Bellalisa January 3, 2015 Share January 3, 2015 The Hawaii bride, getting married in Hawaii with no family coming- wow was her dress Waaaaay too small! At the fitting I thought she squeezed into it. Looks like she gained even more weight before the wedding. Her huge boobs were falling out, her back fat was rolling over the back. I don't know how she got that thing zipped. Cannot believe these rednecks got on TV twice. Someone at Say Yes wanted a TLC paid trip to Hawaii and talked someone into paying for that trip to film that tiny pathetic beach wedding!!

Bellalisa January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 Of course if you want a red dress you don't show up in a bridal store expecting to have a lot of choices. She tried on one, Laurie had only one other for her to try. She didn't like it upon looking at it so it was easy for her to walk out and make a big stink on her way out about her friends not being supportive. The truth is she was done because there weren't any more to try on. If you are going to go for red, you need to let the store know in advance or something. It's dopey to show up and expect there to be any inventory. Wheelchair girl was in love with trainer. He was kinda hot but his voice was strange.

doodlebug January 10, 2015 Share January 10, 2015 (edited) Anyone else watching last night and distracted by human Barbie doll Morgan and whatever it was she had done to her face? Only 33 years old and already with fully siliconized lips, cheek implants and so much Botox that nothing moved, even when she laughed. Considering her mom worked at the shop, the show did her a disservice when they showed all the pics of her as a kid which only proved that she has had more work done than some of the Kardashians. Makes me wonder what sort of self image issues she must've had to willingly alter her appearance so drastically. She looked like a cartoon character, not a real person. As for the 'unlimited budget' because she was marrying a country music star; so what? Personally, I've never been very impressed with any of the 'custom' creations we see on any of these shows. Her dress was nice enough, surely she could've found one for a quarter the cost that would've been just as nice. It makes me think she's got more money than sense. I understand why the shop owners are excited to see these suckers who are willing to shell out a small fortune for a dress they'll wear just once, but to me, they are fools. I am no country music aficionado, but has anyone ever heard if the guy she was marrying? Who exactly are the 'millions' of people she claimed would be seeing pictures of her wedding dress and judging? Methinks some of the Botox leached into her brain. Well, that and that she should perhaps spend some money on counseling to try to figure out why she has self esteem issues that she's trying to fix with cosmetic surgery and ridiculously expensive dresses.

If you are stick-thin, then maybe, but anyone built like a woman ends up emphasizing their hips in a way that, to my eye, is just not flattering.

I'm watching the episode with the bride who is eloping to Colorado and who's fiancee is "opinionated" (which is often a euphemism for controlling), but she is not the first bride who has acted this way. The young woman who was marrying someone with the last name Chicken or Turkey or some other foul comes to mind. Wanting your groom to think you are beautiful is fine; picking what the groom wants so you don't have to listen to him complain or worse, get bullied over making a choice without him, is not.

Because the bridal fashion industry TELLS them that this is "fashion forward" and "classic" and only features that horrendous silhouette in their myriad magazines and online sites. And since most brides these days are immature, easily led, and swayed by media they go along with it. Thus the bridal fashion houses only carry that horrible crap. When those brides look back at the pictures in 10 years (if they make it that far, few will) they will laugh at how truly bad they looked. Just like brides in the 70's laugh at their enormous puffy sleeves. If you want a classic look, remember Princess Grace and Kate Middleton and Vera Wang and some of the dresses designed as far back as the 40's that still look wonderful today. But today's brides don't want to look different, they are led like sheep by advertising to purchase the flavor of the year even when it makes most of them look like sausages with exploding feet. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9086-say-yes-to-the-dress-atlanta-general-discussion/page/3/#findComment-732949

Ketzel January 18, 2015 Share January 18, 2015 (edited) The father who wanted his daughter to wear a "banging" dress had to be one of the worse over-actors yet to appear on SYTTD-A. I hope he didn't give himself a permanent strain from the way he was bugging his eyes out and rolling them around. The whole set-up was absurd. He's the fashionista who wants her in a glamorous glittery gown with a train, she just wants to wear a simple, classic dress with no decoration and no train. So she comes out in a plain white dress that could not have been less flattering to her body if it had been designed by her worst enemy. It flattened her breasts, emphasized the rolls at her waist and her bumpy thighs and basically made her look like an over-stuffed bolster from the neck down. But she was sure that it was The One. And rather than object on the perfectly reasonable grounds that the dress shape didn't do her justice, her father pitched a fit over how it didn't have bling and it didn't have a wow factor. Daughter goes back to the dressing room and Lori puts her in a fully beaded gown with a long train. Although it's only marginally more flattering than the first gown, and appears to be everything daughter declared she didn't want in her wedding gown, daughter realizes that this dress is actually The One. So, Dad gets his way, daughter loves the dress, happy ending? No because father needs more screen time, so he rejects this dress, too, for absolutely no reason than "not this one, nope." Cue the "jacking up" at the end of which father weeps and agrees to the dress. At least he squeezed out a few extra minutes of TV time along with those fake tears.

After last night, I can see this is still true. All I'll say about Rocky Mountain fiance is that I bet he is a controller of infinite degree. And that the bride broke her mother's heart. Hope the controller-possibly-abuser is worth it. The deacon daddy was acting the fool. In fact his bug eyes called to mind some old stereotypes that many modern folks avoid. I wish I could wave Lori's magic wand and forever remove the words "princess" and "queen" from bridal vocabularies. This is America, dammit. We don't have royalty, and all the proclamations by self-absorbed infantile spoiled brides don't change that. (And while we are at it, let's strike "fiance" for anyone who lives together for extended periods of time with no concrete plans to marry in the near future.) I hate the emphasis on the pornographic display of clown boobs and behinds.

