back when the comments have marinated a while

That stepmother is a real piece of work.!

The one she ended up picking was so perfect for her! She looked gorgeous 🥰

that's nasty, you can't choose a dress the bride can't afford and make it her problem after you indicated the willingness to pay 😑

Bruh I hate it when the mother is like “It’s the dress!” Like bro it’s not up to you

If the Lord blesses me with getting married again at age 62- the only person who I'll ask opinions from is the bridal consultant that's helping me find a dress- that's it! When I got married years ago, I made my gown (I'm also a seamstress and designer and did bridal), so I didn't answer to anyone then- and I'm certainly not about to start now! 😒

The dress she chose waaaayyy better than the iver budget dress

After that stunt the stepmom pulled I would tell her she needs to leave if I was the bride.

What is wrong with all these people who want their daughter or themselves to “look like a princess?” They all sound like really bad cases of arrested development.

Why invite people who will never agree just out of spite.

Lori has perfect insight when working with customers. Not too many people out there that really listen to what they want. ❤️

That's the loveliest thing I've heard a bride on the show day. "He's my favorite person in the world!" ❤💕

This is one of the very few dresses I actually like on this show

If I see one more 'sparkly' belt I'll have a fit.

"They" didn't grab dresses out of budget, stepmother did

It’s really shitty that they didn’t tell her the dress was ove budget before she tried it on, it always feels like they’re trying to scam their clients into pay more money in Atlanta.

✨💖✨Anybody feel like the stepmom(SM) was trying to upstage Mom with a dress that was so ridiculously over budget. I love how Hannah turned around and looked right at the SM. She is on to her games. This was a train wreck waiting to happen. And I love how Lori pulls out her southern girl know how and sets that train right back on track. May the young couple have many happy years together.

I hate when the stepmom thinks she is the mom.

Stepmother was not right for picking a dress way over budget when the bride was very clear on sticking to her budget. Then not even being willing to pay the extra cost. Yeah, I would have been very upset with her. Thankfully the dress the bride chose was beautiful on her and in budget.

My eldest daughter took only myself & my mom wedding gown shopping with her and my middle daughter took just me. They had a step mom at the time as well who they got along with but figured having just me with them would be more appropriate.

Unless the stepmom is going to come up with the difference for the dress, she needs to stay in her seat.

So happy they were all in agreeance with the dress she chose Huge mistake bringing all the mums and grandma, was very awkward for everybody involved 😬😬

Finally someone who does not say MERMAID or BALLGOWN upfront as their preferred dress style. I would love to have more variety in the dresses.

It appears that both mums were competing with each other as to who gets to choose THE dress and, in the end, it was Lori’s choice that won the day. Go Lori!!! Her choice was gorgeous. Was waiting for the veil, though, to complete the look.

I am so glad Lori picked the dress she chose. That ended the oneupsmanship game with horrible stepmom.

It is so clear that stepmother doesn't care about bride's boundary 😪

"I refer to him as 'Nick'" killed me

i hate the step mom. if ur gonna make her fall in love with a dress that’s over her budget you better pay up.

The consultant should not have had the bride try on the overpriced gown without disclosing the price first. The stepmom comes across as sabotaging the appointment, and possibly even the marriage, because starting off in debt is not good. The bride chose the best dress. I hope the moms learned to get along, not just kept operating behind the thin veil of civility.

I can’t believe the step mom would pick that dress with no intentions to pay. I think she didn’t care about the bride and just wanted to “win”

Step mom needs to cut back on food bill if she goes over brides budget 🤔🤣

She came across as the evil step mum, that was so rude

Go Lori for finding a dress in the bride's budget and that her mom and step mom both love. I don't like how the mom and step mom were picking dresses over the bride's budget. Honeys unless you are paying for the dress, pick dresses within the bride's budget

Staff: mum drama/pleasing all of the mothers/mothers competing Also staff: today is the brides day

I love how she put her foot down with her budget 👌👌👌

The dress she picked was stunning.

