I honestly thought mom's dress was pretty, but if the bride doesn't like it, it's not for her.
That lace looks itchy😂😅
@@sandrabeulah 😆
Same
I agree, it is a beautiful dress
It's a beautiful dress, but the top looked a little big for her.
If Mum said wearing the dress is traditional, then why didn't she wear HER mother's wedding dress when she got married?
Just what I would have asked.
That's what I thought too!
Perhaps her mother never had a proper wedding dress. Lots of people just had to get married in their smartest outfit back then. Don't forget it wouldn't have been that long after WW2. In the UK rationing didn't finish until 1954 and lots of things were still in short supply.
My daughter is only a few years older than the young lady in this video, and my mum (her grandmother) married in the sixties. Her wedding dress was pretty but nothing like the flowing creations people expect today. It was more of a tea length with no train. This lady's mother would have been around the same age I imagine.
I can't believe that none of you have the imagination to realise that not everyone was able to have a lavish wedding with an expensive dress. This mum may have been the first one in her family to be able to do so.
Mom’s dress is really pretty but Mom needs to let it go.
No, she doesn't.
Yes, she does. The mom had her wedding, and had her dress. This isn’t about her, it’s her daughters day. She deserves to get her own experience as well! 😊
With this comment you just showed that you'll be a very difficult and crappy MIL one day 😂 I pity your DIL/SIL...
@@paloma4444 No one is suggesting that she throw it out with the trash, but she needs to let go of her fantasy of creating a family tradition where every woman in the family wears her dress at their wedding until it falls apart at the seams. It is a lovely gesture to offer the dress to the brides in the family--daughters, cousins, nieces, daughters-in-law, and the like--as long as she is willing to gracefully accept, "No, but thank you for offering, Auntie," as the response and not drag the dress out at every shopping appointment, lest she find herself promptly uninvited from dress shopping altogether. She also needs to consider if she's willing to allow a bride to make alterations, either major or minor. If a bride loves the dress but hates the sleeves, is she okay with having those removed? (I don't know if they can be removed without damaging the remaining lace. It's just an example.)
I do appreciate how quickly she accepted her daughter's decision to buy a completely different dress when she saw how happy the daughter was wearing it. Many mothers would have tried to shame their daughter into wearing it for reasons of tradition, finances, etc.
The consultant's reaction when Monty called out the dress 🤣
Mom did a great job with her dress. Its remained kind of timeless. Lots were hideous back then. ❤ I remember.
Poofy disco balls
Yeah, there were a lot of Princess Diana’s wedding gown spin-offs in the 1980s. Unfortunately, I’m not wild about Diana’s gown. The ruffle collar and puffy sleeves were too much IMO, but I can see a 19yo young woman in 1981 loving it.
Btw, have you seen the recreation of Princess Diana’s backup wedding gown? There was a video released with the designer here on CZcams recently. Go search it. 😊 No frilly collar, no puffy sleeves, and no long train. It looked like something that would have been worn by Marie Antoinette.
@@samanthac.349I thought Princess Diana’s dress was ugly.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj So did I. As they say so often on this show, you want to see the bride coming down the aisle, not the dress hiding the bride. Diana's dress was so awful.
@@samanthac.349 Agreed. If a younger bride is looking for modest traditional, Kate's dress is a much better inspiration.
The mother’s dress is actually classically beautiful.
I was waiting for poofy sleeves. There are brides who would her dress today.
They could have modified it. Knock iff the sleeves, change the v at the bottom to a curve make a sweetheart neck and it's a ballerina style . Not hard.
@@Captain_Nightwingbig sleeves kind of died out around the mid 80s. Between 79 and 83 big puffy stuff was in
@@Captain_Nightwing I expect a lot of people would still like it as it's not dissimilar to Catherine, Princess of Wales's wedding dress. Like you I was expecting leg of mutton sleeves and lots of swagged satin!
It really is not bad. Lots of 80s dresses are atrocious.
