This is the first time I actually thought the bride should not get the dress she likes and listen to her friends. That dress was a big fail.

[@shellyswt]

Her friends cared enough to tell her the truth because she looked ridiculous. And they did it as kindly as they could.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

See, it’s tricky here. The usual advice is that the bride should wear what they want to wear. You shouldn’t force her to wear what you want her to wear. And there doesn’t seem to be a middle ground here. So should the bride wear what she wants to wear or should she be forced to wear something she doesn’t want to wear? Or maybe she should get two dresses but that’s more $$$!!. I feel like here no matter what she chooses, it’s the wrong decision lol. She likes it, but it’s ugly. It’s pretty but she hates it. Or everyone gets what they want but it’s five times the budget. Yikes.

[@orellagillette2484]

FINALLY.... first comment to ever be honest about a Bride's pick. I feel the exact same way about MANY bride's choices on this show and everyone in the comments are so against the entourage trying to be honest in saying a dress just does not look good on her. Of course, some entourages on the show are just being downright ugly and insulting, but that's the exception and NOT the rule.

[@thinkingspaced]

Epic fail on the consultant's part. We all watch this show enough to know that a dress exists that has a sexy corset top with a more bridal skirt that her friends would have agreed to, and she would have loved. They said don't worry about the $$ and she just stopped at the short skirt, gave her a plain, "safe" alternative that was nothing that she wanted.

Her first fail was asking about a budget, getting an answer and asking again if that's how much she wants to spend. Ma'am, do you understand what "a budget" means? That dress wasn't sexy IMHO. It was making her look like she's in her 50s but still trying to dress like a teenager.

The problem here is there seemed to be flexibility on the budget but it wasn’t clear how much they could spend. The bride wanted to spend $3k. Mom said grandparents are paying and the budget could be increased. And she wanted Pnina. So honestly I feel like if Camille had stuck with $3k, the same thing would have happened anyway, that they would want to try on higher priced gown. None of them seemed bothered by the higher prices.
