@@allanawilks7232 true, the lower the budget the higher they try to push it. But the second bride’s dress would have still come in under so that’s something 🤷♀️
@@maxguevara5204 It's also an amazing guide to salesmanship and diplomacy. If my dear little control-freak Southern Mama were still alive, I'd have a pocketful of tactful ways to tell her to keep her snarkiness to herself.
@@haplessasshole9615 exactly, your mama sounds interesting to say the least. Actually without the southern part she sounds like my dad. Love my dad to death but more than an afternoon with him can be taxing.
i have to agree with the dad, the top half is beautiful but the bottom half is just eh. but i’m glad the dad was supportive when she said yes unlike other parents who would throw and absolute fit over if their daughter didn’t pick their dress.
Yep I think the bottom made her look like a cake topper. The skirt is fitted weird on the hips. But then the first dress overwhelmed her. I think she could have done better.
I think if they used a less puffy underskirt ( I forget it’s proper name lol) the dress would sit nicer as I agree it sticks out to much. Beautiful dress overall though
Emma’s dad picked the best dress by far. The one she chose made her happy which is what matters in the end, but her dads pick was stunning because it was a bit out of the ordinary, IMO.
I love how Emma's sister was so choked by her happiness in the dress. It's wonderful to see a bride with that level of love and support, rather than the squalling, tantrum-throwing entourage that we're usually treated to.
@@kerrystone7375 That wouldn't be the actual dress she wore anyway, unless she was buying from a trunk show. Normally you order it and it comes in custom made to your measurements. You don't usually take one off the rack and wear it or have alterations done to it. Some people do it but usually only because of a lack of time to have one properly made for you.
Um, Emma’s choice…I personally hated it. My eyes kept being drawn to the heavy lace/netting of the bodice. I think it overwhelmed her. And did anyone else notice the bodice/sleeve netting was ripped apart in two places? I know she’s going to order her own dress, but how durable is it going to be? Remember, she’s going to be dancing, hugging guests, etc. Btw, I didn’t like dad’s choice, either. I see Emma in a silk satin, lightly ruched gown with long sleeves, bateau neckline, slim silhouette. I know. Not exactly (!) a princess gown. But I did this for a living.
It was only split at the very fragile seam, not "ripped apart." And no, it isn't a durable dress, but as long as it holds up for the duration of the event, that's all that matters. WE don't need to "remember" that she's going to be doing anything, nobody out here being in attendance at her wedding. Nobody needs to know, nor cares, what anyone else thinks except for the bride and her father.
@@jb6712 I meant that brides in general should check to make sure they can move comfortably in their dresses. This includes bridesmaids, those attending proms, any social function.
Yes, at several places it was ripped, and not fitted at all, collarbust part too long for her (gorgeous person) personal size, so it doesn t fit thighs but ruffles. Can't understand how this footage made it till broadcasting, very bad quality pick, so poor publicity.
I agree and have to mention her age too... She wanted to feel like a princess but the dress she chose didn't do her justice! Sometimes what we have in mind is not always the right choice! And that's the opinion of a woman who designs wedding dresses and got married on her 40s..
Everyone: loving the first dress Meanwhile me: that skirt made her look like an ostrich.. second dress was much better! Idk different people have different opinions!
That second bride is so cute and awesome. And I love how the first one went in with a vision and got her vision, with such a supportive entourage to boot. They both had supportive entourages! It was nice to see.
love this woman's voice. and she's so laid back without being monotoned. she still smiles and laughs. doesn't look 39 at all. clearly her attitude has aged her well.
The second dress that she chose did nothing for her! She is so pretty, but that thick lace along the neck and arms was so distracting and the skirt just overwhelmed her. Dads pick was much better!
That's how I felt about it, but the bride loved it and she's the one who is going to be wearing it. The solid white top with the sweetheart , then the mesh, then that lace at the top and down the arms and that skirt were overpowering. She loved it and that's what counts.
THANK YOU!!!! I was thinking the same thing! I got married twice, stupidly, but never, ever want to do it again! At the age of 68+, it would take an AMAZING man for me to ever even possibly, maybe begin to think about perhaps getting married! And "princess"?? Not on my watch. I hate that look, and would never have thought of it for my daughter, had she lived to be an adult.
Yep. I know it’s a sample and they can get wrecked, but my cousin had one of these dresses with lots of mesh and it didn’t fair well during the dancing at her wedding. By the end of the night it was looking distinctly rag like and you’d struggle to donate it/pass down to a daughter etc. She knew she was going to do a lot of energetic dancing so I thought it was a pretty daft choice. She chose a good husband though, and to b honest m that was the bit that mattered.
@@dees3179 I was an asst Mgr at a bridal boutique. I cringe whenever I see illusion or even netting at stress points (sleeves, mostly). You just KNOW it’s going to rip/shred/look like “who did it and ran” by the end of the night.
No not EVERY GIRL wants to be a princess on her wedding day. I know that I didn't want to be a princess on my wedding day neither did my 2 daughters want to be a princess on their wedding day.
Lol no and no on both counts! I tried on a princess dress and nearly threw it across the room and planning a wedding has been a dread if I'm honest, and as a little girl I'd pull hair off Barbie's 😂
Yep, never wanted to be a princess. Sometimes I find it a bit odd tbh. Nothing wrong with a bit of fantasy but idk. Also, I only have one parent..... (step mum 😶)
The key IS little girls dream after watching fairytales. Many grow out of it with a fashion sense. That 1st bride at 48 was too old for full fairytale, a modified princess, or her dad's edgy choice reflected her maturity. Ah well....she is having the Tuscany castle wedding, so they have the bucks to renact a fairytale!
First bride in her dress of choice made her perfect decision however when she’s hugging her dad, I noted the tear in the upper arm (paused the vid, expanded the screen) and oh how I need to know that tear was repaired!!!
The sleeves on the dress the first bride picked are terrible with the odd gaps of skin in between the lace. Looks like a cheap figure skating costume. Would have been stunning with better or no sleeves!
I just realized when she gave her dad a hug the sample dress she was wearing had a hole in the sleeve and another hole with the sleeve on the other arm.