You know Mom is dragging her dress out for every daughter's wedding. Her kids have my sympathy.
I finally got rid of mine. And I wish I had let my kids play dress up with it. Hindsight is 20/20
Haha I know that’s exactly what I was thinking 😂
mom's dress is certainly more timeless than some of the 80s wedding gowns i've seen MOBs trying to force their daughters into, but the bride still looks like she's just playing dress-up in it. it honestly makes the bride look 12 years old.
I like the idea of wearing my mom's dress, but it's from 1995 and poofy sleeves, and the pictures make it look really shiny
Loved her mother’s dress. It was beautiful. I can understand how a young bride would want something new and more modern.
Absolutely love Monty His filter at 1 of his best LOL
Oh Mom….it WAS a flattering style. Sorry Mom, let your daughter have HER moment with HER dress.
Why can’t moms realize that their daughters’ weddings are not moms’, part 2?
Absolutely agree - the mother is trying to relive the past through the daughter. So many of the mums on SYTTD try to guilt the daughter to do what they want, not what the bride wants.
It's lovely to extend the offer for your daughter to wear your dress, but for heaven's sake don't pressure her about it.
Loved how the Mother acted when she saw her daughter loved the dress, and looked so beautiful. The Mother's dress was very pretty. If I was the daughter would have thought about altering it some, like remove the sleeves, to save money, but I do understand the bride wanted HER dream dress for her special day and that trumps saving money.
Imagine a bride whose mom absolutely demanded that HER wedding dress would do for her daughter. The mom's words of "I've always dreamed of seeing you married in my wedding gown." were hammered into this poor girl's mind. She wore her mother's gown hating every minute of time in it. After the vows were said and she was officially married she dashed into the bride's room and changed into another dress that she had secretly purchased and then went into the reception on her husband's arm. When her mother came up to demand an explanation for the change in her daughter's gown, the girl replied through gritted teeth, "Well, you wanted to see me married in your dress and you have. NOW, I'm dress in a gown I love rather than that out-dated and ugly gown you wore." The bride went on to enjoy the rest of her wedding and had the photographer do several shots over. She really hated her mother's dress.
@@dulcilass Sounds like that mother had a daughter for her to treat like a puppet and the daughter did her best to be the puppet her mom wanted. And as soon as she was a legal wife she no longer was her mother's puppet because it's the husband's turn to be puppet master. Hope that is not the case, but often happens when someone was reared to only be a puppet; they look for better puppet masters.
@@timeforchange6818 Carol usually had a good relationship with her mom. It was just that the mom had this hangup about the daughter wearing her mother's wedding dress. It really wasn't all that odd when I was young. I saved my dress for my daughter. She wasn't shaped anything like me, so we tossed it into a give away basket.
K but the mom didn't wear her mom's dress. She shouldn't have this "it's tradition" attitude
Absolutely
Mom is stuck in the past, her 1976 hairstyle shows it.
I was thinking the same
She sounds like my late mom. My mom always lived in the past and had issues moving on.
Нормальная у нее прическа,уверенна,что лучше чем ваша. И эта прическа,ей очень идет.
Was thinking the same thing. I bet that hair hasn't changed since 1980.
@@bastianabasta7221 That's just mean. If you like the mother's hairstyle, that's fine. Suggesting it is better than @rosemarykarlsson593's-who I assume you have never seen-is uncalled for.
The mom’s dress is pretty close to Princess Kate’s wedding gown. It is a classic style, but if the bride wants to wear something else then the mom’s gown is not for her.
My mom wanted me to wear her gown, but it was a Gunne Sax-style gown which was last popular when Little House On The Prairie and The Waltons were the popular TV shows. However, the organic silk disintegrated long before I got engaged, so I lucked out!
“i like lace” really? didn’t know that after u said it a thousand times 😂
Mum has chosen her dress, let the daughter choose hers. I have two daughters one recently married, one to be married soon. They chose their dresses . They did great, and I am very proud of them. It makes me upset when moms, sisters, or anybody else pushes their way. Suggest, advice and support. That is all...
