Alis is set on what type of wedding dress she wants to try on, however mum feels like she should have a say on what gowns she tries on since she is paying for half of it. Catch Say Yes to the Dress on TLC - Sky 133, Virgin 162, BT TV 323
@Candy Girl The bride was far from an arsehole and no, she did not make her mum look stupid at all. The bride is the one wearing the dress and she paid half.
@Candy Girl the mother isnt the one who looks like a fool on national tv, the daughter is, for not rejecting the mothers half of the payment and getting her dress on her own. No, the mother looks like a controlling bitch on national tv, she did that on her own without the daughters help. The daughter made it clear she didn't want a ball gown dress, mom is rejecting anything that isn't that.
Garden Plots there are other things that mother could help with, this is not it. You don’t want to wear a dress that your mother likes but not you. Daughters will always need their mother married or not.
@Kathleen Henson So did I. I didn't even show my bridesmaids until the final fitting as I wanted nobody to influence my decision or if I'd seen any funny looks on faces I would have been disappointed. Your wedding day is meant to be about you not what others want, some of them have already had their day and others will get their chance, but your day is your own and I think a bride should be able to have that time to look back on with no regrets just happy memories.
But you're not losing your daughter. She's just taking the next step in her life and getting married. Most women leave home, live alone/with a partner and make independent life choices for themselves wayyy before their wedding days, so the wedding day isnt when parents let go, that comes ages before and nobody is losing anyone! Mothers love their children and children love their mother (in most cases!) Lose is a strong word
@@fiona2110 think about it the other way around. So she should wear the dress other people choose for her even if she's not happy? And id she doesnt choose what her mum wants then she is now disrespectful and unloving? It's her wedding. Not her mums.
Some parents would still fight to have there way, and others don’t wanna have a say, my mum and I watch this together and she always says it your wedding it’s nothing to do with what I like even though she plans to pay for it
When I was getting my dress, the only thing my mom said about one of the dresses I tried on, was she thought the neckline was to low for a church wedding. I agreed with her.
Everyone’s talking about the mother but I think we should acknowledge that her bridesmaids were so supportive. It’s like they were there to tell her she was gorgeous in everything, and she was. Those were some great friends, especially after seeing some of the other bridesmaids on say yes to the dress.
If my mother would have told me that because she was paying half her opinion mattered more I would have told the consultant at that moment that my budget had decreased by half no one should have a greater say on your choice of wedding dress but you😆
Then you probably have horrible relationship with your mother. Mothers say these kind of things all the time, see the love here. But then love is a 2 way street.
@@brooklynbound0 aNd?1? the mom still gets to choose what she does or doesn't want to spend her money on. if the bride wants to be a 100% in control then she can pay for her own dress!
Well shes paying half only yet tried to say that "whoever pays the piper, picks the tune". She basically said that what she wants should go since shes paying but in truth they both are. It was very selfish of her.
I went with my daughter when she picked out her wedding dress..I never told her what to buy..its her wedding not mine I supported her choice..shame on these moms who disregard their daughters choice
laureen jewett same here. I gave my daughter what I classed as a healthy budget for her dress. If the dress turned out to be more she said she would pay. As it happens she had originally thought she was paying for the dress herself. So was excited when I offered. If it was less then the balance would go on other items. On the day I went with her to the specialist boutique . Along with Chief Bridesmaid and soon to be Mother in law. Loved her choice. The smile said it all. Still don’t know the final cost. Her dress, her choice, her day. 👰🏼
Same with me. If she loved it, I loved it. If she didn’t, neither did I. I was there to throw money at it and enjoy the experience. It was a win/win situation.
Mother had a strong preference but at the end the bride was able to stand her ground while both being respectful of each other. The bride did really looked great on all dresses.
Right😕...I fell in love with the 1st one...and i think that she should've chosen the first one bc it went with her hair and skin tone, showed all her curves. It just look beautiful❤
I would have been insulted to be reprimanded by a dress shop owner in front of my child and all of the other people that was there! If I'm paying for it or even paying for half I at least deserve the respect of my opinion being taken respectfully!!!
@@sharcrum David is just stating a matter of fact, if she can't see past that, she deserves to be reprimanded. She is paying half of it as a gift, and who wants a gift the sender likes but not the recipient.
i think the colour of the first one suited her skin tone better. made her look very ethereal. the one she chose in the end is a more mature look and maybe that's what she was going for. her figure is perfect for the style of dresses anyway
I’m wondering if it’s maybe cultural. In the USA, our budget usually means the absolute maximum we would pay. In the UK, I wonder if it’s more of a connotation of a ballpark figure. Because it’s common for the UK brides to be put in dresses that are a bit off budget but few of them seem upset by it. It seems that in the UK, they put the brides into what they think is the bride’s dream dress without as much regard for price.
The veil doesn't fit well with the dress in my opinion - I would prefer a veil that reiterate the lace of the dress :) But all in all the dress suits her perfectly, beautiful bride!
Tibia Jones my guess is they put her in a fit and flare as a compromise, and because she fell in love with the fit and flare, they kept at it. Plus we don't see every dress, I'm sure.
