The entourage treated this like a fashion show. One even said "we want to see her try on LOTS of dresses." Agreed - she should have left at least six of these people at home.
Whether it's buying a dress or a car or a house or even choosing a restaurant to eat at - sometimes friends and relatives might be jealous and not want what is best for the bride and will sabotage everything. Choose what you want.
I can totally empathize and relate to what this poor girl was going through!! I got married in September brought my Mom my sister sister-in-law and niece (she's 9) and my daughter was on video chat bc I'm in Texas and she's in Philadelphia and everyone except for my mom was pulling a hundred dresses and wanting me to keep trying on trying on trying on and I got hot overwhelmed and confused that first day! I finally said that's enough I'm not trying on anything else!! I went to the next one I found a dress that I loved my mom and I both cried and I'm so happy that I listen to myself instead of everyone else because they were not only pushy but way too expensive also!!!
This is my first time seeing an episode where someone only picks something they love, and they don't listen to the other people. It's nice to see her pick something she truly loves ❤
I’m so happy she picked the first dress!! I’m also glad she was able to stay in the room by herself to make this decision. May I add she looks so beautiful in her dress😍😍😍
I would have ditched the lot.....it was just me at first and then showed my mother and that was it. Very easy, simple and no frills. Great wedding too.
That is the problem with taking such and entourage. They can provide an opinion but they have to realize that at the head of the day the bride's opinion is the most important
Holy Toledo! That poor bride became so overwhelmed by the constant suggestions from her entourage. Don't people know when to shut up?? It was so obvious they needed to back off.
This episode aired some time ago. Thankfully, post-pandemic era, Kleinfeld's and many other bridal salons limit the amount of entourage members a bride can bring. 3 tops for Kleinfeld's. What a relief for the staff and brides!
I am so glad she picked the first dress she said she loved. I thought the one her friends liked was over the top for a Florida coastal wedding, and it definitely didn't meet her comfort requirement.
I think the fact that she made her decision when she was completely alone shows how detrimental to the decision-making process a large entourage can be. I don’t understand why brides think they have to please EVERYONE in their bridal party in the first place-maybe two or three close friends/family members at the most.
When the bride loved it and her mother loved it, they were done. Too bad it took hours to realize that, but I'm glad she chose that dress. It was perfect for her body, her personality and her venue.
And not just satin -- _that much_ satin, along with all the flowers and stuff. I thought the satin gown was just way too much for her soft-spoken personality. I think it was the bride's sister who mentioned how the skirt of the first dress reminded her of waves, which was perfect for a Lauderdale wedding. Nice observation, I think.
She looked perfect in the first dress. Everyone else was just jealous. Their pick took all of the attention away from her as a whole. She was so happy in the first dress and those “friends” ruin everything for her. Maybe don’t have them at the wedding if they think they can dress her better than the consultants. Her mom is so sweet and supportive and knows what she looks good in.
She made the whole wedding dress shopping more complicated than it should be. There is no point inviting all the people to the shopping especially all those bridemaids. The more bridemaids the more they are going to make it about them. In my wedding dress shopping experience I researched before hand. I knew what I wanted went there with small group of family and tried the dresses on especially the one I knew was the one . It was the 1st dress I tried on. That was literally it!
How do we know that they ALL invited themselves because it was KLEINFELDS. Seriously, sometimes that is the way people ARE and if a person is really sweet they don't or can't force them all not to come because people get MAD and cause DRAMA. I was married during a time when most people were away at college, I was not there and was at my parents home, so Mom and I did everything together. I don't think I even had a bridal shower. It was after Christmas in January so people cheaper out on gifts. ( although I had not really been thinking about that.) My Mom had nine children and raised more grandchildren and she said, " I can't stand it when twenty people who know better all sign up on a card for a set of pillows or something like that, it is wrong and they can do better." MY EX mother in law went through our gifts that she was storing for us and GAVE AWAY the best things to our friends when they got married and left me with the cheap stuff. I couldn't believe it, well, I could, no one was good enough for her "boy". Hence ex.
The first dress was perfect. The "fancy schmancy" dress (could have done without the shoulder thing) was incredible - she looked like a model, she looked stunning. But the first dress was perfect.
The bigger the entourage, lower the self-esteem and need for external validation. Just know yourself and what suits you, take mom or a best friend or a sister or just someone honest, supportive if you need feedback but I feel its best to just go yourself and make a good decision.
Brides probably start out with asking one or two special people to go shopping for a dress and the rest invite themselves along and bride is too nice to say no.
