Interesting how her entourage was cheering when she first came out in the dress she bought with her mom, then immediately changed their tune when they found out it was her mom's pick.
I don’t think they were being agreeable with that first dress - they thought it was perfect till they learned that she and her Mom picked it up- then they went off the rails saying how bad it was! I feel very sorry for the Mom!
Don't you just love how her friends act like its no big deal that she is spending 1500 over her budget. Don't worry about the money. Like she is rich or something. Personally I thought her whole entourage was rude
And they’re all on the older side too, all of them look like they’re 50 plus here. That makes it even worse…they’re no longer in their 20s. They all should’ve known better.
You don´t understand, her friends are going to help pay for the dress. It costs 5600. Her parents will probably pay 3500, so we have to divide 2100 with the number of people there, including the bride. It will be 420 each. That is manageable.
When she came out in the first dress they all said it was so pretty until they found out it was the dress she picked out with her mom, then all of a sudden it wasn't a good dress.
that's why a bride has to be careful about who she brings with to the appiontment. If the others want to be part of the experience, they can go to like the 2nd fitting or whatever and go "ooh and ahh".
Honestly, the first dress that she picked when Mom was in town.... amazing! And very Grave Kelly, so that dress had all the old Hollywood she was looking for. I didn't get a look at the lace up back, but... Frankly, I predict that on her wedding day, she changes her mind again and switches back to the original dress!
"when you love something, you can always stretch a little bit." NO, MONEY DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY ANTONELLA. i cannot magic more money out of thin air just because i like something expensive.
I don't consider $2100 "a little" stretch. If the "friends" are making up the difference, fine. But if Mom is going to foot the bill for their desire to be on camera at SYTTD, then that's wrong.
People tend to forget the tax added on top of the dress the cost of alterations and you still have to add in shoes, veil headpiece jewelry. That $5100 dress is now bumped up to seven grand at least.
For an "old world Hollywood" style, I did not see anything wrong with the first dress she bought with her mum. It was a beautiful gown that fitted her beautifully tbh. She seemed to be swayed by whoever came with her and their opinions
I thought the $3100 was the most Old Hollywood. It gave me Rita Hayworth vibes. The more expensive dress was just a mermaid wedding dress. The bride also said the one she picked with her mother wasn't appropriate for the venue. Not sure if she meant style or the size of the place. If it's the size, fair enough; it's certainly possible for a dress to overpower a small venue. But if that were the case, you would think the sleeker dress would work better.
I love how Randy told them that they wuld have to cover the cost difference. I feel really bad for her parents. She short changed her mom with the dress she chose wih her. Her entourage should pay for the whole dress and she can the other for her reception.
i don't understand why she thinks the original gown doesn't work in an "old Hollywood glam" look. it was definitely a classic look that could be blinged out a bit more or with jewelry
Personally we need to get rid of this insane notion that this is the most important dress of your life. Your marriage is NOT going to survive based upon a dress
Absolutely. Some of the best and longest marriages came from elopement during the war, courthouse marriages etc. not all those brides spend $$$ on dresses
Absolutely true! I have been married for 15 years, and the wedding is something that I do not even remember anymore, I am just wondering why we spent the money?!
I don’t think she’s going to be happy & I don’t like the $5,600.00 dress, the bottom looked like a balloon. I think the sexy chic satin dress that was $3,100.00 was way more old Hollywood, very Jean Harlow.
Add some sparkle to the straps of the sleek dress and there you have it. Beautiful and in budget. Her entourage, the one woman in particular, was absolutely obnoxious.
I agree. I liked it, and the one she got with her mom the best. The $3,100 dress was so elegant, and seemed perfect for a "Hollywood" wedding. They should have told her entourage that it was more expensive. I bet they'd have liked it then.
@@Gigi0990 she could have added a jeweled belt to please them and say "sorry, this is the one i got i can add the belt for you but I am not getting a different one. If you don't like it then keep it to yourself"
It seemed to me her entourage was more swayed by price than actual gown: if it costs more it must be better mentality. It's obvious she's not really comfortable buying that dress or she would not have had to call them back in to 'discuss'.
I don’t think you should ever try on anything above your price range. There will always be something within your range! You set yourself up for disappointment if you try something above what you want to pay.
I was iffy on the friends and their attitudes till the end, where they said they were going to help her out with the price difference! So even if they're characters, good friends right there lol. I hope she's doing well and happy!
The idea that if you love it, you can make it happen is really not true. Not everyone can afford to go over budget, and I hate the implication that everyone can. She was smart to try to stay in budget. Since her friends wanted her to pay more, I am glad they stepped up to help. Most don't on this show. I also noticed they had a more positive reaction to the dress she and her mom picked until she told them that was the one she was unsure about. I thought it actually looked very nice.
