Will This Bride Find Her Dream Fairytale Princess Dress? | Say Yes To The Dress UK 

I agree!

I think it had more to do with her budget though 😔

@@ayobamiifeoluwa7449 I know Lancashire has definitely shown dresses that were within her budget and similar to what she is wanting.

Gok would've had her sorted.

From my retail sales experience, I agree 💯 with you. The dresses she pulled were not anything special. I’m sorry but if you want the WOW factor it comes with a price tag in shops like that. If her budget was 3k , the sales woman would have been pulling the more elaborate and elegant gowns. 👰‍♀️ 👏👍🤩💗

No kidding! He has such beautiful gowns and he has an eye for matching gown to bride!

So true!!! Love my Auntie Gok too!!

Absolutely! Auntie Gok would of had her all the way together.

I’m afraid you are right. He would have nailed this one!

They ask for budget, say ‘no problem’ because they ignore it anyway

I feel like it’s usually this consultant that goes over budget. I could be wrong though

they absolutely have cheaper dresses but not with a whole lot of bling and not generally in the princess style. but this place massively overprices their dresses anyway, it's completely possible to find a bedazzled cinderella dress under 1500 as long as you don't go to a fancy shop with its own TV show.

Not that much. It is London- the store owner is paying London overheads and wages to be competitive with other London businesses- with city designers an. Plus if you want more bling it means more ka-ching

When the consultant Said ”No problem” when they gave the budget I hoped to be surprised with dresses within budget

@Dianne Bernau Gok has gone over budget. And some of his episodes dont even bring up the budget, so the viewers never know if he went over or not. So don't act like Gok is magic. If this bride came into the store he works in (and doesn't own BTW) he would also have a tough time getting the dress to "click all of her boxes" without going over. Even with the Essence of Australia gowns his store carries (which are usually cheaper than many designers in this store).

Gok has pulled things that are too expensive. They all want to show how much glitz and glamour can cost. Some women are not realistic about what things cost.

Bling cost money, if you want the bling bring the money.

If you listen, Gok is helping.

Only tine he comes up with low budget dresses is if the bride have a 5-10 k budget. Then he have ton of 1k dresses to show

@Anni Carlson You are not looking for what the bride wants. She wants bling details and "Disney" type glamour. No one will be able to find them at that price. "Auntie Gok" does not have Pnina gowns. This store does. Brides should be more cognizant of what store they are choosing and not expect every store to have the same dresses. And BTW, some brides go to the higher end store like this one FOR the designers they have in stock. Lancashire would not be a candidate for these brides, so not all stores are for every bride. And Lancashire is not magic, and I have seen them go over budget, even with the smaller name designers. Why? Because the bride's budget was too small for what she was looking for. Somehow Gok gets a pass while this store always gets dumped on. Maybe ALL of Gok's clients have emotional back stories and you are loving the store he works in because of the emotional, cathartic nature of his episodes. Then you overlook all the times he does all the things you complain about with this store.

A ball gown would have made her look even shorter. She mentioned that that was an issue for her. Some petite brides don't care about that, but she does. And Gok does not have the same dresses this store has. And he isn't even in charge of buying the dresses Lancashire carries. The dresses in this store are all higher end (except the Dando London) so of course they will be more expensive. If this bride thought that her small budget was more important than the designer gowns in this store, she would have gone somewhere else. But she came here. Therefore, the chance that she could get all that she was looking for with £1500 or less was slim to none. Actually, it would have been difficult for Gok to not go over budget (as he has in the past) as well. She wanted Disney and bling. That costs real money.

Yep! I laughed to myself when she said that, she is never respectful of their budget! Either this shop purposely doesn't carry enough dresses in this price range or they just need to be honest and say, what you are looking for will be higher than your budget!

Wait a minute. This store carries what it carries. It is not the store's fault she came here looking for a designer gown with bling and feeling like she "looks like a Princess." She should have gone to a budget bridal store, because even most of the dresses in Lancashire with her requests are more expensive. There are several reasons why she came here looking for a dress: she wanted a designer gown she wanted to be on TV her budget was more negotiable. None of these things are the store's fault.

@@catladyfromky4142 they should state that prior to putting her into dresses over her budget in the hope the bride will love it and try to find a way to pay for the unaffordable dress.

Her budget was unrealistic for the style of dress she wants

I have noticed that as well

You’re absolutely right.

@shumica She wanted Disney-type glamour and beading. How were they supposed to NOT go over her meager £1500 budget? Even "Auntie Gok's" dresses go over that with those details. When you complain about this store, you HAVE to examine what the brides want and how much they can spend to get it. You want all these details for no money. Sorry, but NO store, with name designers, will be able to deliver. Why don't you complain about these brides choosing this store when they have no money to spend but want all the bells and whistles? This store has designer gowns. If she wanted "Essence of Australia" gowns she should have gone to a store that has them. But she didn't, so here we are, with the consultant trying to find her a gown she loves. The bride can always say no. Her job is to find her a gown so she can make a decision. It is better to give her a choice than not, but you would rather let her leave without even seeing if they have a gown she likes. How unproductive of you.

@@catladyfromky4142 you have a lot of time on your hands to write this novel, Paula. How unproductive of you!

@@shumica7265 I am not working today, so I don't need to be productive. Besides, your comment to me did nothing to refute my points. Think about that.

