I just don’t understand the “bling belt” they add to everything. I think it makes the dress look cheap. People seem to love it, I think it takes away from the dress every single time!
I don't understand it either. It always looks like an afterthought. I wore a blue sash on my dress with my grandmother's vintage brooch. It was my something old and something blue.
i think I remember someone saying a belt was to create a hourglass shape/give shape to your outfit. maybe that’s why they add the belt? to be glam and give shape?? not sure if it’s true tho
Ok I get what you’re saying - but my kibbe type is flamboyant gamine and that means I need to break up my vertical line - I don’t look my best in one unbroken line of color - I need to separate my top half from my bottom half - that means a belt usually!!
I think it's kinda evil that they put the brides in dresses that go so much over budget and make them fall in love with them and put all that pressure for them to fork out thousands of dollars more than what they said they were willing to pay. If the budget is 500 and they don't have 500$ dresses, turn the client away. If the budget is 1000$ and they DO have 1000$ dresses but keep showing them 2k ones, that's just mean-spirited. I like watching the videos when it's about dress choices but i hate when it's about budget.
@@oki__ I think that depends on which bride. One was fully willing to put hundreds of dollars of her money into the dress but the other was relying entirely on her grandmother as far as we know.
a wedding dress like any gown is an intricate affair that is usually tailored specifically to the person buying it (unless it is on sale but then you need to alter it which can also be quite pricy 200 dollars at the very least but usually more than that I'd say). In general I think we forget how much effort it is to make a beautiful gown like a wedding dress. As an example, if the person making the dress needs 10 hours for the whole process and they get paid a living wage let's say 10-20 dollars an hour then the cost of making that dress without materials is 100-200 dollars alone. For a nice gown you need at least 2 meters of 2 to three different fabrics (lining etc.) which can be quite expensive if the material is decent so that is another 50 to 500 maybe even thousand dollars in materials (real high quality silk can go for hundreds of dollars a meter). Then you would end up with 150 to 700 plus production costs alone for one gown. Now these brands and stores need to make money. For fast fashion they usually sell the garment for roughly ten times the production cost (sometimes more sometimes less). So if it costs 150 dollars to make one gown most brands will probably sell it for 3 to 10 times the production cost so a standard non shitty labour conditions sown gown would be sold for at least 450 dollars or 1500 dollars. I think we often forget that high quality clothes are expensive. And wedding gowns are harder to make so naturally they are way more expensive (that's a gown not a t-shirt). 500 dollars for a well made dress is really not that much. I get that it's still a lot of money but it is really unrealistic to get a decent quality dress for 500 dollars in a boutique like the ones from syttd for many of them 500 dollars probably barely covers the production costs. If one is shopping in that price range a department store, home made or a mall are the way to go.
That consultant was so wrong for putting that woman in an $1800 dress. She originally stated that she wouldn't go above $1500, so they should have stuck to that
When I worked in a bridal salon, we would sell sample dresses at or below cost mostly because we needed to get rid of them and often they had some damage from being tried on by multiple people. I don't know about Kleinfelds, but generally the mark up on bridal gowns is lower than the mark up on regular clothes.
They didn’t necessarily make a profit on it. Sometimes you need to take a loss to open up inventory space. If it was already on sale they probably didn’t expect to make much profit on it anyway and wanted to just wash on it
I see why the daughter thought $500 was too low, but $1500 is a good budget. Why would the consultant go from showing them a $500 dress to an $1800 one, and make them think they had to go over budget to get good quality? That's a lil shady...
They want to get rid of that seasons stock fast. If it was on sale already then they probably just wanted to get rid of it to make room for the new dresses in the next season. Read between the lines
@oki__ If they want to get rid of dresses, that's fine, but don't go over budget. I'm sure they had dresses that were below the 1500 budget. I'd be pissed if they put me in a dress, had me fall in love with it, and then go, "yeah its $300 over."
Agreed. And I have a feeling the saleswoman picked out a $500 dress she knew wasn't the most flattering so she could convince them that they 'needed' to spend more. Not to speak for all salespeople - but they're quite literally trained to swindle people. My cousin worked as one once and she was always getting reprimanded and retrained for actually listening to customers when they said something was too expensive and helping them find things that actually fit what they wanted. Definitely do your research before going to these boutique styled wedding shops. I'm noticing a lot of the more exclusive shops have begun hiding the prices of the dresses online, so be careful with where you buy, even if you do have a larger budget. They ARE shady bc they know they can pressure you and manipulate you into feeling like you HAVE to buy more.
Kleinfeld's verus David Bridal's is kind of comparing Sak's Fifth Avenue or Nordstrom's versus Macy's Not to be respectful but David's does not carry "designer" dresses. if they do it is their "third" level ie. Vera Wang once sold a version of White at David's. It defnitely was not the quality of her haute couture. Still beautiful and Definitely Vera but the fabrics and construction were certainly cheaper. What I like to see is clearance dresses that make brides happy and doing some creative alterations to make dreams happen ie an overskirt done simpply wiht tule and elastic.
@@catladyfromky4142 it’s more so that in general it’s not impossible and there are options, though it might not be at Kleinfeld. There’s also sales, buying the sample, etc that cut cost if a bride is set on designer. No need to be rude
@@skaterboy-cz9wjMore so saying that $2000 isn’t an impossible budget! Just might need to shop elsewhere. Or catch a good sale on a designer or a nice off the rack. The average amount a bride spends is $2200.
Luke, do one with the most expensive ones, please? Most os them are horrendous but the bride thinks that they are perfect because of the famous designer.
I would totally do it. I would send in pictures of me in the strapless dress that like fell off at the reception (I had an ivory corset underneath so it was okay). I had food poisoning the week of my wedding and was skinny as a rail to begin with.
phyllis gave those jingle bell girlies a stern talking to. you BETTER ring those bells for her dream dress even if it's the ugliest thing you've ever seen
But then why invite them along in the first place? If she knows what she wants, she should just go by herself and buy it instead of bringing a dozen people with her and expecting them to smile, nod, and lie.
@@ttintagelit’s not about “expecting them to lie”. The tradition is about sharing the experience with the people most important to you. Even when I go ordinary shopping with friends if I’m with a friend who I know is more sensitive or easily swayed by outside opinions I’ll encourage them towards the choice I can tell will make them happy. Cause they’re my friend and isn’t the point that they find something they like? In situations like that I guess I just don’t feel like I need my opinion to be heard so bad that I would sacrifice a good time and a forever memory with a friend just to voice: hey I don’t like that thing. Sure, they could work on being less sensitive or people pleasing or whatever - but nobody’s perfect, we all need friends, and I can be a friend and help them out.
@@fizzigigsimmer6090 It's not actually a "tradition" at all. It may be a widespread practice now, but it's a fairly recent development, like turning the bachelorette party into a luxury vacation. If you bring people with you shopping for a dress, the expectation is that you want their opinion on said dress. The expectation for them is that they will give it politely but honestly. Otherwise there's no point and you've just made everything harder on everybody for no reason.
