Mom is SUPER young. She's 39. She had her daughter at 18, which suggests she had a shotgun wedding. I have a feeling Mom missed out on all of the excitemnt of planning a wedding for herself. Now she's being hit in the face with it. At the same time, her daughter is getting married which means she's 39 and OLD. That has to hit HARD. That's WAY worse than a 40th birthday (which is also looming). I can understand why mom is an emotional trainwreck, and regressing to teenage behavior. This is where she was at age 17.
@@loosilu Nothing justifies speaking to others that way. My mom was in a similar situation (married at 17) and is prone to bodyshaming and snide comments. I have had to set very clear boundaries with her about what is and is not appropriate to say to people (especially during the planning of my wedding).
It’s the way my friends all had a similar mom and would check her that gets me. I went to a friends bridal fitting 100% to clock her moms bs. I wasn’t in the wedding party. 100% her mom socialized in circles with a relative of mine so she behaved😂😂
so I'm sure I've got a bias, but I have Never seen a healthy parent/kid relationship when "they're more a friend than a parent". especially when the kids are that young- it just reeks of "no, you can't have boundries, I do too get access to every facet of your life" the 3 here seemed to add a good splash of "what, I'm just being honest, don't be so sensitive" for extra blech
I'm honestly glad I'm not the daughter to any of these moms otherwise some arguments might've ensued for the girlies at home and the filming crew to witness
I had an visceral reaction at 4:15 when the mom body shamed the girls like that. The mom reminds me of my grandmother with the way she casually throws unnecessary insults in conversation. That mom is lucky the bridesmaids have class and didn't fire back, they'd have plenty of ammo.
That's a mom who is completely freaking out at realizing she's old. SHe's only 39 and her daughter is getting married, and all these cute young things are parading in cute dresses.
Reminds me of my family, often making comments how my second sister has the “perfect” body while often body shaming mine body and my oldest sister. Insults toward weight and body was always thrown in too. Doesn’t help people at school made me self conscious about it too. Most funny part is now my family won’t shut up whenever they see me in a bathing suit or something now- commenting how now I have the “perfect” body apparently. 🙄
I remember the full vid for the first bride: the mother just never frikking grew up. She thinks she's being youthful while being blind to how crass she comes off.
Also, having a child at 18 often means you have a truncated development. From my experience, I see that it can be difficult to complete your emotional development when you have a kid that early.
I had a good friend get married who was 30 and the groom was 40. He was the last of his friends to get married. He stood up in 19 weddings and he wanted to have all 19 guys as groomsmen. 19! So she had 19 bridesmaids. It was an evening wedding in a cathedral with a reception at a very nice venue. All bridesmaids wore black cocktail dresses of their choosing. She wanted them to be able to wear their dresses for other parties. Plus, can you imagine getting 19 matching dresses? It was gorgeous!
That's a really lovely idea, and I'd definitely just get a black dress. But as someone who never wears black, I'd never wear that again. Black looks bad on me. Very sweet of the bride to try to make a choice the bridesmaids can still use afterwards though.
I love the mismatched dress look - as long as the dresses are cohesive, it looks great and everyone gets to wear something that they actually like and might actually re-wear.
For my wedding I was open for the dresses to be the same color different style (all floor length though) for the bridesmaids. I wanted the all to look nice. Cool part was I found a dress that actually looked great on all of them. And it didn’t break the bank. 😄😊 They all looked lovely and that made me happy. I wanted them to look pretty too.
For my sister’s wedding her bridesmaids had the same color different floor length style. And as her maid of honor I wore a different complementary color. It looked so good in the photos, very cohesive and everyone looked pretty.
As someone from outside the US, the idea of bridesmaids all wearing a similar dress seems really unnecessary and honestly tacky. Why can't they just wear what they want to the wedding?
@@meganjaime7728 My sister just had two bridesmaids: her sister-in-law and me. She wanted us in green, but in what suited us. L. is tall, blonde, blue eyed, and has a lovely hourglass figure. I'm just under five feet tall, dark haired, brown eyed, and kind of rectangle shaped. L got a foam green mermaid gown, and I took a jade green, form fitting bodice and straight skirt one. It worked out nicely for all of us.
Yep, I did the same at my wedding because my handful of bridesmaids were all so different I thought it's be best to let THEM select the style they felt most comfortable with, which would also make it more likely they'd be able to wear the dress again. EDIT (forgot to add that they DID NOT have full run of the store, we agreed on their max budget/price in advance & that narrowed down the options they were presented with & plus there were only 3. Tho I was in 1 w/6 but it was just slight variations on 3 styles.) Each one of them looked soooo good & also loved their dress. But I also was a bridesmaid who just showed up, shut up & got fitted for the dress, & never wore it again; different people different weddings, it's your day girl, & if your my friend, relative, or soon to be in-law, the most I'll say is "if your happy, I'm happy" & I just won't ever tell you that I BURNED that dress cuz NOBODY should be subject to that hideous monstrosity EVER AGAIN! LOL
@@plinko84 Colour was nice, it was "wine", but the material was Awful! This rough scratchy semi sheer synthetic draped all over in "Greek style", over one shoulder that INSANELY difficult to get fitted properly. Multiple girls had dress issues day of...the maid of honour's dress burst open last minute n had to be pinned back together literally right before we all went down the isle. All the hanging fabric made it a hazard n half of the dresses were ruined by the end. I'd flown back for it n I didn't actually burn it, but I DID have fun cutting it to piece with my friend who does costume/wardrobe on Broadway who obviously felt the same as I did....oh n we would've died from toxic fumes if we'd BURNED cuz it was such a cheap synthetic.
The mom in the first fat shaming these women is disgusting. I know they're encouraged to be dramatic for entertainment purposes, but nothing about that was entertaining. I would be embarrassed if that was my mom. I would call her out immediately and threaten to have her kicked out
You know what I love about you? When it comes to professional fashion designers, you do not hesitate to tear a bitch up because you hold them to the high standards that they claim to be selling... but when it comes to these normal, everyday women choosing wedding garb, you are so kind and supportive. A lot of fashion influencers cannot make that distinction; they think that holding everyone to THE HIGHEST of standards is what makes them a fashion expert. You're one of the few that recognizes the difference between high fashion and everyday needs, and you adjust your criticisms accordingly. You're just a very classy person, and I love you for it ❤
I feel bad for the bridesmaids because the bride doesn't have control about what her mom says, but I'd also be upset if I'm getting bodyshamed and my friend is not saying anything
In Nigeria the second bride is how we handle bridesmaids dresses (sort of). The bride gives her bridal party fabric or a colour that is of the pattern and texture that she likes and the brides give them to tailors to make whatever design they want for the wedding. Groom does a similar thing, usually the bride & groom wear specific colours that are different to each other.
