Fire-Breather Bride Wants A Dress That WON'T BURN While She Performs | Say Yes To The Dress 

Makes sense honestly

Consignment shops in high end communities would be a great option.

@@HeronCoyote1234 Exactly. Imagine having the money most brides spend on a wedding dress- they could even buy a brand new designer gown that would be stunning, and maybe still be cheaper than a wedding dress that we have all seen over and over.

@@HeronCoyote1234 My daughter and daughter - in- law got BEAUTIFUL dresses at Goodwill.

Shit you can even get some crazy beautiful colored dresses at David’s Bridal, I got my prom dress there years ago, it’s crazy colors & animal prints in a Ashaped tule ballgown style, with slight cross ruched bodice & a jewel detail on the hip, it was like $250, I lived my cool, colorful princess moment… sucks my prom was shit though, atleast my dress was nice.

Or even a designer who can sit down with her 1 on 1 & create her dress. Idky she expected to get a list of wants into one dress especially one that’s already made & on sale at a store that only has the bare minimum out & is beyond packed wanting to get people in & out so you won’t get the time you’re needing.

Exactly. Costumes stores would fit perfectly for an entertainment event. I love Randy so much. He’s great at everything he does. 🤍🤍🤍

I totally agree, I think what she needs is not in a bridal shop, none of the white dresses looked right...she should get something custom made that has all the reds and golds that would suit her beautiful figure and fire theme!

she could also get a white dress an off color and dye it possibly

Bridal shops are notorious for not giving a lot of time (usually 1 hour per apt). I'm a bridal Stylist and unless you book a double on a busy day there's only so much I can do (especially at an expensive boutique).

There's a bridal shop in my home time which only has black, gold, red, deep purple dresses. Not a single white dress in sight. Their prices are enough to blind you yet if you consign a dress you are placed on a waiting list.

@@adnel4142 That's really cool

There have been plenty of bride dresses on the show that have color

@@bees1550 exactly

@@bees1550 But they usually say that they have very few colored dresses in their collection.

Try that same margine and higher for food, medicine and most everything else. NWO greed.

He really wanted it sold too! Probably because nobody will buy it for $21K 🤣

I think that thing she said about the sequins getting stuck had something to do with it lol 21k for it to possibly rip and all I did was put it on and walk lol I’m not doing that 😂😂 a lot of people probably had that thought trying it on

It looks like there have already been some tears in the lace from the looks of things. That’s probably why they’ve marked it down so much, and its probably a few seasons old.

Yeah thats insane!!

That’s awesome, a lot more people should get custom dresses

Absolutely!

Yes mam! 100%

@@neoandroid8586 that's really cool

Right?! Perfect candidate for a custom dress! I dream of someday having an alternative bride who wants something crazy amazing walk into my shop!

I never understand why these brides with smaller budgets and super-specific tastes don't just get something custom made. There is a TON of mark-up on salon gowns, from the shop overhead to the designer's label, you can get some crazy dresses for really cheap if you just go to a seamstress and commission one.

True. But then she misses out the potential of being on telly.....

Hello...

Randy is truly a gem on this show - if everything else is fake (not saying it is or all of it is, but WHATEVER IS)- Randy is the realness of the show that we all stick around for.

Thank you! You could hardly find a more flammable garment than a highly-embellished wedding/evening gown!

That is what I am thinking. This sounds like a custom job since fire breathing wedding is pretty niche.

@@zombiedoggie2732 Funny enough, when she mentioned it and was looking for the dress, I got the image of it happening perfectly for her. But I'm crap at designing and sewing, so I can't be useful. But someone out there is and I hope they meet.

@@redlupo6193 If her faux dreadlocks are made from synthetic fibres the dress might not be the first problem she could face... I'm a former fire performer, too, and her plans are totally gaga. Do your wedding in a wedding gown, then change into a safe fire costume and have your burning fiery mock wedding after. Or go completely costumey and go for an infernal wedding theme, but you won't find a dress for that in a bridal store.

I am a fire performer and was shocked at how unsafe her plans are. You must wear natural materials (cotton, silk, leather) when performing with fire. In case of an accident, synthetic materials will melt to your skin causing terrible injury and higher chance of infection. All of the dresses she tried on were synthetic material. Those dreadlocks look like they might be synthetic too. If she wants to perform in her wedding gown, she should either find one made out of silk or have a silk/leather base layer with removable synthetic layers (like at tulle skirt, etc.) when she performs.

That’s what I was thinking.