@@ttintagel What is it that you think tradition means? People create traditions in their friend groups and their families every day. I'm not sure why we're policing how long something has to be done culturally before random folks on the internet can call it a tradition lol. But since dress shopping has been happening for at least three generations within my own family I'm 100% comfy calling it a tradition. And in my own experience with that tradition, the event is about the bride sharing a special moment with their loved ones. If I'm not the bride then it doesn't matter whether or not I think the dress is right in the end. I can give my honest opinion without being an ass, and I can read the room to know when it's time to just be supportive and have a nice moment with my friend. It's that simple.
@@fizzigigsimmer6090 You can define any word however you like. You can be as comfy as you like calling a cat a dog, but you can't pretend to be offended when other people hear it meow and say, "Nice kitty." A tradition is a tradition and a fad is a fad, and the latter doesn't come with an established set of rules and expectations like the former. If you expect the people you're bringing along on a social media/reality TV trend to lie to your face, you need to spell that out to them before they decide whether or not to be involved.
you should watch say yes to the dress with tan france. they have more versatile dresses and represent so many cultures, not just white culture. that would be interesting
Per the first one, I got married on December 26th. The church was already decorated so I didn’t have to do anything additional. We did take out the Christmas tree and Nativity scene on the alter platform. I did lean into Holiday floral and greenery for bouquet, corsages, etc. It was not my plan for a Christmas wedding, but my husband got deployment orders so we just went for it. This was 36 years ago.
I wouldn't allow my mother or any of those other people to go with me to buy a dress unless they were made to wear duct tape over their mouths. I've watched a few of these and the mom always, always, wants a "princess" dress. The producers need to come up with a new script.
First you’re adorable. I haven’t read the other comments and I’m sure someone has probably told you this but I’m the south “raising cane” means basically raising Hell. I’m a Southerner and I heard my grandparents say that a lot. I love the bridal tv shows! When the lady wanted to spend only £500 on a dress you said something about the cost of having it altered. My daughter was married 6 years ago and she found the dress of her dreams for $800. Well she lost 40 pounds before the wedding and it cost $1200 to have it altered! I can only imagine what the prices are now… please keep making your videos especially the bridal show ones. I love them!
I have noticed devices tend to correct words improperly at times. My phone turns versus into verses every time even though it is wrong. Adding the correction will help people understand our devices aren’t always correct. My son’s devices have him stuck on thinking paid is payed.
If my Nana offered to buy me a dress I would stay within budget! Been with my fiancé since 2010, we've been talking about secretly eloping this month because saving up for a big family wedding is not in the cards right now. I think these brides are very entitled when someone offered to buy them a dress, and they try to guilt them into going over budget!
I think the one where the older lady only wanted to pay 500 it was a split payment situation where the bride would pay the rest of the cost of the dress over 500.
@awolters5827 Ohh, well it sounds like she raised her, I thought she was paying the whole thing? They made the joke about her keeping money under a mattress, and that girl was pretty young, didn't sound like she was saving up, if she was even working.
@@briannam916 I think we might be talking about 2 different brides. edit: I think there are 2 brides in the video where a relative wanted to only spend 500, and the one I was thinking of came first in the video.
did those people really expect an old grandmother in the USA - someone who probably doesn't have much money - to spend thousands on just a dress for her grandchild? absolutely disgusting. if the bride wants this dress, then pay it for it yourself, if you're not willing then don't make an old woman fork out her money for your delusions of elegance.
Correction: GREAT grandchild. Also, she's basically at the peak of her youth, go get a job. At least a summer job and use everything you earned to buy the dress you want. Also, 2k or more for ONE dress? I don't live there, but isn't 2k like a whole month's salary for a regular well paying job?
@@aylenvillarreal5439 2k is basically the price of most gowns, and that is across most currencies. In my country usually prices start at around 800€ and go up from there. I've talked to a seamstress and she told me that custom made gowns will be about the same price. Wedding dresses are expensive because of the kind of materials used, aswell as the fact they're not usually produced in bulk, but by order. I do agree that it's unreasonable from the bride to be expecting other people to fork out for her dress, she should take whatever the grandma is able to give her and pay the difference out of her own pocket.
@@aylenvillarreal5439 That she and her daughter (the girl's grandmother) raised. It's not unheard of for a bride's family to buy their dress. You don't know if the bride is paying for the rest of her wedding. You don't know if they have been putting money up to buy her a wedding dress. Chances are these two women raising their grand and great grand daugther have looked forward to seeing her on her wedding day.
@@trevordonaldson7634 Ummm... I'm sure they said very clearly that the grandma ans great grandma are paying her side of the wedding. I still think it is A LOT, for anyone for that matter, to spend a whole month's salary or more on ONE dress. Let alone, ask someone else to do it for you. As much as I'm sure these two sweet women are looking forward to the wedding, I still think that it was a lot to ask. But oh well, I'm from Argentina, we definetely live in different realities. I some times just cannot understand people from the US
I feel when you have a budget and you are like that is the highest i feel comfortable going. DONT then pick out a dress that is $1000 or more over . That is what i like about the say yes to the dress from the UK they listen where the ones from the USA are like we are blowing that budget out the water. You really only wear that dress 1 time and unless you have a daughter you can hand that gown off too it goes to wast .
as someone who's never had that much money i can't even fathom how they're ok with requesting such a huge amount of money for a dress they're only gonna wear once like... if u want the 2k dress then pay for it? dont complain that ur mom or old granny is too cheap? 500 is alr pretty expensive ngl
exactly! ex-fuckin-actly! if you want to spend so much on an expensive dress, then simply buy it yourself! if not, then don't you dare to ask nice old ladies - probably nice old ladies without much savings (it's the USA) - to pay for you. this is absolutely shameless.
there's also the matter of having unrealistic expectations when you are walking into a designer boutique (specifically one like Kleinfelds). If this granny truly thought she could walk out of there for less than $1k+, she's severely out of touch at best and delulu at worst. (Tho I am pretty sure most of the show was manufactured/scripted. Some of the financial drama might be partially true, but once it was filmed they would give the dress away BTS, both as charity in exchange for the family allowing filming, and as a tax write-off.)
@@BlackCatBritt I mean... Idk about all of that, though I think you are right in all aspects regarding the show itself. I just really don't know about the topic enough. What I don't agree with is calling the granny delulu. If you are a retired woman, I don't understand how it is any of your bussiness to keep up with boutique's prices and market. The last time she had to probably worry about buying a really expensive dress for herself or her daughter is probably over 25 years ago at the least, but I would dare to say over 35 to 40 years or even more. We called her granny, but she is actually the great granny of this episode's bride.
