I laughed so hard when, after three dresses, the announcer said "with options running low...." Thousands of dresses in the store and they want us to think they're stumped after three.

[@Lily_of_the_Forest]

Yeah in another episode the salesperson is freaking out after only 3 dresses and saying “There is no more!” They must have filmed more dresses but only show 3.

[@carnationemerald]

When they say they're running low its because of the brides budget or the kind of gown she's looking for.

I know some people may not agree, but her mom was honestly trying to help her find a dress that her daughter wanted. The point of bringing friends and family is to hear their opinions/ support on things you probably can’t see. I know some parents are narcs but her mom knew what she was looking for and was respectful when it came to the dresses that weren’t her. Well done

[@KTKaute]

What gets me is that as a wedding dress advisor surely you need to hear what they are looking for. I heard bling before they even mentioned more bling, yet she still kept bringing out dresses plain as day. Then you get brides that want more simple dresses and they find these ridiculous over the top bling dresses, I feel they dont sense what the customers want and need very well

[@CDCYA]

I think it's for the show

Pnina is more expensive, but she can customize any dress to what the bride and mom wants. It seems like the two women were having trouble agreeing on a style. That is why Pnina was brought in - to detail the dress to bring them two together. That is not a crime.

I am beginning to question these consultants. I f they get commission on a sale is it higher with PT as the designer ( I personally am rarely impressed with her gowns). The bride looks stunning but they could have given her so many more options with her high budget. Definitely a case of the Bride making it look like a wedding dress rather than the dress making her look like a bride. I guess I must be old fashioned as I just don’t understand the wanting to look sexy on the big day especially if it’s a church wedding.

[@laurentatro3629]

The dainty dress after the black dress looked AMAZING on her. She seemed like she didn’t even want to take it off, the jewels did not belong on that dress. Bling isn’t meant to be on every dress.

i loved the black one best, but i agree it's hard to visualize it in ivory. some dresses are better white than ivory. also they kept dressing her in plain when they demanded bling. also bringing the designer out is pressuring people into buying a dress she doesn't really want. they do this a lot lately so i'm guessing they have some sort of agreement with them.
