What is that mother's problem? She's paying what she's willing to pay and her grown daughter (with her own money) is willing to put in HER money to buy something she wants. The mother needs to support her daughter.
to be fair, wedding dresses are ridiculously marked up and there are cheaper options to get one than going to a high end designer store and having it handmade. She probably wants her daughter to have the money for her honeymoon, other wedding expenses or something else in their life. They own a milkshake store with seasonal business and she's having a wedding at a high end venue. Sounds a bit like a stretch
I disagree. I think the consultant wanted to shut the mom up about trying to keep the budget at £500. She showed her the dress that is on sale and has lower quality and does t even look good. She wanted her to stop talking about the budget and allow her daughter to drive the appointment. That is often why the consultant puts the bride in the mom's choice first. Get her out of the way, then the bride can try on what she wants. It is part of the overall plan to keep the energy on the bride.
@@catladyfromky4142 Then let's agree to disagree. I think you are giving the consultant too much credit. She made two mistakes. The bride should have been shown the dress before anyone else. Then the consultant showed the bride a gown that was much more expensive than her budget.
That’s what I did with my girls and it worked out great. One daughter chose to not spend another penny on her dress than what I contributed, the other spent about three times as much but sincerely appreciated what help I gave, which is the attitude I feel this bride had.
The mother didn't want to pay 500, I think? Because if the daughter puts her money then her mother would have to pay 500. And if the daughter bought something for 500 then mum wouldn't have had to pay that 500 at all.
Why is the consultant showing things to mum first . Its not her wedding . Her daughters happiness should be priority number one for her wedding day . selfish mum
i only spent $125 on my dress and it was identical to one i saw in a salon for $900. there's whole chains of bridal stores here that have dresses for $100, hell there are charity shops in the UK that are selling VINTAGE designer wedding gowns for £60. the places on this show are just absurdly overpriced.
What a nasty mom. Clearly she cares nothing about her daughter's feelings or how she looks. The cost of that dress is not outrageous. All she cares about is getting something cheap she can brag about. 😢
It is possible to do easily but just don't go to a high end store. Given their professions and the wedding venue, sounds like a champagne wedding is been planned when they have a beer budget and the mother is probably concerned
If the priority was a low budget, they shouldn't be shopping at this store nor on SYTTD at all - which is about designer/couture dresses. Instead, go to a "regular" bridal shop with off-the-rack gowns or, better yet, try discount bridal stores (such as David's Bridal in the U.S.), thrift stores, consignment stores, online (but be careful) or even consider renting a gown.
Her attitude was less than great, but the ethic of not overspending is smart. A wedding gown will be worn for a few hours on a single day. I absolutely cannot understand brides/entourages who are all about "being unique" or "the wow factor." When I shopped for my gown, there was no concept of this or "the feeling." I found a dress that I liked - period.
@BasicYTHandle I totally agree. That "wow" factor is, to me, something that sounds better than it really is. No one remembers the bride's dress even a week after the wedding. To overspend so that your dress can be impressive for such a minimum amount of time is ridiculous. The reality is that no one will care what the bride's wedding dress looks like other than the bride herself. Even the groom doesn't care if there's enough sparkle. For me, I want to get the silhouette right. I want it to be comfortable. And I want to like looking at it in pictures for the rest of my life. That is all.
People always complain about brides only liking a dress because it’s expensive. I personally think it’s worse when you only like a dress because it’s cheap. Just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean it’s good, or the best option. The cheapest option is usually the worst option. Cheap or Good. Pick one.
Why does Mum care about the price? She's given her contribution and the daughter is a business woman who can afford the rest, to match the expensive venue!
I can see looking at sale stock pieces to start and then the regular instock gowns. But the only way the mom would find a $500 dress is to go shop in a vintage bridal store or rent a dress.
Mum has a bad attitude and is being a cheapskate and total downer, but the consultant was also being unfair by showing the bride dresses over-budget. I'm glad the in-laws seem kinda and least.
I’m disliking her mom, she’s rediculously cheap and she’s embarrassing. Poor bride, glad she over ris her mom. My husband and I paid for our whole wedding ourselves, it was small, but we had 2 receptions & it was lovely ❤❤
Mom is awful. £1700 is not that bad!!! If you watch Say Yes to the Dress, they rarely even have anything under $2000!! Maybe a leftover in the back room like that £500 dress. I bought a cream tea-length dress at a Dept store for sbout $100 when I got married!!!! 😂😂😂
In a way, I agree with you. It is not the mom's choice in what the bride pays for. But, like you wrote about your cheap dress being appropriate for you and good enough for a wedding, the mom was trying to keep the bride from breaking the bank when it doesn't have to.