I get that some clothes are ridiculously priced, but do not any of these people consider the cost of materials and work hours that it takes to make an intricate dress? Asking for cheap, well fitted, good quality clothing is like a slap in the face of seamstress
I'm from Northern Ireland, part of the UK... My wedding dress was only £850! It's a strapless ball gown (with many netting underskirts etc)of good heavyweight Ivory Mikado, with clear & wine red embroidery & beading across the bust, into a gathered/ruched waist to 1 side & down edge of sort of a false 'wrap-around' piece of material that went from the ruching down to the hemline. There was also the same embroidery & beading down each side of the lacing on the corset back... It also had a little handbag & a wrap/shawl included! Both were made from the same material as the dress, (double thickness on the wrap & colour matched lining material on the inside of the bag), with the same embroidery & beading along the edges of each end of the wrap & around the top edge of the bag! Not sure if my description is doing the dress justice or not, but it was so beautiful & not anything like I thought I would want, (was quite princess-y & girly (completely not me)... I was thinking of something a bit more plain, relaxed, bo-ho, sort of thing, as I am a 'biker' & not really a girly girl at all! Also my hubby & a lot of our friends are all bikers too & the wedding was 'biker' themed with motorbike balloons in each of the table centres, along with motorbike makes as names for each table at reception & a bride, groom & motorbike cake topper! As our wedding was at the end of November (in N. Ireland), it kept me toasty warm, well most of me, though the wrap definitely kept cold off my shoulders & arms! & The wee handbag was such a brilliant idea,! It was perfect for my needs, at the reception & evening party! It meant I could carry things myself that I might need handy! It was big enough so I could carry my phone, purse, small emergency sewing kit, lipstick & touch-up makeup as well as a few other wee things!
Got my wedding dress off ebay. The same designer that made Princess Catherines, but a few years before that wedding so only paid 175 for a silk Jenny Packham gown. Sold it for more than that after the wedding ;)
The shade thrown at Mamie at the end of the video. It's even more funny when you think of how much more common it is for old folks in the USA to hide money under their mattress, compared to the rest of the world. 😂
I'm pretty sure it's cultural trauma of 'runs on the bank' during the Great Depression, when some banks ran out of physical cash and if you hadn't withdrawn already, that money was lost and you were fucked combined with the _lack_ of the US getting shelled during WW2, so those storing money at home never saw it (literally) go up in flames. It'll probably stop soon: not many people left that remember being children in the 1930s/40s
The mom who was obsessed with spending £500 wouldn't bother me so much if she had just said, "I'm contributing x amount." But noooo, she had to try to bully her daughter and the consultant into sticking with an unrealistic budget. It's ignorant. Research dress prices before you go shopping.
Yes the Mother in that episode was crude and controlling. The way she said "Cheap" every time. Gross really! You could tell the daughter has been worn down and controlled all her life. She had the most stooped and droopy posture. I hope she can stand proud at her wedding and do the dress justice. The inlaws were polite but I could tell they were shocked at the Mother's demeanor and behavior. No just no.
I always have a laugh when they say a low-cut, strapless dress "looks like a princess," when the truth is that most royal brides wear very modest dresses with long sleeves.
I had my dress made for me by someone who was a seamstress on LotR; she also did a lot of custom gowns for celebrities for red carpet events in Australia. We stumbled upon her by chance when looking for fabric for my sisters wedding originally. Her prices were amazing considering her skill and portfolio. She was in her early 50s and had decided to step back from the fast-paced work style and decided to do wedding dresses (as well bridesmaids, flower girls, mother of the bride etc) as well as either making or tailoring clothes to fit the person wearing the item perfectly. My wedding dress cost around $650 USD which is insanely cheap! She even came to my parents house the morning of my wedding to help dress me and the wedding party. When she saw what hairstyle I was having she grabbed some extra crystals she’d bought with her and glued them to bobby pins for the hair stylist to use in my hair. In the end she made all the dresses for five weddings in my family (I’m one of six and the youngest is only 20), so she’s become a family friend and gets invited to the weddings now too!
The thing is, with looks and a figure like Jessie's, she would look beautiful in any dress off the rack. She could wear a $500 dress and look better than a lot of brides who spend thousands.
I hate the emotional manipulation they pulled on the last old lady like they went waaaaay over budget like not just twice but that that dress is five times what she was expecting to pay + an extra hundred... That's just insane to do to an old lady... specially one that raised you like WTF. I know the bride is young and seems kind of detached from how much money is actually worth but like that's you grandma are you seriously willing to swindle your own grandma for a single use dress? Like even if you resell it at half the price it still wouldn't cover the difference...
Tell me you live in the USA without telling me you live in the USA: "... after taxes". Goods in the UK have sales taxes included on the price, regardless of them being a sample size or on sale. 🙂
Remember these dresses are NOT in US dollars so if they are 1800 it is actually like a 2500 dollar dress in the US and that was several years ago. Not cheap.
I am loving your winter sweater rotation in your videos. The APRES ski one has been my favorite, but this one might be second fave. Also, marriage is a dead institution, and I feel so sorry for all the girls wasting money on a stupid white dress.
My sister went wedding dress shopping yesterday it’s her second anyways the second to last store we went into she settled on the last two she couldn’t figure out which one she liked so we’re going back tomorrow to decide I like the laced spaghetti strap with floral better then the low cut it was covered it was laced with belt it had strappy sleeves which looked better tucked In it was similar to the other one she tried on 2:30 she’s getting married in September so it would be closer to fall but since the cold got here early we don’t know if it’s going to be hot or cold so she’s thinking about sleeves if it’s cold or wear a sweater it would be like a fall aesthetic
Idk i actually really liked the cheaper priced dress that mami picked out at the end of the episode. The one with all the flowers on it? I thought it was beautiful and very bridal. Especially compared to the style of dress she seemed to prefer, she probably would’ve been better off just buying herself a white prom dress. That seemed to be the style she went for imo and while not cheap by any means still have more budget friendly options
I don't understand why these brides don't pay for their own dresses, especially, if they don't want the opinions of the women that are actually going to pay!?
i cannot understand how they would decide to marry if they cant even afford to buy their own dress.. i'd rather pay for my own etsy/asos wedding dress than get $2000 dresses paid by my mom
The only one who didn't pay for her dress at all was the last one. The first one was buying it herself. The second one took her mom's £500 and put her own £700 on top of it.
@@riellereally Well, say you find someone you want to marry. You and your partner decide to just go to the courthouse because it's cheap. Then your mother starts screaming about how if you don't have a proper wedding for the family, youll break her heart. Whats the obvious response to that? Isn't it "If you want the wedding, you can pay for it."
exactly! pay for it yourself and get the exact dress you want, but if not then don't throw shades at those who actually pay. and not everyone can simply throw out 2000£ on a dress only worn once, many people struggle financially.
I was choosing my dress all alone. My family was on a different continent. But when I sent my mum pictures of my fav dress. She did not said "You look good" or "you look bad" she said "You look so happy in it!". The mother of the bride in this video has her own agenda and it makes me sad for the bride. It's her day FFS!!!
I feel like they bullied an elderly woman. Maybe she is sleeping on a mattress stuffed with money but it is much more likely that she is on a small fixed income. The $2,600 may be several months worth of food and bills for her. (P.S. I know she had a ridiculously unrealistic idea of what wedding dresses cost.)
I couldn’t feel good in a dress if I felt I was making someone financially strain to get it for me. Mamie wants to spend 500, that is still a more than generous contribution for someone who is retired. If you want to go over you should cover the difference. The whole thing came off as manipulative and selfish.