Randy really said it 🤣👍🏻
Monti not Randy. Randy is in the original Kleinfeld NY Say yes to the Dress.
@@NH-tb2sm sorry 🤣 yes you're right 🤣 how did i mess up 😂
The 1980s want Mom's hair back too.
Lol, seriously, doesn't look like she moved on 😅
😂😂😂
Mother had her choice of dress and daughter will have hers. My mother's wedding dress was a classic , etui- style, bateau neck, slim long skirt, silk, no lace, no glitter, Givenchy- esque.
I love the wedding pictures but my mother would never have forced that piece onto me.
This bride's mom has boundary issues, in capital letters.
Monty trying to get out of the holes he dug. 🕳️🕳️🕳️😂😂😂
Mama, keep the dress and use it for Christening dress or outfit for grandbabies.
The mom did not wear her mom's dress, right? So why should her daugher wear mom's dress? No matter how beautiful it is.
I don't know. I have brought my own steak to a steak house on occasion. Lori is so funny!
I did think it was a strange remark, because there ARE occasions when you'd take your own dress to a wedding dress shop. For instance if her daughter HAD liked it and they'd wanted alterations, or if she'd wanted them to suggest ways she could have it restyled to make it more modern. Surely they are there to give advice as well as flog expensive frocks?
Monte!!! 🤣🤣 thee shade
Mom's dress is lovely.I would have it altered.Give it a a cap sleeve and shorten it then wear it to the reception.
Or a bridal shower, or the rehearsal. Lots of options of ways to honor mom and still have her own choice for HER wedding.
@@donnakadron3772 yes
Maybe the mom didn't want the dress altered.
Mom's dress was lovely and well kept. The bride did look beautiful in it, but she glowed in the dress she chose. I never expected my daughter to wear my dress, she has chosen her own and will be beautiful in it.
Not only is the dress from the 80s so is Mom's hairstyle. Time to move on mom.
Third dress is the bomb. 🥹❤️❤️❤️
the third dress is stunning on her it shows her beauty. she walked out in the third dress I am like she's so stunning
If she enjoyed the moment she found her exact perfect dress why would she take that moment away from her daughter? Its not about you lady
Mom’s hair goes perfectly with her outdated wedding dress.
I understand that the mom really wants her daughter to wear her dress, but she needs to let her daughter have her own individual style and embrace what she wants. I am glad she came around at the end.
See this is something I don't understand - why someone would want someone else to wear they wedding dress ESPECIALLY when said person didn't even asked for it and its evident she wants her own wedding dress
shut it
@@paloma4444what is your problem with my comment?
Sweetheart neckline, no cap sleeves or keyhole back. I guess one out of three isnt bad. Personally thought the one she chose is to blahhhhh, but to each their own as they say.
LOVED THIS...... If I was the consultants I would have suggested that she wore her mom dress at the reception at least for a hour. Her mother dress fit her well. or they could have dyed the mom dress with a bright color for the after party.
We sometimes forget we give birth to our children. We don't live through their lives.
My parents got married in 1984. My mom’s dress was actually really decent considering it was made in the 80s. If I were getting married, I would consider using the veil and part of my mom’s dress because even if I was the same clothing size as she was in 1984, the dress itself wouldn’t fit because I’m much taller than her.
My parents got married in 1998. My mom is thinking about getting me to try on her size 0⃣ ballgown with off the shoulder sleeves but I don't know if it's too heavy, even fit me or even my style. Her dress is a ballgown but I have seen photos of it.
Mum knew it was "her" dress but doesn't want her daughter to have the same experience... Selfish....
I would absolutely go with the mom's dress,it was stunning!
I never just respect my elders simply due to age. Respect is EARNED! Decent people get my respect.
TY for sharing your journey. My husband had a stroke 5 years ago, so simple and decluttered is a must for me. You just come to realize how stuff gets in the way of things that are really important.
