The consultant actually listened to both of them and found them a dress at half their budget!? Impressive! The dress looked great both ways but I'm glad they found something that worked for them both.
The dress was 20% of her budget =P the bolero was what cost lol. and tbh... I am floored at the price, dress is fantastic, and GLAD for once they didnt go over budget =D
This is the first time I saw an episode that the consultant actually pulled out a gown way below the bride’s budget 😅 They do have affordable gowns after all.
“It’s too casual” … I mean, it’s a carnival wedding. It doesn’t get much more casual than that. I’m glad the mom and bride were both happy in the end though! ❤️
The lace jacket really does make it bridal and not just a nice dress. Mum was right. She can always use the jacket for the ceremony and the belt for the party.
I do not understand why people, namely mothers, cannot get behind what the bride wants. Imo, she chose it bc of her mom. Still looks pretty but let these young adults make their own decisions.
If you bring your mom to the appointment, you want her opinion. Doesn't mean they will get their way, but I don't think it's fair to call them out for stating their preferences so long as it's respectful (which it was)
mom had a point, though, without the lace it just looked like a prom dress. you can go short, you can go plain, but if you try to do both you just end up looking more like you're going to a dinner party than getting married.
Moms it doesn’t matter if you’re paying, the bride gets what makes her feel beautiful. You can put a limit on price but you don’t get to pick the dress.
I set a reasonable budget for my daughters. They went a bit over - that was their responsibility. But to use finances as leverage to get my choice of dresses? Never!
I think in these situations, you need to be upfront and have a polite conversation with parents who are helping to pay for the wedding. You need to set expectations, or you're going to end up with problems. Ideally - this money is a GIFT from your parents to you for your wedding. As it's a gift, you will be making decisions on what you want to do with this gift. You wouldn't give someone a giftcard for Christmas and then demand they only buy an item you approve of, so it should work similarly (and like any gift, you should express some serious gratitude over someone handing over a huge amount of money to you that you're not entitled to).
Hmmm. David is not the owner of the store. So why you act like he is the boss or something, I am perplexed. And David has found lots of dresses below budget. Why do you not understand the dress the bride leaves with depends on 1. her budget 2. what style of dress she wants and 3. what dresses the store has in stock. If the bride wants lots of bling, "special" details, etc. with a £1000 budget, you should know she is not going to get it. In ANY shop. Especially in one that stocks lots of higher-end designers. You won't find a Pnina Tornai dress in Lancaster. So there is a reason the dresses here can be more expensive, and it is NOT David Emmanuel's fault.
@@catladyfromky4142I respect your opinion but I am not convinced.. Brides with 2k or 3k budget should easily find dresses in this store. He should respect their budget instead of putting them in gowns that cost double their budget + the fact that he always asks for stretch before trying to searh for suitable choices is really unacceptable
@@timak23LB Yes, with budgets of £2000-3000. But if one reviews the times when the consultant goes way over budget, it is because the budget is around £1000. That is a HUGE difference. Considering many of these same brides want the "wow factor," the only way they can walk out with a dress is if they spend more. Most of the dresses in the store are between £2000-3000. It is not like Kleinfeld, which has lots of dresses over $15,000. The selection of dresses in the £1000-1500 range is really small in a small store. Commenters who complain about this store (or David in particular) going over budget ignore all these other variables. In fact, they remark how "David didn't go over budget this time" when the budget was between £2000-3000 or when the bride wanted something simple. Those are important factors, and that you actually wrote the same thing should be noted. That is all.
Our daughter took my husband and I dress shopping with her. We each picked one for her to try on, but the dress she chose was one SHE picked out, and that's as it should be. Fortunately, she has excellent taste, the one she chose was GORGEOUS. It was her wedding, we never could've bullied her into wearing something she didn't like.
Same. Our daughter told us up front that her dad's opinion was the only one she was going to pay attention to, and that's how it went. Her dress was incredible.
It's a fun carnival themed wedding for a young lady.. the dress with the added belt was absolutely beautiful ☺... imo the lace on top made her look older. She chose that to appease her mom but the I think she should've stuck with the dress and belt alone
I freaking LOVE Zoe! Why was the dress 1/10th of the cost of other gowns? Is it because it is less fabric? It’s not THAT much less! Plus for the super short brides (like me) this might be a very budget friendly option that looks like a full length gown!
Ummm...The dress was in the shop, and it was priced as it was. And David is not the owner of the store. And the owner, Christine Lando, will be happy that she got a sale rather than not. So whatever you were thinking, you were way off.