Got my dress from Facebook Marketplace. I did end up loving it and feeling amazing in it on my wedding day. The dress buying experience was a struggle though. I went on my own the first time I went into a dress shop and found the style that I wanted and a possible “Yes” dress. Then I went with my mom and MIL to another store where I found THE dress. I was full on crying and loved everything about it. My mom pointed out things that she didn’t like and I ultimately decided to wait on committing to it. In the meantime she found the dress I ended up wearing, it was after I said yes to it that she let me know my parents were “gifting” it to me. I did not know going in that they were intending on buying the dress. My husband and I had talked about a budget beforehand and reached a number we were happy about, so, I wish my parents would have told me and it would have taken some of the pressure off of looking at the price tag.
It's so heartbreaking to see a group rip a bride to shreds because they don't like a dress- like critique the dress! not the person in it! I do kinda get the budget thing- like you're only going to wear it once, and pretty much whatever you wear people will be happy for you, idk, I'd jsut rather spend the cash on a lush holiday than buy a huge dress 😂 Also, I'm not certain for bridal stores but generally in the UK taxes are included in the price- unless you're buying from a trade place or something weird you expect the price tag to be what you pay
same here, the wedding itself is just one day so I wouldn't be willing to spend so much money on just a dress - and all the other expenses. have a nice, cozy wedding with the spouse of your dreams (because that's the only important part!) and then spend the rest of the money on more important stuff. and it's especially grating if the brides don't pay for the dress themselves but are upset if other won't/can't pay more for them. I'd never ever be shameless enough to ask anyone for so much money for just a dress.
Most of the dresses are more expensive than my wedding in Jamaica with a 2 week holiday and a free upgrade to their nicest ocean view room. I only paid about £60 for my Dress from Asos, it was long sleeve lace with black details. That was 7 years ago.
My mom sews and I’ve always said I want her to make mine. She’s always made me clothes and had to learn how to make clothes for herself because growing up that was her situation. She always instilled in me that well made clothes don’t necessarily need to be expensive. I to this day wear clothes she make for herself in the 70’s and 80’s and they hold up. Her own wedding dress was made for her by women in her community and it’s that tradition that I love. This is just me though ❤ I love watching your videos
I reckon the older family members who go with them (esp that grandma) are thinking about their own dresses, and aren't taking into account inflation and just how much a dress can cost nowadays. A little bit stuck in the past
The price tag mom hurt my heart with her “I’m looking for a dress as cheap as possible” comment. The emphasis on cheap made me think she doesn’t place much worth on her daughter.
I think taxes are included in UK prices. I also agree about £ being expensive; my country’s dollar gets only 50p! That grandma is ready to raise Cain by raising hell with her cane, lol. 😅
I gambled on a Ukrainian dressmaker for my wedding in 2016. Made to measure with slight pattern alterations for just under $1000 and it was BEAUTIFUL with the softest chiffon skirt!
That grandma is probably spending her life savings to buy a one-time wedding dress, as if raising her from child to adulthood wasn’t good enough?! Get a job or don’t get married til you can pay for it!
So glad my mom and I know how to sew. Granted since we are both very tall, it’s not like we had a choice. Hence, my wedding dress was one of a kind and cost less the $200. Oh, and it fit perfectly.
Love your sweater. Is it cashmere? Brides have gotten discounts there before. The first dress is a basic A-line. Dress 3 would work with the full skirts Kleinfeld sells as separates. You wear the overskirt during the ceremony and take it off for the reception for dancing. I'm happy for Bride 2. Bride 3 looks lumpy dumpty. It does not fit. You have to remember that the price does not include the veil or other accessories. Bride 3 looks great in rouching. Mammy's thinking this marriage had better last forever.
Saying Grandma probably will "raise a little Cain" is not about a walking stick. It doesn't mean grandma is going to hit someone with her cane. "Raising Cain" refers to Cain and Abel from the Bible. It means that someone is losing their temper, or creating a disturbing or violent situation.
I just don’t understand the “bling belt” they add to everything. I think it makes the dress look cheap. People seem to love it, I think it takes away from the dress every single time!
Yes! In terrible taste.
People often think bling makes things fancier but can’t afford the actual bling so they overload on rhinestones which cheapens everything
I don't understand it either. It always looks like an afterthought. I wore a blue sash on my dress with my grandmother's vintage brooch. It was my something old and something blue.
i think I remember someone saying a belt was to create a hourglass shape/give shape to your outfit. maybe that’s why they add the belt? to be glam and give shape?? not sure if it’s true tho
Ok I get what you’re saying - but my kibbe type is flamboyant gamine and that means I need to break up my vertical line - I don’t look my best in one unbroken line of color - I need to separate my top half from my bottom half - that means a belt usually!!
I think it's kinda evil that they put the brides in dresses that go so much over budget and make them fall in love with them and put all that pressure for them to fork out thousands of dollars more than what they said they were willing to pay.

I like watching the videos when it's about dress choices but i hate when it's about budget.
The budget wasn’t $500, that was just the number the mother/grandmother was stuck on. Not the bride

As an example, if the person making the dress needs 10 hours for the whole process and they get paid a living wage let's say 10-20 dollars an hour then the cost of making that dress without materials is 100-200 dollars alone. For a nice gown you need at least 2 meters of 2 to three different fabrics (lining etc.) which can be quite expensive if the material is decent so that is another 50 to 500 maybe even thousand dollars in materials (real high quality silk can go for hundreds of dollars a meter). Then you would end up with 150 to 700 plus production costs alone for one gown. Now these brands and stores need to make money. For fast fashion they usually sell the garment for roughly ten times the production cost (sometimes more sometimes less). So if it costs 150 dollars to make one gown most brands will probably sell it for 3 to 10 times the production cost so a standard non shitty labour conditions sown gown would be sold for at least 450 dollars or 1500 dollars.
I think we often forget that high quality clothes are expensive. And wedding gowns are harder to make so naturally they are way more expensive (that's a gown not a t-shirt). 500 dollars for a well made dress is really not that much.
I get that it's still a lot of money but it is really unrealistic to get a decent quality dress for 500 dollars in a boutique like the ones from syttd for many of them 500 dollars probably barely covers the production costs. If one is shopping in that price range a department store, home made or a mall are the way to go.
@@xylypotatohead3947thats all beside the point. They should just tell the bride that and not show them higher prices than their budget.
@@KM-rt5jj if this wasn't a tv show they probably would just tell them to leave yeah
That consultant was so wrong for putting that woman in an $1800 dress. She originally stated that she wouldn't go above $1500, so they should have stuck to that
that store pretty much ALWAYS puts brides in a dress higher than their budget
Then the vail is very expensive as well.
This is way to tight she can’t gain a pound or sneeze in this.
This bride has a bit of a belly she might try on a different style.
The fact they easily sell a $3,300 dress for $1,999 and still make a profit says a lot about the profit margins of wedding dresses
When I worked in a bridal salon, we would sell sample dresses at or below cost mostly because we needed to get rid of them and often they had some damage from being tried on by multiple people. I don't know about Kleinfelds, but generally the mark up on bridal gowns is lower than the mark up on regular clothes.