I love that way of doing things - not everyone looks the same or feels as comfortable in one cut/neckline, so it feels natural to give the bridesmaids/groomsmen one axis to be cohesive on and let them find something that they can be comfortable and confident in.
That sounds really cool. Having met few people from Nigeria it seems everyone there is either a seamstress/tailor or has someone close who's a talented tailor because they always dressed in impeccably fitting, stylish clothes that looked irrationally expensive. Sharp colourful suits, custom dresses, not to mention all the incredible Nigerian seamstress on YT. I absolutely live for Nigerian formal gowns.
I find its much harder to judge the bridesmaid dresses because most of the time they're getting them ordered in for the proper color. We had a similar idea to the last group for my brother's wedding, and while it looked really weird seeing 6 women with 6 different colored dresses in store, getting them all together in one color and seeing all of us together made everything look SO MUCH BETTER.
i am indian and at indian weddings EVERYONE (including babies) dresses their best and it still doesn't take attention away from the bride because she's the bride, everyone knows that, they are at her celebration. Here it's almost considered rude if you don't put in your best effort to dress like you didn't care. so if it's a colleague's wedding i'd wear something less showy (cuz i'm not that close with her) but if it's my sister's wedding then i am all in!
I don't get it either. I went to a summer wedding and I think I accidentally offended one of the bridesmaids because I wore white sandal dress shoes with a blue dress. I didn't wear a white dress(which American brides wear), so who cares what color shoes I have? I didn't know that was a thing.
The first mom seems to use tears for sympathy. Like I can’t believe her actually crying like that after talking about her daughter’s friends like that.
The best way to do different bridesmaid dresses is give 2 or more specifics. For my wedding it was a specific color and material. For my sister in laws wedding is was a color scheme and no beading or other crazy embellishments with some type of flowy fabric. It turned out super pretty both times. Everyone picked there favorites and it all worked out. Just saying Yolo isn't gonna help lol
Color and material are good . . .maybe length as well. I think thats enough to match and no one cares about necklines. Everyone has different bodies, too. They aren't trying to make those look the same.
I had all of my bridesmaids in different dresses, but I only had five of them. I chose a gradient of colors (navy, dark purple, mid purple, light, lightest) and have them stand in that order. One bridesmaid got to reuse a BM dress, and we found deals on just about all the others! I can't imagine doing a free-for-all like the first bride tried, though.
especially for dresses bought form a boutique! 😵💫 i can’t imagine that’s going to be cheap. I’d understand if the bridesmaids could buy their own dress from wherever with some direction on what to get (color and dress length), so at least id would be in their own style or budget. What these brides are doing is not a smart way to do it.
My sister did a country/outdoor wedding and we all had different bridesmaid dresses, but her rule was navy blue, above the knee, shorter sleeves. It worked really well, but it was because there were rules that brought them all together, especially with our brown cowgirl boots lol. Believe it or not, it was all really cute, and her style through and through.
You think people are insane for getting married at 21 and then you turn 21 and suddenly everyone around you is engaged. I’ve had whiplash for like a year
my response to weddings at 21 is eternally "who has wedding money?!" unless it's a pregnancy situation and the family is religious I cannot fathom having that cash available at such a young age. My parents would think me insane to marry at 21 and never consent to it ergo, no cash to spend at the wedding junction.
I was married at 21. When we went to the city hall to get the license, the clerk was somebody I knew. She told me later that the couple who came in behind us was someone whose older sister went to school with my 19-year-old brother and they were talking about me after I left, saying that I was so old they thought I was going to be an old maid.
Jeez people getting married at 21. I’m 22 and have never dated or even kissed anyone yet. I couldn’t even imagine being married last year or a few years from now. I have a friend who’s a year older, has a lot of dating experience, and is talking about getting married next year and it still blows me away but it’s not as shocking as so many of the people I know from high school straight up having families at this age. I’m still trying to develop as a person on my own, there’s so much of my life left to go, it’s just baffling to me that so many people feel ready for any of that this young (though most of the kids I know of have been unplanned, I thank my obsessive knowledge of almost types of contraception for not having to deal with that even though I haven’t had opportunity for a kid to come about anyway lol). My 77 year old landlady (divorced) got married at around 25 because her mother insisted she’d be “left on the shelf” and be an old maid, she always says if she could go back she wouldn’t have gotten married at all, let alone so young. My parents got together when my mom was 19 and married when she was 25 but that definitely didn’t end well for them.
I'm almost twice that and never married. I'd like to be, but why is everyone in a big rush? All the people who get married young end up divorced at my age anyway. Plus you get more experience and learn more about yourself and what you're looking for in a partner. That can change over time. Don't be concerned with what others do.
As a former bridal consultant, the bride who wanted all her girls to choose different styles was the most difficult. It wasn't choosing the dresses, it was ensuring the colors would work. Even if all the dresses were the same designer and same fabric, dye lots were never guaranteed. Many years ago, we had a line of bridesmaids separates. They could choose the color(s), fabrics, top/neckline/sleeve, and skirt length/fullness and so the colors would be guaranteed. Today, there are respectable and reliable websites that ensure dresses are the same colors , even if they are different styles. As for actually seeing the bride's vision, I had one lovely bride who wanted red and yellow dresses for her two bridesmaids. After confirming the colors, I brought out a dress in each color. The bride looked at her mom and said, "You're right. They look like ketchup and mustard bottles." 😆 She was wonderful, though!
The second bride was ahead of her time. The trend now is not only different dress styles, but also different colors. I’m planning my wedding currently and it’s funny how bridesmaids in all the same dresses already looks dated
Im the oldest of 4 sisters. When our youngest sister got married, the rest of us were her bridesmaids. It was a late spring wedding, and we were able to choose our own dresses, as long as they were long, black, and sleeveless. The three of us wore completely different styles, and our sister loved the way we looked. Also, the black dresses were fine for a spring wedding because the rest of her colour palette for the wedding was light.