I brought my mom, maid of honor, matron of honor, the best woman, the flower girl, my mother in law & her godmother, the honor attendant, the ring bearer, the bridesmaids (& junior bridesmaids), candle lighters, the officiant, the ushers & the venue owners 😂
And why do the consultants always pretend that they don't know who the bride is? In Kleinfeld's main salon, not only is the bride always seated at the one side, but - surely - the production staff has already introduced the selling staff to the client/entourage and, most likely, they have had prior "takes."
I’m always amazed that adult women will ignore what the bride wants and focus on their own preferences. They should be a support system. (But the bride and MOB should set guidelines BEFORE the appointment.) It is also disappointing to see people have no consideration for the sales staff.
I get it. The first dress I tried on was THE dress. I could have tried on a million dresses and it wouldn't have changed my mind. I only tried on three others, I just knew.
I tried on one dress. It was on a mannikin in the store window. It fit perfectly. The dress cost $40 because it was on the mannikin. No alterations needed. No entourage to make me second guess my choice. I looked good on my wedding, and didn't break the bank on a dress I wore once.
I totally understand how this girl wanted a fun but comfortable dress. When I got married that was my criteria, the dress had to be light and comfortable to wear. Her pick was right for her, the dress was amazing.
She's a people pleaser saying yes to anyone who was bored enough to show up that day. And she paid for it with a horrible appointment experience. If it had been just mom she would have tried on so many more options and been empowered enough to make the decision with them out on the floor which is what every bride deserves
Her bridesmaids weren't there for her. They just wanted to see the bride wore the dresses they picked so they'll know if the dress they liked suit themselves.
I'm glad she took the time at the end of the appointment to sit alone with the dress she liked the most. It's always confusing and stressful trying to please so many people, each with their own opinions.
The way I see it, its the bride's wedding. Everyone else needs to shut their traps. They're not the ones getting married. They're not the ones who are going to wearing the dress. She is.
I always wonder why people give a low point for the budget. If you say budget is 3 to 6 thousand and there is a dress for under 3 that you might love they won’t even pull that dress even if it fits all your wishes. Also while they don’t encourage large entourages there doesn’t seem to be a limit to how many people you can bring. It makes the appointment crazy. Maybe the produces just want all the drama for entertainment. I wish it wasn’t so over the top ridiculous sometimes.
The bride is beautiful and all the dresses were stunning on her. The satin dress was wonderful but it was not what she was looking for. She clearly said she didn’t like satin and wanted to feel comfortable. The in laws should have been more respectful of her wishes. Great that she was able to choose HER dress and best that she looked wonderful on it.
This is a good lesson as to why it's not wise to bring so many young women with you on your appointment. Although they sincerely wanted to help her, because she didn't have a clear vision in mind, they ended up overwhelming and distracting her. So glad she was able to listen to her heart admist all that noise. She looked exquisite in her pick!
My BFF had a 12 person entourage (including me who was actually her MOH, so it was actually 13) and it was a disaster of epic proportions! When she did her vow renewal ten years later, there were 3 people there; me, her mom and one of her SIL's who was a big fashionista (and a bridal consultant herself)
Thank goodness the bride stood true to herself. Otherwise she might have been uncomfortable with the other heavy dress. She was smart to decide away from the others. If the bride + the mother are BOTH happy with a dress, what more could one ask for? 😉 ( I swear l have seen a matching wedding cake somewhere that looked like dress #2! 🤭 Very lovely, but that was the first thing that popped in my mind! ) ☺️✌️❤️🦋🙏
This appointment gave me anxiety by proxy. I had 3 women with me, and they were all amazing at respecting my vision but giving me feedback. She needs to stop being a people pleaser. Good God.
Great example of why you don't invite that many people to the appointment. Keep the opinions that matter the most - which is usually family. I would have my mom (in spirit), my sister, my MIL, and my MOH - and that's it. Maybe my other best friend, but cap it at 4 people. Anymore than that will invite chaos.
Talk about TOO MANY OPINIONS! Glad she followed her gut and got the dress SHE WANTED . In my opinion the most important person to go wedding dress shopping with you is your mother
If the bride-to-be is going to make that kind of mistake right from the start (bring waaaayy too many people to ‘help’ her make any kind of choices and decisions), I don’t give her partnership with her husband a long term. That was VERY stupid to bring AND listen to all those people and their opinion.
The entourage treated this like a fashion show. One even said "we want to see her try on LOTS of dresses." Agreed - she should have left at least six of these people at home.
At least!!!
I agree and she should have left those other people at home.
Whether it's buying a dress or a car or a house or even choosing a restaurant to eat at - sometimes friends and relatives might be jealous and not want what is best for the bride and will sabotage everything. Choose what you want.
-way too many ppl with her ... !-

