The picky bride just can't seem to make up her mind and makes the staff at Bridals by Lori wait 3 hours after closing. Catch Say Yes to the Dress on TLC - Sky 133, Virgin 162, BT TV 323
So right! Politely give her the heads-up half an hour before closing that the appointment needs to end at whatever time and if she can't choose a dress today, they'll be happy to reschedule another appointment with her. Really disrespectful to Flo, Robin and all the other staff to keep them hanging around so long after closing.
Ladies, before anything else, this is a reality tv show. This bridal shop company has a day rate and a contract. They are making a very decent paycheck as well as receiving great exposure and advertisement. Coming back another day is not in the budget or time for either production or talent, moreso production. And the bridal company is not just "talent" but a business, so they have to also do what's best for business. So for one episode they have to put every bit of drama they can because that's why we tune in! I worked in reality tv and just entertainment industry in general. Learned some things! ☺️
I didn't like working retail because of this type of customer. Everyone knows the hours and should be respectful of everyones time. Rude! Why do these type of women get married. BS
right?! i work in retail and get pissed when customers are in the store 10 minutes after close!! hell as soon as we close the doors i get frustrated with customers 😂 these consultants are tough cookies for sure
I have no idea what the staff were doing. We had to throw people out. Weren’t insured to have people on site after hours and staff certainly wouldn’t be able to stay. Bus home, child care commitments etc.
@@dees3179 yeah i’m hoping this situation was just exaggerated for television and it actually wasn’t as big of a deal as it seems here, cause as it’s presented to us the bride comes off as very disrespectful and not at all self aware
If this woman knows she’s very picky and very indecisive, then she should’ve made an appointment way earlier in the day, to not only have more time to try on dresses but allow the shop to close at its normal time and allow all employees to leave
i thought that too but the consultant probably would have had other brides to see after this girl and so then she would have taken up their time instead
Rude to her entourage too. What's the point of bringing people if you're going to leave them waiting for most of the appointment? I get the impression that she just forgot herself a bit though - picking a dress on TV is a weird and stressful experience so she might not have noticed how much time had passed.
I get the impression you end up on a waiting list for places like this, though. Can she have gotten an appointment far enough in advance to both order and do the alterations in time for a wedding? The last dress truly was lovely, she made a good choice.
When I go shopping for ANYTHING I go alone. That way I can shop at my pace whether it is for clothing (with the trying task of trying things on), housewares, hardware store, groceries, tires, etc. When I am on a task that is going to require making decisions, the last thing in the world that I want to contend with is someone else's agenda and impatience because I am taking "too long". The only time (in a more perfect world, certainly not during COVID) I am out and about with another person is when I get together with a friend to catch a movie (yeah, there is that decision bugaboo again, which one, but easily overcome) and/or to get a bite to eat ....... the latter is preferable because then we can talk and catch up with what has been going on in our lives and our kids' lives. But shopping, NOPE! Oh, and by the way, my friends feel the same way.
@@rachelmm05 honestly I don’t know how the woman who was fitting her in the dress could stay that long like come one THREE HOURS I’d be ready to loose my patience
Seems like she should just have come back for a 2nd appointment so she’d have some time to think it over. Or maybe she should have looked at dresses online first so she could have more clearly stated what she wanted in the dress. :/
she's just terrified of commitment. look how long it took her to even get together with the groom. she'll say yes to that dress then come back a week later "NO I CHANGED MY MIND I WAS PRESSURED INTO IT I'M NOT READY." bet she doesn't even make it down the aisle. honestly what flo & robin should have said is "if you love everything about this dress but the price, let us talk to lori and make it more affordable for you" and then behind the bride's back just be like "mom, checkbook, now" let the bride think it was cheaper, it wasn't her money anyway and the one paying was fine with it.
Imma be real, I think the reason why she was so indecisive about the dress was that she didn't want to get married. In the beginning, she just said that they “finally committed after 10 years”. Maybe I'm reading too much into this but she doesn't seem to want to get married
Maybe because she wanted a light flowing dress because it’ll be in the heat and she didn’t get one until the 8th or 9th dress. The whole thing was highly exaggerated for tv as well. She was incredibly concideratw to pass on a dress that would cost her family too much money so I highly doubt she had any kind of malice and purposely made them stay open/ the workers made that choice and could have asked her to book another appt. but didn’t. You can’t rush something like this or pressure them as it’ll come back to really screw you later after hours and hours of detailing she may change her mind and not want it - so they need to be 100% sure I also for the record Reaearxhwd and they are still together. Being together for 10 years shows it’s not going to end ... my parents where together 19 years before they got legally married Many people had common law marriage until it was ambolised :)
I also wonder if she's made terrible mistakes in the past, that she just didn't want to decide too quickly and make a wrong choice..... whether that's a bridal gown or even choosing a husband.... I've seen people go through terrible PTSD that extremely alters their thinking in decision making.
