Elesia wants her mother to love her wedding dress as much as she does, but when their opinions differ on what colour the dress should be the appointment takes a sour turn. Catch Say Yes to the Dress on TLC - Sky 133, Virgin 162, BT TV 323
I don't get it. Ivory, cream, off-white are all different shades of white as far as I'm concerned. And hardly anybody looks good in super bright pure white.
babablacksheepdog noooo cream can look very different. I have pale-ish skin and I cannot wear cream because it looks awful and my mum always told me that. But white looks nice on me
Actually no trust me in the right lighting you can see a big difference and when you have a wedding the lighting is everything in artificial light some dresses looks amazing but in natural light it look so ugly .
I think she is a single mom..and raised her child right.. fact that bride dint want her mom to shell out extra money just for the colour speaks volumes about her!..my heart just broke when mom said she is all I got!..what a strong woman...god bless your family!!
I thought the same thing about the daughter not wanting to make her mom pay more just for a white that's already a shade away from another white. I also thought the mom's dress for her daughter was perfect.
If I were in the same position, I would say the same. I would not pay $1000 extra to buy a dress that theoretically is in a different shade of color but actually nobody can tell the difference.
Dark skin looks good in any colour the contrast of White is amazing against black skin. It's pale people that need to watch what colours they wear because it's very easy for them to look washed out
@@thehoneyeffect whats your opinion on pale red head with freckles, i was gonna go for a Champaign colour but i just don't know. Sorry for picking your brains, i just feel a stranger will be honest and i have zero sense of style.
If my mother EVER argues with me about off white and white, I'm going to explain to her the subtle difference between being inside and outside the church.
Yass!! Haha. Sorry mom that you missed your chance, but now it is hers. And it is not every mom's dream to pick the dress. Not sure where she got that from. Hope she doesn't keep trying to pick everything after the marriage
you'd notice it more if you put the dresses beside each other,there is a very slight difference between them. The pure whites shine more and also really part themselves from the rest of the body while cream kinda melts together with your skin.From what I've seen cream looks really weird with some skin colours though and pure white sometimes stands out a bit too much .personally I like ivory because it looks like white with a gentle shade on it.
My partner is red/green colour blind and he can tell the difference in colours but he thinks peanut butter is green not brown But who fucking knows what green is to him 😂😂
@@frickbro I'm yellow/green colorblind (whatever that means). I'm a hockey goalkeeper so the ball looks the same colour as the pitch to me so I'm trying to work out where the invisible ball is and saving flying spheres of Astro turf. At least that's what it looks like to me.
Gwyneth Murphy forealll like in India they wear red and all sorts of colors a white dress was meant to be a symbol of purity and virginity so... basically has no meaning today lolz I wanna wear green lmfao
My dress was emerald green. When an aunt of the (catholic) groom asked me why I hadn't chosen a traditional white I told her I was traditional. I had lost my right on white years ago. No one asked anything anymore. I just don't care what others think. I loved my dress, no matter what others think. Not even my mother.
Well, wedding dresses are something you wear in a very specific occasion, and organizing and living a wedding is very stressful, especially if there are some problems that have yet to be resolved. And Clothes and how we look in them can have a very strong impact, so it's no surprise that these consultants need to be emotionally supportive
For those wondering, these shades of white are determined by undertone. "Pure white" doesn't have a detectable undertone. Ivory has a slight yellow undertone, and because this particular pride has a darker complexion with what looks like an orange/pink undertone, the ivory gowns are hard to discern from white gowns.
Bridal enough? A woman who is getting married to someone she loves in a dress she loves...that alone makes a bride. People are way too caught up in the non important parts.
@@popolin8614 has a hard time letting her go but says insta yes when they ask if she wants to pay for a dress a bunch more if it's white. I dunno.. it did seem like it was a lot about the colour for some reason. I don't know what her moms deal was that she wanted to make a 100% sure it's white but I agree with Jamie on this one. While the dress is a part of a wedding,the wedding and what it stands for is all about the 2 getting married and wanting to celebrate that they're not going to be parted by anything other than death anymore.
Mom never married, all she did was raise this kid. She really is all she got. I've never known a mom, having her as a mother is really a blessing. Congratulations and love from across the globe.
Finally! A bride that doesn't want to go over budget just to get what she wants and is respectful of her mother's wallet/choices. Great job mom raising your daughter right!
I get the whole not going over budget thing, but at the end of the day it's HER wedding, not her mother's. If she doesn't want to wear white that's her decision. That doesn't mean she's disrespectful and wasn't raised right🤦🏾♀️
nothing wrong with taking the opinions of others into consideration, but its so ridiculous that even the one the mom loved when she found out it was ivory not white, and also its the CHILD'S wedding not the MOTHERS wedding....
@@android17lover a lot of these responders have under lying mom issues, acting like its the mothers day. Her wedding is the one day IT IS all about the daughter.
Lovely daughter. Dont worry mama, you will gain a son in law and hopefully wonderful grandchildren. You'll have alot of things. And your daughter adores you. Dont worry. So many good things will come back to you.
The mother did a great job. Teaching her little girl the importance of discipline by giving her the opportunity to do musical instruments and sports is really good for children and teenagers.
I was told by a bridal consultant that finding white samples in store is near impossible bc it's just not that popular anymore. I get the symbolic significance of white, but what matters most is that the bride feels beautiful and bridal and that's not always in a color. She's a beautiful bride with a beautiful heart! All the best to her!
April Dannette Gosa I don’t understand this comment. I always wear white because compared to white I look tan when I’m actually pale as fuck. I just can’t wear dark colors without looking like a corpse. But I see this comment a lot so there must be some truth to it, it might be a difference in undertones maybe?
