Okay...let me just get this off my chest....ladies...PAY for your own dress and get what you want....your Mom, Grandma, MIL, auntie.....they all had their moment in the light....it's YOUR time to shine!! YOU do YOU....all the way! I am sick of seeing other folks influence your decision of how you should look on your day!!!! That's it...I'm done....

[@gwens5093]

People pleasers are people pleasers you can't change them with a speech.

[@BITCHY1234]

10000% AGREED

[@Gigi-14]

I made that mistake and allowed my Mom & sister to bully me into the dress they wanted. It was a beautiful dress, but still regret it to this day that I didn’t choose what I wanted and didn’t even get to try on what I wanted 🤷‍♀️

[@mistybollinger3312]

Amen sister!! Took the words right out of my mouth!!

[@freyja6360]

I agree but I would also add that if you're a person who wants to pay for the bride's dress don't treat her like a doll to dress as you wish. Parents who do that don't treat it as a (wonderful) gift but rather as a way to show their importance and boss around their daughter for the (hopefully) last time.

[@silviam5195]

1st dress was perfect! Made her figure really stand out and the bride really loved it as well. I don’t know why you would consider others opinions..it’s your wedding day not theirs 🤷‍♀️

[@alzychoze6591]

That first dress would have won with a detachable skirt-

[@dietotaku]

1st dress was very hollywood and very NYE but didn't really look bridal, more red carpet. not that the 2nd or 3rd dresses were much better though. i wish they had kept looking.

[@Moonknightize]

I agree

[@aetamat]

It is only for me a red flag, when somebody says: I was right for 26 years, and am right this time aswell??? It is hart to stand up for yourself when you were told a lifelong you can't be right, not even in the things about yourself.

[@Soniaks]

The first dress fit her so perfectly and accentuated her body so well. In my humble opinion I thought it was the best one she had tried on. It’s a shame she cared too much of what her mother wanted.

[@sheilasullivan1950]

Only means one thing..mum owns the money paying for the day. Elope!!!

[@melissashilkoff]

The last two dresses didn't even compare to the first dress! It was absolutely perfect in my opinion

[@jocelynebordage9907]

Another episode of "Mum, it's not YOUR wedding!"

[@avengernemesis7990]

Yes I agree... Boring...mother had her wedding years ago..I am sure mother chose her own dress. Australia

[@katmcquirk2697]

Hahaha

[@rachel2earth]

I bought my dress without the help of my mother. It was untraditional and I adored it. I put it on at home for my mum, after she knew how in love I was with it. When I tried it on for her at home I could tell she didn't like it. She didn't say anything, showed no emotion at all. Eventually all she could say was "do you like it?" Luckily my friends adored the dress and said how perfect it was for me.

[@katep6179]

I loved the first dress on her, it fitted perfectly and was very old Hollywood like her theme. She looked great in all of them though

[@oliviarix2310]

The first dress was amazing on her! Too bad she got talked out of it.

[@OnLifeandLove]

She shouldn't add the belt. It really disrupts the flow of the sparkles down the waistline

[@cheryl9715]

If your old enough to married pick out your own dress Your mother doesn't matter it's your wedding not hers

[@lisaroenspiess4896]

The last dress she tried on was gorgeous and perfect without the belt. In my opinion a belt doesn’t work with the dress because you can see it doesn’t belong. Why couldn’t they have tried a veil instead?

[@dietotaku]

yeah i thought the whole point of the beading was that it looks like it's cascading down the bodice and skirt like sparks. a belt just cuts the whole effect off.

[@gwens5093]

Sell, sell, sell ... to jack up the price, she is going to buy a veil but a belt most would not think of.

[@wsfggf]

the first dress was stunning, the others were doing nothing for her figure

[@debblouin]

I paid for my daughter’s gown. I would never have used that to influence her choice or manipulate her decision.

[@allicianpeters3595]

She picked the dress that looked the worst on her!! Lol... thanks mom!!!

[@dsquared1950]

Imagine the dress Auntie Gok would have put her in… under budget, 1920’s or Hollywood glam.

