This is everything that's wrong with the bridal industry in general. Hype up needing two dresses, drive up the budget, and create unrealistic ideas about "dream dress", "dream wedding", "wow factor", etc. and these brides are drawn into this and end up spending stupid amounts of money for one or two dresses that are only worn less than 12 hours. Spending $11,000 for an overpriced (dresses are marked up 100%) dress that she will wear for what? An hour? Where's the money in the budget for the overpriced veil? Shoes? Headpiece? Alterations? Taxes?? Just idiocy run amok.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Beyoncé will pay for all that.

[@terimiddleton736]

Amen!! Just because the wedding industry has turned weddings these days into ridiculous, overblown events doesn't mean the bride can't be smart enough not to buy Into it... Time to use your brains ladies!!

[@marietighe6328]

To be honest I think its more whats wrong with people right now. Any idiot who is willing to pay stupid prices for a NAME on their dress deserves it. Totally ridiculous that people are all about the WEDDING and not the MARRIAGE is sad.

[@theraweggfiles]

When deciding on a budget, a lot of brides fail to consider the extras that inherently come hand-in-hand with buying a wedding gown. Things like, the headpiece, the veil, the shoes, the jewelry, AND the alterations, all of which can throw the budget in overdrive by thousands of dollars that the bride didn't think about. So effectively, this bride, for instance, comes in with a 13k budget for 2 Pnina gowns fully expected to get what she came for, but when the bill comes due for the "extras", that budget will have been long since blown. At the end of the day, is that really worth it for a dress or dresses you'll only wear once? I feel it's better to save that money for a new house, a fantastic honeymoon, or just something more permanent and life-changing than a four-hour party that most guests don't even wanna go to and will forget once they leave. I also feel that, though few will admit it, I would not be surprised to discover just how many brides look back with regret at the financial choices they made for the wedding (gown, flowers, invitations, etc...) once the bills start to roll in.

[@dy9278]

This is expecting a glass of designer champagne for a low domestic beer can price

[@joycejohnson7640]

I totally agree with. They never consider all of the other costs associated with the dress. Unless you're a millionaire it is so foolish to spend that much money on a dress.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

People usually budget those separately though. When the consultants ask for the budget, they're expecting the price to be for the price only. They don't want the total price. They want the price for the dress only with nothing included. That should be common sense. Why would you tell your wedding dress consultant your all-in budget? You're not going to get everything in one place. You can't get shoes and jewelry at Kleinfeld's, lol.

[@MrsBrit1]

Absolutely agree! When they set their budget, if that's all they have to spend on the dress, the alterations alone will add hundreds, if not a few thousand. If you have 3k, cut it in half unless you have another grand set aside to have it fitted correctly.

[@BasicYTHandle]

@@thehungrygoldfish Actually - yes, one can get shoes and jewelry at Kleinfeld's (limited supply, but available). And one is almost certainly going to get the veil and headpiece there.

[@theraweggfiles]

Too many brides are TOO concerned with what the fiance wants to see the brides in. If she is gonna wear it, she should choose it, not him. If he loves her, what difference does it make WHAT she wears? If he loves her, she should be able to wear a potato sack and not worry about him not being happy. I feel it's more about him and his ego and the way it makes HIM look to others if his bride isn't "hot" on their wedding day. It's ridiculous. I just wish women had more courage to choose for themselves which gown they'll wear on the day they've been dreaming about since they were little girls.

Kind of shady of the consultants to put her in an $11,000 dress when they knew she wanted two and her budget was $13,000. Pnina should get the commission instead of Randy or that other woman.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Randy doesn’t get a commission and Pnina isn’t a consultant lol

[@anastasiaweatherspoon6111]

$13 grand for two dresses is nuts. if i was getting my dream dress, i would buy one and save the rest for other things that i would need to plan my dream wedding. my mom was trying to get me to wear her dress from 1998 but i am not sure if her dress would fit me or even if it's my taste. my mom's dress is kind of like a princess gown with sleeves that is like off the shoulder. my parents got married in may and it was hot. My dream dress would be a ballgown with lace and bling, not too much and not too boring. just somewhere in the middle.

[@angrydonutface7420]

Idk, I feel like they should save the charity for brides who need it. :/

[@mariesmith1616]

I absolutely agree.

[@ShermanCassidy]

Why does she need two dresses?!? I don’t understand why she can’t buy the dress she loves and wear it in both the ceremony and reception? Like normal people?

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Because she wanted to please both herself and her groom.

[@MortimusWilly]

It's gorgeous - just can't imagine spending that on a dress for one day. We got married at the courthouse, I wore a tea length dress that was affordable, we had sandwiches and a cake from Tim Hortons. Best day ever.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Not everyone wants that though, and you can’t get a catered wedding at a nice venue for the same price you paid for a courthouse wedding and donuts lol

[@MortimusWilly]

@@thehungrygoldfish I realize that. But why spend so much on a wedding?