These ladies are treating this appointment like it’s fashion show dress up time. That first dress was lovely
I agree and love the first dress.
Next time try leaving 6 of those people at home!!!
Probably leaving all of them at home, but mother.
@@diamondbentley7469 probably right 😂
Exactly. 👌🏼
The in-laws had no business being there, and dictating the dress!! So much audacity
Exactly! Why does anyone need to bring so many people?
So happy she choose the first dress. Looks amasing on her!
Yesss! Thank goodness ❤
This is my first time seeing an episode where someone only picks something they love, and they don't listen to the other people. It's nice to see her pick something she truly loves ❤
I’m so happy she picked the first dress!! I’m also glad she was able to stay in the room by herself to make this decision. May I add she looks so beautiful in her dress😍😍😍
What would possess anyone to bring eight people to the appointment? Absolutely insane.
I would have ditched the lot.....it was just me at first and then showed my mother and that was it. Very easy, simple and no frills. Great wedding too.
She may be a people pleaser and feel like she didn’t want to disappoint them by not bringing them.
To give 'em all a chance to be on TV. That's all.
That is the problem with taking such and entourage. They can provide an opinion but they have to realize that at the head of the day the bride's opinion is the most important
I’m so relieved that she got the beautiful first dress! She lit up in it! It was definitely, definitely HER dress.
That is so sweet that she made her decision with just her mom in attendance. What a beautiful moment!!
Holy Toledo! That poor bride became so overwhelmed by the constant suggestions from her entourage. Don't people know when to shut up?? It was so obvious they needed to back off.
Mob mentality. 🤷🏻♀️
FINALLY! She picked the dress for HER!!
This episode aired some time ago. Thankfully, post-pandemic era, Kleinfeld's and many other bridal salons limit the amount of entourage members a bride can bring. 3 tops for Kleinfeld's. What a relief for the staff and brides!
They just wanted to play, "Dress Up!"
I am so glad she picked the first dress she said she loved. I thought the one her friends liked was over the top for a Florida coastal wedding, and it definitely didn't meet her comfort requirement.
I think the fact that she made her decision when she was completely alone shows how detrimental to the decision-making process a large entourage can be. I don’t understand why brides think they have to please EVERYONE in their bridal party in the first place-maybe two or three close friends/family members at the most.
Next time, leave six people at home. Just you, your mom, and your sister can go to the salon.
Hope she doesn't have ever to choose a wedding gown again 🙌
Or just the bride, tbh.
This only goes to prove my best advice: go dress shopping on your own, and please yourself. If you're going hiking, take a friend, don't go alone.
The first dress was perfect.
Glad she was able to decide; the first dress looks beautiful!
When the bride loved it and her mother loved it, they were done. Too bad it took hours to realize that, but I'm glad she chose that dress. It was perfect for her body, her personality and her venue.
Good grief, too many cooks spoil the stew
Stunning. The first dress was incredible.
I love the first dress too.
Satin in Florida!!?? Those girls don’t know what they are doing
And not just satin -- _that much_ satin, along with all the flowers and stuff. I thought the satin gown was just way too much for her soft-spoken personality. I think it was the bride's sister who mentioned how the skirt of the first dress reminded her of waves, which was perfect for a Lauderdale wedding. Nice observation, I think.
Sticky situation for sure.
The 1st dress was her dress. Each person in her entourage were picking dresses that they'd wear.
Yes, I knew it the minute she walked out in it the first time. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Carli's mom seems like a wonderful person
She absolutely looked gorgeous in that first dress and she should have left most of her entourage behind.
She looked perfect in the first dress. Everyone else was just jealous. Their pick took all of the attention away from her as a whole.
She was so happy in the first dress and those “friends” ruin everything for her. Maybe don’t have them at the wedding if they think they can dress her better than the consultants. Her mom is so sweet and supportive and knows what she looks good in.
She should have left the bridesmaids at home. It's an experience only for family.
She didn't even smile in the satin dress but was absolutely radiant in the first dress and her friends couldn't see that. Sad.
She made the whole wedding dress shopping more complicated than it should be. There is no point inviting all the people to the shopping especially all those bridemaids. The more bridemaids the more they are going to make it about them. In my wedding dress shopping experience I researched before hand.

