Bride Emily Noctor wants a golden wedding gown to match the golden bridesmaids dresses, but what will her opinionated mother think? Catch Say Yes to the Dress on TLC - Sky 133, Virgin 162, BT TV 323
@@irisdevine Straightened curly hair looks completely different. This is a girl who definitely has curly hair but hasn't realized it yet. Many people start off having straight, then wavy, then curly.
@@seagatie I went the opposite. Had extremely curly hair up until I was four, then they fell out and were replaced by waves. My hair will still be curly after I get out of the shower though
keep in mind, the dress is probably about 2-3 sizes too small. It's not going to fit perfectly at the fitting unless she happened to be that dress size. AFTER alterations, you would see how beautiful it fit her body. there's a reason it takes 6 months or longer to get a dress fitted correctly.
I don't enjoy the belly grabbing styles on pronounced bellies. A fit and flair could have been elegant. But her sun dress was also a tummy grabber, so good for her and her self confidence.
I think the veil completes the look, in some cases. I feel like some people can't see a dress as being bridal until they see a completed look. Some look great without it. I guess its just something you have to actually experience to understand.
@@fidelianerina Yes, exactly. I think mothers, in particular, have trouble seeing their daughters as an actual bride until they have a veil on. It's a lot like people looking at a picture and saying, "Hmm. I dunno...." Then when they see it framed, it suddenly works for them.
I think the major issue is- her shape vs the dress design.... Mermaid cut does not suit her. A ball gown design , puffy from the waist would have been best.
Both wrong. A ball gown with her overall size, much like my own a ball gown would make her look like one round puffy ball. The last dress was the best for her shape
She can wear whatever she wants ..its doesn't matter if its jot the best on her ..its not about that ..its about how the dress makes her feel and if she's confident ...then hey
@@haileythompson1540 Of course she can wear whatever she wants. Doesn't take away from the fact that the first dress looks awful - in my opinion. For example, I love my close friends but when they ask for my honest opinion (as much as I'm all for body positivity ) it's best to wear what compliments you, and I'll tell them just that. To me, being the best you can be and feeling good about yourself is being able to show off or possibly enhance what you're already blessed with. She's doing herself an injustice with those style dresses. Just my opinion.
@Kir By I am bigger but not shaped like that. Her issue is not her size but her body shape.......she is trying on dresses fitted from her bust to her hips... fitted up to her waist and then puffy would be better on her. It's just my opinion ..
sorry, but I desagree. You don't have to loose your voice, choice or opinion to honor someone, like the mother. There are many other ways to honor the parents, but neeeever upon what it makes a person happy and content. That is to give power to a second person.
I love what the mother said at the end of the video: "Whatever she's gonna wear, she's gonna look special. But she's gonna look extra special in this dress because she loves it." You can tell how much she loves her daughter from that statement alone.
@@jenniferblane7550 She's fine as she is. Her guy doesn't mind. Most people are never going to be a size 2. I starved until I was 117 pounds. My guy friends said (and I quote) "you look like sh*t." And I STILL didn't have THAT perfect type of body. Too short waist. Please see Shallow Hal and look at people for who they are inside. Not just what they look like. She knows what size she is. It's not easy to get down to that skinny size. It's not your value as a person, btw.
A fit and flare or an A-line could work or they could supply her a size up when ordering the dress. Wedding dresses tend to be a bit smaller and don't have much give in them and adding an extra 2 inches all round except for her height would look more flattering and she could wear it all day more comfortably. The third one was lovely and very classic just needed to be altered so she wouldn't look sewn into the dress.
I got married about a million years ago and I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it but I took NO ONE with me when I went to look for a dress. My thinking was that if I was not old enough to pick out my own dress I probably wasn't old enough to get married. I honestly don't even know what those who came to my wedding thought of my dress because I LOVED it and I was the one wearing it. My groom loved it and it must have been a hit with at least some of the other people as well because about 30 years later my niece, who had been a baby when I got married, asked me if she could wear it when she got married. I would tell these brides, if YOU love the dress, get the dress. Oh yeah there could have been one other difference. I paid for my own dress which I felt gave me final say in what I purchased and some of these brides pay for their own dresses so they should definitely have final say. Sorry, but I just don't think it is essential that Mom and Mother-in-law-to-be and sister and best friend and future sister-in-law etc, etc. love the dress. The BRIDE needs to love the dress and even if a mistake is made it is HER mistake.
