Offering to pay for a wedding dress is an extremely generous gesture, but to then say you won't pay if you don't like it is pure manipulation.
I don’t know. I know moms, been one for 35 years. Mom looks like nothing would hold her down, and I bet if she works outside the home, then she has a management or supervisory position. This means she had to establish her alpha mom position in the beginning. She had to let the consultants know she was boss, so they better not try to pull anything with her daughter. When she pulled that $25,000 dress, I saw she had as many dreams for her daughter’s wedding as her daughter did.
At 2:27, I was practically jumping through the screen at that manipulative comment. Very similar to one by my mother, over 40 years ago, paraphrased: "Are we paying for your wedding here (100 miles from where I lived) or are you paying for your wedding there (where I and all my friends lived)?" I responded that the wedding would be where I lived - period.
I agree, it’s moved from being about the dress to being about control
It sure is. Grrrr
yep - a thug
It never ceases to amaze me how the most tasteless dresses are the most expensive.
Uh the most beautiful dresses are the most expensive and beautiful. You have no taste. Sad.
To make people want it. Some people evaluated the dresses by the price. If it's bizarre but expensive, people will feel they have an exquisite taste
Absolutely
Got that right!!
The emperor's new clothes 🥴
The bride looked stunning. The dress, headpiece and veil really suited her. Mum locked herself into paying much more than expected and serve her right!! She agreed to it. The whole appointment was being spoilt by the family’s attitude. Wishing the bride a long and happy marriage. 💕
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Mom picked out the overpriced dress and promised the dress. She will learn that one has to look at the price tag before saying yes.
With the bride's selfish spolied narcissistic attitude I don't see that marriage lasting. Her husband will eventually see her beauty is only skin deep.
@@betha.6279 Hopefully she grows up and he is someone who is strong enough to keep her grounded,like she said.
You do know this is all just a bunch of hyped up lies, yes? There are all kinds of documenting videos and articles written all over the Internet showing that "reality" tv is anything but reality. The bridal shows are the biggest lies of them all, with the house-type shows being the tight second.
In other words, don't believe what you see online; nothing is what it seems, and everything is manipulated to increase viewer angst and to increase ratings (they apparently succeed because more people get all uptight about these stupid shows than any other. Gullible viewers seem to love all the soap opera drama!)
Randy often brings the REALITY of the money situation....
i keep waiting for him to tell someone they've got pnina tornai taste on a stella york budget lol
Honestly though I prefer Randy's designs over Pnina's . Her dresses r over priced n not that amazing. Very rarely hv i liked any of her dresses. Randy's designs are very beautiful , magical whimsical.. ❤️❤️❤️
They require any bride on. The show to try at least Pnina Tornai dress. As for Randy, I am absolutely sick of him. The consultants used take care off the brides on their own mor e, and I enjoyed that
The platinum bridal assistant is just so classy and cool. Love her look..
Randy always beautifully respectful..
Australia ❤️
Yeah she so beautiful just spoiled if it was my grand daughter I would get her what she wants
@@silverwishes6000
I love that look..
Myself, my daughters and grandson all have that "nordic" look.
This lass keeps it simple but there is magic about her..
Take care..
Australia ❤️
But.. she doesn't tend to find what Brides are looking for..
@@rainbowbgood
I am not interested in your negative comment.
Stick to the point.
I admire this woman's look..I love her style.
Whether she finds the brides ideal gown is not what I am remarking on.
However I am sure this bridal assistant does her best in her job..
Australia
She really is! Giving Marilyn Monroe vibes. Gorgeous.
I don't like the last dress she chose. It didn't suit her as the first two dresses
As if your opinion matters😂
She didn't wear that dress. She got a mermaid and it was stunning on her. I'm glad she ditched that hideous ball gown. Her dress was similar to number 2.
@@Scandalous_behavior loser
@@Anna-Rose- yeah
@@Anna-Rose- how did you know
I spent almost $2,200 on my daughter's wedding gown and I was sweating bullets at that price. I can't imagine spending over $8,300 on a dress!!
I live in turkey and im mind blown at how everyone is buying their dresses and how much they r payin for it! We rent it here and even if u buy the most beautiful dress it’ll be 800$
I live in México, so imagine me, with my dress of 800 dlls, incluiding everything and it was made in a good wedding dress boutique, with a good price.
