Mum Doesn't Like That Dress Accentuates Bride's “Junk In The Trunk”?! | Say Yes To The Dress Atlanta 

'We have the same style' - yes mum, you have a mini-me. She is dressed like a 50-year-old with a hair style to match. Encourage this sweet girl to find herself, her style, and let go!!

14 years ago my Daughter, Leslie, became engaged. We shopped for the perfect dress. I fell in love with one particular dress that took my breathe away. But, she chose a different dress, a dress I hated. It was hard, but I kept my dislike of her dress to myself and pretended to like it, because she loved it. On her Wedding Day she was stunningly beautiful, in the dress I hated. When her Wedding pics came in, there was that dress, that I hated. One year ago, my Leslie died, in her sleep, from a Brain Bleed. She's gone forever and all I have are memories and pictures. I now cherish the photos of her in "that" dress. "That" dress was the first thing I asked for when going through her things. The dress that I hated, I now cherish. I love it because she loved it. It was part of the happiest day of her life. Mom's everywhere...pretend to like the dress. Don't quibble over the money. Write the check and love the dress because she loves it. Don't forget to tell her how gorgeous she looks and how perfect her dress is. My Leslie, 03/15/21

I just read that Rene got this dress and is now married with a child! You Go Girl!!! So happy for you❤️

The mom “if she’s looking for me to give approval, I won’t do that.” Yet she easily threw all sorts of criticism at her daughter without a problem. Some women shouldn’t ever be mothers.

As a "more experienced adult" that mom should have used her experience to learn how be kind to her daughter.

Her mom is not the voice of reason. She’s the voice of selfishness

Her mom only smiles when her daughter was upset. That sums up the whole experience right then and there.

The most chilling thing about this video is the mom saying that it was the daughters decision about the dress upfront, and then they act COMPLETELY the opposite. This bride might need counselling for gaslighting because that was epic.

Not the mum saying 'I am a more experienced adult than her' as if that has anything to do with how happy she is going to feel in a dress that she loves on her WEDDING DAY

What a horrible mother - she’s right she should’ve not attended the dress appointment 😱

If that verbally abusive, controlling so-called mother is willing to body shame and humiliate her daughter in public, I can't even begin to imagine what she says to her in private. It's no wonder the bride-to-be is afraid to speak up and insist on a gown of her choice after a lifetime of that kind of treatment.

Good grief, her mum is so outrageously manipulative.

The affordability argument literally wasn’t strong. Their budget was under $2000. The dress was $1200 + veil at 250 + alterations at $400 = $1850. Which is under $2000. Such manipulation. They could have gone to a fabric store and made a veil and sash. Then the price would be $1650. I just feel so bad for her.

The mom lied right from the beginning saying “I won’t give her the answer “ and mom did nothing but say negative and rude remarks . Mom lied and is a bully. Shame on you mom!

“I’m here because she wants me to be here. (Smirk). Normally I wouldn’t do this. (Smiles broadly to cover the deception).

Something more is going on than what is being said. That mom is very against the marriage, she is very disagreeable, and you can tell she doesnt want the bride to get married. How sad for that precious young woman.

Mom’s comment at the end about how you don’t “marry the first man you find” makes me feel like she doesn’t approve of the marriage itself. From the get-go, it really felt like she didn’t want to be involved, but couldn’t help herself in being super negative. Really sad. I think the first dress the bride tried on looked the best on her. I don’t get the “junk in the trunk” comment, at all - it’s not like she’s exceptionally curvy, and even if she was, that’s not a bad thing. When you have the right dress for you, it complements your form, whatever body shape you have. Bride really shouldn’t include mommy dearest in any future dress shopping. Not if she wants to have a wedding. May be smart to leave her out of that event too.

Mom: I'm not going to interfere, I'm not giving her any answers Also mom: that's not my style, it accentuates the junk in the trunk, I don't like the lace...

The girl seems to still dress and have a hair style that makes her mum happy. Her mum is really weird.

The mother is smiling so charmingly as she sticks out her foot to trip her daughter . She is such a lovely, lovely ladylike lady isn’t she .🧟‍♀️

Obviously the mother is the reason she’s tried on so many dresses.

I had one daughter get married last October and a few months ago with my other daughter we went and picked out her gown. I paid attention to her body and her face. When she found the dress that she loved I was very excited for her. It is not my day to pick the dress and it is not my wedding. I know my role and that is to be supportive of my daughter. My opinions do not matter. This is all about her. Some of these mothers on here need to realize that.

I thought that the second dress looked stunning on her! “ Junk in the trunk?” Please! She looked beautiful! And it is our responsibility as mothers to be supportive of our daughters while allowing them to be grown women with minds of their own! And if the bride truly loved that discontinued dress, it was her mother’s duty to smile, say “I love you and I think that you are beautiful,” and buy the darned dress!

This mom is a monster. She's ultra manipulative and really doesn't want her daughter to get married.