I love it when people who have never had to set margins talk about margins.
That’s how most things that are sold work.
Issa scaaaaam peoples!
They didn’t necessarily make a profit on it. Sometimes you need to take a loss to open up inventory space. If it was already on sale they probably didn’t expect to make much profit on it anyway and wanted to just wash on it
We NEED you to react to the bridesmaid edition. There were some true monstrosities
Oh trust me, he has!
There is a show like that…
Some ladies just LOVE those monstrosities. I’ve seen them coming down the aisle.
I see why the daughter thought $500 was too low, but $1500 is a good budget. Why would the consultant go from showing them a $500 dress to an $1800 one, and make them think they had to go over budget to get good quality? That's a lil shady...
Exactly, she knows there is an in-between. 😂
They want to get rid of that seasons stock fast. If it was on sale already then they probably just wanted to get rid of it to make room for the new dresses in the next season. Read between the lines
I had to stop watching the show because of the shady consultants.
@oki__ If they want to get rid of dresses, that's fine, but don't go over budget. I'm sure they had dresses that were below the 1500 budget. I'd be pissed if they put me in a dress, had me fall in love with it, and then go, "yeah its $300 over."
Agreed. And I have a feeling the saleswoman picked out a $500 dress she knew wasn't the most flattering so she could convince them that they 'needed' to spend more. Not to speak for all salespeople - but they're quite literally trained to swindle people.
My cousin worked as one once and she was always getting reprimanded and retrained for actually listening to customers when they said something was too expensive and helping them find things that actually fit what they wanted. Definitely do your research before going to these boutique styled wedding shops. I'm noticing a lot of the more exclusive shops have begun hiding the prices of the dresses online, so be careful with where you buy, even if you do have a larger budget. They ARE shady bc they know they can pressure you and manipulate you into feeling like you HAVE to buy more.
I used to work at David’s bridal and I’ve sold a many wedding dresses under $1000, even $500. So $2000 being cheap is 😅
David's Bridal is not Kleinfeld. Ypu should know that.
Kleinfeld's verus David Bridal's is kind of comparing Sak's Fifth Avenue or Nordstrom's versus Macy's Not to be respectful but David's does not carry "designer" dresses. if they do it is their "third" level ie. Vera Wang once sold a version of White at David's. It defnitely was not the quality of her haute couture. Still beautiful and Definitely Vera but the fabrics and construction were certainly cheaper. What I like to see is clearance dresses that make brides happy and doing some creative alterations to make dreams happen ie an overskirt done simpply wiht tule and elastic.
@@catladyfromky4142 it’s more so that in general it’s not impossible and there are options, though it might not be at Kleinfeld. There’s also sales, buying the sample, etc that cut cost if a bride is set on designer. No need to be rude
@@skaterboy-cz9wjMore so saying that $2000 isn’t an impossible budget! Just might need to shop elsewhere. Or catch a good sale on a designer or a nice off the rack. The average amount a bride spends is $2200.
Luke, do one with the most expensive ones, please? Most os them are horrendous but the bride thinks that they are perfect because of the famous designer.
Those god-awful Pnina Tornais!
Luke's viewers should send in photos of them in their wedding dresses to be roasted!! I'd love to see that. I'd also participate 😅
I would love to see what he would say about mine haha
OK that would be funny as hell!!!
I would totally do it. I would send in pictures of me in the strapless dress that like fell off at the reception (I had an ivory corset underneath so it was okay). I had food poisoning the week of my wedding and was skinny as a rail to begin with.
If you’re buying your dress at Kleinfeld, you’re not buying a “cheap” dress
Yes! Why is it always like they walk in to Kleinfeld and then asking for a chep dress?.. They know where they went right?
“She’s giving, she’s not giving her money but she’s giving “ 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Luke’s face when Randy was fussing at the first bride’s jingle bell group was adorable.
phyllis gave those jingle bell girlies a stern talking to. you BETTER ring those bells for her dream dress even if it's the ugliest thing you've ever seen
But then why invite them along in the first place? If she knows what she wants, she should just go by herself and buy it instead of bringing a dozen people with her and expecting them to smile, nod, and lie.
@@ttintagelit’s not about “expecting them to lie”. The tradition is about sharing the experience with the people most important to you. Even when I go ordinary shopping with friends if I’m with a friend who I know is more sensitive or easily swayed by outside opinions I’ll encourage them towards the choice I can tell will make them happy. Cause they’re my friend and isn’t the point that they find something they like? In situations like that I guess I just don’t feel like I need my opinion to be heard so bad that I would sacrifice a good time and a forever memory with a friend just to voice: hey I don’t like that thing. Sure, they could work on being less sensitive or people pleasing or whatever - but nobody’s perfect, we all need friends, and I can be a friend and help them out.
@@fizzigigsimmer6090 It's not actually a "tradition" at all. It may be a widespread practice now, but it's a fairly recent development, like turning the bachelorette party into a luxury vacation.
If you bring people with you shopping for a dress, the expectation is that you want their opinion on said dress. The expectation for them is that they will give it politely but honestly. Otherwise there's no point and you've just made everything harder on everybody for no reason.
@@ttintagel What is it that you think tradition means? People create traditions in their friend groups and their families every day. I'm not sure why we're policing how long something has to be done culturally before random folks on the internet can call it a tradition lol. But since dress shopping has been happening for at least three generations within my own family I'm 100% comfy calling it a tradition. And in my own experience with that tradition, the event is about the bride sharing a special moment with their loved ones. If I'm not the bride then it doesn't matter whether or not I think the dress is right in the end. I can give my honest opinion without being an ass, and I can read the room to know when it's time to just be supportive and have a nice moment with my friend. It's that simple.
@@fizzigigsimmer6090 You can define any word however you like. You can be as comfy as you like calling a cat a dog, but you can't pretend to be offended when other people hear it meow and say, "Nice kitty." A tradition is a tradition and a fad is a fad, and the latter doesn't come with an established set of rules and expectations like the former. If you expect the people you're bringing along on a social media/reality TV trend to lie to your face, you need to spell that out to them before they decide whether or not to be involved.
you should watch say yes to the dress with tan france. they have more versatile dresses and represent so many cultures, not just white culture. that would be interesting
and they have lesbians and gays, drag queens just more
Wow who would think, white culture in white countries. This is rocket science for you people nowadays isn’t it?
Per the first one, I got married on December 26th. The church was already decorated so I didn’t have to do anything additional.
We did take out the Christmas tree and Nativity scene on the alter platform.
I did lean into Holiday floral and greenery for bouquet, corsages, etc.
It was not my plan for a Christmas wedding, but my husband got deployment orders so we just went for it.
This was 36 years ago.
I wouldn't allow my mother or any of those other people to go with me to buy a dress unless they were made to wear duct tape over their mouths. I've watched a few of these and the mom always, always, wants a "princess" dress. The producers need to come up with a new script.
I said the same thing about the "princess" thing. It's always a giant ball gown.
A simple/plain dress that's made well and made with good material looks so much better than an elaborate one of lower quality.