I'm betting that the mother told her she can't have the dress after the camera's stopped rolling. Cos you can tell she was trying to back down with that "it's nice" comment
@@starmstrong - You have a nice mother. Be thankful.
@@starmstrongcongrats...?
I love how the only one claiming to be spoiled rotten is the sweetest one of the bunch.
Spoiled with money
@@gracehamilton7510 And how is that a bad thing? I want to be spoiled with money! Sign me up, girl!
Her mom told her she was spoiled rotten brat for having opinions different from her mom's.
If you want to pay for a bride’s dress that YOU love, wait for her to find her dress and THEN surprise her by paying for it. Telling her before and then making her pick what you want is ridiculous.🙄
I don’t think this bride could look bad in anything! She just has to pick what she likes.
I hate how they undermine her confidence in her own opinions. The dresses look great on her. Love Elly!
mom looked real cagey at the end there. $8K for a dress is no joke. I wouldn’t be shocked if she later changed her mind.
Saw in other comments that she did change her mind and wore a fishtail instead. Or maybe the mother backed out but could not do so in front of the camera because of pride.
And 8k is just the start, because it doesn’t count underpinnings, accessories, and alterations. An 8k dress could be 10k.
From what the daughter said as well as that impulsive offer I get the feeling mum might be in some serious debt and that this kind of financial decision making is very on brand for her
The daughter even said that her mom getting to the register, then being surprised by the price is "typical"....It must have been embarrassing for her to grow up with a parent like this...😢
"we need a wow budget, mom."
"i'm taking collections!" DAMN mama SNAPPED lol
I’m so glad randy put her on the spot about paying 🤣
She's picked another dress to get married in. Looked similar to dress #2. Very pretty!!
Hope mom didn’t pay for that dress because Wyquasia did not wear it! Saw a pic of her wedding on Instagram and she wore a fishtail style after all!
Whatt 😅
Thank god lol looked wayyyy better
Seriously?!? How did you find that, please share. 🌿
I'm sure it's because mom backed out of paying for it. You could see she wasn't happy when her daughter actually loved it because it meant she'd have to pay for it.
perhaps she paid the deposit and then changed her mind when the cameras were gone and there was less pressure
Everybody that I see commenting is making it seem like the bride is in a wrong but everything the bride picked out was between 1500 and 3000. The mom and everybody wasn’t being considerate to let the brides opinion matter. It was her day, and I will be damned if I let somebody run my important day and take control over it.
Then why bring a bunch of people
@@lindacalderon6417 the same reason why you would want your family there too. Family is there for moral support.
Wow, did mom seriously just say she won’t pay if she doesn’t basically pick out the dress she wants her to wear??!! 😡
Real love accepts and doesn't try to control.
That is why she should have paid herself.
Well, that's her matter..why you so angry tho?💀
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj That’s why you immediately cancel those type of narcissist parents or anyone else out of your wedding once they do
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj The brides need to be a little bit meaner and ruder and put all the dresses back and walk out and go alone period
That white lace against her skin tone was BEAUTIFUL
I cannot believe that there are so many parents who won’t allow their daughter to have the dress she wants!! My daughter is well past her wedding and I did like her dress but, unless there was something drastically wrong with it, which would be to her detriment, I would never make her change a dress which she loves and has set her heart on! Even if it had been me paying for it.
Well news flash . If mom doesn’t have the money how is she going to get it ? I refuse to have my mother struggling trying to pay off my wedding dress . Mom can pay a part, she can help contribute as well as her future husband . 8K isn’t $8 .
When it comes to wedding dresses, most times we think we know what we want, but we should be open minded and try on different styles, because we will shock ourselves as to how much we love what we didn't think of.
So true
It's sooooo true... My wedding dress is the complete opposite of what I think I would wear... 😅
Last year when I bought it - I wanted a form fitted dress with a lots of flowers and stuff on it... And a closed back, that I can wear a bra in it... And I got a light princess with satin optic and an open back... I couldn't wear a bra but I'm totally fine with it - I love it. Totally clean, minimalistic and not playing on the dress....
