Bride Searches For An “Elegant Hippy” Dress | Say Yes To The Dress: Atlanta

[@roxiegs348]

That second bride is precious.

[@9094nancyj]

She is!

[@mariesmith1616]

Nope

[@clwbchbabycakes]

If someone told me they wanted hippie/vintage/flowy Goddess, I would put her in chiffon. It's the perfect fabric to walk barefoot in. Family puts her on display to laugh at her. That's mean hearted right to the core.

[@absatwell8163]

I would put her in a white cotton, flowing dress and flowers in her hair.

[@dietotaku]

yeah i don't understand how any of the dresses they pulled fit what she asked for.

You want hippie, go to the thrift stores, consignments and antique shops. How about making one yourself?

​@@dietotakuThere's nothing about the dress she said yes to that's hippie!

There are times I want to say to the family "are you happy now? You made her cry."

The problem is they *are* happy making her cry. How else would they feel good about themselves or project on their negative feelings onto someone else?? Disgusting people.

The contrast between these 2 families was a perfect way to showcase supportive vs unsupportive!

So she says she wants hippie vintage and they put her in two fitted satin dresses? I would think the dress would be more lace, long, flowy, and light. With hanging beads or layers of lace or something. Lori literally was in her 20s in the 70s. She should know better!!

[@dietotaku]

she needed an empire waist chiffon gown with butterfly sleeves. THAT would SCREAM "hippie"!

[@kimmichaud7741]

She had limited options in her budget

Maybe they hate losing her income

[@peachygal4153]

The mom liked the first dress that added 50 pounds to her weight but hated the slimming second dress because it was salsa looking. who cares she looked very attractive in it. The 3rd dress was just okay. It did not make her look bigger, but it also did nothing for her.

No. If mom can only afford $500 then that's all she should give. But the bride can still pick whatever she wants. Who pays the difference is on the bride.

[@mo-sy9ws]

Second hand dresses are a good deal for many

[@annewagner196]

Right! She should get an actual vintage dress.

[@krazycatz]

Actually it all depends on where you live and what type of store you shop at. Where I live there are three types of stores where you could find used clothes. The first would be a thrift store which would probably be the cheapest but the quality might require some repairs or something. The second would be an antique store which does not always have any clothes to sell but if they did it would cost more than the thrift store. The third and last store would be a vintage clothing store. If she could find a hippie wedding dress anywhere it would be here but where I live it would probably cost more than twice as much as the wanted to spend. I remember once I went into a vintage clothing store to check it out. They had a sundress for sale that was exactly like a sundress that I had purchased 20+ years for under $30 only my sundress was green while the one they had for sale was pink. I immediately walked out of that store when I looked at the price tag and saw that they wanted I think it was almost $6000 although I’m not certain about anything except that it was more than $5000. For those who are curious to know that shop in question went out of business in less than ten years.

[@mcrchickenluvr]

Someone please tell me I’m not the only one that wanted to duct tape that mamas mouth. Seriously, how can someone be so mean to their own daughter?

[@janettewebster2151]

My being 67...I was actually around when the hippy's were & these dresses (& the fabrics they're made from) DON'T fit the era at all! To fit the "vintage hippy" narrative, the dresses should be more flowing & natural fabrics were particularly"in"... especially for an outside, or beach wedding. The only thing they got right was the headband & that would have been worn without a veil.

[@janetcallanan7020]

Agree I'm 65 I remember the era. Doubt the store would have had anything in linen or that light weight Indian cotton we wore but c'mon you should have at least tried a flowy chiffon. Lace and beading fine ruching umm no. Probably should have chosen a different store but she did look pretty in the one she chose

[@krazycatz]

I was born in the 1960s so I don’t have a personal memory of the hippie style except for old television shows and magazines. The impression I got was that the hippie style was about getting back to nature and making things yourself. It’s my understanding that two crafts that were popular then were macrame and crochet. I have a hard time picturing a macrame wedding dress but I can see a crochet wedding dress looking lovely for a hippie wedding.

[@jonijenkins8006]

That brides party is a piece of work....especially mommie dearest

I think a better word for the dress she's looking for is boho. There's so many boho bride references on Pinterest.

[@user-wq7hw2ow9l]

I thought maybe a vintage store could help her in her quest of a hippie dress - probably a lot cheaper too!

[@erinjaynes]

I know! I think she needs to google the word hippie.

[@carolblum8402]

If you want vintage hippie on a budget, satin is not the vibe, and a vintage or thrift store would be a way better place to find the perfect dress. Thrift stores are a hidden treasure trove of dresses someone else wore only once, and who knows, you might find an actual hippie dress

[@thehungrygoldfish]

But you’d have to pay more for the alterations, especially since the bride is plus size.

[@krazycatz]

Well if she knows how to crochet the bride could have made her own vintage hippie wedding dress, which would have fitted in more with the theme as crochet was a popular craft during that time period.

dude goodwill nowadays is so expensive lol often can find normal clothes way cheaper brand new than what they're selling at goodwill with the jacked up prices 😅

None of those dresses even come close to hippie. Strapless with boning? Hippies did not even wear bras. The headband comes closer.

[@tweetledd4709]

I know a woman like that first mother. Cheap as the day is long because she needs her cash for the casino. She always thinks she’s funny with her insults and seems to feel better if someone else feels bad. I refused to do any more shopping with or for her.

[@krazycatz]

I can imagine that if the bride was to say “I’ll be paying for the wedding dress myself with the money I’ve been saving up for it.” mother would have complained that she was being stingy and insisted that the bride give that money to her.

[@spudnut00]

I don't understand why brides even bring folks along when they must surely know which ones will be unkind. I also don't understand why a bunch of people will be chipping in to pay for a dress. If we're old enough to be married, we should be responsible enough to pay for our own weddings..... unless parents insist ~ and even then, it can be tricky.

[@TuckyBlue_1]

Wow… I bet you’re a blast at parties.

@@TuckyBlue_1 I'm just fine at parties, thank you. I'm just a fan of living within one's means. Are friends and family gonna pony up for the electric bill, the car payment, the rent, groceries? And all those things are actual necessities. A fancy wedding dress isn't.

[@krazycatz]

I agree with you people should live within their means and not go into debt just to have some over the top wedding that they will be paying for years after the wedding. Personally if I was getting married and I could have my dream wedding dress it would be a dress that I knitted myself.

Lori’s interpretation of “elegant hippie” is… interesting.

[@prissilou]

Let's face it. In these days and prices, the only way you're gonna get a wedding dress for $500 is to have a friend or close relative who is an accomplished seamstress. For my first wedding dress, I threw a Butterick pattern and a few yards of embroidered georgette and satin at a friend and said, 'this is what I want". I wore a broad-brimmed hat with floral embellishments, an expensive pair of Italian leather cream colored pumps, a wrap-style dress that was just to below the knees and had a robe collar, 3/4 sleeves, and a big satin sash around the middle that tied in a big bow at the back, and felt like the most beautiful bride in the world. And have the pictures to prove it.

[@krazycatz]

I’m so happy that you were able to get your dream wedding dress within your budget. I also love the videos on KZbin where the bride to be is able to make her own wedding dress either by sewing or crocheting. Personally if I was getting married I would like to wear a wedding dress that I had knitted myself.

The first bride's family was so not nice. They should have found better ways to express their dislike. As for the 2nd bride, I would recommend putting on a tiny bit of weight if she can, just enough so that she can be more confident that the dress would stay up and she can party away and enjoy her day. Her dress was stunning however.
