What I can't understand is why people spend so damn much on weddings period- I've calculated costs, and even with a dress, we're looking at spending less than 2k TOTAL, and that's with everything including food. Yikes at some of these prices! 😬
@@TheGreeneBeaddepends on the person. sometimes weddings can’t be helped to be the dream day for some people. One of those people are 100% me. I’ve been saving for years so I can have a non budgeted dress and the perfect day. To me Marriage and Weddings are 2 different things !😂 marriage = my love I have for my partner , wedding = my childhood dream.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fjI don’t think thats really a double standard because the reality is that every bride wants the groom to like the dress. Brides just want - and should - get the final decision since they are the ones wearing it. But that has little to do with this video, she just wanted to make sure he’d back her decision about spending money.
@@RevLeigh55 Some people can't afford to go higher. How would you feel if your partner went over the budget you discussed together without letting you know before hand? For me that's a trust issue
Her fiancé clearly has the right priorities. He cares more about how she feels than controlling her decisions. The fact that they both have that amount of respect for each other to talk about any financial decisions like adults and are willing to be fair to each other shows that they'll make it.
@@MsJubjubbird absolutely, but my point is that he was rational and fair to her regardless, and he wasn't a jerk about it. A lot of times you see family members who are paying that either won't put their foot down and the bride only cares about what she wants, or the person paying for it is being unfair and making demands about a day that isn't even for them. I'm just happy that they had an adult conversation about it.
Is it me, but every time they mention a fashionista member of the entourage, they''re just the opposite, and usually obnoxious too? As others said, I love that the bride consulted her fiancé and that he said yes, they're both lovely :)
That mother should have slapped down that bloody sister. Fiance was lovely, but she is a pretty girl. I just saw an Asian girl trying on wedding dresses in thrift stores, that were STUNNING. UTTERLY STUNNING AND... READY FOR THIS? $40. There is NOTHING clever about spending stupid money on silly things.
I love the fiancé! He said “I spend on what I want if it’s your dream dress get it❤️❤️❤️” No hesitation at all. Yes it was over budget but not crazy❤️❤️ Congratulations!!
@@BasicYTHandleRegardless of whatever reason it was, at least she gave him a call to inform him instead of just going ahead just because she wanted it. I would inform my husband if I was in this situation.
If I were the sister, I would have paid the difference, and that would have been my contribution as a gift. It would make me proud to have contributed to my sister's dream dress that she so clearly loved.
BUDGET $2,500!!! Bride said she's paying for it, and wants to stick to THE budget. Why would the sales rep bring her a dress way above it?! I HATE IT WHEN THEY DO THIS. It's a blatant disrespect, and unprofessional all the way around.
I completely agree. Randy said it's the number#1 rule to never disrespect a bride and put her in a tough spot by bringing her a dress outside of her budget.
I burst into tears when I heard him tell her, "If it's your dream dress, BUY IT!"! He probably won't get many other chances to say that to his love throughout the marriage. 💞
I dunno... my late husband made me very happy throughout the 24 years we had together and every time I hesitated over purchasing something for me, he always said "go for it! Get it! You deserve it! I want you to have it!" I don't want much, have always been a minimalist by inclination (if I don't have it, I don't have to dust it, wash it, maintain it, etc) but every now and then, I would feel an irrational attraction to something and he was always there to enable me. It wasn't always a big ticket item--it could be something like hesitating over a jar of Dundee marmalade at the store, which I love and he just didn't like at all (guess it's an acquired taste). If I so much as slowed down going past the marmalade, he'd be grabbing at the Dundee marmalade to put it in the cart and telling me "you love it, you know you do and I love to watch you eat it on toast!"
I would be so mad at that consultant for pulling a dress that was outside of my budget after I told her what my absolute max was. if she doesn't go speak to her manager and get the price to match my budget she should never bring that dress to me. Its about the principle and not everyone can afford an extra $400, plus tax, and alterations.
Love the fiancé’s attitude! He was super considerate. That marriage has a REALLY good chance for longevity because there is consideration / compromise on both sides! 💕🤞🏽💕
I watched this episode when it aired on tv which was yearsss ago. I thought damn her sis is 'stylish' HELL NA. now rewatching it and reevaluating, I STILL FEEL THE SAME. Her sis commented 'trashy' says the person who is wearing a fake chanel sweater..