First you’re adorable. I haven’t read the other comments and I’m sure someone has probably told you this but I’m the south “raising cane” means basically raising Hell. I’m a Southerner and I heard my grandparents say that a lot. I love the bridal tv shows! When the lady wanted to spend only £500 on a dress you said something about the cost of having it altered. My daughter was married 6 years ago and she found the dress of her dreams for $800. Well she lost 40 pounds before the wedding and it cost $1200 to have it altered! I can only imagine what the prices are now… please keep making your videos especially the bridal show ones. I love them!
It's not "cane;" it's "Cain," from the Bible.
@@ttintagel Thank you. I was debating this correction but you did it for me. waist≠waste, paid≠payed cane≠cain
I have noticed devices tend to correct words improperly at times. My phone turns versus into verses every time even though it is wrong. Adding the correction will help people understand our devices aren’t always correct. My son’s devices have him stuck on thinking paid is payed.
If my Nana offered to buy me a dress I would stay within budget! Been with my fiancé since 2010, we've been talking about secretly eloping this month because saving up for a big family wedding is not in the cards right now. I think these brides are very entitled when someone offered to buy them a dress, and they try to guilt them into going over budget!
I think the one where the older lady only wanted to pay 500 it was a split payment situation where the bride would pay the rest of the cost of the dress over 500.
@@awolters5827Are you talking about the girl's grandma?
@@briannam916 Yeah, I was just confused about whether she was the mom or the grandma.
@awolters5827 Ohh, well it sounds like she raised her, I thought she was paying the whole thing? They made the joke about her keeping money under a mattress, and that girl was pretty young, didn't sound like she was saving up, if she was even working.
@@briannam916 I think we might be talking about 2 different brides.
edit:
I think there are 2 brides in the video where a relative wanted to only spend 500, and the one I was thinking of came first in the video.
did those people really expect an old grandmother in the USA - someone who probably doesn't have much money - to spend thousands on just a dress for her grandchild? absolutely disgusting. if the bride wants this dress, then pay it for it yourself, if you're not willing then don't make an old woman fork out her money for your delusions of elegance.
Correction: GREAT grandchild. Also, she's basically at the peak of her youth, go get a job. At least a summer job and use everything you earned to buy the dress you want. Also, 2k or more for ONE dress? I don't live there, but isn't 2k like a whole month's salary for a regular well paying job?
@@aylenvillarreal5439 2k is basically the price of most gowns, and that is across most currencies. In my country usually prices start at around 800€ and go up from there. I've talked to a seamstress and she told me that custom made gowns will be about the same price. Wedding dresses are expensive because of the kind of materials used, aswell as the fact they're not usually produced in bulk, but by order. I do agree that it's unreasonable from the bride to be expecting other people to fork out for her dress, she should take whatever the grandma is able to give her and pay the difference out of her own pocket.
i mean if shes offering to pay she probably has the money
@@aylenvillarreal5439 That she and her daughter (the girl's grandmother) raised. It's not unheard of for a bride's family to buy their dress. You don't know if the bride is paying for the rest of her wedding. You don't know if they have been putting money up to buy her a wedding dress.
Chances are these two women raising their grand and great grand daugther have looked forward to seeing her on her wedding day.
@@trevordonaldson7634 Ummm... I'm sure they said very clearly that the grandma ans great grandma are paying her side of the wedding. I still think it is A LOT, for anyone for that matter, to spend a whole month's salary or more on ONE dress. Let alone, ask someone else to do it for you. As much as I'm sure these two sweet women are looking forward to the wedding, I still think that it was a lot to ask. But oh well, I'm from Argentina, we definetely live in different realities. I some times just cannot understand people from the US
These SYTTD videos are by far my favorite Luke videos!!!
I feel when you have a budget and you are like that is the highest i feel comfortable going. DONT then pick out a dress that is $1000 or more over . That is what i like about the say yes to the dress from the UK they listen where the ones from the USA are like we are blowing that budget out the water. You really only wear that dress 1 time and unless you have a daughter you can hand that gown off too it goes to wast .
as someone who's never had that much money i can't even fathom how they're ok with requesting such a huge amount of money for a dress they're only gonna wear once like... if u want the 2k dress then pay for it? dont complain that ur mom or old granny is too cheap? 500 is alr pretty expensive ngl
exactly! ex-fuckin-actly! if you want to spend so much on an expensive dress, then simply buy it yourself! if not, then don't you dare to ask nice old ladies - probably nice old ladies without much savings (it's the USA) - to pay for you. this is absolutely shameless.
there's also the matter of having unrealistic expectations when you are walking into a designer boutique (specifically one like Kleinfelds). If this granny truly thought she could walk out of there for less than $1k+, she's severely out of touch at best and delulu at worst.
(Tho I am pretty sure most of the show was manufactured/scripted. Some of the financial drama might be partially true, but once it was filmed they would give the dress away BTS, both as charity in exchange for the family allowing filming, and as a tax write-off.)
@@BlackCatBritt I mean... Idk about all of that, though I think you are right in all aspects regarding the show itself. I just really don't know about the topic enough. What I don't agree with is calling the granny delulu. If you are a retired woman, I don't understand how it is any of your bussiness to keep up with boutique's prices and market. The last time she had to probably worry about buying a really expensive dress for herself or her daughter is probably over 25 years ago at the least, but I would dare to say over 35 to 40 years or even more. We called her granny, but she is actually the great granny of this episode's bride.
What about renting a really fabulous dress?
Some people have generous parents with an abundance of money.
Please do another Indian say yes to the dress. I absolutely loved the last one! ❤
SAME! 💙💙💙
that sounds interesting. Do they have the traditional colorful wedding dresses?
@@Mik6ne Yeah we do and we also have many pre-wedding festivities so there are many outfits as well 😍
i can tell Luke has grown and i haven't when he didn't bat one eyelash at 20:27 when the bride said she's 22 years old.
I love Luke’s reactions. Kind sweet and giving and definitely always there there for the bride.
I got my dress for $250 dollars online and it was a perfect fit! I loved my dress and we spent more money on my husband's suit.
first girl’s the third dress is giving ✨Kate Middleton✨ *i love it*
Same
Please do another episode of say yes to the dress India ❤
I get that some clothes are ridiculously priced, but do not any of these people consider the cost of materials and work hours that it takes to make an intricate dress? Asking for cheap, well fitted, good quality clothing is like a slap in the face of seamstress
IKR? You get what you pay for.
They are used to not caring how slaves in other countries get paid as long as they get the low price they want.
I'm from Northern Ireland, part of the UK... My wedding dress was only £850!
It's a strapless ball gown (with many netting underskirts etc)of good heavyweight Ivory Mikado, with clear & wine red embroidery & beading across the bust, into a gathered/ruched waist to 1 side & down edge of sort of a false 'wrap-around' piece of material that went from the ruching down to the hemline. There was also the same embroidery & beading down each side of the lacing on the corset back...
It also had a little handbag & a wrap/shawl included! Both were made from the same material as the dress, (double thickness on the wrap & colour matched lining material on the inside of the bag), with the same embroidery & beading along the edges of each end of the wrap & around the top edge of the bag!
