“She’s Not Giving In” Mum Says NO To Bride’s Chosen Gown | Say Yes To The Dress Atlanta

[@TravelBug189]

When she said it’s not flat I was shocked. She’s a cheerleader!! Our stomach holds our organs, our uterus, blood vessels, etc. it can’t be perfectly flat

[@joycepino9749]

The first bride was the sweetest girl and a beautiful smile. Her body was perfect for the dress she loved. Mother's dress shown too much cleavage and the bride didn't want to show cleavage. Too bad the bride had to leave without the dress she loved. Next time she should go by herself. Brides make a big mistake trying to please their mothers. The only person they should please is themselves. They are the one who' are wearing the dress not their mothers or the people they bring with them.

** I'm still looking for the "not flat" tummy the mom talked about with the first dress. The mom points to her daughter's nicely toned stomach and says "This is not flat". Kari has a great figure! Her mom simply does not like the style of clothing that Kari likes. Period. ** Kari's mom wants her to look sexy and have her boobs prominently on display so that everyone at the wedding will be fixated on the daughter's sexiness. That's a bit skeevy to me, but different strokes for different folks, I guess. It did make me wonder how much the mother is living vicariously through the daughter. ** BTW, when the mother said "this is for the rest of her life", I rolled my eyes. No, it's for one day.

[@Lenka18s]

That bride is stunningly beautiful so almost everything will look good at her. I think she looked gorgeous in both dresses, the bride's pick was more elegant, classy, simple, the mom's pick was more sexy wawawoom (show them till go them) type of dress. I am actually kinda surprised b/c usually it's the other way around. Moms want something "modest", brides go for more sexy.

[@jenniferpearce1052]

I don't care for the belt detail on any dress. Somehow, it always seems to hide a small waist rather than accent it. So I agree with the mom on that point. But the _rest_ of the first dress was way prettier than the second one! The design was more elegant. I didn't care for the sequin patches just slapped on the 2nd dress. The bride had an amazing figure and could wear whatever rag and look fantastic!

That first mother is EXACTLY why I went shopping and decided on the dress I wanted before I went shopping with my mother. The consultant at the bridal shop liked it on me, so did my fiancé and a few members of the bridal party. My mother is a super nasty control freak but I stood up to her. Finally told her it was THAT dress or we'd get married at City Hall and have a potluck reception. That settled her down. Sometimes you gotta stand up for what you want.