The first dress was made for her. she looks absolutely stunning
I'm so glad she picked that dress it just made her look beautiful. It brought out her natural beauty. Have a wonderful wedding day.
I would litterally say she looked beautiful in everything but let her know its her choice i just wanna see my friends happy and Healthy.❤
So proud of Carly for standing up for herself and picking her choice ❤
1st dress is SO much better that this puff of flowers her friends selected.
In the end it should be what the bride wants and feels most comfortable in. I'm so glad she chose dress one and she looked absolutely beautiful in it.
First dress was perfect on her. Perfect choice and glad that mom stand by her.
The bigger the entourage, lower the self-esteem and need for external validation. Just know yourself and what suits you, take mom or a best friend or a sister or just someone honest, supportive if you need feedback but I feel its best to just go yourself and make a good decision.
Brides probably start out with asking one or two special people to go shopping for a dress and the rest invite themselves along and bride is too nice to say no.
Or they know the bride is being filmed and that they will also be on TV!
Yep!!
I brought my mom, maid of honor, matron of honor, the best woman, the flower girl, my mother in law & her godmother, the honor attendant, the ring bearer, the bridesmaids (& junior bridesmaids), candle lighters, the officiant, the ushers & the venue owners 😂
😅😅😅
That first dress was stunning! 🤍
I always felt that the first one suited her best. Well chosen!
Why's her mother in law's friend there?!!
And why do the consultants always pretend that they don't know who the bride is? In Kleinfeld's main salon, not only is the bride always seated at the one side, but - surely - the production staff has already introduced the selling staff to the client/entourage and, most likely, they have had prior "takes."
The production team ask them to pretend. No one likes to be cringe on TV
Why is the Mother In Law’s friend there for gods sake
It was just me and my parents and we picked the most beautiful dress for me and we had a fabulous Time together.
Carly looked darn stressed for what was supposed to be a fun time. Leave all but one or two at home!
Just with mom at the end.. Perfect. Just as it always should have been ❤
The bride chose the correct dress. She will look beautiful!
The first dress was pretty but the satin was a show stopper. However comfort is important.
I’m always amazed that adult women will ignore what the bride wants and focus on their own preferences. They should be a support system. (But the bride and MOB should set guidelines BEFORE the appointment.) It is also disappointing to see people have no consideration for the sales staff.

