This has happened in EVERY SINGLE EPISODE OF THE UK. They ALWAYS offer the dress they know the client will love as the last dress and then drop the bomb that it's over budget. It's so shady and so scammy. DON'T WATCH UK WATCH THE OTHER ONE with Randy where they actually respect people's budget.
160 pounds is not an amount to stress over.... then are you willing to pay it for her? They should have warned her about the price tag BEFORE they put her in it, very unprofessional of them.
I agree... If you want to show it, warn her before she's wearing it.... Then she had a choice before she could fell in love with it.... If 160 pounds is nothing for the shop, they had to pay it for her...
Totally agree I use to be a dress consultant and I never even showed a bride a dress over their budget 160 might not be a stretch for someone but it could make a dress totally unaffordable to another
Exactly! Even the consultants at ‘say yes to the dress US’ would go to the person in charge and ask if they can bring down the price at all, if a dress that the bride loves is over budget. But this shop is just unprofessional and not accomodating at all
"$148 pounds isn't worth this much stress." You're right, David. So since you brought her a dress over budget, you should discount it that $148 pounds.
Are you thick? Tessa is pointing out that for some people that amount of money *is* a lot. When you grow up without, you have a much different perspective on budgeting and finances.
yes, but some people want the luxury but don't have the money to fork out the price of a small car for a dress they'll only wear once. Honestly, telling someone "don't worry about the money" is such a stupid thing. Ofc you'd say that if it wasn't your money you were spending, but the bride has to pay every cent of that money.
strawberriesncandii my limit is 500$ because frankly its one day its not worth any more than that lol my limit for the whole wedding is 5000 to 6000 cant imagine spending that on just a dress
nah I'm getting married and having a party for £800 next year because only my closest friends and family will be there and i don't see the point of getting dressed up, I'm not even getting a dress, i cant afford a car I'm certainly not spending more than £50 on a dress. but we have been together 10 years and have a 5yr old and we never were bothered about marriage other than for legal reasons anyway so whatever floats your boat
I like how at Kleinfeld's they warn you beforehand if a dress is over budget. I feel like it's super shady that this shop doesn't tell the girl's that they're showing them a dream dress that's over her budget...
Aamina L that would have been very nice but they probably also have their own dresses to pay for which if you go by the average of around that amount. They look young and probably can't afford it.
They may all have to buy their own dress, shoes, bags etc for this wedding. And I remember when my cousins got married. It was like a domino affect tbh. As soon as one of them got married it seemed like everyone and their mom was getting married also (since they're all around the same age and age marker in life) so you never know. They may have to save for their own weddings, their own house. their new born, etc
In reality it's very difficult to just come up with money, and it's the bride's responsibility to buy her dress since the bridesmaids have to pay for their own. It's rude to ask others to pitch in, and the friends probably couldnt have afforded it anyway.
Sisilia S that's so true u always c on this show the give the bride a dress that is over her budget tho they know that they wanted a dress less cheaper n they also makes them fall in love with it that the end up taking it and going over their budget that's not right oh no!!!!!
As a former bridal consultant, I can actually tell you it’s not like that in the real world! They do it on tv for the drama, but I can guarantee 90% of real life salons would not show you anything over budget without asking permission from the bride first.
I feel like that's what she did because she didn't seem to me like the type who would compromise on the budget and she was an Accountant as Well so she knows the tricks
"It's only £148"? oh is that so? Well since it's nothing you can pay the 148 and give her the dress for 1500 like she very well specified was her budget!
She got that but what she meant was the host said its only 148? (as in the difference) If its such a small amount to go over for him he should pay the difference is what Phayvee meant :)
It’s a small amount compared to the overall budget, it can easily be adjusted...cut on flowers for example or on any extra stuff you care less about. A good accountant does not just respect limits, finds ways to achieve goals by changing allotments within the overall limit
Omg her body she is amazing!!! How rude was it to give her a dress over her budget right after she just mentioned how strict she was with it, how annoying and typical for commission
Brain Creepers That is a lie, US version has done it plenty and gone over by a thousand or more. And that doesn't even include the price of all their accessories.