What a loving and supportive fiance I'm really happy for her. :) she looks so beautiful in it and im sure the fiance will be left breathless when he see her walk down the aisle
the fiance is the only other person who should ever be saying what the consultant said about "it's not too much above your budget." that was out of line.
Great show Jillian is an amazing consultant! She looked perfect in the dress she picked. The couple is adorable! Love that her sister desires her sister to find her perfect dress great episode!
There is lots of things we don't get to see, so I presume dresses the consultant was pulling were according an input the bride was giving her, however, I don't feel they were the best fit for her body type, her personality, nor wedding venue/team. She presents herself as simple, down to earth, country girl with matching taste and requirements when it comes to the dress. She is very slim and can pull off pretty much anything, but the dresses she was put in were for slightly fuller and curvier, lusher figure and for more formal, glamorous, even evening wedding. The bride wanted simple and comfortable, the sister wanted strapless lace - hardly something too difficult to find, or very fashionista. Nice, lacy, flowy, light and airy boho dress would suit far better bride's slender figure, her youthful, natural vibe and small country wedding. It would be something that suit her visually, fits great, is comfortable, fits the wedding theme and satisfies sister's requirements. The dress she ended up with is too formal and serious for her, does nothing for her figure and it doesn't fit country wedding theme. She is lovely, sweet girl and she did look beautiful regardless. I just feel she could do much better.
@@blueice011 You're forgetting the fact that the bride absolutely loved the dress. She didn't seem the sort to buy something she didn't love, esp something over budget.. you may not have thought it was the best for her, but she certainly did. I thought she looked absolutely beautiful, lovely in every way.
@@msdeviantdizzy It's just my opinion, as I clearly stated - as well that she did look lovely regardless. If you had an opportunity to see Gok Wan's work (SYTTD Lancashire) - that's what I had in mind. Way more healthy price range and huge selection of dresses in styles that Kleinfeld rarely carries, especially at up to 3k price range (Boho, Art Deco...) with stylist who alter them on bride's body on the spot to give her full experience of how the dress will look on her, together with expertise when it comes to style that will flatter her the most.
@@AFAskygoddess Could be because the bride and her fiance want to do it on their own and not have a whole shitload of money spent on one day. Their preference??
Why is it that there's always 1 "fashionista" in every entourage that thinks that they know everything about fashion abd completely disregards what the BRIDE ACTUALLY WANTS!! After all, SHE'S THE ONE WEARING THE DRESS!!!
I'd be a wreck knowing I'd have to continue losing weight before my wedding. It's stressful enough having to plan a wedding so having to lose weight on top of that can sometimes be impossible.
The sister was sandbagging everything in order to springboard her stylist career. She couldn’t care less what her sister wanted. 🙄 Lucky she has a kind hearted fiancé.
The sister was not overly critical. The dress Katie liked best is the one the sister likes best. The sister was super supportive. Why can't the sister have an opinion?
Well personally if my sister was dressed like hers she sure wouldn't be helping me pick out my wedding dress!! She needs to burn the hat and boots!! But as for the dress she was gorgeous in it 😊😊
Too bad she just didn't get married on her tractor in jeans. This is someone who has her own farm already. She's feeding us city slickers so if she wants to walk down an aisle made of stitched denim jeans, go head.
With all those dresses, I'm sure there was one for Katie under her budget. They're always up-selling. Hope she can find some white satin flats instead of boots.
I like how the bride said it's going to be a small wedding of 100 people lmao but I was like well they're probably both from farming families and those tend to be huge (I say this from firsthand experience, my mom's side are from a farming background and there's a ton of them lmao I meet more cousins every time I go to a family reunion)
This is a marriage that should last I love that she asked his opinion and I loved his response that how marriage works it’s caring for each other and give and take

That communication between the bride and her groom is so nice to see! Open communication, and he was so excited for her to find a great dress ❤

But yet if the woman says that it is a different story.
The bride has like a model body I mean she literally looks stunning in everything 😍 and the fiancé is so sweet
"It's gonna be hard making both sisters equally happy" why do they need to be equally happy...? one is the bride and one is not...
Love the fiancé’s attitude! He was super considerate.

Her big sister is stylish? I never would have guessed.