I could not shop in those circumstances either. I could not function in a crowd where people were pushing each other and grabbing merchandise out of each other hands and running others over in an attempt to get some item they just HAVE to own. For this reason, I have NEVER attended a Black Friday sale, nor have I ever shopped the day or even the week before Christmas. That's actually not quite true. I HAVE shopped a Black Friday sale, but it was on-line!

Her hair was damn ugly🫣

When did bespoke replace custom?.

@@jadzia9445 Bespoke means an original design made entirely from scratch, where as custom just means something is able to be customised to specific preferences. So bespoke gowns are a type of custom dress, but the umbrella of custom dresses also covers ones like a pre-made dress that has different sleeve options, as well as dresses that are made-to-order and made-to-measure.

To me customized is off the rack or shelf and altered, custom is a new creation. Bespoke is just some newfangled word in the genre of woke. Just my opinion

@@jadzia9445 lol...this isn't some made-up "woke" pc police thing, it's standard industry-specific terminology.

@@ariadne0w1 I never heard the word bespoke until the last year or so

It was stunning and the veil too- what a deal!!!!!

@@kaycee5129 yeah❤️

I know dresses are expensive but $699 does not sound like a discount considering you can get custom made dresses for 3-4 hundred

@@corythefirst9296 considering it was $4,000 it was a pretty big discount though

@@corythefirst9296 Custom doesn't always work out, especially if you're buying from some random person from China on Ebay. You're taking a big risk.

Probably edited.

@@MsAngelique Maybe, but I didn't get that impression as they kept bringing her white dresses lol.

@@KE-hr4sb they tend to do this. Even with the number of brides who want colors going up and up and up they still rarely have anything. Even in black! SOOOOO many brides nowadays are wanting black gowns and it seems like there are only 2 options in bridal for them

@@KE-hr4sb there aren't exactly a lot of colors at a bridal salon outside white and rose. black if you're lucky.

@@ggmrgameanddraw I've seen them manage to find black dresses, blue dresses, red dresses, blush pink dresses, gold dresses, and silver dresses. One time even a black leather corset.

LMAO right?!

$699 is even a ripoff for a garment, imo.

Except keep in mind that these are not brand new dresses and they can't be specifically ordered for the bride. You take them AS IS and they're old designs from past seasons.

@@AA-wc3tw It depends on what you want. If you want a ball gown with lots of beading, it's going to be expensive even if you buy it used. Heck, that can actually be said for any style with lots of beading. Beading is $$$$$ You're not going to find one in pristine condition in your exact size in a thrift store for $20. If, however, you don't mind something much simpler with no beading, like a regular white dress, something you would wear out to dinner, then you can get away with spending a few hundred dollars at most, more likely less than $100 if you don't mind shopping at a place like H&M or Forever21, but it's going to be nowhere close to bridal, of course. You're going to look like you're going to Applebee's for dinner.

Well that is Not true. They sell bridesmaids dresses at bridal shops and they come in all sorts of colours and bridal gowns often come in gold and pinks too.

@@MrsSlocombesPuddyCat not to mention they usually sell prom/graduation dresses as well that come in any color you can think of…my friend wore a beautiful black and white gown to graduation that was actually marketed as a wedding dress 🤷🏻‍♀️

​@@MrsSlocombesPuddyCat Yes they do. But when your requirements are very specific and budget is restricted it's hard your dress at a hectic sale when the selections are limited and the consultants can't give you much of their time

Grammar; should have GONE to a costume shop.

A $21,000 dress marked down to $3,600!!! And she couldn't find a reason to buy it?

@@cornishmaid9138 whoops

@@cornishmaid9138 lol

@@cornishmaid9138 rude

I was thinking the same thing… she’s very sweet and I understand wanting to have something different but she needs to shop somewhere else or custom make a dress.

@@gabiencina4053 Yeah. I'm planning on having dresses that are basically historical reproductions. Undies and all. There's NO way Kleinfeld's or Bridals By Lori or Confetti and Lace or any other basic store can have a historically accurate 12th century Frankish/English noblewoman dress with appropriate side spiral lacing and the like. So I understand wanting a custom and interesting dress. But you won't get it in basic stores. And yes even the expensive ones are basic.

Not only that, but she goes during a sale. You don't have a ton of options on a sale

most bridal stores now sell uncongenial colors there's just not as many.

She’s pretty stupid. Going to a traditional dress shop for something unconventional?

Or we can just let people wear whatever they want, Right sweetheart?

@@blueotan True. But isn't she the one that kept referring to her act? It's been awhile since I watched it. Girl can wear what she wants of course. I was giving my opinion that the second dress seemed more like what she was asking for. But you're right. It's her wedding have at it!

Hello...

