This southern mum wants her daughter to wear the exact same dress that she wore at her wedding but the bride wants something brand new. Catch Say Yes to the Dress on TLC - Sky 133, Virgin 162, BT TV 323
Mom's dress is beautiful. Definitely classy and timeless, like she said. But the bride has to feel beautiful, and she has to feel like herself. Her fiance didn't propose to Mom, he doesn't want to see his mother in law walking down the aisle toward him. He wants HER, and she shouldn't try to be anyone but herself.
If she grew up with her mom insisting on that dress, it may feel more like playing dress up. She wants to feel like a grownup on her wedding day, not like a little girl or her mom’s doll.
like that one better than most of the skanky cocktail, evening looks I have seen on these clips. the front piece that extends over the belly button area is VERY flattering to a woman. LOSE THE BELTS. most of the bling belts take away from the length of the body and dont usually help the waist line.
I agree, her mom's dress really surprised me when she tried it on. For free, I'd see if mom was okay with a couple of alterations, and I'd definitely wear it.
Jessica Thompson she did actually, she refused to like any other dresses her daughter tried on because it was all about “my dress my dress my dress”. 🙄 Until they jacked her daughter up, which is what happens in every video. 🤣
The mom's dress is pretty much exactly what I have always wanted for my wedding. I loveeee those lace sleeves. Completely understandable that the bride didn't want to wear it though; girl's gotta put herself first, a wedding dress is so so important!
Her mom’s wedding dress looks actually good, but if her daughter don’t like to wear it I think mom should accept it after all it’s her daughter’s wedding day.
@@shevahauser1780 I wish I could wear my mom's dress. I'm to tall for it now for one. It was also my grandmother's dress before my mom's and they let it out all the way for my mom. My plan is to use the vail since I can't wear the dress.
I love how mom says "it's tradition" when she talks about her daughter wearing mom's wedding dress. Ok, if it's tradition, then why didn't mom wear her mom's dress but got her own instead?
Selfish or self-centered mom: she chose her wedding dress but her daughter doesn't get to? Bravo for Monte putting her back in her place!!! Monte is a genius LoL
*"If you're gonna wear an old looking dress, you got your mom's dress"* Meanwhile Flo witnessing this : _oH heaven's no- here we go again...._ A moment of internal chaos for Monte's success of yEETing some shade in there, once again. 👏😎
Every girl deserves to have “that” moment with the dress they choose. It’s not fair to take “that” moment away from your daughter just so you can fall in love with your dress all over again. Everyone deserves to feel like the best version of themselves on their wedding day. I think she definitely achieved that💐💍🥂💒 😉👍
She actually looks pretty good in her moms dress, but its HER wedding not her moms. Her mom shouldn’t pressure her to wear her dress if she doesnt want.
I agree, I like the mom's dress on her, but the fact of the matter is, this isn't her mom's wedding anymore, let the daughter have her own wedding. If the daughter is the bride, she should get what fits her.
@@Truly_Sithari guilt is the emotion that parents love to weaponize. You know the argument, “I gave you a roof and fed you, I’m paying for your dress, etc”
well i mean what would your mom do, my mom would pick the one that suits me well and i may try something that may not look good on me. i sometimes agree with half of the moms in this show.....
@@fairytale8681 For me, it's all about the bride. This is her one special day. The mom can give advice, but shouldn't constantly be pushing for something the bride has already stated she doesn't want to wear.
I've seen a way pushier mom than that, I actually think that the mom in this clip wasn't that bad, I'd say that most of our moms would have done the same. In the video, I'm glad hat she somewhat compromise. I know that its all about the bride for her wedding day but the guests are ur family and family is very important so its important to get the approval of your mom or dad.
"If you want to wear an old looking dress, you've got your mom's" "I mean that if you want vintage look, you've got the original vintage" I love him 🤣🤣👏👏❤❤ that was it!!!!
@@thevampirefrog06 Right! She talks about how when she saw the dress she knew it was the one, but isn't letting her daughter have the same experience finding her own??
Amber Rigetti I think you nailed it. It sounded like the Mom wanted a repeat of her own wedding, with her daughter as stand-in. Now, her dress wasn’t as fugly as some 80s dresses are - fairly classic if dated - and could maybe have been altered. But her behaviour was outright toxic and that in itself is a reason to refuse.
“It suprises me she doesn’t like my wedding dress, it fits her perfectly” Ma’am, that’s because she’s not YOU. Stop shoving your expectations down your children’s throats. You’re not the same person, they’ll want different things. Thank. You.
If my daughter (if I have a daughter) wants my dress, absolutely! But I know how important the dress is and would never force it on her! Mine was a full custom and if anything I'd just want to make sure she didn't change the look of it too much like ripping off the sleeves, add a removable ball gown skirt? Go for it. If she doesn't even want to consider my dress then that's fine! Just looking at the difference between my sisters and I... That's a huge difference.
