This entourage led by a cheapskate mum is crushing this bride's confidence to the point of her crying! Catch Say Yes to the Dress on TLC - Sky 133, Virgin 162, BT TV 323
Lori looks pissed. I can’t imagine running a business that you’re passionate about trying to make brides happy and they come in with their own family tearing them down. I’d be pissed too.
All down to jealousy. She has nasty people in her life. Yikes! I too had a very brutal 1st fitting and actually elected to go to subsequent fittings only with my husband. My culture is very direct but I truly believe that there is a line between being honest and abusive. That bride is beautiful inside and out. Happiness is the best revenge. I have advised dear friends to only bring people who lift them up and can actually bring constructive criticism no nasty people around!
It is always the people and the relationships that are hard to deal with, when we provide a service. I had a guy throwing coins (changes) at the wife after purchasing a cheap ring. She picked it all up. It hurts to watch sometimes
I would ban people like that from my shop if that were me Ain’t no reason to laugh like hyenas when you’re supposed to be there for your special someone, but instead this shit happens
Aww that’s so sweet. I’d rather not have a dress at all than my dad be there, but that’s just mine haha. He wanted me to match bright orange gloves with my dark black velvet dress one New Years lol
It's the brides day. F what anyone says. Her dress is a private decision as she's the only one in the "family" that's getting married and I hope her hubby took his wife far far away from them all.
My father was very helpful when I was torn between two dresses and went back for a second appointment. I had initially gone with just my Mother - I think having a big group risks more disagreements!
Exactly. I asked my dad how I looked right before he walked me down the aisle and he said my dress was too ostentatious. Luckily my then 8 year old son quickly told me I was beautiful. People need to think before speaking!
It's VERY difficult to build confidence, it can take months to even year's to build it, and at the same time it can take a QUICK 20 seconds to tear it down
@@twoxsl857 Outlawing disagreeing with the people who run the place... kinda sounds like something the Chinese regime would be inclined to do. Just saying.
There’s a significant difference between cheapskate and budgeted. You only have so much money, that doesn’t make you cheap. It makes you responsible. No one should go into debt for a wedding. The producers def manipulate the “theme” of each episode and the mothers frugality was the theme. I mean, she was tacky as hell, but blanket statements like yours are close-minded.
literally my mum bought her dress for £200 at store in town!! i don’t get why people that go on this show have such a strict budget and they’re more bothered about the price than how the bride feels
I’m not a fashionista but most of the dresses they showed her were not “hippie” looking. I was waiting for the light, flowy, boho dresses with bling/flower designs and the one she picked was the only one close to that ! Am I wrong?
I don't get why people are so angry. Surely she brought them to give their opinions too otherwise just shop alone. And if they hadn't said the dress wasn't nice then she would not have found the one she really did like. Sometimes you might feel beautiful but doesn't mean you actually look it, and you'd rather have friends and family tell you. Why so sensitive?
@@hamnaahmad3579 Because not everyone has the highest level of confidence. Yeah you bring your entourage knowing full well that they might not like everything that you like. But there's also something known as not having to be a bitch in giving comments to someone. Even a loved one. As Paige Mick put it ... POLITE. There's criticism, but there's also a way to make that criticism kind.

She was beautiful when she walked into the place. It’s not what you wear that dictates how you look, it’s your spirit. Her family certainly didn’t help her though. Shame on them.
I do not think they are idiots, they know and love her and want the best for her. And her relatives seem to know her and her dream very well because as soon as the bride was REALLY happy and contented they supported her to the full. It would have been the wrong favour to praise gowns which ill-fitted her and her vision, just to "be nice".
agnes15101968 they did not want what’s best for her, they wanted what’s best for their checkbooks. And no, they dont have to pretend to like the dresses however they need to respect that she is a beautiful adult woman who has her insecurities and they have to be respectful about that without putting the bride down. Remember it’s the dress they aren’t keen on, not the bride.
I’m actually so sad, she had a spark in her eye when she saw her figure in the second dress and her family tore her down. What’s even worse is that she said her body has been changing, that could’ve been her moment of accepting her new body and it was ruined
I thought she looked very beautiful and all of them. She has an hour glass figure. I think mom is just jealous that she'll never be young and pretty again. Most of the time in history and still in some places in the world being skinny is considered ugly. Because it means you're poor and can't afford food!
The bride: I want hippie, vintage, sheer, flowing, elegant Lori: What about a fit and flare with ruffles?! I really wish Auntie Gok had helped her out 😭
dang, who goes to a traditional gown salon for a vintage hippie dress? Shop a vintage store or a New Agey place with flowing dresses. That dress is nice, but not vintage or hippie. Hope she loves it on the day. And next time leave that hateful mother at home!