The first one was the best on her! ❤ gald she chose that one
Don't bring so many!!!!!! It makes it harder on the bride in the end. Maybe a couple. Those girls are picking out THEIR dress, not hers!!!!!!
She's a people pleaser saying yes to anyone who was bored enough to show up that day. And she paid for it with a horrible appointment experience. If it had been just mom she would have tried on so many more options and been empowered enough to make the decision with them out on the floor which is what every bride deserves
So sad when it's all about the wedding, the bride and the dress and not about the marriage.
They should limit the entourage to 3 people. Bride and 3 others. That's it.
Her bridesmaids weren't there for her. They just wanted to see the bride wore the dresses they picked so they'll know if the dress they liked suit themselves.
I'm glad she took the time at the end of the appointment to sit alone with the dress she liked the most. It's always confusing and stressful trying to please so many people, each with their own opinions.

That is why she should have left them at home.
Mom knew what her daughter wanted.
Your mother, maid of honor/best friend and sister or sister-in-law...that's all you need at one of these appointments.
Such a beautiful moment with Carlie and her mom❤
Why in the hell would you want to make everyone else happy?!!!
I always wonder why people give a low point for the budget. If you say budget is 3 to 6 thousand and there is a dress for under 3 that you might love they won’t even pull that dress even if it fits all your wishes.

Audrey’s time is valuable. Too many cooks in the kitchen. There’s no wonder why she was getting confused. I’m glad she stuck with her choice
Her Mother knew!💜🙏🏾😍👏🏽
The bride is beautiful and all the dresses were stunning on her. The satin dress was wonderful but it was not what she was looking for. She clearly said she didn’t like satin and wanted to feel comfortable. The in laws should have been more respectful of her wishes. Great that she was able to choose HER dress and best that she looked wonderful on it.
Bride's choice not the entourage.
That suited her
Only immediate family should be allowed at these events
Mamma knows the best
That first dress was the best
PERFECT. The entourage needs a time out. In the corner. With no chocolate.
Ha, ha... Love it! ☺
Lol why is her mother-in-law’s friend here 😂 Carli should’ve just brought her mom and left everyone else at home
I think you misheard her lol. She said: Her mom her mother in law. Her sister in law, her maid of honor, her matron of honor and bridesmaids.
@@thehungrygoldfish I was referring to the person at 6:27
This is a good lesson as to why it's not wise to bring so many young women with you on your appointment.

I always liked Joan. I think she was a reasonable wise person.
Why the hell do brides have an entourage to "help" choose their dress? It's the bride's choice at the end of the day!
I don’t understand why they don’t have a limit as to how many people you can bring to the appointment.

For all future brides - ditch the entourage and go with what you want. Audrey looked gorgeous and so happy she got the dress she wanted.

Support the bride and her decisions. She has to wear the dress.

Oh the first one is beautiful!
Great example of why you don't invite that many people to the appointment. Keep the opinions that matter the most - which is usually family. I would have my mom (in spirit), my sister, my MIL, and my MOH - and that's it. Maybe my other best friend, but cap it at 4 people. Anymore than that will invite chaos.
Only take people with you who are there to support your vision. This bride just set herself up to fail.
Leave everyone except mom at home.
Talk about TOO MANY OPINIONS! Glad she followed her gut and got the dress SHE WANTED . In my opinion the most important person to go wedding dress shopping with you is your mother
That's the problem in taking in a lot of entourage 😂
Instead bring mama and sister, your friends just let them attend your wedding
Large wedding parties just make the bride look like a bottomless pit of neediness & attention.
WARNING DON'T TAKE 8 EXTRA PEOPLE TO HELP PICK (YOUR DRESS)
This girl is so beautiful she looked stunning in everything. She shone in the first dress.
If the bride-to-be is going to make that kind of mistake right from the start (bring waaaayy too many people to ‘help’ her make any kind of choices and decisions), I don’t give her partnership with her husband a long term. That was VERY stupid to bring AND listen to all those people and their opinion.
I had my mom, grandmom and two bridesmaids with me. Everything was fine and the second dress I tried on was the one
I hate when they don’t say the price what the hell is wrong with you guys?
