@@barbaracook7142 Me too. If I'm a first-time bride, I'm not settling for the second dress I try on, unless I have that "this is my dress" feeling. Personally I didn't care for the dress she chose; I didn't think it suited her that well, but that's just my opinion.
Her skin looks like a woman her age if they have looked after themselves, using proper cleansers and probably being English she's not been in the sun a lot. It doesn't look like she's had work done.. Sun damage is one thing that really shows in late fourties and fifties. I myself am nearly 50 and I get compliments a lot from people about my skin. It's true what we do when we are younger impacts our appearance when we're older. Drinking excessive alcohol too can have terrible effects on the skin as well, and it will show. I have simply used a good cleanser and moisturiser since I was a teenager, and important to keep up hydration and exfoliate regularly.
She is 53. Yes, she looks beautiful but you can't call her young. I don't see anything bad in his words. She is an older bride. At her age she could have had grandchildren. In my country she would have been already retired. There is no reason to be ashamed of your age, and it would be really strange if he called her a young bride when she could be the mother of the bride.
Oks0711 Who’s saying she should be described as young? I know, she knows, we _all_ know she’s older than the average bride. That’s beside the point. There’s no reason to be ashamed of your age as you say, but also absolutely no reason to be _defined_ by your age in this case. Especially when she’s still so young! What other people are doing at that age is irrelevant. Stereotyping people based on their age is not helpful in the best case and harmful in the worst.
The bride is cute. But the consultant just sucks at his job. He was more eager to persuade the entourage to like the dresses instead of showing the bride more options of dresses.
That played on her insecurities, insuring that she would be open to paying a little over her stated budget, to ensure she felt like she would look good on her wedding day. It was a way to put her in the frame of mind to accept a higher priced dress. That is why they didn't bother to clip the back of the cheaper dress to fit her properly, so she would not like the cheaper one.
@@angelawilliams4239 He's no oil painting himself though he seems to think he's superior to everyone with his affected voice and gestures. I can't warm to him at all.
While the consultants weren’t unkind in the episode, I’m sad that the show chose to focus on her age in the title as if it was a mark against her. Needlessly insensitive. Things like this are the reason that even 18-25 year olds are devastated over losing their teenage appearance or of becoming invisible after having a child. Wrinkles, curves, and gray hair show life lived and are common to us all. Embracing them shows maturity and strength. She’s a lovely and beautiful bride.
Totally agree! She was beautiful and seemed so sweet. Her age shouldn't have been discussed unless she brought it up in terms of how long she had been waiting for this moment.
The first dress wasnt hideous, was just ill fitting at the top. The way it sat on her waist was better than the drop waist. They didnt put the effort Gok puts to adjust the straps on the shoulder and the top back.
It was disappointing that the woman who was dressing her didn't try harder to fix the dresses to fit her better. You are right, Gok would have done so much better adjusting the dresses.
Dress one was indeed boring though. It being ill-fitted, I could see past, I know it will be tailored to fit her body later. That doesn't change how plain it was. I think dress one was too meh, dress two was better for a younger woman (I'm not trying to call her old, but realistically, people usually don't dress the same way in their 50's as they did in their 20's or 30's because certain styles either have passed or doesn't look as flattering on them anymore). Trying two dresses was also way too few. My suggestion would've been maybe something off the shoulder for the sleeves and maybe cut back just a wee bit on the sparkles. That second dress made me think of this hilariously cheesy commercial here in America from like the early 2000's for this DIY jewelry maker set. While of course advertised to girls, there's a part where a mid-30's year old woman wearing bedazzled rhinestone sunglasses says "It's not just a kid's thing, I love to bling!" And if you groaned reading that, that is my sentiment on that second dress. I hope behind the scenes, she tried on more.
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley ppl dont dress the same in their 50s because the moment they try another style, they get told "thats what a 20yrs old would wear!!" !?!? how about we stop these ageist comments and let ppl wear whatever they like? that lady liked that style, why should anyone tell her its not for ur age??