[@annedalton289]

She didn’t have self esteem issues or body issues so she never got sent to GOK🤦‍♀️

[@brittaneyjwright]

The first dress really flattered her figure. I loved it on her! I wish she would have stood her ground on that one.

[@marybrown-kencayd277]

Old Hollywood was dress #1. I thought she looked amazing. I understand wanting to please Mom though. I really do hope she has a fabulous wedding.

[@karenacton3854]

Mothers need to be as open minded as the brides are expected to be. Brides should try on every style first then take it from there.

[@GpD79]

I haven't thought of it with this angle before, but it is spot on!

[@hazelreflection]

David Emmanuel can be lovely, but the way he always goes “My work here is done” at the end of every appointment and walks away, is something I could do without 😒😆

[@dietotaku]

lol he's the tuxedo mask meme DAVID: my work here is done! BRIDE: but you didn't do anything DAVID: [wooshes away]

[@lucisue53]

Also - he always says, "ooooh" when a bride first steps onto the riser, perhaps trying to sell the dress by implying his approval. Doesn't matter what the dress actually looks like - it is always, "oooooh".

[@RaquelPereira-fj4kt]

@@lucisue53 lol

[@RaquelPereira-fj4kt]

he's never lovely

[@hollyhenison9345]

He always comes across so fake

[@lidiasidoruk976]

the first one was the best one, I don't know why brides get swayed from the original idea because someone else doesn't like it. I wouldn't care about others' opinion.

[@catladyfromky4142]

I liked the first one too. But the one she picked works well for the New Year. As long as she is happy, I feel she will rock it.

[@judithburke1539]

She brought her mother along because she wanted to include her in the shopping trip and it's possible that Mum might be paying for the dress. The final dress with the belt and the bling is a compromise and pleased both Mum and daughter!

[@jancallaway8498]

FirSt one was the wjnnet

[@MrsSherrymcm]

I agree

[@whatevergoesforme5129]

Even though I also prefer the first dress, it is obvious this bride cares a lot of what her mother thinks. She is the bride and not us so it doesn't matter what we want and if we care about the opinion of others or not. This bride cares so she is willing to compromise.

[@jemmaj2919]

Belt ruined the flow of the dress

[@lilly_ann]

I agree with the majority here. The first one was amazing for her figure. Suited her ver well.

[@antoinette4729]

The first dress was perfect. Her instinctive first choice was the best

[@graedot]

Mom didn't understand the assignment. That first one was a perfect 20s, New Years Eve party dress!

[@ronyagpd]

I think when family and friends go with the bride to choose a dress they really should focus on the BRIDE'S taste, not their own - regardless of who is paying for it - or not go shopping!! That first dress was perfect for a New Year's Eve wedding and would definitely have got the groom's vote!

[@onepanwonders3579]

1st dress was hands down the best. I hope she reconsiders. She looked gorgeous in it. The others were frumpy.

[@jeffgoodenough9932]

Hello from USA I loved the first dress she looked absolutely gorgeous in that wedding dress.

[@championfortheunderdog]

The bride is the star Mom should compliment and not compete

[@BasicYTHandle]

Budget: £1,000-1,500. Dress #3: £1,567 ("just a little bit over budget" - PLUS the cost of the belt, which now becomes part of the cost of the dress, exclusive of the veil). Dress #1: £1,648 (10% over budget). Dress #2: £2,038 (36% over budget - WHY did they show this dress?). Even with +4.5% (plus the cost of the belt), a budget is still a budget. Why even bother to ask when the lowest-price dress is over budget?

[@dietotaku]

they always do this. brides who come in with a budget of 1000-1500 get dresses in the 1500-2500 range. brides who come in with a 3000-5000 budget get the bargain-bin dresses on clearance for 750.

[@gwens5093]

When you go to buy anything you never reveal you max or you have not wiggle room.

[@annedalton289]

They show brides dresses In dress Budget ! The the bride does t like it ! She agrees to go over budget ! Nothing to do with the shop or consultants 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

“Off you go” as if he is addressing children. So pompous. “My work here is done”. Can’t stand him.