Everyone’s quick to judge brides when they want to go over budget, like “they are so mean”, “so inconsiderate” and I literally scrolled the comments to see if anyone noticed how she said her mom wants the budget to be under 5000 but she wants to be near 1500. Guess bad is everything we see. Smh
Yes she is sweet and kind and all that but that is still rude to keep them folks three hours after closing. The crew. the people getting her the dresses. Her own grandma was ready to go. Glad she found a dress.
Merry Christmas to you too!❤ I'm actually alone, I live with my mum and wanted a break...so theyvecall hone ti my sis in laws for Christmas breakfast. So it's a non-fatshaming, low level narcissist free Christmas morning for me, I can relax with my chubby socks and pyjamas on ...drink, eat and enjoy my morning freely...no nagging etc Bliss ❤ Need my own place 2021
I also have to analyze everything. So, I’m somewhat surprised that she went in without a clue. I would have been scouring pictures for weeks if not months and had definite plan when I got to the appointment. I can’t understand how someone could be analytical and indecisive. That would frustrate me to no end.
Seeing a dress in a photo and/or on someone else is completely different to seeing it on you. But I agree it did not seem like she looked into dresses at all
I can somehow relate to her or at least understand her. I'm super analytical when it comes to making a decision or purchasing something. For example if I want to buy an eyeshadow palette I can take hours and hours of research, looking for reviews, the looks I would create, the colors in different lightings, the best prices, comparing similar palettes, I would go to stores to see the palette just to be sure and not actually buying it... I can prepare myself for the situations and STILL be super indecisive because I'm always thinking I can make a better choice. If I ever get married I know it's going to be nightmare to choose my dress but I wouldn't be inconsiderate like this bride.
@@karly.asshhh yeah, me too... I'm getting married and i'm so terrified of the shopping of the wedding dress.. but i would never waste the employees time
*Same here!!!* I extremely surprised myself by getting a completely different dress than what I thought I wanted, in the first store!! I had done months or years of looking and researching before though 🤣🤣
Lori made the decision but reality is Most normal places would have def made her make another appointment!! If the cameras weren't involved would this really have happened like this?!?
I couldn’t hold someone for three hours especially AFTER closing time. Plus with her being indecisive it makes it harder. But I’m glad she found her dress😊, even if Robin looks like she was about to kill someone.
@@70SapphiresI agree. I have a daughter who was like this at age 14. I refused to make decisions for her. And she really wanted me to. She is now 25 and thanks me for teaching her to make her own decisions, even when it was so hard not to!
The first dress is just plain ugly. On the second dress, the bottom of the gown is elegant. The bodice of the third dress is very flattering. Listen to Mom. You have to make a decision or go home. At some point in time, it's time to tell the bride to come back for a second appointment.
Probably a combination of designer name, the fabric and the detail of the stitching. Cos that dress had them folds all over it (i think called ruching).
Yeap I can totally relate. I am so scared of choosing my dress when it will be my time. I have gone through a gazillion pictures on Pinterest to see what I like but I'm scared of how I would feel during the appointment.
She seems a little embarrassed by the fact that she's getting married at 32, which in my opinion is perfectly fine. However, I would not be OK with waiting 10+ years to finally get married.
@@yrozord In the South, it's still pretty common for women under 30 to get married so by Southern standards she is an "older" bride. I personally think 32 is a great age to get married as long as the time is right and the person you're marrying treats you with love and respect.
When she's overanalyzing, it sounds like anxiety- as if she's trying to be prepared for anything that might happen. So I understand that, HOWEVER, there is such a thing as too much overanalyzing and I think someone should've said something to calm her nerves
This is every specialty retailer’s nightmare. Customers who nitpick every single thing and don’t know how to articulate what they want changed/fixed so you don’t know what to present them so that the next option will please them more.
She seemed really sweet the way she was conscious of being under her mom's budget. I feel like she was pressured to make a choice, it should be okay for a bride to walk away, do some research, and come back for a second appointment before making a final decision.
As annoying as she was to keep the store open.. she is very thoughtful to not want to cost her mum more than 1.5k when she was given 5k to spend.. shows a good heart..
All the things aside, comparing to the brides who force their parents to go wayy over budget, I respect her for lowering the budget limit even though her mother is willing to pay more 💜
To those who posted nasty comments and where unable to see past the title of the video - really should be ashamed of yourselves! Here’s a lady who finds a dress she loves and refuses to buy it because it’ll cost her family too much! We don’t know her story and they may be struggling financially- the fact she put her happiness behind their finances really shows you she couldn’t be further from a rude or inconciserate peraon! She clearly asked for a light flowing dress for warm climate and literally didn’t get one on for what 8 dresses? No one said a word about closing - they could have asked her to return the following day or whatever else - and lastly - this is also a television show people! Everything is overly exaggerated. I just think it’s disgusting how many nasty comments are here after she turned down the dress she wanted not because she’s picky but because she cares about her family and couldn’t bare for them to spend so much on her dress. Imagine how she felt... every dress after just didn’t match up because she already found THE dress for her, sadly. I mean am I THE ONLY ONE to see this? Come on!
