Bride's Duelling Mums "Acting Like Children" During Appointment | Say Yes To The Dress Atlanta

Staff: mum drama/pleasing all of the mothers/mothers competing Also staff: today is the brides day

[@jessicavictoriacarrillo7254]

Supposedly the "Southern way" honestly it's mostly salesperson brain

[@betty-joymoreau4363]

Simply beautiful, hard to please moms, bravo lovely young lady.

[@pickupyourlaces]

I love this show can't wait for new episodes. And I hope Lori is doing well because last I saw she was sick, and she really does make a huge part of the show 💝

[@abhilashakr7515]

I love the bride’s attitude here.many brides will stick to a dress which is over budget and feel bad that they won’t get it…

[@pheurbelvls3710]

I’m so glad she found a similar dress in budget.💚💚

[@josephinemiller4780]

Just listen to Lori. She knows what she’s doing.

[@samrabufkinsmjapr3939]

I am so glad Lori picked the dress she chose. That ended the oneupsmanship game with horrible stepmom.

[@kingdomacademymf9316]

I love the dress she chose, she looks stunning. That is how it usually works, get them to fall in love with an expensive dress see if they will fall for it, if not then offer a cheaper version.

[@chirasreepal2672]

Yes the bride can have her own preferences but the consultants are there for some reason... So sometimes just give a try to their suggestions... and if the consultant is Lori or Gok You definitely won't regret 😉

[@the_easiest_briezy5179]

Things like this are part of the reason why I get super nervous whenever my parents or step parents are in a room with each other

[@16MedicRN]

Stepmom is gross, and vile. I've been a Stepmom. Understand that the child you love came from the DNA of a person you can't stand. That child is still precious and unique and amazing 💞 Support the bride, even if it means respecting the biological mom. Facts.

[@wdcart.co.8206]

I think the mom was really looking for her daughter to have that wedding moment spark. And that’s why she wasn’t for the dress until the belt, cause she was really trying to see how her daughter felt. Where as the step-mother really cared about whether it was her pick that got chosen or not.

[@maryjeffries3126]

This is one of the nicest dresses I have seen on the show, in terms of how it suits the bride to be, and the dress itself. Perfect.

[@blackbeauty7499]

My dads wife could NEVER be at my appointment, I’m just having my Mum at mine… no out ranking bs no where plus I’m too over protective of my mum to see someone try disrespect her

[@amandashare1281]

I think the step mom picked that over budget on purpose, and when it came to payment she kept looking at the brides mom as if to say "she can pay the difference" just to make her look bad.

[@debrazawlocki3975]

Unless there is no bio mom, or bio mom abandoned her children, stepmom needs to sit still, restrict her comments to, "Lovely!" and that is it.

[@mamabear9646]

"I refer to him as 'Nick'" killed me

[@melindaunknown6411]

Why do girls bring Miss Damn, Mr Damn, and the whole Damn family to pick out a gown? Harder to please a large group of people. Keep it small folks.

[@lindawilliams5015]

Funny

[@TheMeganExperience]

I just went by myself and sent pictures after 😂 I know what I like and what looks good - don't need someone else to tell me.

[@MsJubjubbird]

the producers pick the entourage. They don't want a peaceful appointment they want good TV

[@alexlasting16]

the first dress looks amazing btw

[@barbarahedges1791]

My daughter started asking me what I liked and I told her what she loved, I would love. It is your day and you make your wedding please you. She looked georgeous.

[@chamk5229]

Her blush and eye makeup though 😁

[@emi14s]

Finally I was looking for this comment

[@MikaWikaPika]

The way how the smiles went away in the beginning when they heard that they'll talk about the relationship between mothers and daughters😂

[@pbg0301]

She came across as the evil step mum, that was so rude

[@pristymo]

Absolutely her dress! I love it too!

[@alanamarie7114]

My mom would never pick out a dress for my wedding that’s over budget… but my little sister would 😐

[@kayari1455]

I think the mom was pretty respectful. She voiced when she didn't care for something, sure, but she reminded the bride constantly that she looked beautiful in it. You could tell she was willing to sway toward any dress the bride loved.

[@samirar9546]

Lol I thought the stepmom was her birth mom, the bride looks more alike to her stepmom than her mom

[@jpcomp5159]

What was her step mother thinking - unless she was gonna pay!

[@lisatyndall852]

It was very wrong of the Stepmom to put her in a dress that was over budget. Only do that if you’re willing to pay the difference. The bride looked hurt when she found out the price. That was not a time to have a pissing contest between Mom and Stepmom.

[@babyyyvero]

“are y’all gonna assist with the payments” “we’ll talk about it” girl-