(Sorry for my English it's not so good... I'm from Germany.😅)
Oh no, that dress is far away from class, of course it's pnina torney
The entourage were actually really supportive, just in a tough love kind of way as they knew she could find better. Frankly I don’t care how much someone spends on a dress as long as the person pushing for the budget to be raised is the one comfortable with paying that price or the difference. Her mum was happy in this case so I’m supportive of the entourage! I also think they really know what suits the bride
I swear i just saw that same dress in another episode n like it was agoy af on another bride too loll so they were tryn to sell it lol 😂
My mom paid for my education, much rather that than a dress. That dress is more than 1 years tuition in Canada.
@@latulip100 I would prefer that too for myself and my parents financially but I don’t know their situation and education may already have been paid for. I’m happy for them to pay for a dress whatever they’re happy to pay
@@katie2295 If you have the money sure did not mean to criticize your opinion. These dresses are art. Maybe I’m a bitter spinster but I’m happy with my choices. I prioritized my education and career with my parents support and my god am I happy.
@@latulip100 I fully understand what you’re saying 😊
$5000 over budget ?!? Outrageous !
What the heck was mom thinking?! You would think you would check the price tag before giving it to the bride to be.
@@JenniRubenking they didnt actually buy it.
wow the dress mom chose for 24,000 was gorgeous
Nightmare. This is an example of when things go off the rails and then down the cliff.
The generous offer to pay for a bride's gown should NOT come with a disclaimer that states, "Only if I like it."
My mother-in-law once offered to buy me some clothes but when she said that if she was paying I'd have to take what SHE wanted, I put everything back and thank her for the offer but not thanks. She immediately relented and told me to get what I wanted.
Exactly! Buy your own damn clothes if you want me to pick out something you like😂 I’ll buy the ones I like on my own instead thank you very much!!
They're not opiniated they're just plain rude!!
The bride looked stunning in all of the gowns. I wish her and the groom, much happiness. However, this show always reminds me why I am always ready to pay for things I really want myself.
Amen to that last part especially😭
She didn't wear this dress. Saw her Instagram. She wore a tight mermaid style.
The skin of the first bride against the dresses is just mesmerizing. Such beautiful chocolate skin, she's gorgeous
Well mom, $8,300 is MUCH cheaper than $24,000!! And you said ‘If she LOVES it, she will buy it!!” I really did like the second dress on Quasia. It seemed to fit her personally much better than the ballgown!! 💕💕💕 And she did have a GORGEOUS shape to wear that dress!!
ALWAYS pay for your own stuff to avoid controlling people like the mom
In 20 years, they're going to look back at this dress like we look at 1980s poof fest dresses, with scorn. This lingerie as wedding dresses phase needs to die.
Pls let's ask pnina to stop designing dresses like that.. 😂😂 i hv never liked her designs..
People that offer to pay for the dress and then proceed to major manipulation is really pitiful.
That dress is nót worth $ 8400. Why is every expensive dress they have looking so cheap? Or is this one of Pnina’s dresses, because they usually look gaudy.
I would never do this to my daughter. It’s HER day. Not mine.
This bride will look beautiful in anything. She's gorgeous.
Too bad about her name...
I used to pick out my daughter’s clothing, and I knew what she loved. I didn’t shop for what I loved. She chose her wedding dress, and I LOVED IT.
Actually looking at these gowns on many of these shows, they're very much like what burlesque strippers used before they took it off down to their G-string's and pasties. 😂
Agree.
It would look even more stunning if it was lined. I’m assuming she’s not getting married in a church?
She ended up not wearing that dress…
Are you serious?
@@jadetaylor2443yes she got a dress that similar to dress #2
This is why i want to pay for my own dress.😂
They need to look at the prices before you get the dress😂😂😂
Yep, it is plain common sense. If you have a specific budget, look at the price first and find gowns in that price range and select from them.
BRIDES-TO-BE, listen 👂 carefully…do your own research EARLY! And most importantly, TRY TO SAVE UP FOR YOUR DRESS! This mom was sooo eager to pick out “The One” that she thought would be her daughter’s Wedding Dress that she didn’t even LOOK 👀 at the PRICE TAG 🙄🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️!