I gave a longer answer elsewhere, but I would think there is a "mutton dressed as lamb" thing in bridal wear, too. At my wedding, I was almost 10 years older than most of my friends when they got married. I didn't choose a "young maiden-ish" dress like they did... and now, almost at 50, I would choose yet another style if I were to get married now.
It makes me happy and gives me a hope to see the ladies getting married at their 40's and 50's. I wish one day my country will be there and women here will live their lives fullest without the fear of being judged.
She is beautiful and seems lovely. The dresses are hideous. Wish she’d got Gok helping her in Lancashire instead. It’s an awful lot closer to home too! Really think David doesn’t know what he’s doing. How were either of those appropriate?
The first dress absolutely swam on her. They made no effort to pull it in at the back, and it looked dreadful and so ill fitting. I personally thought it was a nice dress, and perhaps would have looked okay if a bit of effort had been put into it. Completely agree about Gok - he's a wonder.
wonder why he choose such an ugly gown for the bride!! 😨 wish Gok is here at least those dress that suits bride that he pick is truly from the heart ❤️
Two dresses and she has never tried on a wedding dress before? What is he thinking?! She needs to try out some different ones not the most simple and then the most blingy princessy that's above her budget! So rude. There's dress styles in between those two.
Yeah, I feel like the other consultants genuinely love their jobs and want their customers to be happy. David just wants money and sees this as no more than business.
I'm thinking the same. And I found the gown she bought a bit too girlish. To me, she looks sort of sportive and I would have liked a more elegant or "fresh" looking dress better. Sorry, don't quite know how to express what I mean ...
Before the veil - " umm so blingy", "its too much busy" , n etc etc. After the veil - "ohh you are looking so BeAuTiFuL.."*tears*.. David adding moreee bling by placing a tiara... The entourage: "oohhh my gawwddd, that's it. That's perfect . Can't wait to see you walking down the aisle wearing that😭😭😫" Me : dafaqq!?!?!?!?!
@@luana6184 To make more money. Bridal dresses are an emotional experience, and once a bride falls in love with a dress, even if it's over budget, she'll be more willing to pay for it. I love that Lori on the Atlanta version of the show has a rule about not doing this, and the one time she accidentally did it, she ended up giving the bride a discount.
Both dress options were awful and not at all flattering. This "Say Yes To The Dress" shop is the worst. Lori and Gok are the best. Their dresses are always a perfect fit for the bride.
Exactly, something seems off for both dresses. The first dress made her look like she has big shoulders and the second dress boob area and side boob looks awful. The bling on the second dress did not look good. She deserves to try on more dresses before rushing her out the door. Gok, Lori, Monty, and Randi would have picked better and affordable dresses for her especially for her budget.
I love watching "Say yes to the dress". She's a beautiful, radiant bride. However the bride's entourage, needs to remember, to be polite & kind & IT'S NOT YOUR WEDDING!! I'm so glad I went alone, shopping for my gown, a long time ago. Best wishes to the bride~
I know they often fake these, but I genuinely agreed with the friends that were on team no for both. The first one was too plain but the 2nd one...and I'm no spring chicken myself, but it indeed would look better on someone younger, as the woman said. I think a dress with some modest "bling" and maybe had off thr shoulder sleeves would be a good in-between ground. Or if it's going to be sleeveless, just not that dress. Something about it just didn't fit her, in my opinion. This woman waited 53 years and found the man of her dreams, I would hope she would try on more dresses and not be swayed after just two (and a more expensive dress at that!). But. It's her wedding and one shouldn't demand the bride to wear a dress they like, it's up to her.
They only show 2, it takes up to 8 or more hours to film this show. Then there's the editing. Odds are the bride tried on more dresses than we're seeing.