Imho the first dress was just flattering on this bride. The third one is classy and beautiful but too "mature" and I preffered the neckline od the first dress, suited the bride better
@MiekoNeko so stop watching the show if you hate seeing mermaid dresses? Not your wedding so you dont get to tell them that they shouldn't do a mermaid gown, back off.
When a parent says it’s “everything I’D want in a bridal dress”... you already know they’re not even talking or thinking about their daughter... she either has really fond memories of HER wedding back in the day OR she wasn’t able to afford a princess dress when she got married, so this is her opportunity to project on her daughter her OWN wishes, while also taking advantage by holding 1/2 the purse strings, which is a default thought process that parents do all the time & most don’t even realize it... 🙄🤦🏼♀️
Whenever moms say that since they are paying for the dress, that they should have a say, is like if someone offered to buy you lunch but it has to be what they want but not what you want.
LeahSaurus I’d agree with not judging her too harshly, if it weren’t for the fact that the bride said she brought bridesmaids as moral support for dealing with her mother. She might just be playing nice for the cameras. Unless, of course, the bride was coached or led to say that line.
If you want to be nice and help pay for the dress, do that WITHOUT the entitlement of a “say”. Having that sense of entitlement turns a positive gesture into a negative, controlling thing. Might as well not help pay for it and keep your mouth shut at that point
She is beautiful in all the dress, but the third ones just so stunning together with the good price and I’m so glad that finally her mom like the dress the bride choose.
This is why I just went dress shopping on my own - got a never-worn dress from a charity bridal shop, was everything that I knew I liked and only cost £350. I knew that if I had other people there trying to push their opinion on me I would have ended up with a dress that I would have never picked for myself, so no regrets!
I did that too and I dont regret it as well! Only me and the consultant and I loved how it turned out. And, after all, I think all these brides bring that many people because they want to be in television lol... it is just not that easy to gather everyone.
My daughter is getting married in a couple of years and no matter what dress she chooses I know she will look amazing in it. And no way will I be like this mum trying to say what she should be wearing, after all it's my daughter that is getting married.
This show is really blowing things out of proportion. Although they had differing opinions, I thought the conversations between the mother and daughter to be very congenial. They actually showed a lot of understanding between them, and they were able to give way to their own preferences all while being respectful of each other.
I had a dress picked by and paid for by my mother. But I was lucky - she has great taste and picked a dress that was fabulous! Seeing some mothers and daughters on these shows makes me appreciate my own mother even more.
I love the first dress for the bride. It was perfect for her. I'm so lucky that if I do need help paying for my wedding, my dad and stepmom focus on me being happy, not what they want.
A msg to the bride you're absolutely gorgeous bless you, also everyone keeps saying the first is better but I think her choice was great made her look even more pretty and fits well even if it's not a white dress.
If my daughter ever gets married, I would like to just see one beautiful princess gown on her. Then we’ll buy the steam punk one she wants to get married in.😄
This bride phrased it perfectly right and exactly how I feel: "I dreamed of a big dress/poofy dress when I was 5. That's what I imagined when I was that age. I'm not 5 anymore." I've been to about 5 weddings now and a majority of them have worn poofy, big gowns. And their reasoning is that they wanted to feel like a princess. I even remember the most recent bride to be married saying, "it's exactly what I drew when I was a little girl!" Which is great that they're getting what they want, but I feel like brides pressure themselves to look like a princess. They pressure themselves to wear the big gown because when else will you get that? But I didn't want to look like a princess. I wanted to look like a queen. So I got a fit-and-flare dress with beautiful, intricate beating and a long train. I know so many girls that regret ballgowns because they take up so much space and are difficult to move with. Not to mention, they're heavy. I just wish girls would go for what they want NOW, not what they wanted when they were 5.
My Mum’s dress was a giant meringue and she loved it, never once regretted it. Some women do just want to look like a princess, and it’s not because they pressured themselves. Everyone’s different.
I love how the bridesmaids were totally there to talk about her bridal beauty and that mom completely changed her mind at the end xoxo she looked gorgeous in everything but this was totally her dress xoxo
I love all three dresses, and they all look astounding on her. I think the third one was the best choice. Alis looks stunning even in her grunge glam. She will be a gorgeous bride.
I love the first one better 😍 it was stunning and it fits her perfectly.. Edited: OMG ! Thank you so much guys for the 64 likes ! 😘 I never get these much likes before.. Second Edited: Thank you so much for the 116 likes ! 😘
What a smart mother. I am glad she came along. Love her attitude (at the end🤣) and the fact she didn't make her daughter lose her own vision and compromise
I felt very sad when the reaction of my mom to my engagement was: "Okay", changing the subject soon after, as she really never was into marriage (she gave me a huge amount of money for the wedding nontheless, really, I'm a lucky daughter). But watching this, I'm kinda thankful for her lack of interest. Rather have a mother with no interest in your dress, than a mother who thinks anything happening at the bridal salon is supposed to be about her. I liked all three dresses very much, she looked gorgeous in all of them.
