What they don’t mention is that the veil is an additional cost, as well as the alterations, which can be nearly as much as the dress. It’s not just the dress that you have to consider as part of the budget.

[@Brizlebird]

What a beautiful bride …and her entourage were so stylish and supportive.

[@HeronCoyote1234]

This is exactly the look she was going for. Beautiful bride, gorgeous dress, wonderful friends and family. And that was so sweet of her entourage to help with the cost.

[@kanyebreast6072]

She shouldnt be expecting her entourage to pay for her dress. Her and her fiance make plenty of money, they are both BARRISTERS. She could easily pay more for the dress. She is just a tightass who didnt want to. Imagine expecting a huge Princess Diana style wedding dress full of bling for less than a grand!!

[@jscho8674]

I loved this bride. She's a lawyer. So she has brains. She absolutely gorgeous. Plus she has such wonderful friends, which I'm sure are a reflection of her own goodness as well. Great episode.

[@jessiejoseph1093]

She is a sweet and considerate bride, and her family is awesome!

[@DannyJane.]

The dress was great, but the real beauty was that she had such loving friends willing to chip in and make her dream come true.

[@EVERGLOW828]

This brides entourage was the most loving and kind group I’ve seen on the show. Beautiful

[@lauramason5667]

I fell in love with her the minute she said she wanted to look regal. How refreshing and what a beautiful bride. 🤍🤍🤍

[@RosettaStoned462]

It is! I'm not sure why so many brides want form fitting dresses that honestly look like prom dresses and nothing special. This is the one time to look like a princess!

[@rachelcookie321]

I definitely want to look regal on my wedding day. I wish I could look regal everyday.

[@user-vl8qw8hp1g]

Uwa is absolutely stunning in that dress! Her friends and family were wonderful to help her buy it!! ❤❤❤

[@mariaedwards6371]

I just loved that the mom increased the budget but didn't exactly jump when they were told the price. And yes she did say she would take care if it but she didn't say a thing when the friends agreed to cheap in

[@RevLeigh55]

I love it when brides come in wanting a Royal styled wedding dress but only want to pay 1,000 for it.

[@WhirledPublishing]

She's spending plenty on her reception - but only 1,000 for her gown - and she's a lawyer ...

[@MsJubjubbird]

@@WhirledPublishing who knows what other exenses they have. Maybe they just bought a really nice home in London and are having an amazing honeymoon. Then got carried away on all the wedding expenses

[@exoticme4760]

Which I think is fine ...

[@ysbyttybedbug]

She could easily get it for that price, but not in that shop.

[@marciabenson9371]

Very touching; the love between these women!

[@lucytustian2482]

Showing a customer a dress that is pretty much double her maximum budget is SO bad. They should be ashamed of themselves. It is so unfair on the bride - and in this case her family and friends, too.

[@camellia8625]

She is a barrister marrying a barrister and she did in fact give express verbal permission to up the budget to get the look she asked for. What does she expect …. that designers and seamstresses and shop owners and workers are not paid properly. She can always go secondhand to get something more extravagant for her desired low price point.

[@virginiaboone9503]

And it was unrealistic of her to want a “Royal” dress for the budget she had. The mother actually told David that he could show her daughter more expensive gowns, which one would assume meant that she would fund. Miscommunication?

[@jazlen20]

Was said to go over the budget. What she was looking for in that store probably wasn’t very possible at her budget.

[@mariesmith1616]

The bride should be embarrassed of going public as a cheapskate

[@joywebster2678]

I want Lady Diana's dress, here's 1000 pounds.

[@eleanorcooke7136]

That'll get you a table cloth and styrofoam shoulder pads.

That is a wonderful story. She looked beyond beautiful. Her friends and family helping her to make her wedding dress dream come true is a true testament of ya'lls love and friendship of love for the bride. Thank ya'll for that love and kindness to her.

I, after 26 seconds in the vid: "Girl, no matter what you put on for your wedding, everybody is going to drool over you". What a beauty!

[@trayciepitcher3098]

The dress is beautiful, but i think she would look better in a sweetheart.

I always wonder when the bride states her budget, is she including the cost of fittings, veil, shoes, etc.?

[@danielledenis5160]

Katherine's dress was AMAZING

I loved princess Eugenie's dress

[@rivertam7827]

Diana's dress was an 80s monstrosity. Kate's was elegant and timeless.

[@kanyebreast6072]

Catherine's dress is in the Royal wedding dress Hall of Fame!! She outshone everyone by miles!! But i did love Eugenies dress too

[@user-vp4qq4it7i]

Diana's dress was very much made for the times, and like it or not, was certainly iconic... Kate's dress wasn't unusual in the slightest; it was quite plain. I was surprised at how totally ordinary it was.

[@csandford6011]

Princess Diana was like Cinderella. She even had her Prince. She's was such a gorgeous woman.

[@valeriemarott1923]

She didn't have her prince. From the beginning he was a lying, cheating toad. You're right about the dress and Diana though.

[@jennymoore2083]

​@@leilaan9344 that's what I thought she meant to. But I thought she said Barrister, when her budget was 1,000 I then thought she must have said Barista. She looked beautiful in that gown but wanting a royal wedding with a 1,000 budget for the gown, I wonder if she was pulling the wool over everybody's eyes.

Erm this bride IS wealthy. Both her and her fiance are BARRISTERS. Use your ears.

[@kanyebreast6072]

@@jennymoore2083 Haha barrister or barista 🤣. So true though. Bride was a complete tightass

[@Account-xm6vj]

You cant get cheap and lavish at a bridal store that charges a premium, or has high quality dresses. If you want something lavish on a budget, thrift, secondhand, and middling quality stores can give you that. If you want something premium and high quality on a budget, you're going to have to keep the style very simple. I would personally opt for the first option.

[@womanonabicycle]

£1000 doesn't seem much to budget for a dress if you and your partner have well paid jobs and are planning a regal themed central London wedding 🤔

[@kanyebreast6072]

Exactly. Pair of tightwads

[@fitforlifefoodies]

I didn't really understand the mother. Her daughter was paying for the dress herself, the mom just sat there. Then she said they could go over budget but didn't come out and offer to make up the difference--her friends pitched in. Weird.

Both the bride and groom are lawyers but can’t up the budget. Mom is like the bride living by the means of others.

Wrong bridal shop & consultants for the word BUDGET. Sorry, David/Kim should never ask...if they can't deliver. Luckily the mom stepped up...but I swear I saw the "$$ Cha-ching $$" gleam in his eyes when she did. This bride wasn't realistic and she went to the "used car" salesperson of the wedding shop world

I don’t get it, she says she’s a barrister & her fiancé is also a barrister. That’s higher up than than a lawyer!! Where’s the money at lady? She should be rolling in it. A one thousand pound budget for a barrister. I wouldn’t even embarrass myself to go into that store & ask for what she wanted on that budget. And then the fake crying,cornering her mates to pay the difference. 2 barristers getting married & not enough dough for a dresss?

I appreciate that her friends and family were so generous to help her get her dream dress. But in my opinion it did nothing for her. I didn't like the way the high neckline cut her off, the white mesh against her gorgeous skin tone, or the long sleeves. Those things looked kind of matronly, dated and larger on top. She was hidden by the dress. I actually thought the first dress was gorgeous and really flattered her figure. It was on budget too!

Sorry, David, Diana’s dress will not go down as an iconic fabulous dress. It was right for the time, but now it looked dated and tacky, and it was wrinkly the whole day because it was the wrong fabric choice for how she had to travel to the Abbey.