The male consultant is David Emmanuel, his wife and he designed Lady Di 's dress, which I thought was horrible! It swamped her, the material looked creased and dirty...just my opinion of course 😜
I feel he pushed her into the dress. 2 dresses is not enough to try on usually. When you're spending 2k or any where near or above that, make them earn that commission and show you more dresses. I think the dress was pretty but not the best style for her. Oh well, her choice, her day.
I've always read comments of people hating on David, but I thought that maybe people were being too harsh on him. But this episode makes me understand why. I didn't like the way he kept emphasizing her age and that he didn't even care that he showed a dress which was "200 pounds" over budget. Thats not "a tad bit" extra. 😅
Ya I didn’t like how either of them flowed. I’m not saying they needed to be fitted, in fact I would’ve loved to see her in a huge ball gown with lace. Maybe a smaller corset?
I feel she needed a fitted dress these ball gowns looked a bit childish not the sparkles..at least the consultant could've experimented a bit with the shape it is possible they might have liked a fitted dress better
I don’t think she needed a particularly fitted dress. Maybe she needed something with lace instead of bling. That wouldn’t be to simple and it wouldn’t look childish.
@@Pussycatfeathers but it doesn't change the DRESS. You've got people sitting there not liking the dress but when the veil goes on they burst into tears. They're crying because of the veil and the bridal schtick, not the dress.
@@Jen-cc9xk It's the fact that the veil helps them see what the bride sees in the dress. They end up loving it because they finally see a "real bride" and how happy she is in that dress.
Ugh I just feel like David almost always seems pretentious and seems to forget what a budget is. I just feel like he never really listens to the bride and just uses the same cookie cutter for every bride. Aunty Gok actually cares about the brides, David just cares about the commission...
How beautiful this moment is for every girl and how the consultant just adds more to it by the perfect dress .. i love it .. i wish i would get a bridal consultant like them
I waited until I was 47 to get married. I also wanted a dress more suitable for my age until my beautiful mom and sister told me that I'm only going to get married once, not to worry about my age and what people might think and get a dress that makes me feel like a bride. And I did and I loved our special day and never wanted to take my dress of. So my advise will always be to forget about other people and follow your heart
@@lynneufeld3175 a beautfull off the shoulder ballgown with a built in corset. I wore a hooped underskirt. And because I'm me and special my hair and nails were blue on the day and my gown laced up with black satin ribbon and I sewed black lace on the underskirt to peep out as I walked. Everybody that knows me said it was the perfect dress for me and I adored the dress
Her dress choice in the end was perfect. Once she has treated herself to a spa day, she will feel refreshed. Moving forward, she will have her hair done as well as makeup the day of the wedding which will add more sophistication and glamor to the appearance of the dress. Don't be so hard on her, she will not disappoint
I'm saddened that she thought brides at older ages can't wear sparkly dresses! If "young" brides can wear demure, conservative, plain dresses, why can't brides older in age wear sparkles, princess gowns, or even sweetheart necklines? Doesn't make sense. Wear what you feel beautiful in!
One of the greatest things about being an older bride is you have long-standing friendships. I don’t have a clue where most of the bridesmaids in my wedding are today.
@@irenemoroz4608 Yes, I would run for the hills rather than take a suggestion from him. Diana - I suppose within a couple of years - generally looked fabulous (taking into account 80s’s clothes). That wedding dress was truly awful, and the black engagement dress he designed wasn’t much better. Both dreadful mistakes in my opinion.
Long ago, I remember reading that Princess Diana (then Lady Diana) put Emmanuel in his place when he became a bit too familiar during a bridal fitting. She told him (with a pleasant but firm tone I’m sure), “Back in your box!” I thought that was a very classy way of saying, “Let us remember who you are sir!” I miss Princess Diana so much ❤️
I'm 53 and never worn a wedding dress, I've not been lucky enough to meet that someone special. It's a dream to try one on, but watching and listening to the remarks of David I now would feel embarrassed to!