I got told a style line (more of an entire brand focused on wedding stuff? not sure), fabric, color, and to go nuts from there. I think the pics look great, no one has That One Spot on their dress that shows where they're shaped different. I think some of us ended up having them altered after into more cock-tail length so we could wear them again? (mostly to other weddings, the ones Outside that friend group)
This was amazing! When I got married on Halloween 2021, I had the same style of bridesmaid dresses, but in different fall leaves colored. Like a dark wine red, a dark Forrest green, a burnt mustard, and a burnt orange. I let each of my girlies pick which color they wanted to wear. I also had all of the different body types and skin tones and hair colors. So I wanted them to still feel beautiful. It was a one shoulder, natural waist pleated chiffon, full length. They all seemed genuinely happy and comfortable and beautiful! I even borrowed and wore the orange one to a friend’s wedding just this June!
The back on that pink dress on the thumbnail is ADORABLE. Also, finally something innocent we can all get behind hating: ugly bridesmaids dresses. 😂 I will never understand why some need their friends in the most unflattering dress. Yellow makes you look older (makes your teeth and whites of the eyes look yellow, which happens with age). Just give your friends a color and maybe a material and let them choose what they think looks best. I saw a bride who had EVERYONE in white and the only difference was her bouquet. Every flower in it represented a bridesmaid, so they all had a different color, which came together in the most beautiful bouquet. I only saw a few photos, but the potential of getting the girls to match their flower and color scheme would be so fun. Then to tie into the decor and space looked interesting.
Some families/couples go into a ridiculous amount of debt to throw an epic party. Our wedding was very modest, but still beautiful. Even so, if I knew then what I know now, I wouldn’t have wasted money on a big, white dress. I would’ve instead bought a dressy dress that I would/could wear more than once.
"needing to really laugh, feel bad, question my life choices... all of the above". I cracked up and am so in agreement. Those last dresses - the brides way of sabotaging the "maids" so she does look stunning and they look - well fugly! Made my day, Luke. xoxo
it's funny to me the drama about the bridesmaids picking their own different dresses cause in my country that's mostly how we do it (although in this case I understand that it's harder giving the bride's specific vision)
Watching this argument about the different necklines while planning my wedding and going to all my girlfriends fittings is hilarious to me... I am like that one bride, I'll pick the material and color, my bridesmaids job is to find something they are comfortable in. Some girls have butts, some have boobs some have nothing at all... Plus they are buying the dress not me... Why should I put someone in something that doesn't fit their body type.. that one mother probably ordered smaller sizes for her brides maids because they weren't "thin enough"😂
I thought Lori was going to drop the “oh bless her heart” …. Which here in the south is not a very complementary free.😂 when a southern lady with class uses the bless her heart you know there is some tea and some rage behind that sweet Southern charm. And just a quick reminder to everybody that Luke does not need fashion, but fashion needs Luke. And all are gorgeous. Fabulous people and deserve a wonderful day.🩵🩷🖤
@@AragornElessar Some of yall aren't suited for marriage at all and that's ok. Just dont judge others' decisions so boldly like that. Not everyone has had your same experience and goals in life.
Really glad I chose to be a mother, not a fruther lol…I’m starting to think “my mom is my best friend” just means she’s horrible to her daughter & probably crashes girls night… whatever happened to “whatever idea you have is brilliant because it’s your wedding & I want you to be so happy!” ???
I had a vision of everyone wears a dress of their choosing in the same colour. The men were told black suit in any style with a white shirt. My husband and I provided them with matching ties that coordinated with the ladies burgundy dress colour. The ladies all got black velvet wraps ( winter wedding) We also had junior bridesmaids that wore green and burgundy floral prints and a flower girl in green velvet that matched her mother's dress ( my sister in law stood up with my husband and the groomsmen so she wore black velvet. Mother of the bride had a green satin dress in the same green as the flower girls but the same style as my maid of honor. It was beautiful. If you have different ages or body types letting them all pick an appropriate style for them makes everyone more comfortable.
Hi there, I’m at 40-year-old bride… kind of.. I’ve been with my other half for 18+ years… at my age. I know I will not have a typical wedding dress or experience.. sadly family deaths and parents deaths have put up pause on our wedding plans. Everyone calls us, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, which is fine but we do want to get married. I’m just not sure the attire what we should do at this point if you have any ideas that would be amazing. We probably won’t have any bridal party because of our age, but we just wanna show our love for each other, but I’m not sure the kind of dress to wear.
I’ve always been wondering, why those dresses that are specifically bridesmaids dresses or wedding dresses, are always so ugly? I have never seen any dress in these shows that were looking better than OK. And yet they are so disproportionately expensive. Can anybody tell me the reason behind this? I mean at this point I would rather just go shopping at an average fashion store like Zara or H&M etc. and pick out dresses for my bridesmaids there, and they would look just as good, at a fraction of the price. So again if anyone has some more info about why on earth people throw out every last bit of taste in fashion once they walk in to a bridesmaids/wedding dress store, I would love to know!😅🫶
I think the second you have a bridal shop and use the word bridesmaid dress the price automatically rises. As for taste, after seeing the UK traveller wedding/bridesmaid dresses normal bridesmaid dresses look tame in comparison.
I agree. I haven’t found any of these dresses visually pleasing in any way:/ i’m not sure when these were filmed so the year might have an effect on how the dresses look, but i truly find most of them ugly, boring, plain and the best of them are just ok. I’ve seen prettier dresses at H&M or online stores like zalando and such
It’s important to remember that these are 2000s southern bridesmaids dresses- it does not appeal to a lot of people. But the fabrics used in bridal shops dresses are significantly higher quality than H and M. A department store like Dillards might give you something comparable, but it would run you about the same and then you don’t get the whole ‘day out with friends’ experience of a private fitting like showed in say yes.
These shows have always had ugly bridesmaids dresses. I've always been baffled. It was tacky even when it came out. Not sure why they kept picking bad ones.
Quote of the week. "It's like her pancreas has deflated, (then) been draped loosely over her intestines." Love it. HauteLeMode you put the snark into snark. I salute you Sir.
