Opinionated Mum VS Blush Wedding Dresses: Who Will Win? | Say Yes To The Dress: Lancashire

[@navyasanthosh6331]

Whenever the mom said, "It's not my dress.", I immediately went like, "YEAH. It's not your dress, it's HER dress." I'm not saying like she's mean or anything but that line just-

yah, her wording is really telling... she probably didn't even realize she was projecting so much onto her daughter :D

[@b_jean755]

That annoyed me too!!!

[@roxanac.4977]

I felt like she meant it more as a "this isn't the dress" and then added the "FOR ME" meaning as a "IN MY OPINION" trying to not sound too strong. But maybe I'm just too naive 😅

[@coldclearblue6350]

She was right though

[@sparkydog7912]

I feel like so many of the parent misunderstanding blush a something that screams PINK. But when I watch these shows the blush dress is always so pretty.

[@EmperorPiplup]

they be so dramatic blush in super bright wedding lighting would literally be so white

[@amandajeske493]

The blush dresses honestly read as white in most cases

[@AndysamBlack]

All the dresses looked white to me lol

Lllpppp I am not sure if s

[@melissagroce2660]

the blush these days is a lot lighter than previously. I love the blush in the last 5ish years. My dress was blush and ivory I believe. It was very subtle but perfect.

[@LadyAngel07162011]

I swear Gok has the best gowns

[@nicolewhite9124]

Yes, he does.

[@katwil89]

Absolutely!

[@Pattyastute]

These episodes are newer compared to David Emanuel and Randy’s. Hence the collection looks better in Gok’s store: new, edgy, pretty.

[@karma-lg3gf]

@@Pattyastute there older episodes of goks. That also has stunning gowns

[@belmarmom]

David Emanuel needs to take a few lessons from Gok on how to give a bride everything she wants and still remain within her budget.

[@Linaskye143]

And how to pick multiple different KINDS of dresses. I swear he’s got the same 10 dresses in his shop all the time.

I'm becoming a huge Essence of Australia fan. So feminine, fancy without being over the top, and so very bridal. Great choice.

[@katwil89]

I agree. They also seem to be relatively affordable compared to some of the others.

[@JodiLeaSnakeQueen]

They have amazing dresses

[@SallyG554]

That’s what our daughter chose - a beautiful, reasonably priced dress.

[@StormChaser_xoxo]

I totally tried one on recently and since I don't have a date I couldn't commit, but I think I'll be sticking to them for future fittings

[@Sauvium1]

Their dresses are lovely! I’m wearing one in a few weeks time! ❤️

[@susanbashynski1373]

I'm not a prude by any stretch of the imagination, but it's refreshing to see a young, beautiful bride say yes to a romantic, princess gown once in a while. BTW, getting a Say Yes To The Dress episode with Gok in it is like opening a fantastic Christmas present! :)

[@heidiquayle5054]

I enjoyed that too. I also loved that Gok took HER vision which was traditional and fluffy and sweet - and only showed her dresses that really spoke to that vision.

[@catezaida8081]

This is my favorite version of Say Yes To The Dress. Gok and his assistants are so caring and spot on with what the bride wants. They truly do magic in their ability to know exactly what the brides vision is. I love these people.

[@nessadee1840]

Love the idea of a bride in blush and the bridesmaids in ivory

[@sassytbc7923]

It seems like what the bridesmaids are wearing is too close to the bride’s dress.

I do too, it sounds lovely!

Essence of Australia dresses are always so stunning and always a pretty decent price compared to others especially with how beautiful they are.

[@simmiedavissimmiesings8185]

I love it when the moms cheer for their daughter. Gok is an amazing human and tops at what he does.

[@b.j.loveislove9090]

Did I hear correctly? She had the dress customized & was holding her breath hoping everyone liked it? Then Gok staged this right by putting her in the 2 previous dresses before THE ONE... leading all to a unanimous decision of YES to the custom (last) dress! Brilliant!!

[@genevieva_b]

i don't think it was entirely custom made, rather that some alterations were made to a pre-existing gown. apparently they adorned the straps, you can even see the pins along them.

[@haleycook3397]

My favorite version of syttd. Gok cares so much about the brides but at the same time doesn't discredit the opinion of the entourage. And best yet the dresses are so beautiful and different. You never see 2 brides walk out in the same dress and Gok isn't afraid to customise the dress to suit the brides vision WITHOUT causing all the drama. If I hadn't got married already I'd have loved to have done to him for my dress 😍

[@danaw.9572]

I watch these things and Love it when the Mom is so blown away by the beauty of her daughter, showing so much support. Wish I had moments like that to remember.

I just recently saw a picture from a wedding where the bride did the blush dress & white for the bridesmaids. It was stunning!!!!! ❤️

[@CF1971]

I don't like that mom keeps saying "that isn't the dress for me" "it's not what I want" "it's not my dress". I think this wedding is for the mom?

[@jemmaj2919]

it just means "it isnt the dress I envisioned for you", very polite way of saying "I don't like it"

[@robynsalaver4069]

I cringed every time she said it.