Why ask a budget if you always go over it? $400 is not just a little bit. It's a good 25% over budget. Plus the alterations and other charges are not included in this price. I would be annoyed if I was in the bride's situation. What if a bride really likes an overpriced dress, but can't afford it at all? This way she would never really be satisfied with the dress she chooses. I don't think doing this is right.
Sometimes these entourages are too quick to shoot down a wedding gown option or there's some petty jealousy involved. The fewer people that go the better.
Omg when she was trying on dresses and standing on that stand and just looking in the mirror she looked just like a young woman like 20 something who usually come on the show. Wow her skin is gorg and her hair ❤️
There was a dress on the mannequin at 3:58 that would have been PERFECT for her. Just add a glittery little belt. I think they should have respected her decision to get a simple dress. The second dress was gorgeous, but she needed something a little gentler.
I don’t think David had a bad idea getting her out of her comfort zone, but I that case he should have also stuck more to her desire to have something more fitted. I think a third dress would have been great, and that dress on the mannequin was probably also in-budget.
David and the team have to up their game, they always seem to select the same dresses. The bride to be needs to try on other dresses from other stores.
What a beautiful woman inside and out. The problem with the first dress was that it was too loose up top and around the bodice to get a really good idea of what it would actually look like once closely fitted. It did suit her well. The second dress is a perfect profile for her. I would like to have seen her in a satin version with less bling......more queen than princess suits me at this level of maturity. However, she deserves her princess moment. Beautiful dress, beautiful bride.
Ok, I need comments from all you native English speakers out there: Where I live, commenting on a dress with "I hate it" and "hideous" would be quite rude to the bride and the seller, and I hear it over and over in SYTTD both UK and USA. Is that the show exaggerating or does it really happen?
@junimondify No exaggeration on the show's part. In the USA, we will talk like this. However, we do understand that it is also rude. Some would also say "I'm just being honest." to make the comments not seem so harsh.
It would be rude, but people can say “oh well it my opinion”. It really depends who you are. If maybe you a friend of the groom, people would stare and say your rude. If you’re the sister or best friend, you could say that they are stating their opinion, being funny (depending on context), or just trying do the best for the bride.
people do say this, if they know the person well they will probably say that they are being truthful with the brides best interests at heart, rather than rude
I always thought those comments were quite rude too! Imagine the designer hearing this... There's always a way to tell your opinuon without being offensive...
@@victoriab7148 That's what I was thinking. Nothing wrong with giving your opinion, but a "I'm not convinced" or "I'm not a fan" or "I would prefer if it was more ... " would totally be enough.
I think they could have done better! I believe there are many elegant dresses that suits such a bride, these are almost exactly the same 2 dresses they showed the bride Hannah ( as if, these are their 1st choices for elder brides)
She's a bride. Not an older bride, or younger bride. A bride.
True Story.

I hate when they said “juuusssst over budget” like alterations don’t cost anything
And going over £200 is not "just" a bit of money, either!
for them even €1000 is nothing, like they act as if spending 1k more one a dress is the most normal thing to do
And don't forget the added cost of the veil and jewellery, on top of the dress cost.
Most places include basic alterations in the price. Those that end up making major changes to dressed probably have to pay extra.
I find that he pushes the pricey dresses.
“Older” bride? Really? Here is a beautiful, vibrant, energetic woman and the only adjective they find title-worthy is “older”?😑

I feel he pushed her into the dress. 2 dresses is not enough to try on usually. When you're spending 2k or any where near or above that, make them earn that commission and show you more dresses. I think the dress was pretty but not the best style for her. Oh well, her choice, her day.
Why do I even watch this version, I'm always disappointed
Same here, disappointed on UK version. Love Gok
I've always read comments of people hating on David, but I thought that maybe people were being too harsh on him.