Marlene Meow she decided on this dress someone up in the comments linked her Facebook m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1483820433 and said that sadly some years ago her mom passed away
It is apparent that this family does not have much money since everyone is pitching in the pay for the dress. That financial situation has to be respected. You can't spend money you do not have. That being said, they could have been much kinder in their responses to the bride. As for a hippie style dress, she might have found something at a regular store, even among prom dresses, for much less. A flower tiara in her hair, a casual ceremony, and she would be just as beautiful.
Totally, the fact you can't/ are not willing to spend more has nothing to do with the love you have for the person of the importance the wedding has to you ! However, she could have been kinder with her comments either way.
they should not have went to the most expensive bridal store in america if they didnt want to spend any money lmao that budget was ridiculous for that store
I agree completely! There's no shame in having a tight budget, unlike what the bridal magazines and industry will tell you. Brides are being told that you can have a Megan Markle style grandiose wedding, or your wedding will suck. Completely untrue!
I wish more people would aim for more affordable weddings and save any money they have for a house or vehicle, something they need. Even this shop promotes way over spending on a dress you will only wear once. I support a bride feeling like a beauty queen on her wedding day, but the whole wedding industry has gotten out of control. These days, it's like if you don't spend at least ten grand on your wedding you're a broke loser and your marriage won't last, and we all know that has nothing to do with your loving relationship.
none of the dresses she tried on had the 'hippie goddess' feel. She obviously wanted something airier, with more sheer, maybe a bit shorter and more flowery. with more of a nature feel to it. but it's great that she loved the one she got in the end.
I think you're right, but I also think the sheer, flowy dresses were in fashion for the past couple of years, and this episode is probably quite old, so there might have been not that many of the dresses you describe in the store.
A Grecian goddess "toga" style dress came to my mind when she said "hippie vintage". I agree that none of the dresses looked like what she wanted but when they did that headband and veil...Bam...Hippie dippie!

I love it when Lori and Monte give the death stare. You know there’s a limit they can handle with a rude crowd. They want to make the brides happy and make it their personal mission to see each girl smile when they’re being beat down by comments. It’s also kinda of punishment for the rude crowd when Lori, Monte and the consultants jack the bride up in the dressing room instead of in front of everyone.
Her freaking mother and friends talk to her the way my mother and father would speak to me. Making fun of me and how I look in something I deeply loved wearing. They knocked her confidence down and made her feel ugly. I want to hug her... I understand...
That bride is beautiful. My family and friends make fun of me and how I look in a dress. They tell me that I’m fat, ugly, that I should lose a lot of weight. Because of that I am shamed of how I am overweight and that I don’t look beautiful in dresses
This is how it's supposed to go: "What do you think?" "I love it." "And what do YOU think family?" *"It might look nice with more beading but honey if this is what you want then go for it, you look fabulous."* I call it: Common decency

