This dramatic bride is torn between her desire to wear a big dress and the groom's idea of what she should wear. Catch Say Yes to the Dress on TLC - Sky 133, Virgin 162, BT TV 323
@Chrysaura i dunno, when she says "when things don't go 100% my way it's the end of the world" and then mom is just like "yes it's beautiful it's perfect" no matter what she puts on, i get the sense mom's never really told her daughter "no" before and that's where she gets her "dramatic" (i.e. spoiled & childish) personality from.
@@dietotaku maybe the camera exaggerated going to the mother's face (and her facial expressions), but I thought her mother looked like she was trying to deflect an explosion. Like she was hoping the bride wouldn't throw a fit - again! - and this time on camera. Trying to appease. But again, maybe that was staged and filmed to seem that way.
Me either - it's a big deal getting married. She was far more classy than a lot of brides in these shows who seem to think it's all about the wedding, and forget that it's actually about the marriage.
I bet people have been calling her dramatic and hot-tempered until she believed it about herself. What we saw right there was absolutely normal, and very respectful.
People probably told her that, because that is exactly what she displays. Blames her mom for her own indecision, worries too much about appearing perfect in front of others, is very insecure, and controlling with high standards. She needs to grow up before marrying.
According to SYTTD, a meltdown is crying a little bit and thanking the consultant for being so understanding. I wish more people had "meltdowns" like this sweet young woman.
Just Kat I mean, fair, but a meltdown by definition is “severe emotional distress,” and I don’t think crying a bit is exactly severe. Now, you don’t have to be rolling around on the floor or anything like that to be under severe emotional distress, but meltdown is a bit of an overstatement for her feeling slightly overwhelmed at the thought of growing up and getting married. I think it waters down the word a bit too much - emotional meltdowns/breakdowns are really scary experiences.
@@katebet07 Lord, I was so thankful for miss Zoe being there for her!! Indeed, sometimes supportive family are just not enough and you need a hug from outside!
Must admit I thought she might have some anxiety issues. Just the way she was holding herself at the beginning, sensed a bit of a nervous flutter, but then that was probably just from being interviewed on camera
"If things don't go my way, it's the end of the world..." that statement makes the bride sound like a 27 year old toddler. That being said, I think she's not. She is just overwhelmed by it all. I feel like they cut out the rest of her statement to make her look immature and make it more" dramatic"
@@katebet07 my full comment got posted before I finished writing it. So I corrected it. She is sweet. She is just overwhelmed by everything. Bits just that that statement she made, I feel like there was more to it and they cut it out. So just that statement alone makes her sound immature or like she's prone to having tantrums when she most likely isn't
Here we go again . . . The bride says 1,000-1,500 is her budget & the consultant's 1st dress is OVER that budget. So, WHY ask for the bride's budget, then, if they're not going to respect it?????
So was the third dress. What if she fell in love with one over her budget? She either walks our without the dress she loves, or goes over budget because she loves it so much.
MCG525 That’s why the consultant shouldn’t give her a dress over budget. Like you said, what happens if she falls in love with a dress over her budget? But What happens when she falls in love with a dress over budget, but she can’t afford it? She can’t just walk out with it. The consultant should stay in budget at all times unless the bride says they can go over.
I’ve got to agree. It insanely ticks me off when stylists purposely try to make you spend more money by bringing dresses over your budget. Some people really can’t afford to go over their budget and people need to learn to be more respectful of that. 1,500 sounded like her top anyways with the tone in her voice and there are a TON of more affordable, beautiful dresses within her budget.