When she said she is 32, there was a nervous laugh. Am I the only one who felt her being too nervous about she getting married at 32 .. Why is she feeling so stressed? She was considerate about the budget though. All we see most of the brides wanting to spend more but she didn't want her mother to spend so much money. She is very stressed.
This is her first time wedding dress shopping and she doesn’t feel okay with spending $ 3500 of her parents’ money. Why does the show make it seem like she’s being inconsiderate for not wanting to spend so much money or taking her time to think things over? Also I’ve never been wedding dress shopping but I assume all the appointments are booked with set blocks of time. Was it really her decision to stay that long after hours and even if the shop wanted to close up why didn’t they just ask her to make another appointment another day??
Honey ..... she needs to make her decisions.... it’s gonna be way harder for her in the future...... that poor girl is struggling here to take decisions
When she said that she was bad at making decisions it made me wonder if when her fiancé asked her to marry him she was like should I or should I not marry him.
She, most likely, has some form of an anxiety disorder. The indecisiveness, disassociateing(“gone mute”), commitment issues(waiting 10 years to say yes to an engagement) and the nitpicking of each dress shows it. And yes keeping staff after hours is rude and bad but I don’t think she really understood what she was doing since when you disassociate you, usually, loose track of time and can forget where you are or what you are doing. She seems like a very nice girl just a little anxious and nervous.
It is not the bride who is picky, it is the consultants who do not know their stock. The final dress should have been their first choice, being super light and flowy, like the bride said she wants her dress to be. She looks great in it, perfectly comfortable, very nice on her figure, great colour. It was absolutely worth the while!
She definitely needed two appointments. I totally can relate to the need to analyze allll the details before making a decision but you also have to be considerate of other people's time.
Yea I wasn't convinced at all..she said I think I'm gonna say yes... if Flo didn't push her a bit they would've been there even longer trying to help this lady decide on a dress. Smh
I’m curious if she really went with the dress on her wedding day. She looked very indecisive even with her last pick 🤔 I also don’t think it’s about the price, it’s about committing to the dress itself.
Or just understanding once you decide on the dress now you have to plan a wedding and prepare to be a wife. For a indecisive person that a rollercoaster of decisions... very exhausting for anyone who has wait on her to make up her mind
6:04 “I can sense people are getting tired” NO DUHH WHEN YOU MAKE THOSE POOR POEPLE WORK 3 WHOL HOURS AFTER CLOSING SHE LITERLY SAID SHE WANT TO BANG HER HEAD ON THE WALL WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY ARE HAVING THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES?!
I just don't know why they didn't ask her to come back another day 🤷 if her appointment is over and the store is closed then I think they have the right to ask her!
There are some people like me who tell who spends soo much on a wedding dress But then there come people like me again who are like thankfull for these brides so that we get to see these things😂
Seemed to me like she just forgot her age and had to take a second to remember. I do it all the time. She even looked up like people do when they are trying to search their brain for something.
I love the fact that she was concern about the budget that her mother is giving wherein other brides wouldn't even consider. But her being indecisive is a hell NO for me.
@J Fl it was her first time, i don't find it wrong to find until it satisfies her in every aspect rather I'm always like how can someone choose a dress out of 3 ! It's mostly because they've tried before, she hadn't so yep i find it funny and unusual but great!
I used to work in a dress shop and believe you me, I've had customers like that. Some of them try every dress on & decide not to buy anything leaving you with a mess to clean up after they leave.
"I just wanted to bang my head against a wall, I really do." I love that Lori is such a professional a person and also feels exactly the same way I do about dealing with customers.
@Kaylee Reese in the real world you have to make important decisions; mortgage, housing, children. They can’t wait forever for decisions to be made. Some of these decisions are time limited. If she hasn’t decided, who do you think will ?
Analysing the most important dress of your life is fine. She needs to look at other stores to make sure there's not another one out there. Before making a commitment. She was pressured into getting a dress. I bet she eventually cancelled it and hope she did, after finding The One and having her Bridal Moment.
Imagine being a consultant and pretty much making commission only and wanting to make a dollar to keep your food on the table and a roof over your head and this woman walks in 🤦🏻♀️
She is one of those most annoying customers who a sales person hates having. Coming In last min, confused and indecisive n don’t even think that the poor sales girls have to go home too. They have their families too.
The family was so polite and nice. Then the girl buying the dress was so stressed out. It was hard to watch. I'm glad they finally got.it. Figured out.