I'm currently in a relationship been with my boyfriend for a year before I got my man I fell in love with a randy fenoli dress called Anastasia when I first saw it online it was 3,900 now it's about a little over 4 grand i am determined to have that as my future wedding dress and will be saving up I'm just hoping the dress is still in by the Time I get engaged
@@nikkijones5648 Very Good Nikki! That’s how you do it💕! CONGRATULATIONS 🍾
I always wonder where these wedding dress shoppers get the extra money over their budgets or even where the money is coming from when they go with a 5 figure gown or more. $5,000 or $8,500 is a big hit on a person's retirement savings. The daughter better be ready to support her mother in her not-to-distant golden years.
Pull it from other budgets like decor, venue, food, or entertainment.
Or put it on a credit card.
From the weddings I've been to, I remember the food more. You know, nice sit down meal, good buffet with a great mix of food. I remember the church or registry office where the ceremony was held. I remember the people who were there. The friends or family I talked to. I don't remember much about the bloody dresses! Unless they were really unusual. The dresses I remember were mine (I made it), the navy one, and the pink one. Saying that, the pink one was last month, so that's a given.
One of my older cousins had a big fancy wedding with a fancy dress.
My aunt set aside for my cousin wedding for years. The reason when she got married in her parents home in a simple white dress with a meal and cake prepared by her mother. She wanted more for her daughter.
@@tamarajohnson5771 My mother whose father was a minister, had a church wedding with a simple reception in the fellowship hall; her mother made her dress (she was a seamstress) . When I married, she wanted the same thing for me and more with all the attendant invitations, gifts, dress, bridesmaids and dresses, bridal party, cake, flowers, thank you notes, etc. I made my own dress and the maids made theirs. It was way, way stressful for everyone. I would have preferred your aunt's experience. An acquaintance of mine a few years later invited me to her "wedding" at her parent's home with only 10 guests; I just loved it.
I bet u anything they put her on a payment plan and she hasn't paid it in full yet ... U could tell she had no confidence in the herself after randy gave her a taste of reality. She was just too prideful to show it on camera.
The bride ended up with a different dress at her actual wedding so I'm sure the mother backed out of paying when it came right down to it.
@@hotrod66ify omg really??
@@JodiLeaSnakeQueen She ended up wearing a mermaid gown like she initially wanted after all 😂
Mother is very rude. Return to the rack! Wow 😳
Ridiculous to spend $10k (with tax and headpiece) for a dress that is worn for a few hours.
I hate mom's that throw the "IM PAYING, SO U GET WHAT I LIKE!!" Shame on that emotional blackmail!!
Am I the only one that didn't like that dress? In the end, the bride didn't wear it which is an affirmation it was not a good choice. The second dress was the best and suited her better. The last dress looks like the bride is wearing a skirt and bra. So no.
You are not the only one. The bride? GORGEOUS. The dress? HIDEOUS.
Her wedding dress costs $8200 plus veil, head piece etc. etc. her mother will be paying $9000-$10000 that’s way too much for her poor Mother to pay
But, how do you know het Mom is poor? Some Moms & Dads knowing that someday their beautiful daughter will get married, begin saving for both the Wedding gown & the Wedding. Often, relatives like Grandparents are more than excited to foot part of the Wedding dress bill, and sometimes all of it, as it is very meaningful to them. Something that important is usually not bought on a whim, especially at Kleinfeld's😊👰♀️
Don’t do a poor mother on this one. The “poor mother” insisted on an over budget dress. The “poor mother” didn’t like any of the in budget dresses that her daughter liked. The “poor mother” picked this actual dress and also one that cost 24 k. This is all “poor mother’s” doing.
Randy Fenoli looks completely beautiful with a purple flowery type vibe.
Oh hush. She could obviously afford it since she wanted her daughter to wear it so bad.
@@eringemini7091 it’s an expression…that doesn’t mean she’s actually poor 🙄🤦🏽♀️
She looked fantastic in every dress!!
Not the entourage fighting over who said "put on a ball gown"
Lol
The mom sounds selfish. How can you say that " if I don't like the dress, I'm not paying for it"?. Like it's your daughter's wedding day. Not yours
They could have easily looked for a less expensive dress that had some of the elements they liked. Making this expensive dress the choice point and not encouraging continuing to look was poor judgement from a customer service perspective.