I think that even with a big budget, buying a reasonably priced, yet beautiful dress, and donating the rest of the amount to the needy would bring tears of joy to many more faces that just the groom's. The groom loves the bride irrespective of the dress.
Oh, you're right about that! I haven't gotten that far in but it's like watching a steam roller take over! Who cares if they work in theater? Such delusions of grandeur. I wouldn't spend a NY minute in their company! Where's their off-switch?! I can't...I just can't watch... 😁👎🎭👎
Any time the entourage wants the bride to spend more than her budget, the consultants should turn to the bride and say, 'Oh, what incredible friends you have who are happy to pitch in and cover the price difference!'
@@Seal_pupDoesn’t matter if they paid the difference, the bride and her Mother chose the first dress - period!!! I truly despise all these brides coming in with an entourage of negative people who thunk they know better! You can have a beautiful, memorable wedding without a many thousand dollar dress yiu will never wear again! And with some brides choosing such slinky, sexy, low-cut or whatever dresses, they will be embarrassed in years to come - maybe by their children who see the pictures, or maybe because they choose such a sleazy dress! Weddings are nit the time to be sexy! I have 48 years under my belt in this marriage and I didn’t even have a white dress - but it was appropriate for a small church in 1975!
@@sandybruce9092 Sandy, I simply stated that they paid the difference because the original comment by Sharon said that the friends did not pay the difference. (And yes, in the case of semantics, it matters because it’s false information although it’s not that deep) I have no comment on your opinions.
Hands down, the first dress she picked with her mom was best. It was stunning on her. The final pick was once again decided upon by the entourage. It's all about the money. Kinda sad really. The bride has no back bone. 10 to 1 she had buyers remorse again. This is about as bad as the football bride who let her entourage control her final decision.
Yes, it's a good thing the actor friends decided to help her out. It would have been a shame if they bullied her into buying a dress way over her budget and then her mom and/or she were stuck paying thousands extra.
I always had this feeling they didn’t actually help her because they never said it outright, particularly before the bride was panicking about the price, and it does seem like her friends were bullying her.
She ended up not getting that dress either. Her actual wedding dress was a narrow slip dress, fully beaded, with a train, a rhinestone belt, and a transparent top. It's actually really beautiful, far better then the mom's or the friend's picks. Interesting that none of the three dresses looked anything alike. She clearly had no idea what she wanted. Google her name, Amy Rutberg, and wedding to see the pics.
The reddit post picture? It doesn't seem to be her. Someone commented her name because they look alike, and that's why it indexes. The beauty mark on the chin doesn't match either.
Stick within the budget, her 1st dress she picked earlier is beautiful and stunning on her. For me if someone wants me to go beyond my budget then they should bear the balance.
The entourage disrespected the bride's budget, by a huge margin. Her friends needed to pipe down and let her process/think about her options rather than take a bulldozer approach. Seriously!
My wedding dress ended up on a dead bride scarecrow for Halloween.I used a white pumpkin for her head..She looked really scary. My children loved it.😊😊
It's bad enough that her friends were SO dead set on coercing her to spend way over her preferred budget, but they're so willing to spend her MOTHERS money! Especially after they've already dissed the mom's dress choice. And I can't help but think her mom's already going to be hurt that the dress she had a hand in choosing was eliminated like it was nothing; not just hurt at the friends' words but at Amy being so quick to throw it out! It was a beautiful dress!
Oh wow, she's friends with Julie Halston? I LOVED her character in the sex and the city series and movies! She seems awesome and looks better today 13 years later! Bride now has two kids with her husband and is doing extremely well.
Beautiful first dress was a 'bridal gown.' The 'final' choice may have had the 'old Hollywood' feel, but it did NOT look like a bridal gown! Brides seem to forget the 'wedding' is for a few hours, and THEY should be the focus of attention, NOT what they are wearing! I cannot imagine spending that much money for a single wear item, even a bridal gown. This entire 'wedding industry' is so over-the-top with unnecessary spending, it makes it much more practical to elope and have a big party afterward to celebrate with family and friends. I hope she is happy with her final choice. What a disappointment for her mother!
It extends to everything having a wedding motif, even to the napkins for the reception. Unless you're super rich the napkins aren't going to be fine linen, but plain old paper, but the same napkins for a birthday with Happy Birthday on them will be at most one third the price of napkins that have the word Wedding on them. Same old paper napkins, but a third of the price and more likely a fourth.