Another episode of "this is not your wedding" and doesn't matter if mom was right, what matter is that the bride doesn't like lace, so if she is wearing lace is because her mom pushed to her.
Frankly, I’m surprised mum liked the dress With the lacy bolero. I thought she’d object to the tea length once she’d gotten a bit of lace. My bad. 🥴 (Note: I Still don’t think she should have been crying in the first place, not while looking at such a happy daughter.)
nah that bolero did a LOT of heavy lifting making the dress look more bridal. i'm surprised they didn't top it off with a veil though, that always cinches it for the moms.
While I do like the lace jacket over the dress the point is that mothers need to remember it is not their day and they are not the one wearing the dress.
The mom was right, though. The second dress was basically a prom or bridesmaid’s dress. I like tea length, I like structured satin, but the two combined didn’t look bridal enough to me
This mother of the bride was very difficult to work with… She wasn’t listening to her daughter in anyway and or does she care about her feelings. I really felt sad for the daughter and the consultant really helped bring the situation around to where the bride was able to buy the dress she wanted which too many was very simple but she didn’t want a big fancy dress and she wanted something she was going to feel comfortable in and she looked lovely and even without the lace bolero!! Adding it on, made the mother happy but I think the bride was just as happy without it but it was a compromise and by then they were both smiling and teary-eyed and ready to go forward to the wedding. This was a lovely woman who did not compromise on what she wanted and I wish this bro the best of luck and I hope she’ll be able to stand up to her mom in the future bowls in the wedding and when she’s married❣️
I do like the lace Valero on the dress, however….. I do think the mother was way out of line and too controlling in regards to the dress. The main thing is that THE BRIDE, THE ONE GETTING MARRIED is happy and although she is happy with the end result I do think the mom could’ve just backed down a little bit and let her daughter, the bride decide fully without judgement. You’re bringing people wedding dress shopping with you to help you make a decision NOT to get judged. But like I said, she looks lovely no matter what she is choosin’. And as long as THE BRIDE IS HAPPY that’s all that matters.
Why only two dresses to try on? I didn't think the bolero went with the dress. Maybe a beautiful necklace, earrings, and something in the hair would have been better.
A lot of bridal shops offer not just wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses but prom and evening wear as well. It looked more like a special occasion dress but like you mentioned not a wedding dress.
When the future MIL agrees with the bride but the mum doesn't. 🤔 At least the final compromise with the lace bolero worked out beautifully and made everyone happy 😀
Happily, I managed to stave off various female relatives and went shopping for a wedding dress on my own, since it was all my decision and none of theirs. They were somewhat surprised when I decided upon a knee-length very minimal 1920's style - which suited me, and ultimately, they liked.
At that low price, maybe she could have bought the belt as well and swapped the lace jacket for the belt for the reception. I thought the dress looked great on her.
This "coat" made the dress look cheaper and less elegant. Yes, it was elegant because of its simplicity, now there is just too much going on. With it, the bride looks less slim as well
"She can't get married in that" seriously? I would have bought it on the spot! On an unrelated note, I feel sorry for the MOB as she obviously has a bad skin condition. My best guess is rosacea, which I also have, but mine isn't near as bad.
I don't understand why mothers want their fashion style on their daughter's wedding dress. Life moves forward not backwards, their roll should be only supportive not manipulative and controlling. Let go MOM let go..
I understand bringing your personality into a wedding, but I don't really get the point of most "themed" weddings...I mean, isn't the wedding themed enough? I mean, it's not everyday you're getting married.
It's right for the entourage to have an opinion, though what bugs me here is the mother kept saying I want lace, and I would get married in lace. It's not your wedding
The consultant actually listened to both of them and found them a dress at half their budget!? Impressive! The dress looked great both ways but I'm glad they found something that worked for them both.
David must not have been in the store that day!
The dress was 20% of her budget =P the bolero was what cost lol. and tbh... I am floored at the price, dress is fantastic, and GLAD for once they didnt go over budget =D
I'd buy the sparkly belt, too. Bolero for the ceremony,.and "official photos", and dress and belt for reception/party.... Everybody is happy...
This is the first time I saw an episode that the consultant actually pulled out a gown way below the bride’s budget 😅 They do have affordable gowns after all.
Agrred and David Emmanuel probably had heart palpitations when he heard the consultant found a dress that much BELOW the budget.
It's cuz David wasn't around 😂
The tea length dress has less fabric to it, so that helped with it being cheaper. But yes, the consultant did a wonderful job.
My thoughts exactly, I thought they didn't even carry stuff below 1.500!
It sometimes works out that way
“It’s too casual” … I mean, it’s a carnival wedding. It doesn’t get much more casual than that. I’m glad the mom and bride were both happy in the end though! ❤️