Watching this episode,I got so curious, whether or not I would still fit in my wedding dress. I got married to my husband 18 years ago. I designed my wedding dress myself. In my hometown the best taylor lady was a lady,who also happened to be an ophthalmologist, an eye doctor. So, while she was working on my wedding dress, I terribly injured my left eye. She saved my eye and made me a stunning dress,as well. And yep,it is a real story. It's so sad,the dress now is in my mom's house,in Ukraine,and I moved to Austria. If I ever menage to visit my mom,I will put on my wedding dress, and in case it fits, I will wear it for the anevercery
Monte was very rude saying that her mom’s dress was old! Her mom’s dress was beautiful and classic.
God I LOVE Monti!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
mom's dress looked really pretty on her.
I no longer have my 80’s style dress. I donated it years ago. However, I would never expect my daughter to wear it. I feel like she should have her own dress that she loves and feels good in.
This dress is too old for you, might as well wear your moms dress, that’s right I said it. 😭😂💀
Mom’s hair hasn’t changed in 28 yrs!
Rude . Can pretty much be certain that when you are her age you won’t have a contemporary hairstyle
that third dress looked so pretty on her. my mom is thinking about getting me to try on her dress from 1998 but i really don't know if it would fit and it's even my style.
Regardless what you think, you should fulfill your Mom's dream to have you try it on. She may say 'I was wrong, take that off; we need to find you your dress'.
@@timeforchange6818 maybe, I would try it on for her but here is the problem, her dress is a size zero and it is very tiny. I don't know if it's really me. I am not even married yet but I don't know if it would fit me and I don't even wanna rip a seam.
@@anastasiaweatherspoon6111 She'll be there to see as you put it on it won't fit. It's important she's not walking around with this dream of you in her dress, so she can totally focus on your dream. Maybe she won't push it when the time comes, but it she does, please, just give it a try so she can let go.
@@timeforchange6818 I'll try to give it a try.
My daughter used my wedding dress from 1972 for dress up play. That was fine with me.
Mom kept the dress and the hairstyle. 😅👧🏼👰🏼♀️
I would ask every mother that wants daughter to wear mom's dress..."Who picked out your dress for you?". How could any mother take away her daughter's right to choose her own special dress? I have four daughters. They all got to choose. It's not about you mom.
I think the Mom’s dress is absolutely beautiful.
That's nice for Mom.
Mom should have a renewal ceremony for 30 years.
Mom’s hairstyle belongs back 28 years ago!
My sister and I both wore our moms veil to incorporate her. We both hope our daughters will wear the veil also. And, our grandmother made my moms entire bridal partie dresses including my moms so the veil is extra special to us.
Love how the mom immediately started critiquing her daughters figure in the dress so she would feel insecure and not pick it up
It's all about what the bride wants. I used to think I'd wear my mom's dress when I got married. Honestly, I've moved on from that phase. I want something like a 14th-century-style Cinderella gown. And in blue. My mom has always told me she's okay if I choose her dress or something else when my time comes. She's not sold on anything other than white, but mayhap by the time I find my prince charming, she'll adjust. White became traditional for wedding gowns because of Queen Victoria. Blue was more popular and considered a traditional color until then. :)
The mom should know her daughter wants to wear a dress thats in style.,not something from 20 years ago.
28 years ago!
Right on, Monte!
I thinkk it’s beyond creepy to expect your daughter to wear your wedding dress. A dress her father most likely took off her mother. Ewwwwwww! What a selfish mother.
Mom you need to relax you had your day and now it's your daughter's day let her choose her own dress
Thank goodness🎉
Love mom's dress
Mum loved her dress because of the way it made her feel when she put it on. She talks about how she felt in it and how she knew the first time she wore it that it was her dress.
That doesnt make it your daughters dress.
Your daughter deserves to have that moment too. That moment may be with an old dress, it may be with a new dress. Regardless your daughter should get to have that moment with her dress, whichever dress that is. Your dress doesn't automatically get to have a moment with your daughter though.
I think the mother looks great for her age but she would look even better with a updated hairstyle.