That hat in the middle of a bridal place is like wearing sunglasses in a mall
Since she kept nixing all the dresses the bride loved the sister should have said, “I’ll help you cover the difference”.
I know that these episodes are old, but I honestly don't recall ANY DECADE when what her sister is wearing would be considered "stylish".
That's just your opinion.
No reason to make a negative comment.
I was about to say that
Yeah she’s trash
@@sharonfarrar5316 , you must be the sister 😆
@@AFAskygoddess😂😂😂 💯
What’s wrong with the family that the mum and sister don’t immediately step up and offer to cover the difference???
And why they had to do it??
It's not an obligation!
Her marriage,her pay!
Have you contributed to your sister's wedding dress?
The first dress was STUNNING. The fiancé seemed so sweet. The” fashionista” sister… her hat didn’t flatter the shape of her face.
The fashionista/big city sister had no fashion sense. That first dress was so classy.. The bride was so simple and beautiful ..
I watched this episode when it aired on tv which was yearsss ago. I thought damn her sis is 'stylish' HELL NA. now rewatching it and reevaluating, I STILL FEEL THE SAME. Her sis commented 'trashy' says the person who is wearing a fake chanel sweater..
Lol. The read! Not the fake Chanel shirt! 🤣
kinda shitty that they put her in it with the whole works THEN tell her the price and not consider that emotional manipulation.
I love the 1st dress. It's so sophisticated and classy
Agree. The guest dress was great on Katie.
The 1st dress was very pretty on her but im glad her fiance was so supportive about her buying the dress she ended up loving.
She is hands down my favorite ever on this show! 🤠
The dress she chose was perfect for her! But honestly, she looked amazing in every one of the dresses she tried on 😁👍
I loved the first dress on her, she looked like a queen.
I hope Katie and her husband are doing well. They seemed so considerate of each other.
Dress #1 was absolutely spot on!!!
It's the bride's dress, and the couple's wedding, When is the family or the sister going to realize it's not their wedding.
The bride always let's the family take over, no backbone 🤦🏽♀️
Perhaps when they are not brought along to give their input? It 'she's the bride' can't or won't handle opinions, she can always go shop alone.
@@blueice011I agree and if they don’t care for her family’s opinion then why bring them along? She could have shopped alone.
What a sweet fiancé!!!!
The dress you chose is certainly beautiful, and looks great on her, but I think that first satin dress was just as good and was in her price range.
What a loving and supportive fiance I'm really happy for her. :) she looks so beautiful in it and im sure the fiance will be left breathless when he see her walk down the aisle
I love how he was like “I bought a dirt bike so you go ahead and get that dress” 😂 love it haha

Katy just found out her fiance got a dirtbike for his wedding outfit.
fiance is SUCH a sweetheart!! sounds like a very happy marriage to come. wishing them the best!
Is your sister buying the dress
It is your day .
3:06 Dress #2 was so pretty. I don't know why no one liked that one. Lovely.
True, that one was really beautiful.
Loved it
I agree
For some reason everyone in the comments loves the first dress. Didn’t like the first dress on her.
Wearing hat indoors is a faux-pas and there is nothing about the sister that screams fashion.
Not if you’re a Quaker.
OK NYC, Katie is a farmer not a cowgirl. There’s a big difference.
But she referred to herself as a "cowgirl."
@@BasicYTHandle came here to say that
I love the fiance ❤❤❤
I really thought the family would pitch in for her.

Wears a hat- "Im a fashionista" 🤠
Sister: I think it looks trashy.
Me: And I think you need soap👆
I went wedding shopping by myself……all of those opinions would drive me crazy…..you know when you look nice or not….
The consultant was really good, all the dresses she pulled looks beautiful on her bride, considering the low budget dress.
Ohhh her fiance made me tear up, reminds me of my husband. That's sweet country boys for you
The consultant was way too focused on pleasing the sister and then pulls over budget dresses. Poor bride.
I love the satin on her! What a pretty lady! The off the shoulder pleats wow! Why couldn’t the family chip in?
I was thinking the same thing. If my sister needed an xtra $300 for the dress she loved then I would have given her the money.
why people wearing the worst clothes obviously not having any style are always stylists? How? Who is paying them?
Katie is so beautiful...is she without makeup!!? So natural...so beautiful!
The second bride looked sooo great in her dress!