Not sure if my description is doing the dress justice or not, but it was so beautiful & not anything like I thought I would want, (was quite princess-y & girly (completely not me)... I was thinking of something a bit more plain, relaxed, bo-ho, sort of thing, as I am a 'biker' & not really a girly girl at all! Also my hubby & a lot of our friends are all bikers too & the wedding was 'biker' themed with motorbike balloons in each of the table centres, along with motorbike makes as names for each table at reception & a bride, groom & motorbike cake topper!
As our wedding was at the end of November (in N. Ireland), it kept me toasty warm, well most of me, though the wrap definitely kept cold off my shoulders & arms! & The wee handbag was such a brilliant idea,! It was perfect for my needs, at the reception & evening party! It meant I could carry things myself that I might need handy! It was big enough so I could carry my phone, purse, small emergency sewing kit, lipstick & touch-up makeup as well as a few other wee things!
Got my wedding dress off ebay. The same designer that made Princess Catherines, but a few years before that wedding so only paid 175 for a silk Jenny Packham gown. Sold it for more than that after the wedding ;)
Your expressions in this video are the cutest they,ve ever been.
The shade thrown at Mamie at the end of the video. It's even more funny when you think of how much more common it is for old folks in the USA to hide money under their mattress, compared to the rest of the world. 😂
I'm pretty sure it's cultural trauma of 'runs on the bank' during the Great Depression, when some banks ran out of physical cash and if you hadn't withdrawn already, that money was lost and you were fucked combined with the _lack_ of the US getting shelled during WW2, so those storing money at home never saw it (literally) go up in flames.
It'll probably stop soon: not many people left that remember being children in the 1930s/40s
The mom who was obsessed with spending £500 wouldn't bother me so much if she had just said, "I'm contributing x amount." But noooo, she had to try to bully her daughter and the consultant into sticking with an unrealistic budget. It's ignorant. Research dress prices before you go shopping.
Exactly.
Yes the Mother in that episode was crude and controlling. The way she said "Cheap" every time. Gross really! You could tell the daughter has been worn down and controlled all her life. She had the most stooped and droopy posture. I hope she can stand proud at her wedding and do the dress justice. The inlaws were polite but I could tell they were shocked at the Mother's demeanor and behavior. No just no.
I always have a laugh when they say a low-cut, strapless dress "looks like a princess," when the truth is that most royal brides wear very modest dresses with long sleeves.
I had my dress made for me by someone who was a seamstress on LotR; she also did a lot of custom gowns for celebrities for red carpet events in Australia.
We stumbled upon her by chance when looking for fabric for my sisters wedding originally. Her prices were amazing considering her skill and portfolio. She was in her early 50s and had decided to step back from the fast-paced work style and decided to do wedding dresses (as well bridesmaids, flower girls, mother of the bride etc) as well as either making or tailoring clothes to fit the person wearing the item perfectly.
My wedding dress cost around $650 USD which is insanely cheap! She even came to my parents house the morning of my wedding to help dress me and the wedding party. When she saw what hairstyle I was having she grabbed some extra crystals she’d bought with her and glued them to bobby pins for the hair stylist to use in my hair.
In the end she made all the dresses for five weddings in my family (I’m one of six and the youngest is only 20), so she’s become a family friend and gets invited to the weddings now too!
“That’s a courtesy bell.” I died. 😂
Brides should buy their own dresses, eliminates any pressure. I would only take my Mother to the appointment no one else.
Thrilled you got your theme/intro music back!!
The thing is, with looks and a figure like Jessie's, she would look beautiful in any dress off the rack. She could wear a $500 dress and look better than a lot of brides who spend thousands.
I’m so happy right now! Not even started watching yet! Just bliss, so in the mood for this! ❤
The say yes to the dress videos are so nice! Would love to see some more of the indian ones as well that last one was so good!!
I love watching you react to these shows. Your description of Phyllis is everything. ☠️💙☠️💙 Luke, you are also a legend.
It's the UK, the tax is already added to the price tag. 15:58
I hate the emotional manipulation they pulled on the last old lady like they went waaaaay over budget like not just twice but that that dress is five times what she was expecting to pay + an extra hundred... That's just insane to do to an old lady... specially one that raised you like WTF. I know the bride is young and seems kind of detached from how much money is actually worth but like that's you grandma are you seriously willing to swindle your own grandma for a single use dress? Like even if you resell it at half the price it still wouldn't cover the difference...
Ikr I felt so bad for her Mami :(
Tell me you live in the USA without telling me you live in the USA: "... after taxes". Goods in the UK have sales taxes included on the price, regardless of them being a sample size or on sale. 🙂
I thought that was so cute, too. Oh honey, there is no tax on top. 😅
DUUUUUUde I loved the into the camera off and on and then saying “Randy is saying, check ya’selves” 🤣😂😅
Omg I love the crying bride, what a sweetheart 💗💗💗
hearing the intro music again made today worthwhile. love you!!
That mom was so real for speaking to her daughter❤ the mother might not love the dress but she also knew that it's not about her❤
Great video! I hope there's video of the big Kleinfeld sale episodes, those would be fun to react to.
Feeling a little blue this AM - this was a great mood bost, especially mammie!
#3 is stunning on her ,with her hair in a heavenly updo she would be an old school movie diva !
Remember these dresses are NOT in US dollars so if they are 1800 it is actually like a 2500 dollar dress in the US and that was several years ago. Not cheap.
I am loving your winter sweater rotation in your videos. The APRES ski one has been my favorite, but this one might be second fave. Also, marriage is a dead institution, and I feel so sorry for all the girls wasting money on a stupid white dress.
My sister went wedding dress shopping yesterday it’s her second anyways the second to last store we went into she settled on the last two she couldn’t figure out which one she liked so we’re going back tomorrow to decide I like the laced spaghetti strap with floral better then the low cut it was covered it was laced with belt it had strappy sleeves which looked better tucked In it was similar to the other one she tried on 2:30 she’s getting married in September so it would be closer to fall but since the cold got here early we don’t know if it’s going to be hot or cold so she’s thinking about sleeves if it’s cold or wear a sweater it would be like a fall aesthetic
Idk i actually really liked the cheaper priced dress that mami picked out at the end of the episode. The one with all the flowers on it? I thought it was beautiful and very bridal. Especially compared to the style of dress she seemed to prefer, she probably would’ve been better off just buying herself a white prom dress. That seemed to be the style she went for imo and while not cheap by any means still have more budget friendly options
Thank you for the laugh. I needed that. Your the Bestest!
Confidence up or it’s not my problem is the quote of the day
Dude for the British show, it GRINDS MY GEARS, she said from 800-1000 in what world does that translate to OVER HER ENTIRE BUDGET IN ONE DRESS
It’s CRAZY that $1,999 is considered cheap.
I think it's more that they discounded it over $1000
I don't understand why these brides don't pay for their own dresses, especially, if they don't want the opinions of the women that are actually going to pay!?
i cannot understand how they would decide to marry if they cant even afford to buy their own dress.. i'd rather pay for my own etsy/asos wedding dress than get $2000 dresses paid by my mom
The only one who didn't pay for her dress at all was the last one. The first one was buying it herself. The second one took her mom's £500 and put her own £700 on top of it.