Sometimes the dresses they want or describe are out of price range. The person looks for the style they described and gives it to them. Its like asking for a big sparkling ball gown but they don’t have any in her price range. Some designs are more expensive
Congratulations! That is fantastic news! Enjoy every moment of organising the wedding, but always keep in mind that it's the marriage that is most important - if at the end of the day you've seen a lot of your favourite people, everyone's had something to eat and drink, there has been laughter and celebration, then your wedding was perfect. Little things will go wrong - but don't let them overrun the most important things. Congratulations again! So very happy for you x
@@katebet07 thank you!! Thats such good advice, thank you! We have 3 years to plan it all because of covid so I'll remember to take it slow and not get overwhelmed by the silly things x
This episode really was more about the people than the dresses - a beautiful and supportive family, a caring and understanding consultant, and a bride who actually recognises the significance of getting married - she is no longer a little girl. I don't know her, and all I can go by is this short video, but it seems to me that the bride doesn't realise just how beautiful she is. Every single one of those dresses was absolutely divine on her - and I hope that she finds the one that makes her feel as beautiful as others (especially her entourage) see and know she is.
So true, awareness is the first step! We all have hurdles to work through. Hopefully she is someone who takes on her challenges instead of accepting them as an integral part of herself.
From Louise - Don't blame your mum for your indecision - you have only just started looking. Mum's get the blame too much - she was lovely - she loves you and thinks you look beautiful in everything because your are her daughter. Good luck on you wedding dress hunting.
I think the title is just wrong. It's edging into that perpetuating a sexist trope territory. Even if the bride described herself as dramatic, she certainly didn't behave that way. She just got a little emotional over a process that is quite...emotional. She was reasonably emotional. hahaha
maybe we ought to keep in mind the difference between a british outburst and an american one too. by their standards that probably does constitute a breakdown.
It's sexist because as soon as a woman tears up she is emotional, dramatic, unstable. This is an emotional process. If a man tears up on his wedding day he is a hero for showing emotions.
@@dietotaku, as a Brit, I can confirm the thoughts of others that this is nowhere near a meltdown, and would not be considered as such here. She’s just feeling a bit overwhelmed and anxious and having a bit of a cry. I think the title is more about clickbait than trying to accurately describe the bride.
What a lovely, lovely entourage she has! Not trying to push her, acknowledging her feelings. Even the way they say things. There’s such a difference between “You look uncomfortable, but the dress is so pretty!” and “The dress is so pretty, but you look uncomfortable.” It’s like the word “but” tells you which part is more legit or important.
Gosh, can that stylist do anything? When she says there is something missing, put a belt on her, put a vail on! Do something to make her look even more beautiful!
I partially agree, but I think the consultant may have picked up that the bride wasn't in a space where she could have picked a dress on that day. It sometimes happens - and I have to say I respect a place that does not push a bride to buy a dress on the day, if they are not in the right head space. But I would have liked to see her jacked up just so I could see what she would have looked like! :D
First, if a bride says budget is 1000 - 1500 you do not start showing her a 1700 dress and finish with a 1600!. Second, why worrying about what fiancé will think of the dress? If you like it, go for it. He will think you are beautiful, if you believe it yourself. Third, I don't think Zoe picked the right dresses for her. Among so many choices, how is it possible she failed in finding the right one?
I think she's grown up being told she is dramatic and has taken it on board. She's just a normal person displaying emotions at a very profound time of her life.
You're not. I can empathise with that actually as a daughter. It's not because the mum doesn't care or doesn't understand but because she has different opinions.
She looked lovely in all of them. Don’t know why she was self-conscious, there was nothing I could see wrong with her figure. She could wear anything and look good. Hope she found her dream dress and wish her well for the future. 💕🇦🇺
Yeah i was thinking the same thing... all of those dresses were very nice and looked great on her but her lack of self confidence ruined it. If a lady isn't already confident before the appointment then a beautiful gown won't solve the way she sees herself. Her mom saw her as beautiful regardless
Sometimes what you think you want doesn’t match reality. What you see in the mirror isn’t what you imagined. I have been with friends in their sixties shopping for regular clothes who still don’t understand what style really flatters their bodies and when I hand them something they don’t like on the hanger, I make them try it on for the style. It might be the wrong color or have wrong embellishments but once they put something on, they understand how something properly fits and how it flatters their silhouette. They can then quit trying on items that they just keep seeing as failures and cause more discouragement.