But this episode makes me understand why. I didn't like the way he kept emphasizing her age and that he didn't even care that he showed a dress which was "200 pounds" over budget. Thats not "a tad bit" extra. 😅
Especially when there are always alterations.
I wish she tried on more dresses.. i didn't feel like this was the one
I agree
In my opinion, both dresses are ugly, but so long as she’s happy 🤷🏻♀️
i wouldn't call them ugly but typical
Ya I didn’t like how either of them flowed. I’m not saying they needed to be fitted, in fact I would’ve loved to see her in a huge ball gown with lace. Maybe a smaller corset?
@@lillyc9283 Yes, I think that was one issue of mine. The tops were both very ... baggy.
I think if a sheer bolero jacket with the same bling as the dress was added she would have been a knockout. That would have eyes looking up and down.
Couldn't agree more that it doesn't suit her at all.
Pastel pink would be great with her coloring.
I feel she needed a fitted dress these ball gowns looked a bit childish not the sparkles..at least the consultant could've experimented a bit with the shape it is possible they might have liked a fitted dress better
She looked gorgeous. You don’t have to wear a tight gown just because you’re older
I don’t think she needed a particularly fitted dress. Maybe she needed something with lace instead of bling. That wouldn’t be to simple and it wouldn’t look childish.
She would have needed a more elgant top.
These dresses did not do anything for her, still, the second dress´s colour was good with her skin tone.
@@shalombereshiyth you missed the point completely
@@Mooncrest0 no, I disagree with the point completely
Little bit of an over dramatized title there.
seriously, she tried on 2 dresses and half the entourage was in tears over the second dress.
I hate how everyone's always tricked by the veil.
its not a trick, its just that a veil really does make the bride more beautiful
@@Pussycatfeathers but it doesn't change the DRESS. You've got people sitting there not liking the dress but when the veil goes on they burst into tears. They're crying because of the veil and the bridal schtick, not the dress.
@@Jen-cc9xk It's the fact that the veil helps them see what the bride sees in the dress. They end up loving it because they finally see a "real bride" and how happy she is in that dress.
I'm inspired! I'm 50 and seeing her wedding shop gives me a boost of confidence and inspiration!
Ugh I just feel like David almost always seems pretentious and seems to forget what a budget is. I just feel like he never really listens to the bride and just uses the same cookie cutter for every bride. Aunty Gok actually cares about the brides, David just cares about the commission...
They ALWAYS go over budget with boring old fashion dresses. Where is Gok???!
How beautiful this moment is for every girl and how the consultant just adds more to it by the perfect dress .. i love it .. i wish i would get a bridal consultant like them
Bless her heart! Courageous to do this in front of the world. Wish I had waited for Mr. Right.
I waited until I was 47 to get married. I also wanted a dress more suitable for my age until my beautiful mom and sister told me that I'm only going to get married once, not to worry about my age and what people might think and get a dress that makes me feel like a bride. And I did and I loved our special day and never wanted to take my dress of. So my advise will always be to forget about other people and follow your heart
Well said!
Your mom and sister knew what they were talking about. 👍
@@kyliepechler thank you
What did you pick out?
@@lynneufeld3175 a beautfull off the shoulder ballgown with a built in corset. I wore a hooped underskirt. And because I'm me and special my hair and nails were blue on the day and my gown laced up with black satin ribbon and I sewed black lace on the underskirt to peep out as I walked. Everybody that knows me said it was the perfect dress for me and I adored the dress
Love how the friend pushed her to be more confident she does look amazing!
There's NO need to specify 'older bride's 💔 She is a beautiful mature 👰 bride, and deserves the best as any bride in her special day. 🕊️🙏👍✝️👍✝️💗💖
This gives me hope... 40 and never married been single for 4 years... I look forward to meeting the man of my dreams in this phase of my life❤
Have u met anyone yet? I'm 34 been single for 6 years but I'm not looking and I'm happy single but maybe one day.