@@riellereally Well, say you find someone you want to marry. You and your partner decide to just go to the courthouse because it's cheap. Then your mother starts screaming about how if you don't have a proper wedding for the family, youll break her heart. Whats the obvious response to that? Isn't it "If you want the wedding, you can pay for it."
It's not their wedding.......any contribution towards the dress should be considered as a gift
exactly! pay for it yourself and get the exact dress you want, but if not then don't throw shades at those who actually pay. and not everyone can simply throw out 2000£ on a dress only worn once, many people struggle financially.
What a fun video! Would love to see you do the biggest skirt wedding dresses.
My absolute perfect combo! Luke and SYTTD! I'm in heaven 🙌
"She should be a cohost here on haute le mode" 😂😂😂 make it happen!!!
"bling bling, ding ding, ring ring" is my new motto.
I was choosing my dress all alone. My family was on a different continent. But when I sent my mum pictures of my fav dress. She did not said "You look good" or "you look bad" she said "You look so happy in it!". The mother of the bride in this video has her own agenda and it makes me sad for the bride. It's her day FFS!!!
Sample racks are amazing! I found a $3k dress for $1400.
I feel like they bullied an elderly woman. Maybe she is sleeping on a mattress stuffed with money but it is much more likely that she is on a small fixed income. The $2,600 may be several months worth of food and bills for her. (P.S. I know she had a ridiculously unrealistic idea of what wedding dresses cost.)
Omg, you are adorable in these reaction videos 🤍
I couldn’t feel good in a dress if I felt I was making someone financially strain to get it for me. Mamie wants to spend 500, that is still a more than generous contribution for someone who is retired. If you want to go over you should cover the difference. The whole thing came off as manipulative and selfish.
Got my dress from Facebook Marketplace. I did end up loving it and feeling amazing in it on my wedding day. The dress buying experience was a struggle though. I went on my own the first time I went into a dress shop and found the style that I wanted and a possible “Yes” dress. Then I went with my mom and MIL to another store where I found THE dress. I was full on crying and loved everything about it. My mom pointed out things that she didn’t like and I ultimately decided to wait on committing to it. In the meantime she found the dress I ended up wearing, it was after I said yes to it that she let me know my parents were “gifting” it to me. I did not know going in that they were intending on buying the dress. My husband and I had talked about a budget beforehand and reached a number we were happy about, so, I wish my parents would have told me and it would have taken some of the pressure off of looking at the price tag.
do one on older brides!!
Love this Luke❣️ Sweet and fun- a real mood- thanks so much for making me smile😁❤️
What's your favorite SYTTD consultant? I think mine is Christiane. Pay attention to her selling techniques the girl is a genius.
It's so heartbreaking to see a group rip a bride to shreds because they don't like a dress- like critique the dress! not the person in it!
I do kinda get the budget thing- like you're only going to wear it once, and pretty much whatever you wear people will be happy for you, idk, I'd jsut rather spend the cash on a lush holiday than buy a huge dress 😂
Also, I'm not certain for bridal stores but generally in the UK taxes are included in the price- unless you're buying from a trade place or something weird you expect the price tag to be what you pay
the tax comment screams american D
same here, the wedding itself is just one day so I wouldn't be willing to spend so much money on just a dress - and all the other expenses. have a nice, cozy wedding with the spouse of your dreams (because that's the only important part!) and then spend the rest of the money on more important stuff.
and it's especially grating if the brides don't pay for the dress themselves but are upset if other won't/can't pay more for them. I'd never ever be shameless enough to ask anyone for so much money for just a dress.
Most of the dresses are more expensive than my wedding in Jamaica with a 2 week holiday and a free upgrade to their nicest ocean view room.
I only paid about £60 for my Dress from Asos, it was long sleeve lace with black details.
That was 7 years ago.
@@rachelsmith3097omg yes, I'd choose an affordable dress then spend more money on a trip. No one's gonna remember the dress but you.
More of these please! This was awesome!
I’m so glad the brides were able to get the gowns they loved
All taxes are included in British prices. If the price shows 500, you will pay 500 at the checkout
I loved your wedding show and you love all the dresses
My mom sews and I’ve always said I want her to make mine. She’s always made me clothes and had to learn how to make clothes for herself because growing up that was her situation. She always instilled in me that well made clothes don’t necessarily need to be expensive. I to this day wear clothes she make for herself in the 70’s and 80’s and they hold up. Her own wedding dress was made for her by women in her community and it’s that tradition that I love. This is just me though ❤ I love watching your videos
I reckon the older family members who go with them (esp that grandma) are thinking about their own dresses, and aren't taking into account inflation and just how much a dress can cost nowadays. A little bit stuck in the past
The price tag mom hurt my heart with her “I’m looking for a dress as cheap as possible” comment. The emphasis on cheap made me think she doesn’t place much worth on her daughter.
Mammy is literally the female version of my dad 🤣, the way she talks and everything lol.
My wedding dress was a beautiful red gown that went for $200. You don't have to break the bank to look good!
I think taxes are included in UK prices. I also agree about £ being expensive; my country’s dollar gets only 50p! That grandma is ready to raise Cain by raising hell with her cane, lol. 😅
I gambled on a Ukrainian dressmaker for my wedding in 2016. Made to measure with slight pattern alterations for just under $1000 and it was BEAUTIFUL with the softest chiffon skirt!
That grandma is probably spending her life savings to buy a one-time wedding dress, as if raising her from child to adulthood wasn’t good enough?! Get a job or don’t get married til you can pay for it!
Hey Luke, not sure if youre gonna do this, but please make a video on this year's British Fashion Awards!
Had to subscribe because you knew what a gusset was.
I spent $600 on my dress from David’s Bridal 20+ yrs ago and it was stunning.
LOVE THESE REACTIONS!!!❤❤❤
I so enjoy when you do say yes to the dress!!!!
this one was so much fun. grandma at the end had me laughing out loud, such a queen 😂
So glad my mom and I know how to sew. Granted since we are both very tall, it’s not like we had a choice.
Hence, my wedding dress was one of a kind and cost less the $200. Oh, and it fit perfectly.
Gotta love the old person filter.
We have to get an inflation calculator for granny at the end. I wonder how much she paid for her wedding dress adjusted for inflation
Love your sweater. Is it cashmere? Brides have gotten discounts there before. The first dress is a basic A-line. Dress 3 would work with the full skirts Kleinfeld sells as separates. You wear the overskirt during the ceremony and take it off for the reception for dancing. I'm happy for Bride 2. Bride 3 looks lumpy dumpty. It does not fit. You have to remember that the price does not include the veil or other accessories. Bride 3 looks great in rouching. Mammy's thinking this marriage had better last forever.
Saying Grandma probably will "raise a little Cain" is not about a walking stick. It doesn't mean grandma is going to hit someone with her cane.
"Raising Cain" refers to Cain and Abel from the Bible.
It means that someone is losing their temper, or creating a disturbing or violent situation.