I have (had) broad shoulders and my husband said I needed to show them on my wedding day. I designed and made my gown with elbow length sleeves but off the shoulder...still love it 31 years later.
Guys I’m cryinggg, my teacher went on the show and she said it was like all staged and shi I’m a shookk, I thought it was 100 percent real she also said it wasn’t rlly worth it 😭😂
We should know we have failed as a society when a bride gets so self conscious about something as normal as a little bit of belly. When she said the dress looked lovely on the hanger and just not on her made me feel terrible. Self esteem issues are very difficult to deal with, this bride is beautiful and i wish her alot of strength and happiness
i have to say i think Zoe is an amazing consultant and has excellent personal and communication skills. i always look forward to seeing her. thanks for this. also david is SO theatrical! he should really have been on stage!
I was wondering the same thing, their "ball gowns" are "A-lines" in the States. If they are meant to have a hoop or crinoline slap one on the woman so she can see what it should really look like.
Zoe is so cute and kind, she is my second favourite consultant after Gok :) Also, the title is a clickbait, regardless of how the bride talked about herself in the beginning of the episode, she does not act spoiled or dramatic at all, and that was not a meltdown, but a totally understandable moment of feeling overwhelmed and emotional about how her life is about to change. Bless her heart.
Dress 3 was beautiful, perfect for her. I think her emotions were perfectly normal and she was so worried that she would be labeled as dramatic. She is not. Nice supportive family. She has to stop overthinking everything!
I wouldnt call her dramatic at all. It's a big event in any person's life and coming to term with all those changes can be scary even though it's also beautiful and was exciting.
so nice to see a mother who is so supportive for once! I feel like a lot of mothers on this show are quick to voice their opinions about each little thing they don't like, but this mom just thought her daughter looked beautiful in everything and just wanted her to feel her best
I would’ve loved to gotten married at her venue, it’s absolutely gorgeous. My wedding dress in 1983 looked like something “Guinevere” would have worn. Including a Skull-Cap” headpiece with a veil attached to the back. I wish there was a follow-up video showing what she finally decided on.
The mum is sooooooo sweet. When she speaks in that slow comforting voice and says "its gorgeous" u feel like ur holding a mug of rich sweet hot chocolate with marshmallows melting in it
True, they have 2-4 brands in their store, and even from those, they only hold 3 main styles: the plain skirt fit, the sparkly mermade, and the sparkly tool skirt gown. And there is nothing unique about any of the dresses.
The title had me feeling iffy at first, but the super supportive family members was really nice to see. They talked thru all her emotions and slowly got to where she wanted to be. It's really sweet.
I don’t like the way she blames the mom. She said several times that mom is confusing me because she likes the silhouette dress. The fact is mom told her she looked beautiful in every dress she tried on. What a great mom.
She's 27...it seems like what the fiance wants and what he's getting for the wedding theme is working on her, reducing her to the wrong kind of tears, making her face the reality of getting married to someone who wants it his way. The mother is super supportive because yes, she looked stunning in all three dresses.
Being a bride with a lovely figure that looks good in everything can be a double edged sword. It’s hard to narrow choices when everything looks beautiful.
There are like a gazillion castles in the UK. And they are great for photos. Classy decorations on the inside. Beautiful architecture inside and outside that really help with the decoration budget (high ceiling, check: large room, check: antique molding, check: wall painting, check: chandelier, check.) Well-maintained garden and (sometimes) unique landscape on the outside. What's not to love. And given that the theme is Games of Throne, a castle location makes sense.
I've been to several castle weddings and none of my friends are rich. Castle owners need the income, they are expensive places to run and if they charged too much fewer people would use them. They are glorious locations. So stunning.
For many once-wealthy titled families who are still holding on to the family castle, "events" like weddings are a much needed way to make money for the upkeep. Even things that would be minor repairs on a regular house cost a fortune when it's a castle and has to be done in a way that preserves the original. I think there is or was even a reality show dealing with that! ;-)