The smug look on the mom's face when Lori said the sash was extra - ugh.... and wouldn't those costs be involved with any dress? And the "you don't go with the first one you see" - it's the bride's FOURTH store!

I mean I didn't like the dress either But that mom was not kind. She kept finding reasons to make the bride not choose it The price, the manipulative way of speaking EVERYTHING.

She was lovely in the dress she loved. She really looked like an old time Princess and it really suited/fitted her perfectly.

Mom's persistent "I'm not going to make the decision for her" shows just how selfish and deceitful she is. She didn't want her to get the dress that she liked, so she throws the costs for alterations and accessories at her daughter. Mom is wicked and not very nice to her daughter.

Mom: I hope she’s not looking to me to make a decision. Also mom: no, not that one, no not that one, no, not that one. This mom is gross. It’s not your wedding!

To me it seems like this is a really broken mother daughter relationship, she dresses very old for her age to appease her mother, the mother seems very irritated with the daughter just in general. The daughter may just be trying SO hard to make her mom happy and she (mother) is probably someone who is just never happy. Hopefully she (bride) found a dress and found happiness.

Wow! I didn’t know that the “ voice of reason & rationality “ was code for just a B. That mother was just all about control. “ I am the adult with more experience.” Wow. I hope the bride moves far away or that mother is probably going to ruin that marriage.

the mom ain't "the voice of reason and rationality" she's the voice of resentment and meanness

Obviously the mom doesn't want her little girl to get married, which comes across very clearly. This bride had to get tough or else she'll end up with no wedding and tied to Mother's apron strings. Been there, done that, cut the strings, went against my entire family's wishes and opinions, going on forty-seven years ago. You've got to stand up for what you want. :)

The mom was rude and seemed so happy being "in charge"

Good grief. Rather rotten grief. Considering her mom said she would not be vocal with helping her daughter decide, she sure got over that quickly. What a sweet bride. Her family and friends, not so much, from where I am sitting.

Wow, mean Mom. She needs to say what is really bothering her and stop crushing her daughters joy.

This mum annoyed me. She was in budget and used her age as means to manipulate her daughter 🤬

Was is her mom so hostile? First, she doesn't want the bride to depend on her, then it's " I'm the elder, I know best." She seems to not like her daughter. I hope that's not true.

The mom says that's not my style Hell she's not the bride What an awful person So sorry for her daughter

The laughing at the price of the veil is what did it for me.....

Accentuating the junk is *never* a bad thing. These people are still in the 1990s

With her mom saying, " Picking a dress. It's like picking a husband" that's the REAL issue. She's been hurt too many times and can't stand to see her daughter happy.

The "crunching numbers" part was so cruel. Normally if you tell the consultant your budget is 2,000$, they will get you a dress that is max 2,000$. If you want EVERYTHING to add up to 2,000$ including alterations, vail and bling you have to tell them a lower budget than 2,000$. That was just manipulative and I felt really bad for the bride at that point

From her very first comment, that mother just rubbed me the wrong way… can’t put my finger on it. I know this is like 20 years old now, so I hope she found her confidence and is still happily married!!!

For a 23 year old ? She dresses like she’s in her 30s

For someone who said at the beginning she would not give her opinion on a decision she sure had a lot to say. None of it is constructive.

This poor girl just seems to want her moms approval

What a rotten mom. She's not the voice of reason, she's the voice of discouragement, constantly putting her daughter down.

Baby girl needs to go wedding dress shopping by herself. Mom is no help.

That mother was down right mean! She was still in budget with all the things! She did not know if alterations were going to be that much and there may have been a less expensive veil she could of gotten! The mother needs to listen to her Dsughter!

Aww bless her, the way she looked in the mirror on the way back to the dressing room tells me that's the dress she wanted to get married in. I wish her and her husband a happy future.

Passive-Aggressive Disorder? Mom, you’re being a COW! I wish we knew how the bride and groom are today… I hope living happily ever after- FAR AWAY from ‘mom.’

Say it with me, folks... “Mom, it’s NOT your wedding!” 😡

The mother said she did not want to make the decision.. Really???? Talk about brutal. I wanted to yell at her. 100% negative about everything. Here's my advice to that mother: Next time STAY HOME.

This mom, with her experience and maturity, has learned how to throw a wet blanket on her daughter's happiness;

my favorite part about SYTTD clips being uploaded to RU-vid is that we can all commiserate and talk together about all of these people featured on the show 😂

Honey, I’m praying for her future husband, because 1-that mama is a… and 2-that daughter needs to stop being a doormat!

This is why I took NO ONE to choose my dress. It was MY wedding and MY decision. At 19 I did not let another person choose the most important dress I would ever have.

I bought a dress my mom hated and I still love it to be his day, almost 30 years later. The marriage did not last but my love for that dress did.

"I'd like to shuffle that deck" she comes up with the funniest remarks. 🤣🤣🤣

Leave your mother at home & take out a signature loan & buy it yourself, it's ABUNDANTLY CLEAR by moms statement she doesn't want her to marry who she chose.