I think the mother should wear an every day dress and humiliate herself at the wedding 👏🏻👏🏻. This is the bride’s day and no mom should even THINK of putting her daughter in a cheap dress! The bride has years of looking at her wedding pictures and hating that $500 dress. Prom dresses can cost $500! By the way, Mom doesn’t look like she’s dressed in rags. That mom better fork out the money NOW!
I think momma needs to go to several shops and realize that there’s a difference between too expensive and the dress looking cheap. Considering w gf at wedding dresses can go for she’s lucky it was under 2 thousand.
Mom wants to be the pretty star. Doesn’t like daughter’s looks and power on the rise as hers fades. Mom is blonde. I’m assuming salon not home. She’s happy to spend that I notice
OMG. You are assuming a lot here. You don't know any of that. What if the mom grew up super poor and wanted the bride to keep the dress cheap so she doesn't have to go into the poor house just for one day. Stop projecting. If that was your family, awesome. But you don't know any of these people. You just embarrass yourself by writing a thesis with diagnoses and back stories. Why don't you just go off an write your own novel instead?
ain't nobody knows about staying in/on budget like i do as i've lived on a choke chain budget alllll my life!!! BUT...IF i'd had a daughter instead of 2 son's, i would've been putting away money like a squirrel hides nuts for the day that i knew would come....further down the road. if she wanted to marry fine, if she wanted college...SOMETHING would've been there for her whatever she wanted to do but that's jus' me....
Was the consultant trying to wield the wooden spoon by showing the bride's mum the cheap dress, and emphasising the price, before the bride even saw it? Manipulative or what???
Ask mom,if she bought quality materials, lace, buttons, etc and spent however-many-hours constructing that beautiful dress, how much would she charge for it? $4000? Bet she likes to GET money.
I don't care for them either. But the consultant probably pulled the cheapest dresses in the whole shop. And both the bride and her mom were thinking about keeping the budget pretty low.
Bargain hunter is one thing, this is a whole nother level. She was more concerned about finding a cheaper dress that she didnt even care that her daughter looked cheap
love how the consultant went from £500 to OVER BUDGET. i would've said "you know what, i'll take the cheap one then. fuck your commission." that expensive dress doesn't even look good on her, she looks pregnant.
actually nevermind, i would have just walked out without buying anything. what a transparent attempt to sell the BRAND NEW dresses instead of finding something similar (and they definitely have a LOT that's similar) that's actually within her budget. could probably find something even better online for less than 500.
Okay, it wasn't just me who thought it was weird to go from very cheap to over budget. That was so bad - like, what if the bride wanted something nice that she could afford and you give her one dress her mom likes and then one she can't pay for....
Admittedly, it'll be ordered in her size and altered to be less tight. BUT: SHAME ON THE CONSULTANT for even pulling a dress so far over the TOP of the budget, ESPECIALLY when she was well aware that budget was a MAJOR FACTOR. There are hundreds of gowns in that shop, among which were certainly many that fit the criteria & were within budget.
I wonder if mum (or mum's family) has had some bad experiences with money. She's trying to keep her girl from making those same "frivolous" mistakes. Poor mum.
They could have compromised and gone to an off the peg bridal store like my daughter did she got a gorgeous full length lacey ballgown type dress with a train for under a thousand pounds and walked away with it that day
Yes, but that doesn’t mean you should sacrifice everything just because something is cheap. The mom only liked that one dress because of the price and nothing else. If the consultant had told her it was expensive, she would’ve hated it.
Not a fan of the dress. She's a gorgeous girl but it gives her a pregnancy look, which she doesn't have otherwise. Noot special enough to pay the extra money for.
What is that mother's problem? She's paying what she's willing to pay and her grown daughter (with her own money) is willing to put in HER money to buy something she wants. The mother needs to support her daughter.
oh i think this was greatly exaggerated for the cameras.
to be fair, wedding dresses are ridiculously marked up and there are cheaper options to get one than going to a high end designer store and having it handmade. She probably wants her daughter to have the money for her honeymoon, other wedding expenses or something else in their life. They own a milkshake store with seasonal business and she's having a wedding at a high end venue. Sounds a bit like a stretch
What a kind, patient daughter. Gladly mother said something nice in the end.
They have no option they all say something nice in the end.🤣🤣🤣
The consultant had no business showing the first dress to the mother, just because it was inexpensive. The bride is the client.
I disagree. I think the consultant wanted to shut the mom up about trying to keep the budget at £500. She showed her the dress that is on sale and has lower quality and does t even look good. She wanted her to stop talking about the budget and allow her daughter to drive the appointment.