@@bunnyslippers191 I SOOO agree! I made my own wedding gown as well as that of my Matron of Honor, decades ago. Both were classic, timeless dresses that could be worn today as neither had flashy embellishments that date a dress within months! It was a church wedding, so decorum was definitely the order of the day. Not flashy, glittery or Hollywood at all! Both were classic, timeless and elegant.
I loved the first dress. The one she was assigned is very pretty too, but I hate when the bride's friends bully her into their choice and completely ignore budgets, etc.
I think it's absolutely ridiculous when the entourage pick dresses that are so far out of the brides budget. This group says they are going to take care of the bride. But many budget breakers don't care if their picks are out of budget because they aren't paying for it.
She needs to pick her dress within budget. Did the mom buy her the other dress too. If the budget was $3500 and this dress is $5600 that’s $2100 over that she expected the mom to say oh sure😳. All she had to do is pay the difference herself but no it wasn’t ok or in her budget to do that so why should she do that to her mom. Her entourage should have immediately said we are paying for the difference. Now it makes you wonder how much they really paying. After all, it was their idea to go over budget 🤷🏻♀️
Why not decorate the venue to suit the dress you already have, instead of spending so much money on another dress for just one day? The first dress she bought was very flattering on her.
I preferred the mom's pick and the under budget dress to the one selected. At the end of the day, it wouldn't matter if a pretty dress didn't meet all requirements. It isn't the most important aspect of the day.
Oof. I feel bad for this bride. The sleek dress was gorgeous and was affordable for her. These “friends” really didn’t seem to have her best interests at heart. Also, when she looks back years later, I don’t think it would have made a difference which dress she got. She looked beautiful in each of them. I got my dress at a thrift store and although I have seen more beautiful gowns, mine made me FEEL amazing, and I’m sure the extremely low price had something to do with it! 😂
The first dress was lovely. In a word, the entourage was so wildly inappropriate. I thought the dress the bride chose was beautiful. People should really learn to respect others. It was clear she wanted to stay within budget.
That dress was not worth breaking her budget over, and if the friends were going to chip in they should have made it abundantly clear instead of being so wishy-washy
The friends want her to overspend her budget, then they should share the excess. You are not a yrue friend if you knowingly give your friend money angst.
Which one of her friends was going to step up and tell her mother that after insulting the dress and mom they talked her into ditching the beautiful and flattering dress she bought with her mom and instead bought a much more expenssive and unflattering blah of a dress so they could be on TV?
If you cant afford it dont buy it. 10 yrs from now you will barely remember the dress. But the money could have been spent more wisely. On your new house!
As a bride who bought one dress then immediately regretted- I get it. I did a big ceremony ballgown and then my original mermaid as the reception dress and it was perfect. Very over the top and me.
My youngest son, at 29 years of age, had a house built. He had a specific budget in mind. Some things he went over budget, some he refused to budge. He had the money, in cash, to go over. I tried telling him that the house was an investment and that he could do certain things. The area of the property was of such that he wouldn’t over capitalise. We had really heated arguments about this. The completed house is beautiful. Fast forward three years and he is really regretting some of his choices. Especially since he had the money. I think that in a situation, if you’re in a position when you can recover the costs, you should spend the money. Life is short and full of, not the things that we have done, but by the things that we regret not doing.

Technically she went over $2100. She originally wanted to spend $3500. But yes Friends should never do that.
The first dress was beautiful. I don’t think her mom deserved to be dissed by her silly entourage.
Not just that, they initially Loved it until they realised it was the rejected one. No balance and objectivity in the group

I cannot imagine spending that much money for a single wear item, even a bridal gown. This entire 'wedding industry' is so over-the-top with unnecessary spending, it makes it much more practical to elope and have a big party afterward to celebrate with family and friends. I hope she is happy with her final choice. What a disappointment for her mother!
It extends to everything having a wedding motif, even to the napkins for the reception. Unless you're super rich the napkins aren't going to be fine linen, but plain old paper, but the same napkins for a birthday with Happy Birthday on them will be at most one third the price of napkins that have the word Wedding on them. Same old paper napkins, but a third of the price and more likely a fourth.
@@bunnyslippers191 I SOOO agree! I made my own wedding gown as well as that of my Matron of Honor, decades ago. Both were classic, timeless dresses that could be worn today as neither had flashy embellishments that date a dress within months! It was a church wedding, so decorum was definitely the order of the day. Not flashy, glittery or Hollywood at all! Both were classic, timeless and elegant.
I loved the first dress. The one she was assigned is very pretty too, but I hate when the bride's friends bully her into their choice and completely ignore budgets, etc.
What great friends to help her out like that. Both dresses were so pretty but the one she got was it!