"This is more my style" says the mother. Who the is getting married? So now her behind is too large? Seriously? So she rains on the bride's parade. Mom is a controlling harpie.

That mother is truly ......a mother. How awful could that woman be? Her daughter was happy....and she took that away from her.

The mom keeps saying its her decision but keeps throwing in her negative opinions

Hearbreaking - This mother is beating down her daughter little by little by just nit picking everything. I wonder if that dear girl ever succeeding in finding a dress or even having a wedding. This girl would look beautiful in anything she wore, it would just be nice if she was able to pick her wedding gown without so much negativity from her mom. I hope she does get married to the man she loves and they move far, far away before starting a family.

Don’t you love it when irrational people see themselves as the rational ones ? Yeh mom, there is absolutely no baggage behind you disapproving on every dress.

It seemed like the mom was determined to find something wrong with all of the dresses.

The mother had some nerve assuming what the alterations would cost without even asking what the end price might be. Disgusting behavior on her part. Also what junk in the trunk? She looked so good in that bustled dress! The one she really liked made her look dated. She needed something but she loved it. I had this happen to me when I was wedding dress shopping and I got talked into one I did not like and 40 years later it is still a disappointment to me. I feel cheated. She needs to go shopping without her mother to get a dress SHE loves. That will be a dress she won't regret.

It's like mom doesn't want her to get married....

I don’t think Mom wants her to get married….

Bless these brides for putting up with mothers like these.

First dress was gorgeous on her. Last dress is not my personal fave but it looked great. And it was well under budget. Very odd that the mother kept pushing on that.

Mom is great at deflating the bride. She should have stayed home.

Her mother is mean and abrupt. Sometimes as parents we have to give our children freedom but when needed provide a safety net.

The first dress was gorgeous on her! I think the mom just doesn't want her to get married at all.

“My mom and I have similar styles” *cuts to mom wearing an almost identical outfit*

If Mom is this bad before the wedding how bad is she going to be afterwards? That poor couple will need to put some serious distance between themselves and this woman or she's going to cause trouble.

The Mother sure created a lot of questions. The remark she really wouldn't be here except the bride asked her to be kind of a mouth gaping surprise 😬 Mom came in with a negative vibe and it hijacked the appointment. Honestly felt bad for the bride. Sad. One can only imagine the rest of the wedding planning with this MOB

If the bride doesn't keep her mum home. She's not gonna have a dress. The mother is so manipulative. She might even talk her daughter out of the wedding as well. She's evidently not happy about her daughter's happiness and desires. She's just happy to be in charge. What a woman 🤦🏻‍♀️

I loved my Mom very much and know that she loved me, but she had the same qualities of the mother in this video. Being raised this way had some negative side effects, especially during awkward teen years when I needed praise, but which I conquered ( mostly) as an adult. My mother was beautiful and extremely accomplished and I felt that I could never measure up, especially since she was stingy with compliments.

The mother is a fairy tale character: the evil stepmother! When she said "This is more MY style" I wanted to scream and when she then said "Junk In The Trunk", I thought she needed to be turned into... a garbage bin ;)

It’s your daughters wedding Mommy Dearest!!! Shame on you for robbing her of all the wonderful experiences of wedding dress shopping. I’m willing to bet this young lady has never chosen anything to wear in her life. She and her mother had on the same blouses for heavens sake. I think the bride should have come out in a figure hugging dress with see through panels to shock that dried up old prune.

The mom says, I hope she doesn't look to me for an answer. Meanwhile, mom nixes EVERYTHING!

The more experienced adult? Really??!! How about a better MOTHER?!! She’s was being cruel.

Mom is really picking at straws, “don’t forget about alterations, that’s going to hurt your budget” wtf?? Who says that?

A couple words for the mother - BE KIND!!!!!!

I think the dresses were all beautiful. Good luck to the bride, you will look beautiful no matter the choice

I feel soooo much for her, I used to be under my mothers claws too. Codependent relationships are awful and abusive.

She looked beautiful in all the dresses😍💕, the mom is tripping

: I saw her wedding picture on Facebook. She wore the last dress that she loves :)

Leave Mom out of the next appointment. She does not want this girl to even get married.

Is the mother trying to live her dream wedding through her daughter? Is she trying to "sabotage" the bride's happiness? What is wrong with her? That poor bride. I hope she found her voice at the end of the day.

How is she rushing into buying a dress, 4 dress shops later? Mom needs to be quiet..not helpful at all..

I went into a shop, chose the dress I wanted, payed for it by myself and showed it first when I got married. I don`t see an advantage being manipulated by mothers or other people but everyone is different.

That poor bride, this is one of the big moments in life and her mother is being a complete kill joy.

That mom is cold hearted.

That’s a sad video. I wonder what the mothers problem truly is? Hope it got resolved

The mom’s more worried about the price tag on the dress and accessories than HER OWN DAUGHTER’S wedding. She should be happy for her daughter and not keep trying to tear her excitement and confidence down.

Mom, you owe your daughter an apology.

This mom is beastly!