Amrelle M can you link it? I've watched plenty and havent seen one unless a family member or the bride demands one thats over. this one i see them pull expensive ones without anyone prompting them too.
Amrelle M and to add to that I'm not the only one who's noticed this. without any permission asked or prompting they'll pull a dress over budget. the US one asks first if a consultant believes a brides dress needs some wiggle room. UK one doesn't and then tells them the price after the bride falls in love with the gown. it's rude.
Jade Beau seriously?? the bride in this one seemed seriously adamant on not going over her budget....the fact that they didn't respect that is painful. weddings are expensive already these people seem like they're trying to make a sell when they should be trying to help a bride find her perfect gown:/ what a bummer.
Bride: The MAXIMUM is £1500, I gave myself an extra £300 to play with just in case but really I'm shooting for £1200 or less. Dress Shop: ok so you want to pay a minimum of £1500 not a penny under got it.
I must admit I thought that as well. I think this is play acting for the camera. When I went to get my wedding dress, I didn’t ask the price at all! I wasn’t rich, I was in the army. I got to the counter to pay for it........then I went into shock, my dress was in the sale then I got my sisters third of the price off, my dress ended up less than my veil did lol the bridesmaid dresses were more than mine!!
Omg her gloomy reaction when her dream dress didn't make her feel butterflies in her stomach is so sad 🙁 But at least she found a dress,she looked really pretty in it 💟
She looked gorgeous in the dress, but my heart broke that she was pretty much peer-pressured into getting it. It wasn't her "dream dress", it took her awhile to talk herself into liking it, and then everyone started telling her she should get it. I hope she doesn't regret her decision...I think she should have kept looking at other options. There are millions of form-fitting dresses since it's so popular these days, I'm confident she could find one in her budget that she'd love.
Karma I don't think she acted like her wedding was ruined. She seemed more conflicted. She wants a good dress but doesn't want to go overboard because if she does that means other items in the wedding will have to be cut or even sacrificed. She was being realistic but at the same time she didn't want to say no and later regret it. If that makes sense.
Evelina Russo not when it comes to financial situations.. she’s an accountant, I’d be worried as her future husband if she had no control when it comes to money
CalLadyQED She went over-budget in the end, but not before mulling it over for like half the vid. If the dress cost just a tiny bit more, she almost certainly would’ve refused.
This is so unprofessional to put a bride into a dress that is over budget. And no, it's not just 150 it's just too much. I bought my dress this year and they asked for my budget INCLUDING alterations.
The bridal consultant fucked up big time by showing her a dress over the budget... shouldn't they have only given he dresses within her range? they did this on purpose for her to spend more... they should've given her a discount!! she said 1,500 stick to the budget!
OhheyitsSoumy I can't believe they wouldn't have just knocked the price down when it was very little compared to how much the dress total actually was, and they gave it to her knowing it was over her budget and put her under that stress.
Yeah exactly and they were acting like she was being prudent for a 140 something. Well they wouldn't discount it for 140 something so why the f should she be treated like she's cheap ??? fucks me off
OhheyitsSoumy it's required in the contract the brides sign that in order to be on the show they have to buy a dress over their budget. They're not surprised at all when it happens but act surprised for added "drama." Multiple brides who were on the show or were almost on the show admitted that it was a major requirement from the producers. You go on this show you don't have a choice and your budget doesn't matter anymore.
Tahmina Aktar Nope, they just get the fact that they were on the show. They even have to pay their own travel and hotel fees if the shop the show is filmed at is far away.
This is what makes me upset. How dare they put her in a position like that. I hate when they give brides dresses that are hundreds over their budget. Even if it’s just 148$... that can really hurt someone
This show should've catered to her budget and only should've shown her dresses up to her price limit. This show ALWAYS does this, i actually do not understand lol how can the guy can say its only £148 more when he could see how upset she was ffs.