[@ayeshalooyestyn5757]

I couldn’t agree more! I’m so beyond seeing Mother’s of the bride or even future mother in laws making the whole dress buying experience about themselves. As sad as it is It makes me so happy knowing that my mother will never have the privilege of being in a dress shop with me or even being at my wedding. She is so toxic & I can only imagine how much more stressful finding a dress with her in any store with me would be.

[@CF1971]

@@ayeshalooyestyn5757 I'm glad you have the strength to advocate for yourself and know what's best for your own well being. It's not an easy place to get to!

[@Dalsemien]

Oh please, get over yourselves. What she said was nothing strange at all.

[@minanes6549]

I think when Mum says 'it's not my dress' she simply means it's not what she envisaged her daughter in, rather than she's being dogmatic against the other ideas. She had a vision of what she thought she wanted to see, and it turned out 'her' dress and her daughter's idea of the dress was a lot closer than she thought. I love how this little group got to the right frock between them!

YES! Exactly.

[@KellyBKuhns41803]

All this "my dress" from the mother 🙄 The bride had more patience than I would've.

The dress she picked was stunningly beautiful! Everyone in agreement! Bride was right on blush!

[@bridgetcooney5085]

Mom keeps saying it's "not my dress". You're right mom, it's not your dress, stop trying to take ownership of your daughter's wedding.

[@RiaGreece12]

But she didn't try to own it.She said her part and what she preferred and everybody respected it and she respected her daughter's choice/opinion.

Auntie Gok! What a happy day to see Gok's smiling face in the thumbnail!

[@e.v.8949]

I wish her mum didn't say that comment about her shape. That was a bit too disparaging for my taste. She's got a lovely figure and she looked beautiful in all the dresses she tried on, mermaid or not.

[@outlookesp]

She didn`t critisize her shape bujt said figure-hugging didn`t suit her....

[@fee_beezz]

Not every style suits every figure, it wasn't an insult.

[@awright8416]

Yes, I think the bride was hurt by that comment, irrespective of what her mother actually meant.

[@wilmaknickersfit]

I think the mum was trying her best not to say something hurtful, but it didn't work out. I suspect that the two have a history about her weight?

[@jokl89]

I think the other dresses suited her better. If she would have loved it it would be a different story, but she didn’t look so happy and shiny in the mermaid one.

[@neve_isobel3549]

It's quite amusing to watch mother and daughter have different tastes yet come in wearing the same wrap type dress when they walk in .. relate to this so much. Me and my sister's the same! 😂

[@jennydrumm7223]

Wow! All 3 dresses were fantastic! The 2nd was my least favorite because of the way it suddenly pinches the waist in, but despite my general dislike of anything fishtail, THAT one was great! The 3rd one was really beautiful!! The only thing to me was that the waistline seemed a bit high. One thing I really don't like in ANY dress - not just wedding dresses - is an empire waistline. This one wasn't quite as high as that but didn't seem to fall at her natural waist. However, the beauty of the rest of the dress, and her love of it, totally outshines that!

[@gwenmartinsen3979]

Maybe when she gets it made to her measurements, the waist will be in the right place.

[@anam.aria.]

The best compliment ever: "there's nothing wrong with it" 😂😬😍

no its not your dress mother

[@jemmaj2919]

Those complaining: "not the dress for me" just a polite way of saying I don't like it, "doesn't tick my vision for you"... mum knows it isn't her dress, but she is there to tell the bride whether she likes it OR not

[@melrobertson2743]

It's not about her vision of what the bride should wear because her daughter is a grown woman and not what "this is what I've always dreamed since you were a little girl with no opinion "

[@jemmaj2919]

@@melrobertson2743 but you don't invite ppl to share their opinion if you aren't interested in listening. Every mum has dreams and it is OK, she didn't force her daughter to wear white, she accepted blush with no resistance

[@peanutsassyathena]

The bride's mother is so sweet! She wants the absolute best for her daughter and it shows. I don't see that many mothers rise out of their seat and rush to hug the bride telling her how beautiful she is. When the mother didn't feel a dress was "the right dress" she was always soft spoken about it and respectful to the bride.

People put their blood sweat and tears and time and focus into those dresses and the money that the bride pays dosen't all go to those hard working designer's, its split between the store the employees and the designer's.

Dear Moms: IT IS NOT YOUR DRESS OR DAY OR WEDDING.

[@NitaCostello]

What irritates me is when parents say, "I wanted..." or "It's not my dress." Parents, it's not your day. It's not your wedding. Having input is one thing, but parents putting additional pressure (to wear what parents want) on brides who are already super stressed is horrible. 😞

All these people in the comments hating on the poor mother! Please stop projecting your own traumatic experiences with your own mothers on this family. I believe what the mother meant was that "This isn't the right dress in MY opinion." She kept emphasising "for ME" and "not MY dress" because she wanted to be clear that it's just her honest opinion and she doesn't mean her daughter can't absolutely love it and decide it is HER dress. Notice how soft spoken she is, how she wasn't going all stern-faced, critical and judgemental. This mother is not toxic at all, just also not into faking opinions she didn't actually agree with.