Wrong. The mother deliberately doesn't care that it's not HER WEDDING.
@@justinamackenzie9409 She doesn't want her daughter to look silly, and she was right.
Years ago we used to have little sweet jackets called a Bolero. They were beautiful. This was not the Boleros we used to have. Completely different
I do not understand why people, namely mothers, cannot get behind what the bride wants. Imo, she chose it bc of her mom. Still looks pretty but let these young adults make their own decisions.
I agree. I went alone and nobody saw it until my wedding day. I don’t need other opinions.
If you bring your mom to the appointment, you want her opinion. Doesn't mean they will get their way, but I don't think it's fair to call them out for stating their preferences so long as it's respectful (which it was)

The brides Grandmother had left her some money when she passed, so the Grandmother actually paid for the dress.
Exactly

That consultant chose the perfect Bolero to add to that dress!
It gave it wonderful character, so glad the mother loved it too after that addition.
mom was right the lace makes it bridal, for the party she can always take the jacket off, is a win win.
I loved how Zoe was able to make both the bride and the mother happy. She looks lovely and like herself.

Another episode of “You had your day. This is mine”
She’s so lovely. ♥️ Wonder if she bought the belt and wore it without the lace bolero at the reception? Two great looks!
Yes, I agree. She should take the lace off for reception. A little lace veil would set off the bolero.
that would've been a fun compromise!
Or a more narrow belt for a touch of bling
Wonderful job on part of the consultant.
Now all she needs is a fun little hat with a small cage veil, and it would be perfect!
ABSOLUTELY!!! I need to see this!
The mom was right , the dress and the jacket complement her shape and skin tone. Congrats 🎉🎉
It's a fun carnival themed wedding for a young lady.. the dress with the added belt was absolutely beautiful ☺... imo the lace on top made her look older. She chose that to appease her mom but the I think she should've stuck with the dress and belt alone
Love tea dresses! They were both gorgeous! Wish more brides wore them... no tripping over hems and great freedom of movement🙂😘
Yep, and you can wear it again. The one the bride had chosen can be used many times using different accessories and jackets.
As mom comes to the store wearing a lace top. The satin is fabulous as is the belt
I don't even know her Nan but I absolutely think she'd love this dress 🥲🥰
I don't usually like tea length wedding dresses but this really suited the bride. She looks amazing.
Yes, the lace made it more bridal, but it also made it very mature for such a young lady. She did look lovely, however.
Kudos for Zoe on this one!
Found a perfectly beautiful tea dress and a lace bolero, making a two-in-one dress within the budget.
I'm hoping they matched the ivory/champagne lace to the dress. I liked it without, but I'M not getting married, this lovely lady is!!
Mom needs to understand it's her daughter 's day don't make her feel bad for what she likes
Come on Mothers !! Please don t step foward on your daughter s choice of dress. ITS NOT YOU IS GETTING MARRIED !!
Always loved zoe she always understood the assignment and was happy to see david is not here
Perfect dress!!! simply stunning, the lace bolero really made it!!!
Mom was right, this look like an ordinary dress for a once in a lifetime ocassion although it fitted her nicely.
The MIL is going to be trouble, she's very dismissive to the mother of the bride.
Zoe 🔥. Never thought I would be able to see any gowns on the bride's budget on this show. Great job, great dress.
I freaking LOVE Zoe! Why was the dress 1/10th of the cost of other gowns? Is it because it is less fabric? It’s not THAT much less! Plus for the super short brides (like me) this might be a very budget friendly option that looks like a full length gown!
Katie I hope your day is just magical!
Zoe, the consultant, looks so cute...like she jumped out of a fictional TV Show.
Yep. I’d buy the belt too. That way I could ditch the bolero jacket at the reception, and add the belt.
Very sweet episode so happy her mom was so happy for her daughter.
I bet it would've looked even better with petticoats
Think zoey got fired when David returned to a disastrous sale of a cheap dress 😂
Ummm...The dress was in the shop, and it was priced as it was. And David is not the owner of the store. And the owner, Christine Lando, will be happy that she got a sale rather than not. So whatever you were thinking, you were way off.
It was a joke, luv.. calm down.
Brides should stop taking their moms when they know they’ll be outspoken.
This bride is adorable!
Love the tea length dress!
This condultant is a genius, finally a beautiful dress for way less than the budget!!
Another episode of "this is not your wedding" and doesn't matter if mom was right, what matter is that the bride doesn't like lace, so if she is wearing lace is because her mom pushed to her.