Plzzzz do more of these! I used to watch yes to the dress sooo much! But I’ve literally never loved the bridesmaid options they all just were the same… but ya love your reaction
Me sitting in Eastern Europe where most people already have a dress to wear to a wedding (no matter if they are the bridesmaids or not) and wear whatever the fck they want bcs the bride has no say in it unless she would be the one paying for it, which in my country is not the case, most of us aren't that rich. The bride stands out anyway since she is the only person wearing white.

And then 18:32 happens and I can’t stop laughing omg 😂😂😂😜😃 And the thing is, I am laying in bed, just getting home from being so sick in the hospital with severe pancreatitis!! Everyone is worried about me so I am staying safe laying in bed watching your videos and you say this! Haha, first laugh I have had in a very hard week, thank you. 😂❤
Recently went shopping for my wedding dress and I was telling the lady helping me in and out of the dresses about your channel! Living in my head rent free
What is common for weddings now is for the bride to tell her girls a color, material, and length from one brand. It is rare for the bridesmaids to wear the exact same dress. In fact, the new trend is for the bride to give her girls a color scheme to choose from and they communicate to create a cohesive look.
Love your content, reviewing these type of shows is always funny. The utter disgust and horror you go thru is absolutely hilarious. I appreciate the hard work,thank you💖💯💯💖
My mum’s parents married at 21 & 23, dad’s parents married at 18&22, my parents split the difference and got married at 19&20…… I’m 28, never married, single and the sole parent to a 3yo with ADHD, sooooo I don’t see a wedding before at least 30 if I met mister right tomorrow lol.
I think some observations I've made of SYTTD bridesmaids eps are: 1. Brides are getting married before their brains have finished developing so their ideas make sense from a very youthful decision making lens. Hopefully the wedding days go so so well that in the future even though the brides would make different choices they still feel incredibly happy with their wedding choices! 2. Mom's are too outdated in their views and can't assimilate to new styles (while brides try to get too creative and modern) 3. Mom's maybe had older women making wedding choices for them they couldn't push back on. Plus being mom's they're likely used to making these big event decisions for their daughters that it's hard to recognize their authority doesn't apply to wedding picks 4. I think some issues mom's have is that transitioning of daughter finally becoming an independent adult and the major part of their lives (the mom's) is over. And that's hard! the stress and joy that comes from motherhood makes it tough to recognize its over and forces you to face time. 5. Mom's and daughter's who are more friends than parent child have messy relationships and family therapy is needed. Daughter's seem like abuse victims sometimes and mom's seem mentally ill, typically in a personality disorder type of way
I think the best thing for bridesmaids is picking a set color, length and material, and then they can each get a shape that they feel comfortable/happy in.
Sometimes when parents pay they seem to think it gives them carte blanche. It shouldn't. Paying shouldn't confer 'I make all the decisions' rights. You give and step back or don't offer.
At least that last bride didn't go with the horrid waste of flowers! lol And if my mom was like the first one, I would have uninvited her from my wedding.
I remember there was an episode where the mom decided to also try on wedding dresses just for fun while she was berating her daughter the entire time. And that mother refused to see how she was wrong for doing that
With the second set: my mom has been a bridesmaid in a couple weddings where the bridesmaids pick their own dresses. However, in those cases the dresses are still unified in some way (usually color), and they all went shopping on their own time as opposed to going to a bridal salon for them. This situation is just chaos
Luke you had a couple editing oopsies towards the end of the video where you repeated the same line over again twice 😬 17:26 I don’t remember where the other one was. Just wanted you to know ❤
My bridesmaids dresses (back in the 80s!) were all the same color and fabric (pale mint linen) but different styles. I was in a Laura Ashley cream silk dress, very plain and simple and borrowed from my sister, and we got their dresses at, I believe, someplace like Marshalls or TJ Maxx. Very pale mint colored linen, tea length. I only had 3 bridesmaids and one maid-of-honor. I thought we were the bomb LOL. Actually, the wedding dress was truly beautiful.
My son recently got married and they did a similar thing. All floor length burgundy dresses in the same material but being different sizes, chose empire waists as the most flattering. Two chose spaghetti straps, one wider straps (chest) and the matron thicker off the shoulder straps/sleeves. Together and with the bride looked lovely. (The boys and one girl looked great too). Letting the bridesmaids choose their preferred straps/sleeves for comfort level was what the bride wanted and they all matched well.
For my wedding, I let my bridesmaids pick whatever dress they felt comfortable in, just had to be all the same color. It worked perfectly, so sometimes it can. But my bridesmaids are also pretty chill and low key and definitely wanted me to like it too, so I guess it depends on the type of people you have in your bridal party!
I honestly can’t get more than 2 minutes into this video because Say Yes To The Dress is rotting my brain. I lose brain cells every time I perceive anything by TLC
That 1st mom needs to be STOPPED. If my mom behaved that way to my friends, she'd be kicked right out

That's a really lovely idea, and I'd definitely just get a black dress. But as someone who never wears black, I'd never wear that again. Black looks bad on me. Very sweet of the bride to try to make a choice the bridesmaids can still use afterwards though.
I love the mismatched dress look - as long as the dresses are cohesive, it looks great and everyone gets to wear something that they actually like and might actually re-wear.
For my wedding I was open for the dresses to be the same color different style (all floor length though) for the bridesmaids. I wanted the all to look nice. Cool part was I found a dress that actually looked great on all of them. And it didn’t break the bank. 😄😊 They all looked lovely and that made me happy. I wanted them to look pretty too.
For my sister’s wedding her bridesmaids had the same color different floor length style. And as her maid of honor I wore a different complementary color. It looked so good in the photos, very cohesive and everyone looked pretty.
As someone from outside the US, the idea of bridesmaids all wearing a similar dress seems really unnecessary and honestly tacky. Why can't they just wear what they want to the wedding?
@@meganjaime7728 My sister just had two bridesmaids: her sister-in-law and me. She wanted us in green, but in what suited us. L. is tall, blonde, blue eyed, and has a lovely hourglass figure. I'm just under five feet tall, dark haired, brown eyed, and kind of rectangle shaped. L got a foam green mermaid gown, and I took a jade green, form fitting bodice and straight skirt one. It worked out nicely for all of us.