I know, and then he says something about how she shouldn't stress out over 150 pounds...then why do YOU care about the 150? You apparently sell dresses way more that 1500 pounds all the time! blah
MissmonalisaD it's required by the show to go over budget unfortunately. Going on this show you know beforehand that your budget doesn't matter anymore once they start filming.
Really messed up how they gave her a dress that they knew she would love that is over her budget. I honestly think the salon should have knocked off the extra 150 it was their fault for going over the budget and 150 for a salon isn't that much
I compleatly agree, it is a horrible customer service to do such a thing. I dont care that he have dessigned for pompse freaking pecocks, it is a HORRIBLE thing to do, specially in such a exposed situation as on a tv-show.
I'm an accountant and if I liked a dress that blew my budget I would have recalculated all my wedding costs to include it before I left the fitting room.
I seriously would never go to this boutique, they always show dresses over budget instead of trying to find something in the budget!! It's awful. They have zero respect for the actual bride's situation. The other SYTTD shows do not do this.
What a crappy thing for the store to do. If anyone did that to me I'd have just walked out on principle. Find a store that actually *listens* to their customers instead of pulling shady stuff just to create drama. Now I remember why I stopped watching these shows.
I think that.. if you look at a dress in a model, is easy to get a false expectation of how is it going to fit you. Even through you're skinny or fat, it will not fit you as it fits a model because everyone has a different body, right? (I'm not saying that shes fat or skinny or something else)
I really don't like all the stress and pressure they've put on her. What if she really couldn't afford to go overbudget. Weddings are expensive enough with catering, venue, decoration and transportation costs, without factoring in the bride & groom's personal expenditure.
I would not accept not being allowed to browse and choose my own dresses to try on... this system of the consultant " doing the shopping" then coming in with 1 or 2 and saying " what do you think about this one"? Eeeeeeeee... no thanks.. l will choose my dress.
Am I the only one that was uncomfortable with how much the salon worker (the lady with black hair) is touching the bride? I hate when people touch/hold me like that!
Erm.. it's not about being gross or diseases. It is clear she is not touching her to check the fit, she just keeps her hands on her ( 3:03, 4:05, 4:14), not even on her dress but her arms and shoulders. I am not disgusted by people touching me for no reason. I just absolutely hate it :D
Hello: I work in the emergency department, I'm not scared of germs. I just hate hate hate the feeling of people touching me. It makes me viscerally uncomfortable and like I need to run away. I'm also a rape survivor, if that gives any context to my discomfort.
How do you know they purchase them bags themselves? What if they bought it a thrift shop? Or had the bag for many years? Don’t assume what’s in someone’s wallet. The poorest people be the best dressed.
I agree that it's really irritating when you're not told something you're looking at is over budget. I wish they would have shown her more dresses in her price range so she could have had more of an opportunity to make her decision. That being said, she is an accountant and they make good money and she's obviously very good with it or they wouldn't be having their wedding at such a stately home. £148 is not that much and you can take money from flowers and decorations to make up being over budget to have the dress you really want.
All the women on these shows try on a couple of dresses and then immediately make a decision! Bitch, when, or a big if I should say, I ever have to get a wedding dress I'll be trying dozens of dresses! I don't get how anyone can try on two dresses and be like "Yep, this is the one!" The second dress did look gorgeous on her though.
Cocoa Girl. I only tried on 1 dress when I got married and I knew immediately that absolutely nothing could beat it. I had no desire to bother to try others. Just the reaction from literally every other person in the store alone confirmed how I already felt. The other clients came to a halt and a huge gasp went up in the store. Why waste the salespeople's time when they could be waiting on others instead of wasting more time with me?
I was literally just sitting here fantasizing about walking into Kleinfeld's and trying on a dozen dresses before I got down to actually getting my dress... Pink dresses, sparkly dresses, ball gowns and mermaids, I WANT TO TRY THEM ALL! 😂😂😂
aaaannnnnddddd what have we learned from watching this??? Never, ever , shop here if you have a budget because they will never show you pretty dresses in your range ... many stores have a rule that you never show a customer a dress over budget cause is leads to lots of unhappy people and you get a very bad name... if you wanna go over shop there, if you never want to go over, stay away !!!