Haziqa Hasan Because sometimes we don’t have the best judgement and need other people’s opinions. She might love the dress now but maybe she won’t later. You don’t want buyer’s regret for your wedding dress.
I wish she tried on an A-line dress, I feel like it would of been so flattering on her, also I think off the shoulder would suit her much better than the sweetheart neckline. She still looked absolutely stunning tho and you could tell she loved it.
The bride's blue dress with white polka dots should have given the consultant an idea about the style of wedding gown that would have been flattering for the bride. She looked great in that dress. The same style top with a long skirt having a bit more ease would have worked for her wedding gown. The mermaid style was a mistake from the beginning.
Kerry Stone I’ll never understand the Power of the Veil. It has the ability to change the mind of everyone in an entourage, not just a family member. Personally, I don’t know that I’d want to be around people whose opinions can be changed by a piece of fabric. :-D
@@BruinPhD2009 A veil helps to visualize someone as a bride. It can be turning point if someone isn't sure about a dress because it helps them to see what it would look like on the day of and in pictures.
These people who say that "bling is too much, colour is too much and makes you tacky" should see Indian brides...we look like Queens in all that colour, bling and jewellery....😎 Do you, people. You'll look good in anything as long as you feel good and make it work.
Yupp...I am also the kind of person who doesn't like quite blingy or too bright colours in daily life but the same doesn't apply in wedding lehenga or wedding dress.... specially for lehengas I like bright colours more than the light which now a days brides are choosing....just saw a blue lehenga that Khushi kapoor wore in a wedding..it was beautiful😍😍....
As an autistic even I have learnt not to say things like "it's hideous" in public, especially when people who sell it, or (even worse) the designer, might find out what you've said. It's rude. There's a way to say it without being so nasty. If I am capable of that then these people are more than capable of it too, and simply being rude for no reason.
The whole time I was screaming inside "if she wants gold to match the bridesmaids, then just get a normal white dress and add gold accents!!! -- like a belt, sash, headband or some gold in the veil, ffs!!!" Is this a hard concept to figure out? lol
None of them worked. Pretty girl has the wrong skin tone to pull off gold. And the strapless form fitting made her look a bit "sausagey" (?). The store rep should have thought a little more outside the box to complement her figure more...but she is a lovely girl & will make a beautiful bride regardless.💚✌
Get something in your size at least.. a lovely girl but totally wrong styles for her body shape.. l despair... don,t these brides want to feel comfortable and secure on their big day????
Wow, that first dress looked so bad on her. The dress looked like dirty tissues placed on her. Her mother is right, you are the bride and you should stand out from your bridesmaid and not have the same color as the dress. When she came out in the second and third dresses, she looked amazing! I got the chills when she came out in the third dress, it was perfect on her!
Top looked horrible in the first dress, in the second dress she looked very lumpy she looked barrel like around the middle in the third. For me it would be a no, no and no.
She sounds very self-conscious, saying she listens to her mom a lot, and trying to put her bridesmaids before herself (they actually chose their dresses before her own, come on).
Technically, if her dress compliments the bridesmaids dresses, then the bridesmaids dresses compliment her dress. I think she just said that because she had already chosen the bridesmaids dresses, so she wanted the 2 to compliment each other. Some brides basically chose the dress and then plan the wedding around it, but she does seem to have done it the other way around.
@@chey6073 it is, but I'm guessing she envisioned those dresses for her bridesmaids and then decided to chose something that was well complemented by them. Its logical, even though she did do it backwards, but I get her thinking process.
Or maybe she just chose the dresses's color, to match the wedding theme she has in mind. I'm a bridesmaid and I know I'll have to wear pink on the day, because the bride wants it that way. However, she doesn't have her dress now, and has certainly not begun to choose the bridemaids's ones !
Dress Nr. 1 was interesting on the hanger but looked truly horrendous on her. It gave her skin a sick, cheesy look, and she looked altogether dull in the dress. Dress 2 was a complete desaster, just nothing was good about it, it especially made her back look crooked and her about fifty pounds heavier than she was. Nr. 3 did it, it was really the perfect dress for her skin and her figure. She really looked beautiful in it.
I think I've seen a few that have bits of very pale pink or blue that are quite nice, but a friend got married in a deep red dress with black details and she just looked wonderful
Unfortunately the longstanding tradition of only white for wedding dresses has stuck like cement. The original reason for white was popularized by Queen Victoria, to promote the purity of a young virgin - back when it was a sin to not be a virgin on your wedding day. As there are hardly any virgin brides these days, the representation of purity of a white wedding dress, is hardly needed anymore. As @thegreenmanofnorwich mentioned, a little added pale pink or pale blue can make a beautiful wedding dress.