He's really condescending. It amazes me how he keeps congratulating himself on designing Princess Di's horrific gown.

[@gatzwolffadventures]

He didnt help shop for the dress? He didnt help the stylist? He didnt help grt mom on board?

[@janemacintyre9801]

He is so condescending. Doesn't even acknowledge the bride when the arrive for their pre-booked appointment. "So who's my bride"? arhh

[@juliavanhoose]

I hate that she didn’t get the first one. It was much better suited for her theme and she seemed to really like it. When I get my dress, I’m going by myself. I don’t need anyones approval and I don’t want it.

[@hembafantilley-gyado9168]

The first dress was very beautiful on her. Who cares how long the mom has been married the dress is only on for one day.

[@victoriousvalentine9779]

Mum has not “always been right”. She is accustomed to being submitted to☹️

[@Moonknightize]

I loved the first dress. She looked amazing. Not that she didn't look beautiful in the dress she picked, but the 1st dress showed off her figure

[@macy6012]

consultants shouldve shown her a fringey, sparkly, 1920s dress! and there could even be lace on it. this episode was disappointing

[@anjee.3261]

That first dress was gorgeous.. Definitely old Hollywood glamour... Suited her figure down to a T... The other two dresses looked a bit drab... But that's just my opinion. Hope she looked wonderful on her wedding day

[@Kimiski]

The first dress was PERFECT. T_T

[@HeronCoyote1234]

I actually didn’t care for any of the dresses. None were really that flattering. The first one fit the venue the best, but satin is completely unforgiving (every lump and bump shows!).

[@freyja6360]

Comedy gold. Mom's wearing a dress that looks like a summer apron and is sporting a Karen haircut but she's under the impression that she's right about fashion (for 26 years!🤣) while wanting to add a belt to a dress with beads cascading down the skirt. It completely ruins the flow of the beading.

[@warpzoneable]

She has an amazing figure and the last dress did nothing for her at all, I wished she stood her ground and chose the first one or at least something in the same fabric that is mermaid style

[@jacobytaylor4806]

First dress wow

[@sngray11]

I am surprised that they didn’t put a veil on her in the dress she chose! But perhaps she only wants to wear a tiara or a flower crown of some sort? 🤔 Regardless, she looks stunning and I wish her all the best. 💗

[@lindaallen8800]

My daughter tried on a number of dresses and I thought she looked beautiful in all of them. What is wrong with these mothers?

It always baffles me that the pickiest person about the dress or fashion in general are usually the out of fashion not stylish people. I’m legitimately confused. Not trying to sound mean 😮

What is it with moms and them wanting lace on their daughter’s wedding dress? My mom and I had the same issue when I married in 1981.

[@melodied4314]

Mom was 100?% correct about dress 1 (liked nothing about it) and dress 2 (loved it). Dress 3 was the perfect New Year's Eve dress.

[@kristinataddei8138]

The first dress!!....the first dress!!....she should have stuck to her guns, and not settled....that first dress really flattered her figure, like it was made specifically for her....but I know that if my mom didn't like that dress I probably would have not pushed for what I wanted, either!!... compromise.... compromise.... compromise!!!....

[@georgielancaster1356]

Emanuel and the assistant in this are the most irritating people on these dress shows. If I walked into a dress shop and saw either of them. I would say, "#@$@ no!" and turn on my heel and leave. But I would only go to Gok or Jo and Al but I will never want a wedding dress - so it's just a theoretical thought.

[@tjhill4044]

I really want to know how mothers dare to challenge the taste of their daughters on their marriage dress.

[@MLMLW]

It may have come in 67 pounds over budget but they also have to add in the cost of the belt as well which is probably somewhere between one hundred to two hundred pounds. I hate that the mother had to be so opinionated. When shopping with my daughters for their gowns I allowed them to pick the one they felt most beautiful in whether I favored it or not.

[@GpD79]

Her entourage led her astray. Out of all of the SYTTD episodes, this one I think about the most. She looked absolutely arresting in the first dress! A SHOW STOPPER, as if she were an A-list celebrity getting married.