Monty almost put his foot in it in this one !! i think moms dress was a stunner, and totally appropriate for the current times, i see brides picking very similar designs. but the bride wanted to make her own memories, and even said she loved her moms gown. i hope that her wedding was how she envisioned it :)
I agree with Monty, the bride's first choice dress was too 'old' for her. The mum's dress looked gorgeous on her but I do think the bride needs to start her own story, with her own dress.
And quite honestly, not everybody realizes that wedding dresses can become dated just like any other style of dress. Even Princess Diana, when in her 30's, said she wasn't all that thrilled with the dress when looking back.
The mum´s dress is actually very pretty and her mum is right, the daughter does look amazing in it. That said, I do understand the daughter´s desire to have her own dress without the history.
Doesn’t this mother remember the joy and happiness she felt when she picked out her dress? I think the best thing she can give to her daughter is that same feeling about a dress that she loves.
@@gardenjoy5223 the mom didn’t even insist she use her dress that much idk what you mean by “ruining” it. After having her dress rejected she dropped it and let her daughter choose what she wanted
"28 years ago I tried on dresses until I found the one that was right for me." "I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE WANTS TO PICK HER OWN DRESS AND NOT JUST WEAR MINE."
@@charlotteevans7868 I kept the crystal sash and hair piece just in case she wants to incorporate them into her dress. I felt the dress looked sad all boxed up so I donated to brides against breast cancer. I like to think of the woman who purchased it and imagine how she felt in her/our dream dress. haha I know thats insane but it makes me happy to think it brought someone else joy.
@@keepingupwithkelsey2980 ohh i get it. its so sweet tho bc imagine how happy this woman will be putting on that dress and knowing it is hers. and for women with breast cancer? thats amazing. hopefully ur daughter will use those pieces in her wedding dress!
Dude till now, after all binge watching this show during quarantine, I came to know an ultra important and life changing plus shaking fact: THE VEIL HAS GOT SOME HOGWARTS MAGIC IN IT. PERIOD.T
her mom's dress is actually not that bad and she looks adorable, but not for her wedding. maybe a super glamorous costume party and i mean that in the nicest way.
I would take engagement photos or just random photos in it. They could even photoshop her next to her mom with them both wearing it. It would be super sweet but she she should wear what she wants for the wedding.
I wore my mom's 80s dress, I loved it and it looked beautiful! But my mom never pushed me, was my choice. Looked similar to the mom's here, but satin on the bottom, more structured
Actually...even if the daughter did like her mom's dress, she wouldn't have worn it coz the mom kept being pushy and acting like a baby. Dominant parents force choices on their children and it will do neither any good.
@@greenapples9293 actually they've had brides comes out and say that in earlier seasons they didn't even get to pick their entourage, they had to basically fill out a profile on everyone in their lives and then the show picked. That's why there's so many episodes where the MIL who is against the marriage, the narcissistic friend/sister, generally that person that makes you go "why did you invite her" is there. Like I'm pretty sure they would've picked my mom and we are basically no contact and would probably spend the whole time playing the perfect always there for her child mother... Like she's the mother who steals pics of us off of other people's FBs so she can talk about how proud she is to be our mother.
That's me. My mom forces me to do things so often. Then there's that time that I do that thing, for example cleaning without her saying because I feel good and all but when she says, or more likely demands it and is pushy, I just lose my complete motivation. Like, I can stay home for hours and I am bored but motivated so I clean the entire flat and all but then when she comes and practically demands I do a simple chore while I have 3 other sibling that do jackshit. And only because either I am the oldest and I have to be an idol for my siblings, or because I am the only one between 4 kids who doesn't have as much of a problem with helping out. I don't know, maybe it's cuz I am tired of her putting me down for making the simplest mistake when she asks me to do something and it's just taking away my self confidence, making me feel that anything I do is always wrong. I wanna do things from myself without you being so nasty about it, woman-
My mom wore an exact replica of my Grandma's dress for her wedding and it has definitely made me interested in choosing a similar style if I get married, but also add my own preferences and personality to it like this bride
I agree. It's beautiful and classic. Dresses like that are hard to find too. I would have added a belt of some sort, the right veil, some classic jewelry, some simple shoes, and either some mixed wildflowers or some red roses with some fern. It really doesn't need much. I hope one of the moms daughters wear it. It will mean alot to the mom, to have such a tradition carried on.
This has to be the only time I’ve seen a mother’s wedding dress not only look good for something so old, I’m surprised the bride could fit the mother’s wedding dress. Usually mom was bigger or smaller than her daughter.
Because we share DNA, my mom, my sister and I are all roughly the same size and body shape at the same age, so I could theoretically fit into my mom's wedding dress. But, my mom was buff and had to rip the seams out of her lace sleeves to fit into her dress.
@@kiwin7119 man i dont even know what my moms wedding dress looks like. She left it at my grandparents house on the other side of the world and i never remembered to ask her to take it out so i can look at it. Although 1 i would never wear it and 2 my mom and my sister both have a totally different body shape from me. Their bone structure is in itself is different im more like my grandma so it wouldnt fit anyways
" If you want vintage look, you got the original vintage" Monte nailed it😄 All things aside, mom's dress is actually gorgeous. Better than some of the dresses I saw in SYTD.