@@franciscasilva8406 Just our tradition!
I’ve seen a couple of weddings where the color and material were the same, but the dresses were each different and it looked really nice.
Yep, I did the same at my wedding because my handful of bridesmaids were all so different I thought it's be best to let THEM select the style they felt most comfortable with, which would also make it more likely they'd be able to wear the dress again. EDIT (forgot to add that they DID NOT have full run of the store, we agreed on their max budget/price in advance & that narrowed down the options they were presented with & plus there were only 3. Tho I was in 1 w/6 but it was just slight variations on 3 styles.) Each one of them looked soooo good & also loved their dress. But I also was a bridesmaid who just showed up, shut up & got fitted for the dress, & never wore it again; different people different weddings, it's your day girl, & if your my friend, relative, or soon to be in-law, the most I'll say is "if your happy, I'm happy" & I just won't ever tell you that I BURNED that dress cuz NOBODY should be subject to that hideous monstrosity EVER AGAIN! LOL
What did the dress look like? (Before it was cremated.) Was it an ugly color, print, fit? I want the deets!!! 😏🔥👗😌👌
@@plinko84 Colour was nice, it was "wine", but the material was Awful! This rough scratchy semi sheer synthetic draped all over in "Greek style", over one shoulder that INSANELY difficult to get fitted properly. Multiple girls had dress issues day of...the maid of honour's dress burst open last minute n had to be pinned back together literally right before we all went down the isle. All the hanging fabric made it a hazard n half of the dresses were ruined by the end. I'd flown back for it n I didn't actually burn it, but I DID have fun cutting it to piece with my friend who does costume/wardrobe on Broadway who obviously felt the same as I did....oh n we would've died from toxic fumes if we'd BURNED cuz it was such a cheap synthetic.
My sister-in-law just said “pick whatever as long as it’s black.” I found a beautiful dress that I’ve worn many times since.
my sister did this for her wedding, and we all looked fantastic! it was so nice being able to pick a dress that i felt flattered me
The mom in the first fat shaming these women is disgusting. I know they're encouraged to be dramatic for entertainment purposes, but nothing about that was entertaining. I would be embarrassed if that was my mom. I would call her out immediately and threaten to have her kicked out
Unfortunately producers would do anything to create drama and call to people’s worst traits. I hate that they think of the viewers need that.
You know what I love about you? When it comes to professional fashion designers, you do not hesitate to tear a bitch up because you hold them to the high standards that they claim to be selling... but when it comes to these normal, everyday women choosing wedding garb, you are so kind and supportive. A lot of fashion influencers cannot make that distinction; they think that holding everyone to THE HIGHEST of standards is what makes them a fashion expert. You're one of the few that recognizes the difference between high fashion and everyday needs, and you adjust your criticisms accordingly. You're just a very classy person, and I love you for it ❤
I feel bad for the bridesmaids because the bride doesn't have control about what her mom says, but I'd also be upset if I'm getting bodyshamed and my friend is not saying anything
"Her pancreas has deflated" made me actually laugh out loud.
The way i laughed at "frother and froughter"
Me too I laughed out loud omg hahaha😂😂😂😂
@@maple4633hahah 😂😂😂
In Nigeria the second bride is how we handle bridesmaids dresses (sort of). The bride gives her bridal party fabric or a colour that is of the pattern and texture that she likes and the brides give them to tailors to make whatever design they want for the wedding.
Groom does a similar thing, usually the bride & groom wear specific colours that are different to each other.
*Bride & groom parties
I love that way of doing things - not everyone looks the same or feels as comfortable in one cut/neckline, so it feels natural to give the bridesmaids/groomsmen one axis to be cohesive on and let them find something that they can be comfortable and confident in.
That sounds really cool. Having met few people from Nigeria it seems everyone there is either a seamstress/tailor or has someone close who's a talented tailor because they always dressed in impeccably fitting, stylish clothes that looked irrationally expensive. Sharp colourful suits, custom dresses, not to mention all the incredible Nigerian seamstress on YT. I absolutely live for Nigerian formal gowns.
Ruffles are definitely a southern thing. They had a big moment in sorority girl weddings for a while.
I🫣don’t remind me. I have THREE bridesmaids dresses that make me look like a head of lettuce with the amount of ruffles
I find its much harder to judge the bridesmaid dresses because most of the time they're getting them ordered in for the proper color. We had a similar idea to the last group for my brother's wedding, and while it looked really weird seeing 6 women with 6 different colored dresses in store, getting them all together in one color and seeing all of us together made everything look SO MUCH BETTER.
Is there any chance you could do a bookshelf tour? I really would love to know where you got some of those gorgeous fashion books!
haha i've been planning on it so keep your eyes peeled!!
@@hautelemode. So pleased to hear this! I sometimes look at the screen sideways trying to read the titles. I got a crick in my neck!! 😂
@@hautelemodeYes! Music to my ears! I have been waiting for this video!
i am indian and at indian weddings EVERYONE (including babies) dresses their best and it still doesn't take attention away from the bride because she's the bride, everyone knows that, they are at her celebration. Here it's almost considered rude if you don't put in your best effort to dress like you didn't care. so if it's a colleague's wedding i'd wear something less showy (cuz i'm not that close with her) but if it's my sister's wedding then i am all in!
I don't get it either. I went to a summer wedding and I think I accidentally offended one of the bridesmaids because I wore white sandal dress shoes with a blue dress. I didn't wear a white dress(which American brides wear), so who cares what color shoes I have? I didn't know that was a thing.
And white isn't even a traditional colour @@JDMimeTHEFIRST
The first mom seems to use tears for sympathy. Like I can’t believe her actually crying like that after talking about her daughter’s friends like that.
The best way to do different bridesmaid dresses is give 2 or more specifics. For my wedding it was a specific color and material. For my sister in laws wedding is was a color scheme and no beading or other crazy embellishments with some type of flowy fabric. It turned out super pretty both times. Everyone picked there favorites and it all worked out. Just saying Yolo isn't gonna help lol
Color and material are good . . .maybe length as well. I think thats enough to match and no one cares about necklines. Everyone has different bodies, too. They aren't trying to make those look the same.