The family isn't taking into account how the bride-to-be feels 😖
she would’ve looked beautiful with a mermaid style dress , crazy how the most expensive dresses be the worst ones
Yet another episode of "It's not your f***ing wedding!"
I’m shocked they chose that dress!😩
Agree
She didn’t end up wearing that dress on her wedding day, chose a fishtail instead. Probably cause the mom refused to pay for the dress.
@@darshkaur5684 yeah I saw, honestly the fishtail looked better anyways
I don’t think she actually liked the Tornai gown.
She looked better in the other dresses.
Wow! I think that this is the first episode of SYTTD where a mother has willingly more than doubled the bride’s budget! She looked stunning and I wish her fiancé and her all the best. 💗
well i hate to break it to you but she didn’t end up wearing this dress. i heard she wore a fishtail like she wanted and it wasn’t her mother who paid for it.
I am stunned by the staff reaction to aggressive parents or those who said nasty things about the dress
I don’t get it (no, not the $$$$$). What is with the underwear look?
That's Pnina. Slutty from go.
@@angelbulldog4934 I’m surprised Randy has his blue dress (everyone knows which one I’m talking about) that, without the lining, looks like two big blue boobs.
@@HeronCoyote1234 Other than that, it was a beautiful dress. The color was stunning!
@@angelbulldog4934 I agree.
5:15 “I knew I had expensive taste but I didn’t know it was THAT expensive” 😂😂
In the American South where I live, we would call her a dime store millionaire.
The bride looked gorgeous. I’m glad her mom honored what she said and paid for the dress.
I like the dress, but I wish it had some sort of panel to make it not look so trashy. Maybe a panel with slightly different color than the outside fabric.
But I like the silhouette better than the mermaid. I personally hate mermaids with the straight seam across the bottom.
I don't like the dress at all, it's too much of everything, typical pnina dress
$LUT $UIT
I hate mermaids
8300. Not including tax. Not including alterations. Which 12 years ago was 500
Veils are very high too. We saw them at 2000
Crowns cost hundreds.
People need to understand what they really afford.
I guessed instantly that the ballgown was P'nina Tornai. I know you're all shocked. Also: I think you really have to be there to see, in person, the quality of each dress. Maybe the Tornai gown would wow me if I saw it in person, and the other dresses would not look as good quality. Whatever, Quasia has a cute figure and looked great in everything.
when they let the entourage pull dresses you know they're going to come with a bunch of overpriced pnina dresses because pnina is ALL they have on display out there. all the lower-budget gowns are in the store room in the back. if they had just let the consultant do her job they could have told her "find a ballgown with lace & bling for under $3500" and she could've done it. randy himself has designed a dress extremely similar that's well under budget.
It was obviously Pnina Tornai when I saw it so I was not shocked to recognize the signature style of Tornai which I actually don't like at all. I prefer a more classic look.
@@whatevergoesforme5129 The popularity of Tornai's "looks like a corset" top is a mystery to me. Some of Pnina's gowns, like this one, show more skin than a lot of actual corsets do!
because it was really tacky?
@@whatevergoesforme5129 it is the see through with boning corset that is PT. Personally I don’t care for PT gowns, and I didn’t like this one
O my, Mom is going to be paying for that dress for a long, long time..
I don't understand why the mother had the idea that just because she is paying for the dress that she gets to choose it. The Penina is a beautiful dress but I feel like she was manipulated into it by all the harsh comments she got while in the mermaid style.
I agree. I love corset dresses so the last dress looks stunning to me, but it makes me sad that they were bashing the mermaid dresses she looked so confident in. I do think it's reasonable to encourage her to try other styles because you never know, but they gotta acknowledge that even when they say "it's not you", it's still based on their opinions.
Edit to add: also this is why I wanna work hard to buy things for myself. I don't wanna be taunted with the "I'm paying so I'll only get it if I like it, your opinions don't matter."
Moms acting surprised when the cousin says it’s her daughter’s wedding. Woman, you had your time. It’s your daughter’s wedding. You agreed to pay you should respect her choices. I don’t think she loves this gown. She looks like a cupcake. And mom got cold feet. Ridiculous 🤦🏻♀️
I’m so grateful for my mom.