Why is the bride trying to satisfy her Sister? Who's wedding is it?
Whose?
What a nice fiance! But couldn’t her family have kicked in the extra $300?
❤❤❤
I thought the same thing.
Why didn't her opinionated so-called "stylist" sister offer to make up the difference?
@@AFAskygoddessI agree but sadly they seem to want to take advantage of whoever they can.

The sister is a fashionista? Like for middle-schoolers? The bride has a better sense of style.
So true
Welcome to another episode of “It’s not your wedding”. Hey sis, why don’t YOU pay the price difference? I would have.
Why the mom and sister dont suggest to pay the extra?!
Why is it that there's always 1 "fashionista" in every entourage that thinks that they know everything about fashion abd completely disregards what the BRIDE ACTUALLY WANTS!! After all, SHE'S THE ONE WEARING THE DRESS!!!
I mean it’s so sweet of her fiancé, but come on.. fashionista…mom and friends there can’t chip in 300 dollars 😂
I'd be a wreck knowing I'd have to continue losing weight before my wedding. It's stressful enough having to plan a wedding so having to lose weight on top of that can sometimes be impossible.
Her sister needs to stop with turning down the dresses it's not her choice it is Katie's dress
The sister was sandbagging everything in order to springboard her stylist career. She couldn’t care less what her sister wanted. 🙄
Lucky she has a kind hearted fiancé.
No she wasn't. The dress Katie likes best is the one she likes best. So what exactly is the problem you have with that?
Katy has beautiful hair. Loved her final pick. She looked amazing.
I was disappointed her mother did not defend her daughter to the critical sister.
The sister was not overly critical. The dress Katie liked best is the one the sister likes best. The sister was super supportive. Why can't the sister have an opinion?
‘It’ll be perfect when she loses the weight”. Giiirl, she’s perfect now!
Well personally if my sister was dressed like hers she sure wouldn't be helping me pick out my wedding dress!! She needs to burn the hat and boots!!
But as for the dress she was gorgeous in it 😊😊
I didn’t hate the boots but I’ve always hated those hats
He’s a keeper!
Why do the consultants constantly upsell? Always going over budget. Very disrepectful.
Why is finding a dress that HER SISTER likes a consideration at all???
Too bad she just didn't get married on her tractor in jeans. This is someone who has her own farm already. She's feeding us city slickers so if she wants to walk down an aisle made of stitched denim jeans, go head.
With all those dresses, I'm sure there was one for Katie under her budget. They're always up-selling.
Hope she can find some white satin flats instead of boots.
The sister has no taste and is not any kind of fashionista. The first dress was perfection.
I like how the bride said it's going to be a small wedding of 100 people lmao but I was like well they're probably both from farming families and those tend to be huge (I say this from firsthand experience, my mom's side are from a farming background and there's a ton of them lmao I meet more cousins every time I go to a family reunion)
The bride is a natural beauty and the sister probably went into fashion to talk down to her hard working sister - pretentious and vacuous.
The Bride calling her fiancé sounds like me and my partner. Trade dirt bike for something nerd related and it's us! lol
she’s a farmer not a cowboy lol
They ruined the last dress with the stupid belt?! They do this all the time!!!
Yeah, those belts often ruin it completely 😣
I liked the belt. It would have been so plain without
Agree! Hate the belts
And this, this is how you adult.
You looked stunning Katie.
I would’ve thought she would want something lacy and more free flowing. I wouldn’t have thought satin for a cowboy bride.
This is a marriage that should last I love that she asked his opinion and I loved his response that how marriage works it’s caring for each other and give and take
OMG THE FIANCÉ!!!!! So cute and I love it!!
I think its so respectful of her to ask. If its her money.
the sister is over doing it
It's part of the show
google says average price of a dirt bike is 8-9k. So Yea!! Get the dress!!!
I love this bride's attitude. I think should could have rocked a pair of white jeans on wedding day!
first episode where i love everyone including the fiancé. such a good family
First dress was a winner! 🙌🏻
no offense but for someone whose 'high fashion' what she's wearing looked thrown on. /;
Does only one side of the sister's face work? Because clearly only one side of her brain is working, just like her opinion.
If she is my sister, i dont mind spending 500 additional cost for the dress.. i could say thats a selfish family..
The dress was perfection on her!
First dress looked awsome on her❤