I had all of my bridesmaids in different dresses, but I only had five of them. I chose a gradient of colors (navy, dark purple, mid purple, light, lightest) and have them stand in that order. One bridesmaid got to reuse a BM dress, and we found deals on just about all the others! I can't imagine doing a free-for-all like the first bride tried, though.
That's such a cute idea, I love it.
especially for dresses bought form a boutique! 😵💫 i can’t imagine that’s going to be cheap.
I’d understand if the bridesmaids could buy their own dress from wherever with some direction on what to get (color and dress length), so at least id would be in their own style or budget. What these brides are doing is not a smart way to do it.
My sister did a country/outdoor wedding and we all had different bridesmaid dresses, but her rule was navy blue, above the knee, shorter sleeves. It worked really well, but it was because there were rules that brought them all together, especially with our brown cowgirl boots lol. Believe it or not, it was all really cute, and her style through and through.
OUU! That's so very adorable!! Country Fresh.🎉
@loverofeverythingbeautiful3610 thank you so much ❤️. It really was so cute ☺️
You think people are insane for getting married at 21 and then you turn 21 and suddenly everyone around you is engaged. I’ve had whiplash for like a year
my response to weddings at 21 is eternally "who has wedding money?!" unless it's a pregnancy situation and the family is religious I cannot fathom having that cash available at such a young age. My parents would think me insane to marry at 21 and never consent to it ergo, no cash to spend at the wedding junction.
I was married at 21. When we went to the city hall to get the license, the clerk was somebody I knew. She told me later that the couple who came in behind us was someone whose older sister went to school with my 19-year-old brother and they were talking about me after I left, saying that I was so old they thought I was going to be an old maid.
@@robertawalsh2995 wow then me at 37 not married i m beyond old maid :))
Jeez people getting married at 21. I’m 22 and have never dated or even kissed anyone yet. I couldn’t even imagine being married last year or a few years from now. I have a friend who’s a year older, has a lot of dating experience, and is talking about getting married next year and it still blows me away but it’s not as shocking as so many of the people I know from high school straight up having families at this age. I’m still trying to develop as a person on my own, there’s so much of my life left to go, it’s just baffling to me that so many people feel ready for any of that this young (though most of the kids I know of have been unplanned, I thank my obsessive knowledge of almost types of contraception for not having to deal with that even though I haven’t had opportunity for a kid to come about anyway lol). My 77 year old landlady (divorced) got married at around 25 because her mother insisted she’d be “left on the shelf” and be an old maid, she always says if she could go back she wouldn’t have gotten married at all, let alone so young. My parents got together when my mom was 19 and married when she was 25 but that definitely didn’t end well for them.
I'm almost twice that and never married. I'd like to be, but why is everyone in a big rush? All the people who get married young end up divorced at my age anyway. Plus you get more experience and learn more about yourself and what you're looking for in a partner. That can change over time. Don't be concerned with what others do.
As a former bridal consultant, the bride who wanted all her girls to choose different styles was the most difficult. It wasn't choosing the dresses, it was ensuring the colors would work. Even if all the dresses were the same designer and same fabric, dye lots were never guaranteed. Many years ago, we had a line of bridesmaids separates. They could choose the color(s), fabrics, top/neckline/sleeve, and skirt length/fullness and so the colors would be guaranteed. Today, there are respectable and reliable websites that ensure dresses are the same colors , even if they are different styles.
As for actually seeing the bride's vision, I had one lovely bride who wanted red and yellow dresses for her two bridesmaids. After confirming the colors, I brought out a dress in each color. The bride looked at her mom and said, "You're right. They look like ketchup and mustard bottles." 😆 She was wonderful, though!
She would need to have an orange dress to cancel it out.
The second bride was ahead of her time. The trend now is not only different dress styles, but also different colors. I’m planning my wedding currently and it’s funny how bridesmaids in all the same dresses already looks dated
I remember when people would request the different dress look and I think it can work with a consistent color palette and fabric
Im the oldest of 4 sisters. When our youngest sister got married, the rest of us were her bridesmaids. It was a late spring wedding, and we were able to choose our own dresses, as long as they were long, black, and sleeveless. The three of us wore completely different styles, and our sister loved the way we looked. Also, the black dresses were fine for a spring wedding because the rest of her colour palette for the wedding was light.
I got told a style line (more of an entire brand focused on wedding stuff? not sure), fabric, color, and to go nuts from there. I think the pics look great, no one has That One Spot on their dress that shows where they're shaped different.
I think some of us ended up having them altered after into more cock-tail length so we could wear them again? (mostly to other weddings, the ones Outside that friend group)
I think it's more common with heavily religious couples where they wait until marriage.
This was amazing! When I got married on Halloween 2021, I had the same style of bridesmaid dresses, but in different fall leaves colored. Like a dark wine red, a dark Forrest green, a burnt mustard, and a burnt orange. I let each of my girlies pick which color they wanted to wear. I also had all of the different body types and skin tones and hair colors. So I wanted them to still feel beautiful. It was a one shoulder, natural waist pleated chiffon, full length. They all seemed genuinely happy and comfortable and beautiful! I even borrowed and wore the orange one to a friend’s wedding just this June!
The back on that pink dress on the thumbnail is ADORABLE.
Also, finally something innocent we can all get behind hating: ugly bridesmaids dresses. 😂
I will never understand why some need their friends in the most unflattering dress. Yellow makes you look older (makes your teeth and whites of the eyes look yellow, which happens with age). Just give your friends a color and maybe a material and let them choose what they think looks best.
I saw a bride who had EVERYONE in white and the only difference was her bouquet. Every flower in it represented a bridesmaid, so they all had a different color, which came together in the most beautiful bouquet. I only saw a few photos, but the potential of getting the girls to match their flower and color scheme would be so fun. Then to tie into the decor and space looked interesting.
im screamingg how can these twenty somethings have families with wedding money, I know I'm broke but am I that poor 😭 😭
Especially the one with was it 8 sisters? Who's paying for all that I wonder.
Some families/couples go into a ridiculous amount of debt to throw an epic party.
Our wedding was very modest, but still beautiful. Even so, if I knew then what I know now, I wouldn’t have wasted money on a big, white dress. I would’ve instead bought a dressy dress that I would/could wear more than once.
Luke, your commentary is always just so delightful 💖 Just the right blend between snark and genuine kindness.