She was actually looking like an elegant princess in the first dress👰
all I learn from say yes to the dress is that veils are magic.
If the bride is glowing and cannot stop smiling then you know it is The Dress!!
I'm not even engaged, but I still am addicted.
Same, I don't even have a partner 😅
Me too 🙌 I'm not even seeing someone 😅
I am well over the 'marrying age' 😂🤣🤣 still love this show 👍❤️👍❤️
why does uk always go over budgetttttttt
And always the same dresses
Always always always
Her dress choice in the end was perfect. Once she has treated herself to a spa day, she will feel refreshed. Moving forward, she will have her hair done as well as makeup the day of the wedding which will add more sophistication and glamor to the appearance of the dress.
Don't be so hard on her, she will not disappoint
I think if they had added halter type straps it would have been nicer.
She looks so beautiful in both dresses! Lovely personality.
I'm saddened that she thought brides at older ages can't wear sparkly dresses! If "young" brides can wear demure, conservative, plain dresses, why can't brides older in age wear sparkles, princess gowns, or even sweetheart necklines? Doesn't make sense. Wear what you feel beautiful in!
One of the greatest things about being an older bride is you have long-standing friendships. I don’t have a clue where most of the bridesmaids in my wedding are today.
I appreciate that she insisted on waiting for the right man. It doesn't matter how long you wait to get married
What a lovely sister!! She’s honest but sweet and kind about it.
This dress is beautiful! And it makes her glow . . . She is a true princess in it!
Yeah. Even if you don’t like it, but you see the bride happy, you just have to give in and say she looks gorgeous.
Hard to believe Mr. Emmanuel had anything to do with Princess Diana's dress. To pushy!
well it's worth noting they didn't ask him back to dress kate or megan!
I think Diana's dress was hidious, to be frank.
@@irenemoroz4608 Yes, I would run for the hills rather than take a suggestion from him.
Diana - I suppose within a couple of years - generally looked fabulous (taking into account 80s’s clothes). That wedding dress was truly awful, and the black engagement dress he designed wasn’t much better. Both dreadful mistakes in my opinion.
@@terrybaby6146 yes, just a waste of high quallity fabric.
Long ago, I remember reading that Princess Diana (then Lady Diana) put Emmanuel in his place when he became a bit too familiar during a bridal fitting. She told him (with a pleasant but firm tone I’m sure), “Back in your box!” I thought that was a very classy way of saying, “Let us remember who you are sir!” I miss Princess Diana so much ❤️
I'm 53 and never worn a wedding dress, I've not been lucky enough to meet that someone special. It's a dream to try one on, but watching and listening to the remarks of David I now would feel embarrassed to!
I am happy for her...just because you're old doesn't mean u have to be simple. ❤️❤️
Congratulations Frances ! You look absolutely gorgeous in the princess dress it's perfect for you elegant !
Why ask a budget if you always go over it? $400 is not just a little bit. It's a good 25% over budget. Plus the alterations and other charges are not included in this price. I would be annoyed if I was in the bride's situation. What if a bride really likes an overpriced dress, but can't afford it at all? This way she would never really be satisfied with the dress she chooses. I don't think doing this is right.
Thought she looked absolutely stunning in that gorgeous dress! X
She looked just beautiful. Best wishes to you both.
I hate when people say “If it was me I’d choose/do this..” especially when it is a very important decision.
Bride asked if hubby will like it and the answer was "it wouldn't fit him hahaha". Great diplomatic answer for an obvious "Nope he won't".
I love the sister's answer...it won't fit him!
Sometimes these entourages are too quick to shoot down a wedding gown option or there's some petty jealousy involved. The fewer people that go the better.
This is one time that the veil helped sell the dress for me. It was good but the veil made it perfectly matching her happiness. Best wishes!
