Say Yes to the Dress

[agzg]

She gets mad at the clients if they don't like the dresses. HELLO LADY! THIS IS NOT YOUR WEDDING!

I've been watching this show since it started. I've posted about it a few times in the "Wedding Gowns" thread.

I don't get why Claudia is still working there myself.

Random sidenote:

I know I've posted about this before elsewhere, but what is it with girls wanting that one Pnina Tournai gown with the see-through top that looks like lingerie! Every episode it seems like there's someone trying it on or getting fitted for it. I don't get it.

I totally agree with you! I cannot believe how many brides try this on and think it is the perfect dress! It truly looks like lingerie attached to a skirt.

Clarification - is Claudia the salesgirl who can't make a sale and keeps getting called into the office about it?

I am so glad this thread was started. I love this show. I get a real kick out of the dynamic between the brides and whoever comes with them.

The one thing my daughters and I agree on after watching this show: do not bring a gaggle of bridesmaids with you when shopping for the dress. Also, always take a picture of the dress and of you in the dress on the day you order. Too many brides come back and think the dress is wrong, etc and get upset.

Yep.

I agree with the too many people thing. I think that's how alot of girls end up buying a dress and then hating it later. They get caught up in all their friends saying how great it looks.

Any of the weddings that I've been in, the bride went with only one or two people until she had decided on and ordered the dress. Both brides also took us in shifts if she needed us to try on our dresses.

One thing I was really glad for was my brother's wife took my mom and I to the Bridal store and had me try on my dress for her, and then she tried on her dress for my mom. We didn't know it then, but my mom had stage four bladder cancer at the time. She passed about three months before the wedding. But, during her illness she talked about how beautiful it was going to be all the time. I was really glad she got the chance to visualize the ceremony at the very least. It takes a special kind of woman to WANT to go to the Bridal store with her future mother-in-law.


Back to the show, here's another question I've been thinking of. Why are all these women bringing their fiance's to the store? Granted, I'd want to be sure he liked it, but whatever happened to the element of surprise?

I don't think I would do that, but I think some people are less traditional and are wanting to involve the fiance in every aspect of the planning, even the dress.

There was one bride in an episode who brought her fiance along to look at dresses (and looked at like 5 or 6 of them), but didn't tell him which one she chose. I thought that was neat because it got him involved, but still kept the element of surprise.

That's a good idea. It looks like the consultants get a little peeved about the fiance being there though!