"Her pancreas has been deflated.." 🤣 😂
"needing to really laugh, feel bad, question my life choices... all of the above". I cracked up and am so in agreement. Those last dresses - the brides way of sabotaging the "maids" so she does look stunning and they look - well fugly! Made my day, Luke. xoxo
it's funny to me the drama about the bridesmaids picking their own different dresses cause in my country that's mostly how we do it (although in this case I understand that it's harder giving the bride's specific vision)
Watching this argument about the different necklines while planning my wedding and going to all my girlfriends fittings is hilarious to me... I am like that one bride, I'll pick the material and color, my bridesmaids job is to find something they are comfortable in. Some girls have butts, some have boobs some have nothing at all... Plus they are buying the dress not me... Why should I put someone in something that doesn't fit their body type.. that one mother probably ordered smaller sizes for her brides maids because they weren't "thin enough"😂
I thought Lori was going to drop the “oh bless her heart” …. Which here in the south is not a very complementary free.😂 when a southern lady with class uses the bless her heart you know there is some tea and some rage behind that sweet Southern charm.
And just a quick reminder to everybody that Luke does not need fashion, but fashion needs Luke. And all are gorgeous. Fabulous people and deserve a wonderful day.🩵🩷🖤
They seem to get married so young on these shows.
Yeah it's strange. I wouldn't get married before at least 36.
@@AragornElessar Some of yall aren't suited for marriage at all and that's ok. Just dont judge others' decisions so boldly like that. Not everyone has had your same experience and goals in life.
YESS my favorite reaction series is BACK
Really glad I chose to be a mother, not a fruther lol…I’m starting to think “my mom is my best friend” just means she’s horrible to her daughter & probably crashes girls night… whatever happened to “whatever idea you have is brilliant because it’s your wedding & I want you to be so happy!” ???
I had a vision of everyone wears a dress of their choosing in the same colour. The men were told black suit in any style with a white shirt. My husband and I provided them with matching ties that coordinated with the ladies burgundy dress colour. The ladies all got black velvet wraps ( winter wedding) We also had junior bridesmaids that wore green and burgundy floral prints and a flower girl in green velvet that matched her mother's dress ( my sister in law stood up with my husband and the groomsmen so she wore black velvet. Mother of the bride had a green satin dress in the same green as the flower girls but the same style as my maid of honor. It was beautiful. If you have different ages or body types letting them all pick an appropriate style for them makes everyone more comfortable.
I love seeing your bookshelf filled out more and more every episode 😁
I been to many weddings that the bridesmaids all had different necklines, and they were just fine.
Hi there, I’m at 40-year-old bride… kind of.. I’ve been with my other half for 18+ years… at my age. I know I will not have a typical wedding dress or experience.. sadly family deaths and parents deaths have put up pause on our wedding plans. Everyone calls us, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, which is fine but we do want to get married. I’m just not sure the attire what we should do at this point if you have any ideas that would be amazing. We probably won’t have any bridal party because of our age, but we just wanna show our love for each other, but I’m not sure the kind of dress to wear.
i was just laughing my ass off the entire video. youe commentary on the dresses was just hilarious!
FROTHER AND FRAUGHTER I'M DEAD
This is the only fashion channel I’m subscribed to…and I love every single vid!
I’ve always been wondering, why those dresses that are specifically bridesmaids dresses or wedding dresses, are always so ugly? I have never seen any dress in these shows that were looking better than OK. And yet they are so disproportionately expensive. Can anybody tell me the reason behind this? I mean at this point I would rather just go shopping at an average fashion store like Zara or H&M etc. and pick out dresses for my bridesmaids there, and they would look just as good, at a fraction of the price.
So again if anyone has some more info about why on earth people throw out every last bit of taste in fashion once they walk in to a bridesmaids/wedding dress store, I would love to know!😅🫶
I think the second you have a bridal shop and use the word bridesmaid dress the price automatically rises. As for taste, after seeing the UK traveller wedding/bridesmaid dresses normal bridesmaid dresses look tame in comparison.
I agree. I haven’t found any of these dresses visually pleasing in any way:/ i’m not sure when these were filmed so the year might have an effect on how the dresses look, but i truly find most of them ugly, boring, plain and the best of them are just ok. I’ve seen prettier dresses at H&M or online stores like zalando and such
It’s important to remember that these are 2000s southern bridesmaids dresses- it does not appeal to a lot of people. But the fabrics used in bridal shops dresses are significantly higher quality than H and M. A department store like Dillards might give you something comparable, but it would run you about the same and then you don’t get the whole ‘day out with friends’ experience of a private fitting like showed in say yes.
These shows have always had ugly bridesmaids dresses. I've always been baffled. It was tacky even when it came out. Not sure why they kept picking bad ones.
This was so amusing and definitely entertaining Luke. Make more like this.
Quote of the week. "It's like her pancreas has deflated, (then) been draped loosely over her intestines." Love it. HauteLeMode you put the snark into snark. I salute you Sir.
My niece’s bridesmaids wore dresses of the same length, color, and fabric. Each chose the style that suited them, and all looked lovely.
Your knowing look at the camera cracks me up.
Marrying at 21 is wild. Cannot believe it still happens in this day and age.
Yeah, it seems wrong.
To me as well it seems wild my mother got married when she was 26
Criticizing the life of others you don't know contexts of is wild. Cannot believe it still happens in this day and age.
My pancreas and in test tines nearly burst with my laughter. Love your creative commentary!
I’ll take a pancreas with a side of “More of these reaction videos” please??!!
That mom making a gag every time they brought up black dresses when what she wants is a tacky jeans and shirts moment.
Luke, the thumbnail is priceless. I belly laughed. Gonna save it for when I am crabby and laugh myself out of it. 😜🙂💛
Plzzzz do more of these! I used to watch yes to the dress sooo much!
But I’ve literally never loved the bridesmaid options they all just were the same… but ya love your reaction
Me sitting in Eastern Europe where most people already have a dress to wear to a wedding (no matter if they are the bridesmaids or not) and wear whatever the fck they want bcs the bride has no say in it unless she would be the one paying for it, which in my country is not the case, most of us aren't that rich. The bride stands out anyway since she is the only person wearing white.