Randy ate that up 5:47
"It's traditional." Yet, mom got to pick her own dress.
Exactly what I thought!
So mom thought her dress was more flattering and did more for the bride's waist than that first "store" dress? Is she nuts!?
And, I swear - it doesn't matter if a bride says she wants straps, cap sleeves, short sleeves or long sleeves, the consultants will almost invariably start pulling strapless for them! Do they not have more than 3 dresses in the whole store that aren't strapless? 🤨
Mom’s need to stop pressuring their daughter’s into wearing their wedding dresses. I mine into a christening gown for one of my granddaughters and another one into a First Communion dress along with my veil for another one.
"I think it's classic enough that it doesn't look too dated." Oh yeah, because I'd definitely trust the fashion sense of someone with those bangs...
Though to be fair, it is far from the worst I've seen a mother try to foist off on her daughter.
Mom said "when i put my dress on, i knew it was the one". Glad she finally understood that her daughter deserved to have that feeling too.
I love the mothers dress, it's timeless and elegant. Kate Middletons dress was similar.
The train of my wedding gown became a Baptism gown for my kids and granddaughter. Grandsons were too big😊 . Asked Granddaughter if she would like the ring pillow to be made with some of the pearls and crystals from the midrif of my dress, or into the bouquet...yes.
That 3rd dress she came out in was so contemporarily basic. Her Mom's dress was so much better.
Oh, mom, please do not force your daughters to wear that dress. You may have loved it, but your daughters are individuals who have their own style. With your behavior, it proves that your daughter should have left you at home.
I am beginning to dislike this mom for her selfishness.
Her mom's dress is really pretty on her. I wonder if she had it altered to have an open back and cap sleeves if she would have given it a little more consideration.
Moms need to stop trying to relive THEIR wedding day by hijacking their daughters' wedding day.
Mom’s dress is actually nice, that doesn’t meant the daughter needs to wear it. 🤷♀️
You go Monty..❤😊
i honestly love the moms dress 😭
I loved the moms dress
Mom had her day let the daughter have hers you should be able to wear what she wants
Mom’s dress is the only thing dated. Mom’s hair is scary dated!😮🫣
i really love the 80s dress 😅
She looked beautiful and different in her mom's dress and like every other bride in a belted dress in her modern dress. She was still young enough to want to look like everyone else instead of being unique. Now her mom's dress would be considered retro and fun.
I agree with mom, the dress she chose doesn't have any 'wow'. Not saying mom's dress would be better, but this dress isn't anything special.
Surely the only opinion that matters is the bride's?
Mom still in '80s liker her hair style 😅
@5:55
There’s a clear difference between “respecting” and “obeying” your elders. It’s the Bride’s special day, not the Mom’s second chance at another wedding. The dress was old and dated. She deserves to have something new, just like her Mom got.
I love Randy
I thought that the bride with the mom's old wedding dress could wear her dress to her wedding and maybe wear her mom's old dress for the after party.
Moms dress looks really nice on her, I do think it is nice for her to wear the dress.
It amazes me how many mothers need to control their daughters and don't understand it isn't their wedding
Mom needs to change her Hairstyle too❤️💋
We have sen a few "moms" dresses on this show, but let's be honest - this one is really gorgeous. Of course, the bride needs choose what she wants, but she would not make a mistake with this one.
I can so relate to this. I had a very similar dress to the mom's, and would have loved my daughter to wear it. But she chose a mermaid style, and looked gorgeous. Every bride should feel unique.
This is so controlling
Her mom had the experience of finding her dress and knowing it was the one why are you tryna steal that moment from your daughter.
I think she looks gorgeous in mom’s dress but if she doesn’t want to wear it she shouldn’t.
Oh man that was a mean thing for Randy said to the mother or in general
What he said was rude, disrespectful and uncalled for. I don't care if he thinks he's the greatest bridal consultant that ever was, he was being an a.h. . I would have been in his face and walked out. The bad reviews would have kept on coming.