I'm making a bold prediction as well: That marriage won't last. The mother of the bride appeared genuinely crushed that she wasn't going to be at her daughter's wedding, and I'm guessing the daughter did not arrive at the decision to elope on her own. Totally with you on this. I cannot imagine the nightmare that bride is signing up for. Not only is her fiancee telling her how to dress... he's sent his mother to enforce it? I felt so sad for her mother. I hope she is as nice as she seems, doesn't let her daughter continue to push her away, and then she can be there when this marriage falls apart. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9086-say-yes-to-the-dress-atlanta-general-discussion/page/3/#findComment-742852
rur January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 Although the two-brides/one dress episode last night was a little contrived, I was impressed with the dress they both liked. It was designed in a way that would make just about whoever wore it look good. Very impressive work by the designer. I did find myself wondering, though, if it only came in that one shade of white, since so many designs we have seen offer a variety of whitish hues. It could have been a good compromise … if they had truly come to buy a dress that day. Otherwise, while I can understand the "second" bride's desire to have a dress that wasn't identical to her friends, it seems like since the weddings were in two different cities, several months apart, with probably only a fraction of the guests attending both weddings, it probably wouldn't have been that big of a deal. I did note, though, that in the other episode last night, the magical veil once again convinced all dissenting family members that The Dress had been found. It's becoming a little too cliche' for me. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9086-say-yes-to-the-dress-atlanta-general-discussion/page/3/#findComment-755276
zxy556575 January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 I thought the BFFs should have given themselves a half price sale and bought one dress for both of them. In other news, Chas-ity? Even if that was a deliberate misspelling, nobody will believe it. I don't believe it. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9086-say-yes-to-the-dress-atlanta-general-discussion/page/3/#findComment-755339
Kohola3 January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 Same old, same old. Mom doesn't like dress, spoiled brat daughter thinks it's no big deal to blow the budget, pseudo-psychologist divines the "real reason", one-note Monty throws a wad of material on her head and all is well. Same dresses, same stories. Although, for a change, the dress that both brides wanted was really beautiful. I agree with you, lordonia, just buy it and share it. They looked to be the same size and height. Think of what you can buy with that extra money on a dress you'll only wear for a few hours. And how many times has anyone who has been married for more than a few years pull out the old wedding album and wax nostalgic? Mostly it's their kids who do it to laugh at the hilarious old fashioned wedding dress.

TVFAN January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 I thought the dress the BFF brides both wanted was absolutely stunning. Does anyone recall any discussion of the designer? I thought they should both get it. As someone noted above, the guest lists for the weddings would not be identical, and with different veils, accessories, etc., even the guests who went to both probably would not notice they were the same.

laredhead January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 I agree that sharing the dress might have been the best option. I also liked the one with the very sparkly top. What's going to happen if they shop separately and still choose the same dress? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9086-say-yes-to-the-dress-atlanta-general-discussion/page/3/#findComment-755602
Bella January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 I'll swear, some of these relatives make a case for moving to the opposite side of the country. "It's in a barn, it's in a barn!" Right, lady. That's a tragedy. Sort of negates the importance of your daughter being happy, the event reflecting her and her future husband's personalities, etc., etc. Sheesh! 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9086-say-yes-to-the-dress-atlanta-general-discussion/page/3/#findComment-755658
rur January 25, 2015 Share January 25, 2015 I thought the dress the BFF brides both wanted was absolutely stunning. Does anyone recall any discussion of the designer? I liked the dress so much, I looked it up. The dress is from Allure Style 0126433, priced at $3,400. It's too pricey for me, but it's still considerably less than a Pnina, which it definitely out-classes. Right now, it's the top photo on the TLC SYYTD page: http://www.tlc.com/tv-shows/say-yes-to-the-dress-atlanta/photos/favorite-wedding-dresses-season-8-photos.htm 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9086-say-yes-to-the-dress-atlanta-general-discussion/page/3/#findComment-756566

I can kind of understand it: There was no mention of the men were wearing. We've seen films of a number of weddings where the women were wearing very expensive gowns and the men weren't dressed comparatively. I remember one outdoor wedding where the men were wearing yellow shirts and brown suspenders, a "destination" wedding where the groom was wearing a white shirt and khakis, and another outdoor wedding with the groomsmen clad in what I'd call one step away from work jeans. If the mother knows that the men are going to be dressed considerably less formally than the bride, I can understand why she'd balk at a $5000 dress. Your mileage may vary.

My only problem with it is the exaggerated sweetheart neckline, which I thought leaned ever so slightly towards clownish. I can't imagine it looking good on a small-breasted woman. But it does seem like a nice option for women who have their hearts seat on a ballgown/pri***** silhouette because the bodice gradually tapers down over the hips instead of ending abruptly at the waist and ballooning out from there. Even the thinnest brides have trouble pulling that off. Speaking of that, you know that danged Lazaro dress with the crystal flower belt and tulle skirt in blush? I think we finally got rid of it in his line, but I've noticed now that there's at least one knockoff by another designer. I swear, that dress did not look good on a single person who tried it on, yet they all bought it.

I agree. Dragging a $5000 satin gown through the straw and over the mud is just stupid. You'd never be able to clean that and you're blowing that kind of money on something you'll wear for a few hours. It just looks incongruous to have the bride in an uber-fancy expensive dress and the groom in denim. And again with the "I want it because I want it and I should have it because I want it no matter how much it costs" selfish attitude. If it cost more than the budget then COUGH UP THE EXTRA YOU SELFISH LITTLE TWIT!