That's exactly what happened to my oldest daughter when she went shopping for the gown for her first wedding. She found a dress in a bride magazine that she swore was "the dress". She called around & found a bridal salon in the area that had the dress. She went to try it on & was completely underwhelmed. She said when she got it on it felt & looked more like a prom dress rather than a bridal gown. She ended up trying 3 more gowns on that looked different & ended up buying one off the sales rack that cost $99. She got the gown, veil & shoes for $250 total. This was back in 2007 but that was still a bargain even for 15 yrs ago.

So true! Also, when they say "I want something unique," and they end up with a strapless number with a sweetheart neckline and A line skirt.....

@@FlagCutie I hate sweetheart necklines so much now.

@@MsAngelique I don't so much hate them, but yeah, they have lost their appeal on me lol

I saw a picture of a wedding dress and fell in love with it. A year later I got to try it on and loved it even more. Getting married in it in August :)

Agreed. Any one of those dresses the fire performer tried would either go up in flames or melt against skin. But she tried... I do endorse her getting one made with ALL the look she wants and ALL the fire precautions taken that are recommended in your response. It only takes one time and the burn unit and future hospitalizations the rest of her life will be her destiny (if she lives.)

Exactly the same here except it was 39 years ago. Felt like a princess! Cost $350.

Um, you two do realize that 30 years ago were in the 90s, right? lol Yeah, no duh, prices were cheap over THIRTY YEARS AGO, Grandmas, lol.

Oh, get a life. It's a TV show, not Harvard and a last death throw for a career.

Well, you know they had to have cast her to make things interesting and “wacky.”

Part of the marketing strategy. No slot was stolen from any of yhe other brides cause this was planned.

everyone is on tv to be on tv though, and they intentionally choose whacky people sometimes

I mean to be fair....everyone on any of these types of shows want their 15 minutes of fame, otherwise, they would do their shopping privately instead of national TV, especially because you do not get compensated in any way. You pay for everything and you have to have the time to do all the filming.

Yeah, and at the same time it shouldn't be that hard for the shop to find dresses with color accents. My dress had a black sash that went around the neckline, down the corset back and flared out around the train and it was only $900.

Actually no. 99% of their dresses are in shades of white and pinker colors. The more colorful ones are rare and more expensive. Anything that could close would be in the bridesmaids dept but none of them would be particularly grand enough to be called a wedding dress.

When you are buying at a sample sale you are probably not going to be able to be too particular.

Or she should have looked in the bride's maid section.

I agree i Loved this episode😍

You're fortunate to have access to someone's backyard, and the help of friends and family. Not everyone has that. What would you have done if you didn't have that or anyone's help? Not everyone is that lucky, hon. I have literally no one and you're bragging you got a cheap wedding. Yeah, no duh you can have a cheap wedding if you have a large family who does and provides everything for you for free, lol.

@thehungrygoldfish I mean, my plan was to just get the paperwork done at the courthouse with no dress or flowers, but there were others in my family that desired more than that so I gave in. But, you're right, I am lucky to have a wonderful family that loves me and bought me a 30$ dress and put some extra flowers in their yard for a small ceremony. I know that I am lucky to be loved, and I am very grateful for it. I'm also sorry if you are not in a position at this time to feel loved and supported, or in a financial situation to afford the type of wedding that you would like, even a cheap one. And I sincerely hope that the things you are seeking will find you sooner rather than later, and that you will feel happiness and contentment. Until then, remember that other poor people are not your enemy. And consumerism is nobody's friend

I agree

If flammability is not an issue the fact this was a sample sale would have prevented her from having a lot of color choices.

Hello...

Hello...

I have a feeling my brother would fire spin and eat at his ceremony lol

@@rudeminnesotan he sounds like an absolute legend!

I agree that dress looked lovely on her.

I wonder if anyone had a whistle with them. 😉

Hello...

Hello

You too

You too dear

in the old days yes, but Chinese brides been wearing white since early 20th century... they have an option to wear red dress on their engagement party or bethrotal ceremony though (hosted by the bride's parents, and it's a huge thing still)

You can get beautiful Indian dresses in red and gold

Kleinfeld aren't really about colour, she came to the wrong place. I wonder what she ended up wearing

her hair says that she is comfortable with who she is and isn’t afraid

You’d have to try it on though. So many dresses don’t suit people once they try them on

That's not the wisest route. What if it's itchy? What if it doesn't suit the body shape? What if it's too big or small to be altered right?

why would you but a dress that costs hundrends of dollars without even knowing if it would fit (style, size, color...)?? it could look awful on your body and you would be stuck with it. possibly it could be altered but it would cost even more