Ikr? It’s so sad seeing the mothers be like that. When I went to my dress trials, my mum was honest but without her honesty, I wouldn’t have the dress I have right now. However, my mum never laughed at me nor tore me down the way some of these “mothers” do
@@hannahsstressed8101 empire waist is one that starts right under breasts and drops. Imagine a gown that has loose flowing pieces of fabric that float to floor 😉
Me too, definitely the flowy type of dress! I see more plane flowy with maybe a few pearls & a few flowers 💐 here & there! But the dress she picked was nice & it looked great on her!
When somebody is showing their body, or anything of themselves that can not change or is personal, you should be cautious of your words. The way some of these families treat the brides is insane.
For her to say "I just wanna feel beautiful again" Im looking at this my heartbroke. All I'ma say is bride if you ever come across this your beautiful. very beautiful.
Yeah my mums always been good at tearing me down and not realising it. When I was a size 8 she'd pick out size 14s for me and all sorts. Always beware never to tell my parents was my motto from early and at 35 I'm the same but with shattered confidence and self belief and abuse myself.
I hate it when the entourage makes the bride cry. This is one of the biggest days for a woman in many cultures. The only tears should be tears of happiness
it’s even worse when one person in the entourage tries to take over the show. Like the one lady who was trying to try on wedding dresses while it was her sister who was getting married😳 omlord
She doesn’t need a dress to make her look beautiful. She was already beautiful when the intro started playing. I hope that someday the world will be kinder to people who might not feel comfortable in their own bodies.
The second dress is something I personally would never wear but it looked cute on the bride. Her family had no right to put her down like that. It's unbelievable that the people that should encourage her and make her feel special are so toxic.
Whoever ends up paying the bill for the item should have a word in its conception. This rule should be applicable to both wedding dresses and reproduction.
@@epaminon6196 literally what, the bride is the one whos getting married and walking down the aisle with that dress on, if she loves it then no one should say a thing. and the reproduction thing im not even saying smth thats just weird....
@@ennuisolar If the bride is lucky enough to have someone else pay for her once-in-a-lifetime garb, then that should be happiness enough for her. And if a man can't refuse a parenthood he can't or doesn't want to pay for, like a woman can, than that's wrong as well.
She is ready to pay $500. That is NOT cheap! It is difficult to find sth in that shop, but for the price, one can find really nice dresses somewhere else. If the bride wants sth more expensive, she should pay for it.
@@rebeccapirato780 They did, knowing that she will be willing to pay $500. That means that the others are willing to pay the rest. Why else go there otherwise? Since when do parents HAVE to pay for expensive dresses?
“Cheap?” These dresses are EXPENSIVE. 500+ dollars for dresses that start around 1,500 and go up?? Definitely not cheap. I agree it was their choice to go there, but nothing cheap about spending 500+ dollars 😂
When the brides on this show fall in love with the dress and starts smiling and crying at the same time...that is what I come back to this channel for everyday. Lori is actually doing a great job, bringing all these beautiful girls all that happiness. If Lori gets even 20% of the happiness she's given brides...she'd be happy forever 😊
Reads the title and thinks........ "huh...not surprised" and rolls eyes Edit: omg what a cruel family...... in the words of Chandler Bing, ''they could have shot her instead''
@@michellewhittington4176 If you were to translate my message into a wish, I think it would be for a new mother, not no mother. Guess it still works out to her advantage 🤷
Greetings from the crown prince of Dubai as you can see I don't use to chat you're always I prefer hangout application if you don't mind send me your email so I add you
$500 is easily enough money to get a good-looking Tuxedo, made in Mexico. Add in some adjustments and the groom is good to go. It shouldn't be that different for the bride, right?
How can those people not feel horrible watching her stand there and cry like that? She’s a complete stranger to me and I was in tears! There’s not an empathetic bone in one of their bodies. And that mom is just horrific
Her mother doesn't even care about the bride's feelings, she keeps going on and on about the price that she isn't even entirely paying. Her auntie is even worse, how could you ever hurt your niece's confidence like that on what is supposed to be her special day and not even caring??? And the others are laughing too?? I'm glad she's getting married and she will not stay with them anymore, they are all toxic asf
“I really didn’t think I could be beautiful like that again”. Brought tears to my eyes, no one should ever not feel beautiful. Especially based on what other think. She looked gorgeous ❤
When she started crying that broke my heart she is such a gorgeous girl. Its really sucks to see someone so beautiful but they don't see that beauty it them self. I'm so happy to hear at the end she feels confident in her dress.
@@TK-ij2xi Same here, but I went totally by myself to try on my dress. That was 23 years ago and I'm still married to the same man. My mother was so mean to me on the morning of my wedding day, she told me my make-up looked like a cheap tart. 🙄 It didn't, but she always picked faults with me growing up and was always negative when the spotlight was on other people and not her.
@@TK-ij2xi I agree and I think I heard that the shows producers tell certain people who are there with the bride to be mean to make it more "interesting" to watch to make ratings high or something like that which is so messed up:(
@@kerrystone7375 My mom too - on the day of the wedding she complained about her menopause the entire day & had the task of watching our son & just left him. We trusted her & the 1 yr old was screaming because he was scared - sorry, long story. Mine was a covert narcissist & I actually had to walk away from the relationship.
@@TK-ij2xi Oh that's terrible, but I can so relate to your story. I haven't spoken to my mother for 13 years because of the way she treats me and my husband and kids. It's sad but it was a decision I had to make as it was too toxic. I'm nearly 50 and it's taken me years to realise I don't have to put up with narcissistic family members anymore.
I really get very frustrated when a mother speaks like this to her daughter. When she's getting married your daughter needs your support and not your taunts.
I love how the owner and sales lady take a bad situation and turn it around so that everybody is happy and the bride find’s address that is perfect for her.
The second one wasn't my style, but her figure looked great in it. I understand if nobody likes the dress, but I was surprised nobody mentioned it (although it's possible they did,and they just edited it out for drama purposes).
@@t.matthies3049 I agree and I really think it's what her family members were getting at too. The cut was great, but that weird layered skirt was definitely not my thing either.
A woman feels stressed at this stage especially if she already has insecurities.. I just don't understand how can family members say such rude comments instead of supporting her !!

I was a bridesmaid at my brother's wedding - she had her dress picked out, and the bridesmaids - royal blue - no quibbling, squabbling - and no other family included to mess things up with any negativity. It was perfect1
Aww!! Lori she is always sweet and mercifully, that was lovely that she "Jack up" that young lady, she made her feel loved and beautiful. God bless 🙏✝️
Many people want to be involved with the planning of a wedding. But not necessarily so that they can be helpful. Choose WISELY, Brides!!! You already *know* which people in your family/friends circle will be a negative nancy. Don't let them spoil what should be a beautiful and memorable experience. Love YOU enough to leave Them at home! Edit to say: It is crucial that you *save your money for your own wedding accouterments!!* If you diligently save for your wedding, then no one can hold your dreams hostage because they are paying. 🤗💖💯

I feel that Mother dear tends to accentuate the negative with every word she speaks. To be honest if I was going for a hippie wedding, I'd wanna shop vintage. Hippie wedding dresses were often thrifted from the Victorian/Edwardian era to the 1920s. Granny dresses. I see she has a lovely shape
"I just want to be beautiful again" MY HEART oh no!!!! You never lost your beauty in the first place, your family lost theirs! Beautiful beautiful bride!
I hired my dress, i was about to ask the price and discuss it with my man before choosing, and my mum surprised me by paying 2000 for it, bless her! And yes it was the first dress i tried on.
