Bride was a legend for sticking to her budget and her priorities 💪💥

[@marinam.2293]

Such a refreshing attitude! I get so annoyed with brides bragging about being Daddy's girl, and he'll pay for whatever she wants... grow up! This young woman is awesome. 👍

[@robinking6342]

For sure! I loved this one!

[@MarionHogan-m5i]

She is so strong and her sisters made it so difficult for her. ❤

[@MarlaJMatney]

Love the dress the bride chose

[@Maaikedjg]

Yes exactly!! I absolutely love this for her!

[@rebeccaernette1749]

"It doesn't matter what she wants." I gagged when I heard that. Randy was right, if you're not going to pull out your wallet, don't go over the brides budget

[@katielove9932]

But her mother said not to worry about the price. It just wasn't explained what she meant by that!

[@sevenoctobers7471]

"Wait until we have to take out the wallets though. Let's see whose wallet comes and whose doesn't." Seems like the bride has heard her family say before that they'll take care of the money, but eventually they weren't able to.

[@graceb1949]

Randy should tell his own consultants the same! They're always pulling dresses over budget!

[@donnabradley9926]

How dare the sisters and other people with this young bride dare to pull dresses over the budget. I admire this young bride so much.

[@heatherburns813]

Why didn't they make the difference up ??$. Honestly 🤦‍♀️

[@ramekalawson7956]

That makes me so mad when the family picks dresses that's over budget, then don't offer to pay 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

They are fat and jealous

[@vathgriffith]

They kinda helped her pick the right one. The design suited her so well

[@the.magic.catbus9459]

When she said “let’s see whose wallet comes out” said a lot. Said that she didn’t trust them to actually cover the extra cost.

[@jodybuchanan9373]

I know what she means! My daughter in law's narcissistic mother said she was paying for her daughter's dress and never did. She didn't do much for the wedding either. To this day, I can't stand the woman!!!

[@dreamsofturtles1828]

Sticking to her budget is more than about money- its a trust issue with her future husband. They made an agreement , holding to it builds trust with him.

[@kp4911]

Sadly, they are divorced.

And the consultant was such a champ! Found an almost identical dress in her price point. Well done, Diane!

[@marshhen]

It is nice to see a bride who is an adult and who has things in perspective. Buying a house and being able to afford it and a wedding is something an adult can keep in their head. She is not a vapid princess looking to be swept off into fantasy-land by some prince charming or an entitled child-like person who wants to be looked after. Her sisters are sabotaging her, nothing less.

[@zuzuspetals8323]

A lovely, practical bride. Kudos to her!

[@niman00]

I am proud of her for not giving in to her family. she looks beautiful, congrats.

[@findyourpassion8722]

I like the last dress even more than the one her twin sister picked. So beautiful and elegant and within the budget! Perfection

[@PastelCreationsByKatrina]

Totally 😊

[@mariesmith1616]

Not really but it’s sad that the sisters were so inconsiderate with the bride.

[@suzannek3493]

I agree !

[@timeforchange6818]

What a sweet bride. And I love how she and her future husband worked hard on the budget together, and she was going to stick to their plans. A true team that husband and wife should be. She looked stunning in her dress!

[@kp4911]

They are divorced, two sons. She's in a new relationship.

[@marymahar8446]

​@@kp4911 That's sad. How did you find out?

[@MLMLW]

Good for her for sticking to her budget. 👏 She looks beautiful in that dress.

[@seriliaykilel]

Serious props to the staff for giving her the dream dress within budget -- if you are pushing the bride for a higher budget, you need to foot the bill.

[@SandraHof]

I loved her when she said "I do not want to look like Barbie, I do not want to look like a Princess, and no nightgown looking dresses".

[@mimiwhite1963]

If they are not paying the difference then they need to stay out of it. The bride obviously didnt believe her Mom woud pay the difference

[@lar5928]

They should stay out of it either way, especially when the bride was clear on her price and expenditure priorities. Clearly a home and furniture mean more to her than a dress she will wear for a few hours.

[@crgirrard4210]

This bride and groom were planning more for the marriage and not just the wedding. Good for them! Many brides (and grooms too) can get caught up more in the wedding than planning for their marriage and going into a lot of debt to start off a marriage isn't the best idea. You can do some pretty amazing things on a budget. You just have to be creative about it and ask friends to help instead of hiring people to do everything. I know I did it!

[@jenniferandbama1284]

That family should be ashamed of themselves. If not paying butt out of the appointment

[@kthecarrot]

I despise families like this. Encouraging someone to be adventurous is different from ignoring their standards.

[@foxjacket]

Diane is an amazing consultant! She pulled it off and came in under budget! 👏👏👏

[@lalab4328]

What a lovely person the bride is! I also appreciate that she realizes while the wedding is important, it is nowhere near as important as the life together. PSA for all brides. Start your wedding dress shopping by saying, “Unless you are going to contribute money to the dress, do not pull anything over my budget.”

[@staceyshimabuku5423]

I love this bride. Very mature and practical. She had a budget and stuck to it. Her sisters were selfish; how dare they make it about THEIR dress. I'm sure they will later be surprised that Diane tricked them by changing the dress to one that LOOKED like the one that they chose, as opposed to the dress that was in Lindsey's budget. Way to go, Lindsay and Diane! 😊

[@s.susanmarandi9080]

Kudos to this beautiful young woman for being principled and wise beyond her years. And kudos to Diane for making sure that she ended up with a dress that she loved and that was within her budget.

