I see the vision with the pirate dress. Corset top, layered skirt. It was a lovely dress and the bride looked beautiful!

[@ChrisAndCats]

That bodice was gorgeous and she had the colouring and figure to carry it off. She looked gorgeous, and the white with her dark hair looked amazing.

[@lyndawebster6840]

She looks gorgeous in it really suits her very pirate love it

[@mbyrd6713]

The first pirate dress was awesome, so glad the bride stood up for herself ❤

[@cindylou1108]

Pirates or not that dress was beautiful on her!

[@user-wi3yr2sg3t]

I have no idea if that dress was 'pirate' inspired, but it was beautiful and perfection on that bride to be.

[@knottheendcrochet]

I'm so glad that the first bride, Christy, got the dress that 'she' wanted. Her "friends" wanted her to get the dress they wanted for themselves. She needs to ditch them... family too.

[@TheFrottola]

Pirates don't have anchors. Boats do.

[@aphroditezcortez728]

I guess it was better than calling her peg leg Kristy

[@sh.4409]

They tend to have boats.

Lot of things have anchors to hold things door in place 😊😮

[@figmo397]

That last bride shouldn't have been trying on mermaid cut gowns if she wanted to be able to play hockey in her dress. The correct cut would have been an A-line with a traditional waist. It sounded like she only tried one A-line, and it was "too frilly" for her.

[@jemmaj2919]

Yeah didn't seem like the consultant was even listening

[@lisamelroy2855]

​@jemmaj2919 There's only so much a consultant can do when the only input the bride makes (that we see, of course) is that she wants to play hockey in it. If the consultant has never seen a hockey game, she probably has no idea what to bring, so the bride should've explained the necessities behind her request.

[@edgygyal]

@lisamelroy2855 umm yeah bride did make a very unusual request but that first dress literally didn't fit it by any standards. Consultant just put her into whatever

[@littleMVgirl]

My 0:55

[@kateyare4708]

Maybe go for a tea length dress?

[@Poisenivy5]

❤I loved that the bride, Angela hugged Dianne! The brides don't give out hugs to people that help them! ❤

[@leahf5493]

While it's so fun watching the different versions of Say Yes To The Dress, I'll never understand why the out of the box brides, or unlimited budget families often don't get something custom designed in the first place. Then it can be whatever you actually want instead of frankenstening what you want out of already made dresses 🤷‍♀️

[@ss-ds2dn]

Cuz that doesn't get them on tv? Idk😂

[@caracampbell1715]

Cost.

[@fayepatrice1672]

Plenty of them do. Custom super expensive wedding dresses are made all the time. But of course, we won’t see them on this show.

[@aleksandragieralt7370]

Some of them overdo it, but most brides I know in real life, including myself, "Frankensteined" their dress. My dress was made of lace, but I got married in a traditional Catholic church and I needed to line the plunge and upper portion of the sleeves. There were many dresses that covered the cleavage and shoulders, but they were all shear, and, for our church, that needed lining. Why didn't I get a custom dress? Because the shape and the lace were perfect, it was just too shear. Nowadays, most dresses are either sleeveless or shear on top, so some brides add sleeves or line them for modesty. I've seen custom dresses on Say Yes to the Dress and most of them look a lot more basic than the ones on the shelves and in the stock room. I think some of the modifications brides are asking for are minor. There are beautiful custom dresses out there, but I don't know what's wrong with minor tweaks.

[@reneehubbard9027]

I loved Christie's pirate gown.

[@isuckatguitar6252]

The pirate dress was perfect on her!

Christies Pirate dress is awesome, she looks amazing in it.

[@catezaida8081]

Hockey in your wedding dress??? I have now heard it all. 😮😂😅

[@susanfraser6371]

The hockey bride might be happy in a bustier and pants, with a removable overskirt. I don't know if that option was even available when that episode was filmed.

[@MsJubjubbird]

I was thinking either a tea length gown, or a different reception dress if she wants a long one for the ceremony

[@susanfraser6371]

[@shevahauser1780]

'you look like you belong in a movie for...guns and roses'- nice save 😂

Thank God the entourage for the second bride had the sense to talk her out of the hideous gown she wore the first time.

[@BruinPhD2009]

I appreciate her not wanting to look like everyone else, but that first dress looked like she got trapped in the curtains and just kept walking.

'It's formalwear not workout wear.' I agree, but something in a tea length might have worked.

[@lisechristensen4714]

First dress on second bride was very piratey! And why didn't the consultant pull short dresses for the hockey bride?! Anyways, Randy is amazing and his dress designs are fantastic

[@TheFrottola]

I agree. I was thinking tea length.

[@kathybeckford3592]

Why didn't the last bride look a tea length or shorter dresses?

[@TheWerbenmanjensen]

I LOVE Randy!

[@heididepotter8136]

I love the pirate themed idea! Loved the first pirate dress too! Go girl, do you! All stunning brides! PLaying sports on your weddingday in your dress. That s a hard one

[@kingkareem9077]

You can pick any other day to play hockey. Some people are just extraordinary.

[@starchan2036]

It seems like the consultant for the last bride wasn't listening to her at all. Why put her in so many fitted dresses? Was there nothing A-line or tea length in the entire store?