Omg when she was trying on dresses and standing on that stand and just looking in the mirror she looked just like a young woman like 20 something who usually come on the show. Wow her skin is gorg and her hair ❤️
I’m sorry but something just felt off. The consultant could’ve done better
There was a dress on the mannequin at 3:58 that would have been PERFECT for her. Just add a glittery little belt. I think they should have respected her decision to get a simple dress. The second dress was gorgeous, but she needed something a little gentler.
I agree, the one on the mannequin was stunning. Bit disappointed she didn't try a few more on 😕😕
I don’t think David had a bad idea getting her out of her comfort zone, but I that case he should have also stuck more to her desire to have something more fitted. I think a third dress would have been great, and that dress on the mannequin was probably also in-budget.
She looks lovely and must snjoy HER day and the dress SHE loves.
David and the team have to up their game, they always seem to select the same dresses. The bride to be needs to try on other dresses from other stores.
The entourage should remember its the brides day & its the brides vision, not the entourage.
Disliking for title, pushy consultant and over budget dresses.
Can't say I liked either dress. I think something with more elegance... She isn't 25. Sorry.... David sucks sometimes. This is one of those times....
I see it more like she's old enough to like and wear whatever the hell she wants. I really think they should've tried different styles on her though.
She was glowing on the second dress ✨
Is consult pushing for decision on 2nd dress??? He's definitely not my favorite. Where's Gok, Randy or the plus size consults. They have souls.
Just because she's older doesn't mean she has to be plain
...and I think her sister secretly wants her to "look her age"
She looks so beautiful in any dress she put. The 2nd is a stunner. Soooo beautiful in her🥰 Jaw drop🤭💖💖💖 . The dress fits her personality so well.
What a beautiful woman inside and out. The problem with the first dress was that it was too loose up top and around the bodice to get a really good idea of what it would actually look like once closely fitted. It did suit her well. The second dress is a perfect profile for her. I would like to have seen her in a satin version with less bling......more queen than princess suits me at this level of maturity. However, she deserves her princess moment. Beautiful dress, beautiful bride.
I wish this show had a rule that once a bride has said that they love a dress, the entourage isn't allowed to use words like hideous.
Absolutely stunning
I get why they didnt like the dresses but sometimes you just need to read the mood and just make someone else happy
I'm addicted to this show!
Ok, I need comments from all you native English speakers out there: Where I live, commenting on a dress with "I hate it" and "hideous" would be quite rude to the bride and the seller, and I hear it over and over in SYTTD both UK and USA. Is that the show exaggerating or does it really happen?
@junimondify No exaggeration on the show's part. In the USA, we will talk like this. However, we do understand that it is also rude. Some would also say "I'm just being honest." to make the comments not seem so harsh.
It would be rude, but people can say “oh well it my opinion”. It really depends who you are. If maybe you a friend of the groom, people would stare and say your rude. If you’re the sister or best friend, you could say that they are stating their opinion, being funny (depending on context), or just trying do the best for the bride.
people do say this, if they know the person well they will probably say that they are being truthful with the brides best interests at heart, rather than rude
I always thought those comments were quite rude too! Imagine the designer hearing this... There's always a way to tell your opinuon without being offensive...
@@victoriab7148 That's what I was thinking. Nothing wrong with giving your opinion, but a "I'm not convinced" or "I'm not a fan" or "I would prefer if it was more ... " would totally be enough.
She's as beautiful as someone 1/2 her age; good for you girlfriend 👍
I think they could have done better!
I believe there are many elegant dresses that suits such a bride, these are almost exactly the same 2 dresses they showed the bride Hannah ( as if, these are their 1st choices for elder brides)
If Frances likes the dress, then it's not up to the entourage to be so disparaging! They have poor boundaries. There's honest and there's rude!
I liked dress 1 better. I assume she did try on more than only 2 dresses though, and this is just a snippet from the full episode?
i hope so- but I think the male consultant is not someone I would ever trust- oily attitude and always over budget
@@maroulio2067 Slimy and phony....I agree.