That poor mother-in-law is really having to bite her tongue when she looks at mom.
That mother is a DOWNER! Give your 500 and keep a quiet. Your daughter has money to decide the price. Nothing like making your daughter stressed.
That's what I thought! Like, just put in your chunk and hush. She can pay as much as she wants!
That’s what I did with my girls and it worked out great. One daughter chose to not spend another penny on her dress than what I contributed, the other spent about three times as much but sincerely appreciated what help I gave, which is the attitude I feel this bride had.

500 pounds or less, mom isn't frugal but a cheapskate (though 4000+ is insane)

It was never a priority. The mother was just being an unrealistic cheapskate.
That Mom was shameful. Smh

You can absolutely find dresses that cheap or less. These shows are scripted for drama though. It's not real.
I don't understand why mothers can't be supportive.
Why is the mum even looking at the dresses?? She just needs a list of the prices for her to know what she would like for her daughter….
Just buy a pack of white garbage bags and wrap them around her. Cheap and you can reuse the bags after the wedding!!!!! Win!
Mum has a bad attitude and is being a cheapskate and total downer, but the consultant was also being unfair by showing the bride dresses over-budget. I'm glad the in-laws seem kinda and least.
I’m disliking her mom, she’s rediculously cheap and she’s embarrassing. Poor bride, glad she over ris her mom. My husband and I paid for our whole wedding ourselves, it was small, but we had 2 receptions & it was lovely ❤❤
I wonder if mom is so cheap when something is for herself???
How much does the Mum pay to get her own hair done....(regularly)
Why was the mom so focused on the dress being cheap? The bride was paying for most of it. $2000 seems to be average for these shops.
This mother insists that any wedding dress should be ONLY 500 POUNDS/500 DOLLARS?!?! What PLANET is she living on?!?!?!
the mother is an absolute embarrassment..... I don't know if I could be as patient with her as this bride is....
Glad mum came around.
That Mom is going to be a hellish Grandma😅
Mom is awful. £1700 is not that bad!!! If you watch Say Yes to the Dress, they rarely even have anything under $2000!! Maybe a leftover in the back room like that £500 dress. I bought a cream tea-length dress at a Dept store for sbout $100 when I got married!!!! 😂😂😂

People being this cheap is embarrassing, is like they think they don't have to pay their way in the world and get everything for nothing
I think momma needs to go to several shops and realize that there’s a difference between too expensive and the dress looking cheap. Considering w gf at wedding dresses can go for she’s lucky it was under 2 thousand.
Mom would like a lower quality dress no matter what it looked like as long as it fit HER budget. Quality is not important to her 😥
Mom wants to be the pretty star. Doesn’t like daughter’s looks and power on the rise as hers fades. Mom is blonde. I’m assuming salon not home. She’s happy to spend that I notice

They picked a stunning venue.
Did you catch the name? I'm not a native speaker, I couldn't really get the name or the city it's in 😅😅😅 There were no subtitles unfortunately 😅
@@AniRSm The Great Hall At Mains in Lancashire.
Never use the word "cheap"!
Ask mom,if she bought quality materials, lace, buttons, etc and spent however-many-hours constructing that beautiful dress, how much would she charge for it? $4000? Bet she likes to GET money.
The mom needs to go shop at Walmart and see if she can find a cheap wedding dress !!??
What an embarrassment that mother was!
Thumbs down on both dresses.
I don't care for them either. But the consultant probably pulled the cheapest dresses in the whole shop. And both the bride and her mom were thinking about keeping the budget pretty low.
mom has money trauma, or is someone who had to stay home.
Well you do only wear it once. My mother made my wedding dress. It was simple but elegant. Nothing wrong with being a bargain hunter.
Bargain hunter is one thing, this is a whole nother level. She was more concerned about finding a cheaper dress that she didnt even care that her daughter looked cheap
Wonder what mom spent on her dress?
love how the consultant went from £500 to OVER BUDGET. i would've said "you know what, i'll take the cheap one then. fuck your commission." that expensive dress doesn't even look good on her, she looks pregnant.

The 500 budget was the Mom's not the bride's.

I’m sure there will be several fittings so that the dress isn’t tight in the wrong places.
She reminds me of Chelsea Clinton.
Me too.
I wonder if mum (or mum's family) has had some bad experiences with money. She's trying to keep her girl from making those same "frivolous" mistakes. Poor mum.
I wonder if Mom had a wedding dress? Sometimes Mom can be envious of a daughter having something she didn’t have.
Honestly..mum..who's dress? Cheap? The first one looked common on your daughter. Is that how you see her? Common?
Maybe the mom has had hard times.
They could have compromised and gone to an off the peg bridal store like my daughter did she got a gorgeous full length lacey ballgown type dress with a train for under a thousand pounds and walked away with it that day
😮 ohhh mother !!
Did the Consultant NOT hear1500 pounds??
Nothing wrong with being a bargain hunter, but there is a time and a place. Also, don't keep bringing it up over and over again.
I agree. But I feel like the bride is used to her mom's behavior, and she let all that wash over her enough so she could focus on choosing her dress.
The mum is smart. She’s trying to keep things real.
Omg mum get rid of that red!! Either all over red or go back to your natural colour 😮.
I agree with mum money in the bank is always number 1
Yes, but that doesn’t mean you should sacrifice everything just because something is cheap. The mom only liked that one dress because of the price and nothing else. If the consultant had told her it was expensive, she would’ve hated it.
The daughter has money
Not a fan of the dress. She's a gorgeous girl but it gives her a pregnancy look, which she doesn't have otherwise. Noot special enough to pay the extra money for.
That Dando dress again!
I get so tired of seein the Dando London dress
mom lost her one happy bridal day.
