You can totally find a $1500. I have seen beautiful dresses on the show for $1500. Terrible the staff is saying she can’t find one within her budget. No justification to spend that much over her budget for 1 day. She should have gone to other boutiques.
I think it's possible that the style and material description she gave was out of her price budget. No doubt they probably have plenty in her budget that are A-line dresses. But, sticking to her specifications, they didn't have a huge selection within her price point.
But I agree. Shelving that dress and checking out other boutiques would've been the best decision.
Of course a bride is excited for her wedding & wants a pretty dress...but if only some of these girls could see past that, how the dress is going to go into the back of the closet, never to be worn again. And they will wish they could have some of that money back for other things...
Yup, just because there is nothing in the store doesn't mean they don't exist elsewhere. That said, why didn't ask their price range when she made the appointment.
Blah blah blah 🥱😴
I agree and these places are a big rip off. My former friend got hers for only $999 on sale. It was nice too. I would never go to these places.
I cannot fathom why people try on dresses they can’t afford or don’t want to pay for. Don’t even look at them!!
When I married my husband, I found a dress in our budget ($300) that I knew would b functional: they had one hanging there I wanted but it was $800! I had gone shopping alone. I didn't have anyone to take: I took my husband to be (he had gotten paid that morning) he walked up to the counter and told them to get the dress I wanted for me to try on (he didn't let me come out of the fitting room) I did LOVE it.....he then plunked down $500 and said " I don't need to see it- order the dress she wants!) This was A LOT of money for us: he was only one working, I was in school and he was only one working and we had 3 kids: I got married in the dress I loved!!!!!!!
Really and at 28 years old?!!!
I can't believe someone would ask their friends to chip in on their wedding dress. I would never dream of imposing on my friends like that.
So not only did the bridesmaids have to chip in for the bride’s dress, but they still have to pay for their own dresses, plus everything else that goes into being a bridesmaid.
Yea they spent at least $150-200 on their dress(not including alterations and taxes), plus $300-500 to help the bride, not to mention hair and nails 😮
They volunteered and pushed her into it.
The bride and groom should pay for the bridesmaid dresses.
@@emilyflotilla931 actually one or two volunteered. maybe the others felt pressured on camera.
Bridesmaids do not pay for Brides dress. Ever....run girls
Also the expensive dress didn’t look that much different than dress number 1. 🤷♀️
Yup and the less expensive ones are very similar to the more expensive ones.
You’re right.
Totally agree!, nothing different.
Please put subtitles on these! It’s the only reason I don’t watch them and I love this show! I am deaf and I don’t understand what they are saying without subtitles.
Ridiculous, from a $1500 budget to 'everybody pitch in $3500+'.
The friend shouldn't of asked her to try it on
I think the Consultant could have been more engaged and help her find the YES dress.
My daughter in law paid 50 for a thrifted dress and looked like a frigging ANGEL. Spectacular, honestly. She did her research!
Smart girl!
I bought my wedding dress at Montgomery Ward. I watch this show and laugh my head off at some of these brides. I want the money for my honeymoon and our home.
She hates the first dress because of wrinkles, but loves the expensive dress that has the same wrinkles.
Yeah m. She just wanted to feel expensive 😅😅😅
Right??
Sadly some think just because something is expensive means it is better.
Why would she come from Charleston to Atlanta for a dress for $1500? She should’ve looked in Columbia or Mt. Pleasant S.C.
TV.
@@catladyfromky4142 💪🏿💯
No way I would help her pay for a dress…
Go to a store where you can afford any of their dresses. My daughter went to a store where we could choose any dress and it took so much anxiety off the search.
That’s why the Brides need to TRY AND SAVE SOME MONEY to contribute to the dress she desires STOP DEPENDING on your parents!!
How much is each friend expected to donate? I still have to buy my bridesmaid dress, alterations, shoes, hair and makeup. That “$gift$” towards your bridal gown is in lieu of a wedding gift and bachelorette party. So don’t be upset when you don’t get them.
Putting conditions on generosity is tacky. I think they could negotiate with he about cutting down on the bridesmaiids costs. Like, do your own make up, buy a dress from a cheaper source/pick your own dress within a set of parameters, a girls night in bachelorette party.
@@MsJubjubbird Bachelorette parties, wedding showers & engagement parties have become the norm, but weren't always. I had none of them and never missed 'em.
@@BasicYTHandle some are tradition now and brides, family and friends expect them and it's considered part of the fun (I a very glad bridal showers haven't caught on here because I think they are a bit much. An engagement present and a wedding present is enough). You can't put conditions on a gift after you give it. However, they can have a chat and point out that, because the dress cost a lot, they could do some low key, cost effective things for everything else. A movie night at home is just as fun for a hens party as an expensive champagen cruise or a trip to vegas. I would not be surprised if, after, the bridesmaids realised what other costs they would be paying, some reneged on their pinky promise
Wasn't there a dress between $1500 and $5K? This is so ridiculous. "I want this one!" It's like little girls getting married.