I'm trying to figure out why they wouldn't just offer her a 10% discount (150 so it'd be exactly in her budget). It's a negligible amount for the business to 'lose' and it eliminates a drama and makes for a happy customer
a hate the fact that they always do that! he's happy because she's spending more not because she's found her dress 😒 granted it's gorgeous on her but come on man! stick to the budget!
the bride can find another dress. It's not the only one in the world, it's just the second shown to her. Why would they spend their money on her wedding? I mean if there wasn't any other option, then it would be a good gift, but it clearly wasn't the case.
IrinNovy find another dress really??? U clearly never bought a wedding dress cause when u found " THE DRESS" you don't want any other one and it's just 45pounds extra per person, and it's a bit rude to say why they will spend money on her wedding I thought they are her good friends for the good and bad moments not just a word...
They always go over budget and then use the "But for the dress of your dreams.." trope. It's so unprofessional and disrespectful. Glad this bride didn't fall for it right away.
Bringing her a dress over budget on purpose is bad form inho. The US version does the same thing, and it offends me every single time it happens. Where did basic listening skills go?
It’s really difficult to choose a wedding dress. The second dress she fit, looks gorgeous and stunning on her. She had the right decision of saying YES to her dream wedding dress and her friends felt great about her decision.
I googled the price, it was about 198 dollars, if that would have been my friend I would have gave her the rest of the money. It's for her wedding and she shouldn't have to have second thoughts
I'm sorry but the Say Yes To The Dress UK consultants are very cunning and unprofessional when it comes to picking brides' dresses. They often disregard the bride's budget and go ahead picking overbudget options then encouraging them to 'let go' and go overboard.
I thought her three friends would pitch in 50 each. So surprised they didn't. I'm so glad she said yes. She's clever and will find ways to cut back a bit else where.
They seem to be close, lovely friends. I'm sure they would have split the remaining difference but, in my humble opinion, she does not really "need" the money. You don't sacrifice a dream over 140 pounds. It's more about her being in her head, her principles and her methodical, meticulous "Virgo" attitude. I'm quoting her friends. She's a control freak
Just bc someone says there's a budget Most people jump past that to get what they really want That's a sales tactic wherever you go They are in the business of making money The sales people work on commission
She looked absolutely beautiful in that dress. Yes sticking to a budget is very smart, and honestly there wasn't a wrong choice, but I think this is one of those few times in life where emotions weigh in as much as practicality. I'm glad she chose this dress, it really made her shine :)
why would her bridesmaids chip in? It's not their wedding. I don't understand why this dress was brought to her in the first place. It's hardly the only suitable dress in the shop.
I hate how they build up the brides confidence all the time, and then just ruin it all by saying it’s over the price range. Just tell her the price BEFORE she puts it on, I honestly just think that this is pathetic and selfish of them to do this just for money.🙄🤦♀️
That's probably why you're broke and she's an accountant... You don't get where she is in life by spending stupid amounts on stuff that isn't worth it.
Yes it is. It shows that the shop disregards it’s customers desires in favor of their commission and then has the gall to GUILT them into blowing their budget. I would get the size, design and designer of the dress, leave these dishonest price gouging assholes shop and buy the same dress online and keep my budget. It’s not about the £148 it’s about the business practices guilting people into overspending.
Typical sales person. I ALWAYS ask the price first. This kind of thing is rampant. Doesn’t matter if it’s a wedding dress a car a house. All they care about is their commission. To hell with your budget
As a wedding planner/bridal consultant for any bridal boutique no matter where it is to show a gown to a bride that is over budget blows my mind and it is seriously irritating that bridal boutiques do this. They know the budget when it's given and that means do not go over budget. Going over budget is seriously frowned upon. Ladies you want a great dress and have a budget let the boutique know that the budget is strict and make sure they know to not go over. I'm available to plan your wedding!
I hate how belittled the bride was treated when she didn't want to go over her budget. They really pushed her into believing that she'd have less of a wedding without an expensive dress.