Her story on applying didn’t come in the criteria for Gok 🤦‍♀️ Body issues and self esteem issues get you sent to Gok

a commenter after my own heart! 😍 i thought the exact same thing, a dropped waist corset back or a-line would have looked much better.

I was gonna comment the same exact thing tbh! I ranted to my fiancé about this and he completely agrees with me on this.

Discussed this under another video. I ask myself every time where the A - Line dresses are?! This shape suits many brides. Besides that, I think mermaid looks awful on most bodies 🤷🏻‍♀️

They don't seem to want to show dropped waist dresses at all. Big skirt and perfect if have short torso so you look wierd in proportions sometimes if skirt goes to big a d fluffy at waist that sit closer to the sisters

Yep, a few examples with that design is all the consultant needed to pull, and the bride would have found one. This consultant wrongly wanted her to go for a whole different design (mermaid) than what the Bride explicitly said she wanted.

Right? Not all ball gowns are built the same. Just because one doesn't flatter her doesn't mean that no others will.

Definitely a corseted gown regardless of which shape she chose, however drop waist would’ve made her proportions really off. Drop waist rarely flatters anyone. The only body type I feel drop waist looks alright on is a super thin tall frame and even then there’s much more flattering looks. But yes if they had shown her a ball gown with a corset I’m sure she wouldn’t have switched her preference so quickly. I do love mermaids, but she’s been dreaming of ballgowns (which I also love) since childhood so they definitely should’ve shown her more. I feel like this should’ve been a very easy appointment

Yup

Plus, I’m sure, they charge extra for alterations. 😡

By a MASSIVE amount

@Michelle Mercer Did you not notice all that she wanted? She wanted bling and to look "like a Disney princess." All these things cost, and are more than £1500, even in Lancashire. All these details cost money, and it is not Confetti and Lace's fault. If the bride wanted to find a cheaper dress, she should have gone to a British equivalent of David's Bridal instead of this one that carries top name designer gowns. The consultant's job is to find her a dress she loves as close to the price point as she can. But you would rather the consultant stop trying so the bride may have to come back to this store after she increases her budget. The bride could have said no when putting on these dresses. The price tags were clearly on them, so she could have looked or asked if it was that important to her. The bride is a big girl, and she can do it.

@@catladyfromky4142 I agree to an extent. These consultants paycheck comes through commission. The higher the price,the more in their pocket. If this is their goal by putting these brides in an over-priced gown,then shame on them. That’s what I feel they are doing. They very rarely respect these families budgets. There’s a reason there’s a cap put in place.

Same here. The second I saw her I knew this would be a budget buster.

£1500 for bling and Disney princess? No store can deliver that unless it may be a David's Bridal type store. Brides who are on TV have plenty of time to research the types of dresses and the prices. If they don't do the work, it is not the store's fault.

Come on you fools!! She wanted a HUGE Disney princess dress and tons of beading and bling for only 1,200??? She was being so greedy and tight fisted, of course the consultant went over budget!! There's no way to find a dress like that for such a low amount of money. The bride needs to flap the moths away from her purse and actually PAY for what she's looking for!!

@@catladyfromky4142 Spot on!! 👍

One was a 1k over the budget, shocking. Why didn't she put her in a drop waist ballgown?

It would have solved all the problems. I have no idea why the consultant didn't get her a few dresses like that to try on!

Right? The first one was high-waisted and shapeless. She needed to try something with a slightly lower waist and more structure.

Tbh it's because of how much of a profit they gotta make either per day/per year it all depends . I'm sure if they could they'd lower the prices so these brides can afford it

No. These are designer gowns. The store's buyer can either pick these designers or others, but the prices are more based on what the designers sell them for. We cannot squeeze blood from a turnip. Most of the gowns in this store START at £1500. And dresses like this bride wants are going to be expensive. The store is not a charity. Brides looking for cheaper designers should NOT come here. If they want expensive details at less than £1500 at ANY store, they are delusional.

I agree. I just made a similar comment. She should be taken off the show..

It was probably more over her budget. Her budget was only £1500. Most of the dresses in the store are over that. And ones with lots of detail that she wanted are a lot more over her budget. And if the consultant had put her in that dress, even more people here would complain about "never respecting the bride's budget." I am sure that either she or her entourage would have seen that dress and pulled it if it would have suited her desires within her budget. Too bad she didn't like the last one, because I thought it was really pretty on her.

😂

Exactly🫶🏼!!!!!!

nah, it made her look too wide in the hips. i think she was too quick to nix the princess gowns, just because the first one she tried on was high-waisted and too big on her. a dropped waist or A-line corset back would have still nipped in her waist without making her look like a pixar mom lol

@@dietotaku I agree

Nah girl you have your priorities straight! Focus on your future marriage and setting you both up well. I bought a pink dress for $120 as my wedding dress and had a very small outdoor wedding. Instead, we used the funds on our then just bought house. I don’t regret putting my husband/marriage first instead of getting a $1000+ dress that I’d wear only once, or on an expensive wedding. ☺️

They don't have a lot of dresses cheaper than £1200. The ones they so carry are plainer, because they are still designer gowns. If she had wanted plain, she could have gotten it here. Look at all the other brides in this series who get what they ask for from this store. It is because their expectations actually MEET their budget. Put some onus on the brides for coming here in the first place.