[@LolaFunnyGirl]

Why would the consultant give the bride, who wants to play hockey in her dress, fitted dresses? That makes NO sense. There are lots of flared or ball gown styles that the bride could move or skate in.

[@s.z.6200]

You can’t play hockey in a wedding dress.

[@AzurasLunarEclipse]

Hockey bride needs a iceskating styled dress so its elegant and easy 2 move in on ice

[@s.susanmarandi9080]

The last bride looked great in all the dresses she wore; too bad none of them worked out. Maybe she should have gone for a gown with a removable overskirt which was short underneath that.

[@catladyfromky4142]

This episode was filmed a long, long time ago. I don't even know if there were designers who had over skirts then.

[@julievanderleest]

Never thought I’d say this but I really loved the “pirate” dress. I don’t see the pirate in it but it looked really beautiful on her.

[@patirvin-bz9pg]

Pirate dress looked great on her. The one her friends chose made her look like a fat 50s, going to the prom

Pirate dress...well the dress they suggested was absolutely stunning

[@cb8957]

As a seamstress that has worked on all 4 of her sister/sister in laws wedding dresses, (including my own) making them how each imagined them to be I would have loved the challenge of creating the hockey players gown!

[@tiffanyroberts4463]

The pirate dress was stunning its her wedding not her friends lol

[@acat1130]

As far as a dress a pirate would wear, none of those dresses screamed "pirate" to me. They were beautiful, but not easy to move around in. I was thinking more of a tea length dress or a pantsuit, and definitely a belt.

[@oana9501]

For the hockey playing bride a jumpsuit might be a good idea, and of course a dress for the ceremony...

[@siobhanroberts8627]

Hockey wedding dress... Tacky

[@mfb6310]

Sports bride could've tried on shorter dresses, like in the 50's - calf length. with a feather instead of a veil. So many options, I don't get her having to leave empty handed.

[@amichaels1871]

Concentrate MORE on the MARRIAGE than the DRESS & the WEDDING. ❤🌠

[@monongahelacats]

What’s more important? The hockey or the marriage ceremony?

[@peachygal4153]

the last girl needed a bridal jumpsuit with an over skirt that could be removed after the wedding ceremony. They did that for another girl who was going skydiving after the ceremony.

[@amichaels1871]

The bride ULTIMATELY needs to DECIDE what will be HER dress. ❤🌠

[@lerud6157]

My thoughts, which really mean nothing to anyone else except me, is to go formal for the wedding, it is just the classy thing to do. However, for the reception, if you have a certain theme, then get a party dress and dance the night away. . .get your funk on!! I did not have the wedding I wanted, but I love my amazingly wonderful mil so much, that I did the traditional choice. The colors I chose were her favorite, and I had no idea! I made my own dress, so it was exactly what I wanted, and had a beautiful ceremony and fun reception!! I didn’t sacrifice the parts I wanted, while I was able to implement the parts my Mom and MIL hoped for. You never know how great something will turn out!!

[@sjkitty]

The pirate dress was absolutely stunning, and that second dress that her friends put her into, while pretty looks like a wedding dress, you could get off the rack. Honestly I think you can get that dress on Temu. Personally, I I thought the pirate dress could have a bigger skirt, but that was basically like the best option they had

[@smiley2477]

She was too petite and it was too poofy the second dress. First showed off her figure.

[@sjkitty]

@@smiley2477to each their own. I like a poofy dress on me. Guess its not her thing tho

If the only thing the brides are interested is the "different " ceremony(nightclub, hockey, scuba dive etc.) Why even have the wedding? I thought the "events" were supposed to be the reception.

That hockey thing was weird. Why did they put her in mermaid gowns? I can think of 8 gowns that I've seen brides actually wear on this very show that would work so much better. She needed something flowy and not as long. That could have been an easy appointment.

[@evelyn_r]

I don’t care if formal or not, a dress should be comfortable and movable in, to dance or in case of emergency to be able to RUN! Hence the two in one dresses are my preference, have a removable layer that shortens the dress and allows movement to enjoy and celebrate the celebration after the signatures are out the way.

[@katdanbert1048]

should have tried Tea length for the hockey bride

[@crossemily]

Well done Dianne!

[@spearageddon3279]

The hockey bride ... WHY didn't they put her in a 50s style tea length???! It would be perfect - length would be good for skating and the skirt would billow and swirl as she skated circles around her groom.

Exactly!

[@MsJubjubbird]

this is a TV show though. Those reactions are required and are coached by the production team. Likewise, they coach the brides to make those requests

[@jb6712]

I'm sure you're probably well aware that all this is nothing but hyped up "entertainment, meant for nothing more nor less than to make gullible viewers all simp, ooky, and up in arms about the brides' choices. In real life, the staff of bridal salons don't give a rat's rump what a bride wants; if she wants to find a dress made of toilet paper sheets, they'll do their best to accommodate her bizarre request, and get on with their lives. It's very well documented all over the Internet that all "reality" tv shows are nothing but lies and hype, and this one show is one of the biggest in that way of doing things. Randy himself typically gets decent reviews, but even he has said that the producers and directors who show up to film have all the say about the way the entourages interact with the brides, and it's typically just a bunch of unbelievable garbage (he didn't use the word garbage, but it's the perfect word for the foolishness of these shows).
