@@teresaotworth1684 the dress didn't have any sparkle and was mostly tulle. Its all about the material and labor put into making a dress. A big tulle skirt doesn't actually cost as much as a fitted satin skirt. Also, lace can be produced by a machine in bulk and then applied strategically to a skirt and corset. Whereas beading and Crystals must be applied by hand.

I married into a Cypriot family, had the whole Big Fat Greek Wedding including the dress which by the end of the first dance was covered in money. English friends stuck $2 coins on me, others put rows of $100 notes and in total ended up with enough $ to pay for half of our first house. .... oh and all guests also gave us presents.

I'm not Greek but my family was completely involved in my wedding. Grooms,mother made the cake, grooms sister in law made the little mints for the cake table. The 2 of them together made the table decorations. My younger sister did the flowers, my older brother gave me away as my father had passed away, my sister and brother in law were matron of honor. and groomsmen, my niece was Jr bridesmaid and nephew was ring bearer. My grooms brother and sister in law were bridesmaid and best man. The grooms children were flower girl, Jr groomsman and ring bearer. We each had 1 friend as bridesmaid and groomsman. My mother paid for the church and Minister and caterer. As I said it was a total family affair and was absolutely perfect. The day couldn't have been any better. It wasn't a huge wedding, about 200 people. We were fortunate enough to have a photographer as well as a videographer. One from the front of the church and the 2nd from the pack,. No one helped me pick out my dress as I made it and all the dresses for the wedding party. I also made my grooms tuxedo as well as tuxedos for the young boys. I had the perfect wedding that I had always dreamed of and didn't have to spend a small fortune to do it. I waa working at a formal wear store at the time so I could have bought a dress had I chosen to but I had always dreamed of making my own dress. I had made many dresses in the past so I was up for the challenge and I finished all the clothing in 6 weeks time as that's all the time we had to plan our wedding

I believe there's a "big" dress for every bride but it has to be proportioned just right for the individual bride. The second dress fit her torso better and at least gave her some shape.

[@BasicYTHandle]

The sample of the 2nd dress fit her fairly well, whereas the sample of the 1st gown was several sizes too big - if it had been in her size, it would have "fit her torso. . .and [have given] her some shape."

[@starzzzy22]

@@BasicYTHandle Maybe... But I thought the first dress had too long of a torso for her, even with the proper size, it hit too low on her waist. But you could be right of course.

[@kyliepechler]

@@BasicYTHandle That is right. They didn't bother to use the normal "clips" at the back of the first sample dress that they normally use to to tighten the bodice around the bride. Not clipping it at the back, made it appear to be slipping down her torso, because it was loose.

[@mindyw2411]

She’s such a delicate little lady. The first sample dress just swallowed her. I’m not sure that it could have been clipped to make it look better. Perhaps if they pinned the dresses like Gok does…

The first dress was double the size she required. It really interfered with the fit. And I don't think the plunging back really suited her. The second dress was pretty and demure which seemed to fit her style more.

When I saw Mum AND four aunties were there, I thought they would never find a dress that suited everyone. David pulled it together.

The first bride was really quite petite and lovely. The second bride just had too many people involved in the decision.

[@alanamarie7114]

I love the Greek music that started playing when the bride walked out in the first dress

[@erigirl9358]

in our country we dont put the money in the dress but there will be someone sitting infront of the door who will be receiving the money from guests also while the bride and groom dance people will put money on them and that will be couple of thousands. sometimes it even covers the wedding expenses and on bridal shower we give gifts to the bride who will help her for her future house

The dress she chose was beautiful. It reminded me of A Cinderella Story.

The uncle being her hairdresser is such a Greek thing 😂

[@sabi_stray83]

He says it's a skirt the size of the store, wondering if it will be big enough for her entourage...and across the pond in New York, Randy is laughing at a the idea of a dress he has in the back that has a train the length of a city block...probably designed by himself or Pnina Tornai

I'm guessing it wasn't in London? There are restrictions on guest sizes placed by venues.

@@sophitsa79 no it wasn't in London. In India there's no such restrictions it's all based on the venue size.

It’s so weird seeing a bridal shop in a mall, especially with a series like this.

Did the mother really say $40k?? I could never. I’d rather buy a car with that money 💀😂

£40k pinned on the dress, not the budget for the dress.