While I do like the lace jacket over the dress the point is that mothers need to remember it is not their day and they are not the one wearing the dress.
Add the bolero for the ceremony and the belt for the reception. Two totally different looks.
Some Mother-of-the-bride should JUST remember it is the bride's day, NOT hers.
If the bride doesn't like lace then mum should stay silent & not push her wish when mum already been the bride.
The mom was right, though. The second dress was basically a prom or bridesmaid’s dress. I like tea length, I like structured satin, but the two combined didn’t look bridal enough to me

The mother was overbearing BUT she had a point - the dress by itself was underwhelming and too casual for a big wedding.
what did the mom saying at 4:38 that got the consultant eye rolling? the solution was perfect

I like Zoe. They're wise to have Emmanuel in a voice over. Doesn't seem quite so smug.
Mum wasn't kidding, she was wearing lace to the shop..
Mom was right! The dress is gorgeous
This bride is beautiful in her dress.
I can't believe the bolero
costs more than the dress. But it completes the dress.
The dress was very cheap for a reason. More like a bridal party dress and not a wedding dress.
I totally agree with you there👍
I agree but the main thing is the bride was happy and it suited her wedding theme and budget.
A lot of bridal shops offer not just wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses but prom and evening wear as well. It looked more like a special occasion dress but like you mentioned not a wedding dress.
The dress could be dyed and be practical for so many occasions.

Well DUH! LOL

Whoa, first time I saw a mum in tears because she Didn’t like the dress.
I didn’t see that ??
Liked it better without the lace bolero
Leave your old fashion at your era mum,this is her day,
??? Lace is very in fashion for bridal gowns. Even as wedding decoration.
Hey mom needs to be disinvited. Smh. Bye.
Happily, I managed to stave off various female relatives and went shopping for a wedding dress on my own, since it was all my decision and none of theirs. They were somewhat surprised when I decided upon a knee-length very minimal 1920's style - which suited me, and ultimately, they liked.
... or faked to like...
thanks
Have to say I didn't like anything about any of the short ones . They didn't say wedding to me.
El vestido se veía más elegante con el cinturón y chaleco de encaje se vio menos formal pero es precioso el vestido
The Tea length dress makes her look VERY short.
No harm to Veronica the Mum, but I’d not be taking any fashion advice from her😅
Yeah like you know alot about fashion...not🤣🤣🤣
I would have choosen a more fun t lenghth dress for her. Shure with a fairground venue
Mom wants a gorgeous white dress but doesn’t she now she is not allowed to wear a white dress at her daughters wedding.
The bride looked lovely, I liked her dress. 😀
What a beautiful wedding dress & a great price!
Funny the mother is wearing lace - so therefore the bride should? How selfish.
If she buys the belt then she can kind of have two dresses: one for the reception and one for the main ceremony.
"Tea length" doesn’t fall just below the knee, but just above the ankles.
At that low price, maybe she could have bought the belt as well and swapped the lace jacket for the belt for the reception. I thought the dress looked great on her.
This "coat" made the dress look cheaper and less elegant. Yes, it was elegant because of its simplicity, now there is just too much going on. With it, the bride looks less slim as well
£190 ? think they missed some 0’s on that no way would they actually sell a cheap dress
Perhaps indeed it was meant to be a prom dress. It has the right price for that.
I thought the lace overlay made her work older, but it’s her choice and I hope her day is a wonderful one!
"She can't get married in that" seriously? I would have bought it on the spot!
On an unrelated note, I feel sorry for the MOB as she obviously has a bad skin condition. My best guess is rosacea, which I also have, but mine isn't near as bad.

Yes, mum...we can see you love lace 🙄
Why did the sales associate curtesy to this girl ?
She looked lovely,simple and elegant without the lace..I feel the lace cheapened it.
She looked like a guest on someone else's wedding without the lace. The lace enhanced it.
It looks like a £190.00 dress.