100% sure that after all cameras were off this family refused to by 8300 dress. They just can't afford that kind of purchase, obviously.
They made it all about themselves instead of the actual bride.
What a beautiful bride. I wish her all the best. Plus, she knew Mom would up the budget if Mom liked it too. She said so in the beginning.
When I saw her in that headpiece I wanted to cry, so beautiful!
Every Dress Looked Beautiful On Her...Congratulations On Your Wedding WyQuasia...Many Blessings To You
They have to be prepared! I just googled pricing and SYTTD and found out a lot of interesting tidbits. What I thought was fake is most definitely NOT.
i can't imagine going to a place like kleinfeld's and not checking their website beforehand to narrow down what i'm actually willing to try on or buy.
The dress she said "Yes" to is more suitable for a bordello. Crass and tasteless.
The first dress looked best on her.
The bride is gorgeous. She looked amazing in every dress she tried on.
I love the way the bride loves her body. Bravo to that!!
Randy: "We started out at 3,000 snd ended up at 8 thousand. We're all paying for it right?"
Me: "Valid question indeed Randy. Good thinking."
Mom: "She's paying for it."
Me: *channeling my inner black woman* "OH HELL NO!" UH UH!"
i was about ready to come through the computer and start a wedding store brawl! They should've kicked the mama out of the store right then and there!
And btw narrator that is NOT a wedding dress! That's more like a fancy negligee!
but you're not a black woman tf are you saying rn. Delete that nonsense
I loved the 2nd dress it was beautiful I liked the first one too, the top of both were nice. The 2nd dress looked great on her, so did the first the mermaid shape is great on her.
The dress would be even more stunning if the tummy part was lined and not see through
always should check piece tags 1st before bringing any dress in
It makes no sense that in a store with over 30k dresses, every bride who tries on 2 dresses feels they can't find anything they like.
The first dress was better than the last. No way they went with that hideous see thru! Plus way too expensive for it what it looks
I am still reeling at the bride's name, not to mention the price of that dress or the attitude of the mom. I am not one to be manipulated, so I will pay for things myself. Thank you very much.
While reeling google it then reel
Full on manipulation.... Shame on them. This is HER day... Man i would have put my clothes on and left them sitting there. Nasty people...
I don’t think she purchased the dress in actuality. When you search the bride you see she is in fit and flare, mermaid type dress. I guess price mattered when the cameras went off.
Looks like this is supposed to be under the wedding dress.
Sleepy and cheap looking!
Perfectly said 💛🙂
she knew exactly what she wanted, and walked out with what everyone else wanted
Looks more for the wedding night not the church.
How can people confuse these two things?? Save the sexy for the wedding night.
I guess those of us who dress appropriately and are actually ladies have gone a completely out of style. So be it. I won't change.
"I'm taking collections"... 🤣 I like mom
Why? She’s literally so manipulative, in a bad way. She offered to pay, that’s a stupid joke to make, anyway.
@@yourmother2425 No, the guy said "We need a WOW budget, MOM..." implying that 3500 dollars is not enough for a wedding dress, I mean anyone would be defensive. If you wanna up the budget u better pay for it. Even so, she managed to make a joke about it, what a queen. And later she picked a way more expensive dress she didn't say anything and still paid for her daughter's wedding dress as a loving mother.
That mother is a nightmare.
She looks absolutely Stunning 😍
The way the consultant ALWAYS ignores if the mum or the family or even the person along with the bride who's paying for the dress specifies a certain thing they'd rather wasn't in the dress and then ONLY shows dresses of that type...makes me feel someone should play reverse psychology with these wedding shops. Specify all the stuff u want only pretend u don't want it and then voila! you'll get the exact dress u want 😂😂
These bridal consultant's always pick out the perfect tiara and veil. It always looks so beautiful I wish sometime they would talk about how they do it..
The entourage opinions for me spoiled the appointment. The dress she got was beautiful on her.
She didn't end up wearing it, she chose something similar to number 2
OMG WHAT
I think the bride just fell in love with the dress when she realized it was way over budget but Mom was going to pay anyway. Her eyes grew large with status.