[@theraweggfiles]

I feel like a lot of brides who fall in love with the big skirt gowns (especially the ones with tulle skirts) come to regret it early on the wedding day once they truly get a feel for carrying those skirts around so they don't drag on the floor, AND seeing how often the skirt gets snagged/caught on things as she walks by. There are so many little details brides need to consider before allowing her initial love for a dress to take her over because once the dress is purchased, it's pretty much too late by the time she starts to think about those details she was blinded to.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

You "feel", but you don't actually KNOW. Have you interviewed every single person who has bought a ball gown dress? And every single one of them told you they regretted it? Really? wtf.

[@kyliepechler]

The finished wedding dress does not "drag on the floor" after the alterations have been done so it fits the brides height.

[@theraweggfiles]

@@thehungrygoldfish Why so defensive? Your name says it all, you know. Your reply was very specific while mine was clearly a generalization. Should I define that for you because clearly you didn't get my point.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

@@theraweggfiles I just didn't like your attitude, lol. "Every woman who buys a big ball gown will regret it! I am the queen damn it! And whatever I say goes!" You came across as a very judgmental woman. Like it's your way or the highway. Even though you do not know this woman and you're not paying for the damn dress. Dude, she's not your clone. She's not going to have to have the exact same taste as you, girl. Who do you think you are? You're not Beyonce, lol.

[@moniquemacaulay8270]

what the hell is wrong with people? 2 dresses? How selfish!!! weddings are out of contro and it seems most brides are very unrealistic. What they are spending on the one day could be a down payment for a home.

[@theprousteffect9717]

So she was about to buy two dresses all because her fiance hates ballgowns? That's not a compromise, that's plain foolishness and being bad with money.

My husband said that the most beautiful thing about me in my wedding dress was how happy I looked in it. He'll love you in whatever

[@jeniferclemente1252]

The Pnina ballgown was used so many times, it’s boring…. Yet these brides thought they were being “original and unique” 🙄 Also, why can’t one dress be enough?

[@MLMLW]

I would have just stuck with the one dress. The groom can get over it. He's not wearing the dress. What a waste to wear an $11,000 gown only for a short ceremony then spend the hours of the reception wearing a cheaper option. That's just insane to me.

[@tudorpottudorpot8423]

It sounds like she was getting a deal, but my bet is that the designer and store are making a huge profit. $3 k for a skirt is a huge markup. You can buy a whole gown for ½ that. The largest cost to designer is selling, she already has the equipment, staff & fabric. This is creating a new market for second skirts, they have already created the “ must have two gowns” expectation. Watch the UK version of this show, gowns are a third of the price with far more options Re styles. US styles appear to be quite limited.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

No duh there has to be a markup. Pnina isn’t making the dresses by herself out if used bedsheets, lol

[@keirastoewhaas5722]

Are we going to ignore that she only was getting a second dress that was solely for her fiance? Like bruh get the ONE dress that YOU like.

[@pu7273]

Bruh... Someone asks for a princess dress by Pnina and it's always this dress or something similar like what's so special??

[@mariesmith1616]

It was the most popular dress sold around that time. And probably this girl wanted to feel important and glamorous on that dress that she barely could afford.

[@jeswainston]

Sorry, if you can’t afford what you want, find something you like that you can afford.

[@theprousteffect9717]

Yeah, the charity kind of enrages me, especially since $13k is already an enormous dress budget. This woman needs to let go of the entitlement and grow up.

She can do the math. She knows the money is not there for a second dress. She counted on the charity.

she wants two dresses because her fiance wants to tell her what to wear, which is ridiculous in itself. She's a grown girl and can wear what she likes to her wedding (within reason). . But then she goes for the most overpriced designer so she can't afford two dresses. You could buy two dresses for $1000 if you know where to look.

She wanted a specific designer and a specific type of dress. She wanted a big gigantic ball gown with lots of beading and embellishments and pickups. That’s not cheap.

[@lumia57]

So many brides pick this dress the pina! Even in the UK 😂

[@Sweet_Southern_Pecan]

I am just curious: What was the final cost? It's very unlikely the dress didn't need alterations and other additions like a veil 🤔

[@thehungrygoldfish]

One dollar!

[@raenfairy]

About 14k before the veil, alterations, other accessories. She said it was only about 800 above her original budget.

[@Yaratheyoutuber]

She could have bought a whole husband-pleasing dress with $3k. I don't think her husband cares who the designer is.

[@mariesmith1616]

Absolutely

[@CarmenDL1]

She could have found both dress types from another designer just as beautiful and within her budget. Brides who get stuck on getting a Pnina dress are ridiculous

Or even 7 and 6 but the bride was adamant on Pnina dresses and she knew how expensive they are.

[@Emperor-Wild-Man]

If the absolute budget is 13K for two dresses. then budget for "her" dress shall be 6.5K, and budget for "his" dress shall be $6.5 if she allows the man to dictate what his dress preference.