I think it's absolutely ridiculous when the entourage pick dresses that are so far out of the brides budget. This group says they are going to take care of the bride. But many budget breakers don't care if their picks are out of budget because they aren't paying for it.
I noticed her friends have a lot to say. But no money to put in. Put your money where your mouth is and stop ditching her mom
*dissing
Will the bride's friends be paying for her dress?
That was also my question. Were they going to pay the extra 1500 dollars?
@@maryannhicks7829 Extra $2,600 (not extra $1,500).
@@maryannhicks7829well, they said they'd help
They said so in the video if you watch it til the end.
It was implied but because they never said it outright, particularly before she was panicking about the price, I don’t think they ever did.
She needs to pick her dress within budget. Did the mom buy her the other dress too. If the budget was $3500 and this dress is $5600 that’s $2100 over that she expected the mom to say oh sure😳. All she had to do is pay the difference herself but no it wasn’t ok or in her budget to do that so why should she do that to her mom. Her entourage should have immediately said we are paying for the difference. Now it makes you wonder how much they really paying. After all, it was their idea to go over budget 🤷🏻♀️
Mom’s pick was so beautiful ❣️ Sad that she didn’t trust her but these silly “friends” 🤨!!
Wtf?? How can you push a friend to have a bigger budget, without offering to pay the extra amount?? This was just insane. Horrible friends.
Why not decorate the venue to suit the dress you already have, instead of spending so much money on another dress for just one day? The first dress she bought was very flattering on her.
Mother still knows best. ❤
I think she chose the right dress. It is beautiful and she is beautiful in it. My first thought when she came out in it was vintage Hollywood.
I preferred the mom's pick and the under budget dress to the one selected. At the end of the day, it wouldn't matter if a pretty dress didn't meet all requirements. It isn't the most important aspect of the day.
I think it's interesting how address off the hanger can either come alive when you put it on or die a horrible death when you put it on
Oof. I feel bad for this bride. The sleek dress was gorgeous and was affordable for her. These “friends” really didn’t seem to have her best interests at heart.
Also, when she looks back years later, I don’t think it would have made a difference which dress she got. She looked beautiful in each of them. I got my dress at a thrift store and although I have seen more beautiful gowns, mine made me FEEL amazing, and I’m sure the extremely low price had something to do with it! 😂
I love that Randy asked if the entourage was pitching in financially on the dress!
The first dress was lovely. In a word, the entourage was so wildly inappropriate. I thought the dress the bride chose was beautiful. People should really learn to respect others. It was clear she wanted to stay within budget.
The friends want her to have it so much, they should pay the overage as thier wedding gift to her.
Mom picked the right dress.
$ 2000 budget would be good. Don't try to please others. Dresses look like under garments.
The first dress that she came out was the prettiest and that was the one that she purchased before
They are mean to her mom. Not a fan of this entourage.
I really liked the first dress, the one she returned.
That dress was not worth breaking her budget over, and if the friends were going to chip in they should have made it abundantly clear instead of being so wishy-washy
I loved her first dress, so elegant and fitted her theme, the expensive dress was not flattering at all!!
The friends want her to overspend her budget, then they should share the excess. You are not a yrue friend if you knowingly give your friend money angst.
Which one of her friends was going to step up and tell her mother that after insulting the dress and mom they talked her into ditching the beautiful and flattering dress she bought with her mom and instead bought a much more expenssive and unflattering blah of a dress so they could be on TV?
She should talk to her Mum before committing to the expensive dress. She has doubt because of the price and that should be enough to say no.
Going shopping with her mum and then changing the dress because of her friends and still have her parents pay even more? That's harsh and ungrateful.
Her "so-called" actor friends have no business on this episode. They're not helping THE BRIDE.
If you cant afford it dont buy it. 10 yrs from now you will barely remember the dress. But the money could have been spent more wisely. On your new house!
The dress she chose at the end is STUNNING! ♥Why do all the brides hold their dresses like they are carrying bags full of groceries as they walk in?
wow it is hard to choose from so many beautiful dresses
As a bride who bought one dress then immediately regretted- I get it. I did a big ceremony ballgown and then my original mermaid as the reception dress and it was perfect. Very over the top and me.
My youngest son, at 29 years of age, had a house built. He had a specific budget in mind. Some things he went over budget, some he refused to budge. He had the money, in cash, to go over. I tried telling him that the house was an investment and that he could do certain things. The area of the property was of such that he wouldn’t over capitalise. We had really heated arguments about this. The completed house is beautiful. Fast forward three years and he is really regretting some of his choices. Especially since he had the money. I think that in a situation, if you’re in a position when you can recover the costs, you should spend the money. Life is short and full of, not the things that we have done, but by the things that we regret not doing.