[@johndoe-lm7ji]

Unless you willing to pay the difference, stop making her pay more.

[@mravina1614]

LOVE a level headed bride who knows her priorities. If you have money to throw, go for it. Otherwise focus on what really matters---your life after that one party!

[@tinalisapattern]

OMG... this bride could be a sister of Macauly Culkin. Those eyes...

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

[@KattyKat533]

Beautiful!

[@tg636]

I was thinking, just the same!

[@mariesmith1616]

I thought exactly the same.

[@MeryM.]

I also think she looks like Jennifer Garner. She's pretty and has an elegant style.

[@kunitherock]

her listing off things she could spend the money she would for a rly expensive dress was so real. i admire her for standing her ground and being honest abt not wanting to go over budget, i hope everything went perfect for her

[@YarnCrafts4lefties]

Decades ago a friend asked me to be the "gatekeeper" during her wedding dress shopping. Her rules were simple If it was over her price point and the person who picked it was not going to pay the difference I was instructed to tell them she will not be trying it on and put it back on the rack. If it was over her price point and the person was going to pay the difference she would try it on. Her sister and cousin picked 3 dresses. Each dress was between 3 to 4 thousand over her budget. They were unwilling to pay the difference. For them it was playing dress up. Those dresses never made it to the dressing room. They weren't happy but the bride was. Mission accomplished!

[@ladyjustice1474]

People have budgets for a reason. I would have called them out and asked who's paying for the dress they pulled?

[@Dalisay1973]

There is one thing that I don’t understand. Many brides have a very strict budget but they have spent a lot of money to travel to NYC to buy the dress so that adds to the cost of the dress.

[@ktwashere5637]

its so funny. I saw a family that flown across the country. Its madness. Do they not have bridal stores in LA.

[@ysbyttybedbug]

Good point, I hadn’t thought about that. Also, from what I understand, Kleinfelds is loads more expensive than the average bridal store. If you’re on a budget, shopping local seems the way to go.

[@ros8986]

Maybe the show pays for the air & hotel?

[@bdarci]

She came from Massachusetts, a reasonable drive or a train ride.

[@ysbyttybedbug]

@@bdarci that’s fair enough. My US geography isn’t very good! Mind you, Kleinfelds still seems like an expensive choice. But the dress she ended up with was perfect for her and within budget so I guess she knew what she was doing 😊

[@Itscannatella]

Unless you’re gonna help pay for it, then sit down and let the consultant do their job for the bride.

[@jennifernordhoff6478]

Why do people bring TOO MANY OPINIONS to a bridal appointment? Ridiculous and Annoying!

[@erynnlongenecker2672]

Loved the dress Lindsay's twin picked for her. Too bad the family couldn't chip in to make it happen. Shame on them. Good girl she was strong

[@mariesmith1616]

I agree.

[@chocoalmondfudge]

It has pockets too I think

[@stefaniamirri1112]

I SO understand her feeling to do not even be able to like a dress up to the point to buy it if you are not comfortable with the price point. Control and management of expenses is a part of expression of our adult self, which must show at the wedding moment as well, so well done to this bride to stand for her decision, also because a cip in of 100 from each member attending there could be achievable, to ask fir more would be too much, I totally understand and love this Bride. What I love too is how the Bridal Assistant run looking for something as much similar to the one she liked as close as possible to her budget, that made the sake, that was the only way for that Bride to get a dress on that day and the Assistant took her Bride at her heart rather than pushing highier for the benefit if the business. Well done everyones🎉🎉🎉🎉

@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj it's at the discretion of the producers. Apparently, the brides have to give the details of their family friends, colleagues, sports team mates etc and then the producers select.

what amazes me the most (other than the entourage busting the bride's budget without chipping in a dime AS ALWAYS) is that they had this doppleganger dress in her price point, with the pockets even. so just... why even carry the more expensive dress? why would anyone buy the more expensive one when they can have the exact same thing for half the price?

[@MLMLW]

I actually loved the first gown she tried on and so did she, but she clearly liked the $1,400 gown better.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

It’s similar but not exactly the same. I like the more expensive one better.

[@kp4911]

Because you're not taking into account quality. The dresses may look alike on TV, but you have no idea what they are like in person; the feel of the fabric, the quality of the craftsmanship. It starts to go up with the price.

Similar dresses but the most expensive one looked way better.

[@PinkieJoJo]

I don’t understand why people go to such stores if they are so worried about budget. Wouldn’t there be smaller local stores with less costly dresses and such? My dress was 400.00 off the rack at a very small local shop. Also to me, the consultant shouldn’t bring the dresses in even if the family wants them to. The bride also should simply refuse to try it on. They always “agree” and end up falling for the pricy dress. It’s all just so dumb.

Here’s the thing about going over the budget. Since the mum and sisters wanted her to exceed the budget, they could have each contributed 200-250$ or offered to cover the cost for something for the new house she bought, such as a couch or a dining table, which she said she’d spend anything over her budget on. If they’re not willing to do that, how dare they not listen to her?