I agree. If it was that show with GOK I bet he would have picked out a ballgown with a Basque waist for her to try on and she would see the difference!
These girls are like people who come into buy a new car and say "Oh, this is the price" yet they want the "Top-of-the-Line" options. So I think the woman shows them what they really want, and yes, it is more expensive.
Jibbie49 nah I've seen similar dresses for cheaper on all the day yes to the dress shows and for some reason the U.K. version just loves to always go over budget. There terrible
@C E yes I know but using a bigger sample dress and clipping it at the back would make it look better than making the bride fit a tight dress that brings out her curves in a bad way .
@C E i understand that. I'm just stating that the dress she wore that her entourage didnt like would have looked better if it was more close to her size like the sample dress she chose in the end.And besides shouldn't a top wedding dress store hold more sample sizes to cater women of different sizes ?
I support multiple fandoms stop the hate Literally there are probably hundreds of dresses in the store... there’s not gonna be every single size for every single dress.. that’s just not realistic. This isn’t a fucking clothing store lol..
“Cause if they don’t like it then how many people at the wedding would like it either?” Girl you forgot that the only one who should love your dress is YOU good if the others do but is YOUR day!!!
I love the first dress with the gold and the little multicolored flowers. It's not a traditional bridal gown, but that detailing is GORGEOUS. I would prefer a fuller skirt if it were me, but I think that dress is stunning and unique.
I totally agree. That detailing and the gold really made it look magical. She looked stunning. It may have not been that bridal though, probably more red carpet. I thought the last dress was equally stunning, but much more traditional and bridal.
Im pretty sure that the mom is not sure, and when they offer to try with a veil, it shows that the bride is committed to the dress. So whoever is on boarltd stops looking to critique and starts picturing the bride walking down the isle, and so they allow themselves to be won over lols. Sorry for the book, but its been on my mind for a while haha
Because mom loves her daughter. And if the daughter loves the dress as much that mom's opinion doesn't sway the decision, the consultant gives the mother an "out" to change opinion and support the person she loves so much. Any mother would take seeing her child happy over seeing their child wear a certain dress.
The first dress was horrendous, the second tacky and the third? Not all that. I know it's what she thinks looks beautiful, good and comfortable in but it doesn't suit her body shape.
If I knew my daughter absolutely loved a particular dress I would actually lie and say I loved it too --- her happiness is what counts at the end of the day. Some mothers should be left at home !!!
The way her mom defended her choice of a dress and went against every single remark which the bride had about the dress was so selfish. Gosh, chill woman, it is not you that is going to wear the dress and frankly you are not paying for it either. So irritating.
@@tiffanyg5044 Thank you for your remark. I got the impression that she was being rather subjective to push her own preferences. But I may be wrong, indeed.
I thought the mom was being swlfish at first, too. But seeing her change her mind on the third dress actually changed my opinion. The veil did nothing for her, mom still hated the dress, but loved her daughter to see how much she loved that gown. And to lie to see her happy. So i think when mom gave her opinions and suggested the dress, she was meaning well. But she knew when to stop.
How sweet that the mother in law teared up right away with the chosen dress! She clearly already loves this girl! And honestly I thought the 1st dress was absolutely beautiful but the final dress very much matched the bride's personality.
Being honest I got so excited when I saw the last dress as it seemed perfect for her. The ones before didn’t flatter her coloring or figure as much as I’d like. Totally saw what she meant about feeling exposed on the second one. The veil with the dress made me love the dress even more!! The one she chose was perfect and under budget! Perfection!!
If someone ask you for $2,000 budget you should start by $1500 or little bit less or more and your having a lot of collections of wedding gowns you should have lots of dresses in the budget why wouldn't you try that
It’s called top-down selling. The goal with the first dress is to give you exactly what you want, irregardless of the price. The goal is to match what you want. Then, they bring you the next best dress, which has about 75% of what you want, and costs a little bit less. Finally, after you’ve tried on a few dresses that may not meet the criteria, they bring you the dress that is best for you in your budget (or as close to your budget as can be.) Some items like hand-beading, embroidery, certain silks, etc. are naturally just going to cost more, though. If you care about those items...then depending on the style of dress you choose, you will pay more.