@@breebree218 must be undertones. I have blonde hair and pale skin; and if I wear white, I look like I just got over some serious illness. My wedding gown was a soft white- not quite ivory, but not bright white. Much better. 😊
Bless her mom's heart. She's obviously strong lady with soft heart when it comes to her baby girl and she just wants the best for her. She did do a good job with her daughter, she seems to be well brought up, nice, lovely girl. Wishing them all the best. Life is not easy for single parent and this lady had to put tough front in order to make sure both her and her child will be all right. Well done. Stay safe and be happy.
It's annoying to be honest. Too clingy and the mom lords over every aspect of her daughter's life. That's not healthy. I have a very close relationship with my daughter and I respect her decisions in life; I don't push my way in and make them for her.
Hilary C the only thing annoying is how anyone can find anything bad to say about this episode. Obviously the daughter loved her mom and her relationship with her mom. And in the end the mom let the daughter have the dress she wanted. People don’t understand the concept of family anymore. The mom wasn’t doing anything wrong. If you want to be different that’s on you, but there was nothing unhealthy about this. People just like to invent issues where there are none.
@@holyghostfire238 Says the enabler. You don't raise strong, self reliant women by dominating your children. You support, you have their back, but you let them make their own decisions without impressing YOUR needs upon them.
Sweetest episode till date no spoil child or no controlling parent or siblings no drama just pure sweetness between a mom n her daughter i love this episode
Aww mama! I’ve been In Your shoes. ❤️❤️. It Was just me and her. Guess what? The best is yet to come now it’s me and two grandsons and a granddaughter! Life will get fuller than you ever imagined!
I got a little teary-eyed watching this episode. I have 3 daughters and it is tough to see them as young women and having to let them go, but at the same time I was excited for them to start that new chapter in their lives. This bride looked beautiful in her pick and her mom is wonderful.
As a person that draws The ivory and a normal white are VERY SIMILAR the mom didn’t know it was ivory until told. I’m sure no one would notice My point is, white and the light ivory ARE VERY SIMILAR SO IT REALLY DOSENT MATTER
What an absolutely amazing mum....as a single parent brought her up to be amazing and educated and respectful (love how she didn't want to spend extra) and also the mum is able to let her go and do her thing too. Love her
Black wedding dress not bridal enough: I see where you are coming from Red wedding dress not being bridal enough: I see where you are going with this Off-white wedding dress not being bridal enough: IT IS THE SAME THING
@@katm2538 probably not I dont recognize her, heck she's been teaching for years she was even even my mom's math teacher. And let me tell u, u either fear the women or u love her, there's no in between
The whitest of whites doesnt really look good.. especially on photos. Off white, Ivory, light nude and champagne gowns look really beautiful and elegant and on the wedding day itself, people wont really be able to tell it isn’t the whitest white. Love this mother and daughter though ❤️ glad she got the dress she really wanted. It is stunning
For my wedding, I would definitely want to wear a royal purple or emerald green dress. I like exciting colors, especially since it's (hopefully) a one-time occasion. I don't see myself wearing a white dress.
If you wear your dress with confidence people will love it. My dress was designed just for me, nobody with me. I paid for it myself. Even my shoes where in exactly the same color. My mother and grandmother saw my dress on the day I got married. They were a bit wide eyed when it came out of the bag. As soon as I wore it they loved it. My mother did my hair with a ribbon from the same fabric of me dress. She was very happy to do that for me. My grandmother painted my nails with her nailpolish. That's the way they contributed to my wedding. You do you Cindy. Whatever color you want.
As a mom my main concern is my daughter being happy and loving the dress she is in. The color of the dress does not dictate the purity of the bride her face and tears when she got jacked up was beautiful
Beautiful young woman who was so fortunate to have such a momma. Now that is one strong, smart and sassy lady who loves her child above anything and anyone. You haven't lost her mom.
I get it, her mom takes pride in the fact that she has raised a wonderful daughter and had a hand in so many of her daughters triumphs along the way but weddings are the time where you allow your child to enter into a new chapter of their life where they can choose the things surrounding it to send them off with an ideal start of their own vision. Tradition has it that parents pay from the brides side, and while yes you don’t want a bridezilla on your hands, you want them to have control of a day that sets off the rest of their life.
"I'll do anything for her", except let her choose her own dress and I'll lord over every aspect of her life. SMH. I've run into moms like that before and they step over boundaries in their kid's marriages, parenting. Some husbands even walked out. Good luck.
It's called being over protective of your INNOCENT child the bride mom and grooms mothers are friends... And what parent doesn't butt into a marriage you sound so negative. Plus look at her she came out good for someone lording over her.
@@veeli626 She's a grown woman, not a child. A lot of parents do not butt into a marriage. She's a very nice girl, but she's living in constant worry over upsetting mom. That shadow hung over the whole episode. My daughter got the wedding dress SHE wanted, I never butted into their marriage because that is her business. You have to let adult children be adults and stand by to catch them when they fall, or guide them when they come to you. I'm not negative at all, but I respect young people enough to let them learn how to be adults and learning how to be adults is allowing them to make their own mistakes. Overprotection is not healthy; being a helicopter parent is not healthy. Maybe if parents let their kids make mistakes sometimes, we'd have stronger adults.
@@shalombereshiyth And she put her daughter through all of that nonsense before she did it. Buying a wedding gown should be a special outing for a mom and daughter; a memory to cherish. This was anything but.
@@shalombereshiyth She didn't do it because she genuinely wanted to though, and she tried really hard to get her way about something that should be the brides choice and the brides choice only. The only issue is that it didn't work out like she thought it would and she eventually conceded and did what she should have done in the first place.
This mom is actually a delight to have. She’s worried about losing her only child, so I understand why she’s trying to make one last decision for her daughter before her daughter goes off on her own.