All I have to say is that I have NEVER seen a bridesmaids dress in this show that I’ve actually liked.
“Sorry about that Karen” INSTANTLY ICONIC
After a long day of questioning my own life choices, I really appreciate being able to unwind by watch you judge other people's life choices 😅
"The ruffles look like fungi". 🤣🤣🤣
The pancreas comment made me stop dead in my tracks 😂
Pancreas. I’m dying.

And then 18:32 happens and I can’t stop laughing omg 😂😂😂😜😃 And the thing is, I am laying in bed, just getting home from being so sick in the hospital with severe pancreatitis!! Everyone is worried about me so I am staying safe laying in bed watching your videos and you say this! Haha, first laugh I have had in a very hard week, thank you. 😂❤
Recently went shopping for my wedding dress and I was telling the lady helping me in and out of the dresses about your channel! Living in my head rent free
Did the first bride say her wedding was Black Tie? But she’s dressing all her bridesmaids in cocktail dresses??
The deflated pancreas reaction!!! 🤣🤣
Never mind the dresses.. devine commentary ❤
The patience to communicate with brides is impressive. They often don’t have as much of an open mind.
I just want Luke’s entire channel to be say yes to the dress reactions.
Glad you did this Ryan. I haven't seen this show in years so the recent one shoulder styles , you'll have to get over 😂.
What is common for weddings now is for the bride to tell her girls a color, material, and length from one brand. It is rare for the bridesmaids to wear the exact same dress. In fact, the new trend is for the bride to give her girls a color scheme to choose from and they communicate to create a cohesive look.
I request more comparisons to organs please, that was so viscerally evocative and made me cackle
Love this show. The expressions on his face are worth the watch. Really like his fashion choices
Love your content, reviewing these type of shows is always funny. The utter disgust and horror you go thru is absolutely hilarious. I appreciate the hard work,thank you💖💯💯💖
I love love love your reaction to say yes to the dress videos!!!! Love you ❤
My mum’s parents married at 21 & 23, dad’s parents married at 18&22, my parents split the difference and got married at 19&20…… I’m 28, never married, single and the sole parent to a 3yo with ADHD, sooooo I don’t see a wedding before at least 30 if I met mister right tomorrow lol.
The last 3 bridesmaids dresses were too much!!! 😂Oh dear
I think some observations I've made of SYTTD bridesmaids eps are:
1. Brides are getting married before their brains have finished developing so their ideas make sense from a very youthful decision making lens. Hopefully the wedding days go so so well that in the future even though the brides would make different choices they still feel incredibly happy with their wedding choices!
2. Mom's are too outdated in their views and can't assimilate to new styles (while brides try to get too creative and modern)
3. Mom's maybe had older women making wedding choices for them they couldn't push back on. Plus being mom's they're likely used to making these big event decisions for their daughters that it's hard to recognize their authority doesn't apply to wedding picks
4. I think some issues mom's have is that transitioning of daughter finally becoming an independent adult and the major part of their lives (the mom's) is over. And that's hard! the stress and joy that comes from motherhood makes it tough to recognize its over and forces you to face time.
5. Mom's and daughter's who are more friends than parent child have messy relationships and family therapy is needed. Daughter's seem like abuse victims sometimes and mom's seem mentally ill, typically in a personality disorder type of way
These videos are always a wild ride! Thanks for doing that for us Luke 👰♀
I think the best thing for bridesmaids is picking a set color, length and material, and then they can each get a shape that they feel comfortable/happy in.
Thumbs up for the pancreas drape.
It's not the MOM'S wedding so moms can stfu honestly. Leave it up to the bride.
Sometimes when parents pay they seem to think it gives them carte blanche. It shouldn't. Paying shouldn't confer 'I make all the decisions' rights. You give and step back or don't offer.
*Please cover the BET awards, Luke!!*
At least that last bride didn't go with the horrid waste of flowers! lol
And if my mom was like the first one, I would have uninvited her from my wedding.
I missed the notification for this - cant wait to see this!!! I love your say yes to the dress videos
I remember there was an episode where the mom decided to also try on wedding dresses just for fun while she was berating her daughter the entire time. And that mother refused to see how she was wrong for doing that
I am 21, and the thought of getting married is absolutely wild. I couldn’t imagine committing to anyone, or be able to make that promise to someone
UGH I love these react videos, I needed this today Luke ty
With the second set: my mom has been a bridesmaid in a couple weddings where the bridesmaids pick their own dresses. However, in those cases the dresses are still unified in some way (usually color), and they all went shopping on their own time as opposed to going to a bridal salon for them. This situation is just chaos
Nothing like being horrible to the poor girl in the tighter dress
It's clear the first mom definitely had a baby while she was a teen. She's still acting like one.
Yeah but that doesnt justify her behaviour, and i can say even teens dont act like one
Luke you had a couple editing oopsies towards the end of the video where you repeated the same line over again twice 😬 17:26 I don’t remember where the other one was. Just wanted you to know ❤
It’s here 15:26
YAYYYY i miss these reactions xoxo
My bridesmaids dresses (back in the 80s!) were all the same color and fabric (pale mint linen) but different styles. I was in a Laura Ashley cream silk dress, very plain and simple and borrowed from my sister, and we got their dresses at, I believe, someplace like Marshalls or TJ Maxx. Very pale mint colored linen, tea length. I only had 3 bridesmaids and one maid-of-honor. I thought we were the bomb LOL. Actually, the wedding dress was truly beautiful.
My son recently got married and they did a similar thing. All floor length burgundy dresses in the same material but being different sizes, chose empire waists as the most flattering. Two chose spaghetti straps, one wider straps (chest) and the matron thicker off the shoulder straps/sleeves. Together and with the bride looked lovely. (The boys and one girl looked great too). Letting the bridesmaids choose their preferred straps/sleeves for comfort level was what the bride wanted and they all matched well.
For my wedding, I let my bridesmaids pick whatever dress they felt comfortable in, just had to be all the same color. It worked perfectly, so sometimes it can. But my bridesmaids are also pretty chill and low key and definitely wanted me to like it too, so I guess it depends on the type of people you have in your bridal party!
You saw what were working with. Omg. I love you 😂😂💕💕💕💕
at 4:21, all 3 of us had our mouths open (Monty, Luke and me)