Nah, they can work on anyone if the material and fit is right. I'm a 10/12 and I've tried on a bunch of mermaid gowns at Macy's for fun, some of them looked horrendous but some of them were absolutely stunning. I noticed the gowns with thicker, more structured/detailed fabrics worked best for me.
I'm way bigger than size 4 and I'm 5 foot 9 and I got a mermaid. And it's beautiful 😘 I disagree completely actually and think you need curves to fill out a mermaid dress
Not entirely true. I’m a size 4 but Mermaid doesn’t look too good on me because my mid section hold my little bit of tummy. It’s all about shape of the body rather than the size of the body. In my opinion at least
The ones with ruching are nice and more forgiving, particularly if you're prone to android fat. But really to rock a mermaid you either need to be very short and petite or you need to be tall with ratios for hips, boobs, waist and butt that align with each other. If one body part is disproportionate to another, a mermaid will show it and highlight it further. She has bigger shoulders and the dstrapless mermaids enhance that. At least even a shoulderstrap might temper that
The third dress was stunning on her and it was the perfect compromise. Mom wanted white. Bride wanted gold. She got a white dress with subtle gold in the stitching. The other two didn't suit her AT ALL.
That’s so sad that in the beginning of this clip, she talked about how all she cared about was it other people liked her dress. I would hope all brides want to like it themselves and feel confident in their choices
everyone in the comments is going on about “oh this dress doesn’t suit her figure” or “she should’ve tried on a different shape” must you all be reminded it’s not your wedding, it’s this stunning brides wedding. She can choose whatever dress SHE can see herself walking down the isle in
The bridge also wants to look her best on the big day. I don't think she wants to look like an over stuffed sausage if there's another dress that makes her look better.
Do you really think guests at the wedding wouldn’t be saying behind her back that the dress is unflattering and what was she thinking? The staff should’ve helped her choose a dress that suits her figure as afterall that’s their job so SHE could her look her best walking down the aisle!!
bride: loves the dress also bride: thats so sad: "if she doesnt like it, idk if i like it" Your opinion should not have to be another person's even if it is your mum! You are your own person!
I didn't like how it made her look sausagey. 1 and 2 both. Particularly #2. That's the DRESS, not the girl. Go to Armani. Suddenly everything FITS off the rack! And a jacket is 2,800, soo...
This episode shows how toxic may be a relation between mother and daughter. It's really crushing me that Emily can't decide (I'm guessing in everything) without mother approval
@@Ajgsydodkdlclcjjs making your decisions dependent on parental approval is toxic. The essence of adulthood is making decisions and bearing with their consequences. Sometimes we make bad decisions, but then we should deal with them all by ourselves. Only that makes us independent.
The fact that she said "if my mom doesn't love the dress can I love it?" just shows how much her mother controls her opinions in general. It's sad to see that most comments only talk about the dresses but no one seems to notice that this girl has almost no opinion herself because of how much her mother forces her opinion on her dauthter probably since birth. I hope after getting married this bride can find strength to stand for herself and for what she wants instead of what other people push on her
I don't get how that is toxic at all. You may be projecting. Not everyone has a twisted relationship with their parents. It's natural to want people you love and respect to support your decisions.
I literally have seen the 1st and 2nd dress hundreds of times jesus, and she’s a beautiful person but I just don’t think that style does anything for her figure
When children give their parents so much power over something as simple as a dress, can you imagine when they have kids, buy a home, etc.??? If you have good parents, you should love them but not give them control over your life and emotions.
This girl’s hair need some love and a good hairstylist. She needs a even haircut immediately. It’s a shame, she is a such sweet girl but the hair do her no justice at all
The issue is not her shape, it's that stock sizes aren't made for your particular body, and shes looks like a 20 in the hips and a 14 in the bust so If they put her in something to fit the hips she wont get a realistic idea of the top. They will buy that dress for her hips and heavily alter it to fit the bust.
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 Fuller boobs and/or hips. She is square (fuller in the waist) so unfortunately this design is not the most flattering on her as it doesn’t suit her body type. The point of a mermaid is to accentuate your curves at the mid section so to flow and create a nice flare at the bottom. Unfortunately, this design creates a box on her. She was happy though.
“If she doesn’t like it, then do I REALLY like it?” Yesss Honey! You are capable /entitled to have your own opinion even if others feel differently! Speaking of opinions, I would have like to have see her in the last dress with a A-line silhouette 🤷🏽♀️