I think the step mom picked that over budget on purpose, and when it came to payment she kept looking at the brides mom as if to say "she can pay the difference" just to make her look bad.

I love her final dress and the belt was perfect as it added just enough bling.

Just listen to Lori. She knows what she’s doing.

That first dress was so pretty on her 😍

Why do girls bring Miss Damn, Mr Damn, and the whole Damn family to pick out a gown? Harder to please a large group of people. Keep it small folks.

I think the mom was really looking for her daughter to have that wedding moment spark. And that’s why she wasn’t for the dress until the belt, cause she was really trying to see how her daughter felt. Where as the step-mother really cared about whether it was her pick that got chosen or not.

Things like this are part of the reason why I get super nervous whenever my parents or step parents are in a room with each other

My mom would never pick out a dress for my wedding that’s over budget… but my little sister would 😐

Both my Mom and future MIL thought the marriage wouldn't last...so I had my Matron of Honor/BFF and HER Mom go with me. These 2 ppl loved ME and wanted ME to be happy! I quickly found my perfect dress, and was happy and confident in my choice. My Mom saw the dress the day before my wedding. I'm sad it had to be that way, but...This year we are celebrating 38 happy years together, and look forward another 38 happy years; AND...we were a Blind Date that was Love at First Sight! I am Blessed!

It is for the Bride to choose the dress! BOTH "Mothers" need to back off! Yes, I am a Mama. My 3 Children have married...and Mama never said a word as to style!

My dads wife could NEVER be at my appointment, I’m just having my Mum at mine… no out ranking bs no where plus I’m too over protective of my mum to see someone try disrespect her

I’m so glad she found a similar dress in budget.💚💚

Lori saves the day yet again with her wisdom and magnificent touch!

Stepmom did not need to be there. Her opinion does not count unless she was going to help pay for the dress.

My daughter started asking me what I liked and I told her what she loved, I would love. It is your day and you make your wedding please you. She looked georgeous.

"They're both my mom." Well, if there isn't a greater insult and painful declaration to her actual, living mom....

Yes the bride can have her own preferences but the consultants are there for some reason... So sometimes just give a try to their suggestions... and if the consultant is Lori or Gok You definitely won't regret 😉

Her blush and eye makeup though 😁

Simply beautiful, hard to please moms, bravo lovely young lady.

Here’s an idea for the mum who picked out the over budget dress, pay up or shut up!

The stepmom seems jealous of the mom. I loved the dress she picked.

Lesson learned: really understand the dynamics of 2 competing Mothers and then choose wisely on who comes to the appointment

It was very wrong of the Stepmom to put her in a dress that was over budget. Only do that if you’re willing to pay the difference. The bride looked hurt when she found out the price. That was not a time to have a pissing contest between Mom and Stepmom.

Lori sure knows her stuff, thankfully.

I love how she’s nodding her head towards her mom . That was just wrong

It was almost like you could see her trying not to go off on stepmom. Good for her for being able to control it.

Stepmom is gross, and vile. I've been a Stepmom. Understand that the child you love came from the DNA of a person you can't stand. That child is still precious and unique and amazing 💞 Support the bride, even if it means respecting the biological mom. Facts.

Lol I thought the stepmom was her birth mom, the bride looks more alike to her stepmom than her mom

Lol RIP salesgirl. If the price difference wasn't approved offscreen by Laurie, associate should have let the bride know it was above budget before putting it on. Dress should have been put back/ price disclosed after Step-Mom surreptitiously forced it on the Salesgirl without agreeing to pay the difference. It's an awkward interactions, but going over budget (even minimally) can lose customer trust & the overall sale. Luxury good sellers have to be able to confront customers about budget concerns or they shouldn't be in luxury, unfortunately. 1k is a lot to some people & that was a snake move on the step mom, but even more of a bad sales move on the employee. Confrontation w step mom is better than killing a sale

The way how the smiles went away in the beginning when they heard that they'll talk about the relationship between mothers and daughters😂

the first dress looks amazing btw