That was nice of Lori to give her a discount, but she should have settled for a cheaper dress. I would never take my friends’ money like that. It just isn’t right or worth it for a one day dress that will hang in the closet or in a box for years after the wedding to collect dust.
The thi g is she has travelled to buy the dress. She's going to have to pay to come back for alterations and then transport it home
We live in Canada 🇨🇦 and didn't go to Kleinfeld's for my daughter's dress. She was married last September. Her dress and veil, taxes and alterations all in, was $3000. Th (Canadian) Thats $2194 US. She tried on 25 dresses at that price point or less. Y'all need to come to a Canadian bridal salon to shop.
Or buy online or at a discount store such as David's Bridal. Better yet, shop at a consignment/thrift store or RENT a gown.
This is a boutique everything is more expensive. There are places to get dresses in the price point you said. People just want the over the top prices.
toronto has some great shops. There is a Canadian based show fir bridal that has great dresses
I know that once beading or crystals are added, the price goes way up. My dress was $1600. It was pretty, sure, but not at all what I wanted. I paid for it all by myself and regret not getting the style I wanted because it’s a once in a lifetime thing.
Smart dad!!
Always a bad idea to try on a dress over your budget.
The wrinkles in the front of the less expensive dress are because of her "extra" booty. And the more expensive dress had the exact same wrinkles! Either of which could have been fixed with proper alterations, especially as she was so willing to have her friends pay extra. But she didn't even notice the wrinkles in the more expensive dress! And shame on the staff (AND her friend) for saying she needed to up her budget if she wanted a dress that fit properly, and then showing her a dress that cost SO much more than her budget and not even telling her the price until AFTER she had it on and was out in front of her friends!!
It was also very obvious that some of her friends were NOT thrilled with being volunteered to cough up hundreds of dollars to help pay for the more expensive dress!!
My wedding dress was 34 dollars and whole wedding was 1400… honestly, expensive weddings and dresses are a scam
Well these days things do cost more. Plus backyard weddings aren't that viable for many people now with the rise of smaller housing blocks and apartment living; hence you have to hire a venue and pay for catering. However, spending 5k on a dress is ridiculous. As is spending $150pp or thousands of dollars.on flowers that will be thrown out.
@@MsJubjubbird these days? I got married two years ago. Also, it’s just about what you value…I didn’t value spending a lot of money on a dress that I would wear one time and I got married on the waterfront in a gazebo in Florida not a back yard.
@@RageRumi lucky for you but a lot of councils would require you to have a permit or rent the space. Couldn't buy a dress from Kmart here for $34. Catering is also expensive.
I agree and expensive weddings are a waste of money.
This is such a shame. How could the bride's friend blow off bride's budget even before starting? How could the bride not check the price before/while she was putting on the dress? The tag was hanging in clear view. This looks like everyone was scaming each other for a ridiculously overpriced dress.
How selfish of her to take her friend's money.
It's not like she forced them to donate to the cause.
Hopefully she will pay it back if her friend ever needs financial help.
It should have been just the one(s) who kept pushing her to get a more expensive dress that chipped in!!!
How dumb to pick a dress simple to pick to show off her booty
My sister’s dress was silk twall (sp?) and was $2000. It was from a nyc designer’s studio.
*toille, I think. What a great find!
I don’t understand when the consultants talk to the bride about stretching the budget or bringing in dresses that aren’t in the budget. If you have to work with the brides budget then that’s what you have to do. You shouldn’t question the brides price at all. That bride could find gorgeous dresses for that price at other salons.
The last dress looks like the first one. If she had the first one tailored to the way she wanted, it would have been perfect and she wouldn't have had to take out the collection pot.
Whaaaat? You can literally see not all bridesmaids agree on the chip in thing. Bruuuh if she's like that to her friends, what more to her fiance.
I think that she could find. However, the fact that friends made it happen its so sweet.
Also shop your budget
Very generous of Lori!!!
This bridal party is one ofthe most supportive and loyal I’ve seen here.
Being supportive would have been checking the price tag before pushing their friend into a dress more than double their budget
$1500 is a lot of money! The consultant shading that amount is rude! You wear I Fr ONE DAY GIRLFRIEND!
This programme shows some wonderful gowns. However, I always wonder just how long it has taken the saver to save the money versus for how long the dress will be worn for those of limited means.
Surely it is better to put a bit less on the dress and a bit more towards buying one's first home?
Or a great honeymoon.
My wedding dress was $400 and gorgeous. Granted I got married 32 years ago so who knows how much the dress would cost today, but I’m still glad I stayed in my budget AND loved my dress.
If the bride expects me to chip in to get her dream dress that is over budget, then I would consider that to be my wedding shower & wedding day gift to her. Bridesmaids have to pay so much money just to stand up in a wedding. There is only so much money a person can spend before going into debt.
This is why I run away from being bridesmaids for anyone. I was always a guest for my friends weddings no matter how close we were.
Why not rent a nice dress?
Wanting a Cadillac dress, yet only have Toyota dress money...then it's the friends who are yea get the super expensive dress smh. The ones who pitched in helped her out a lot, however, no one should have to take up a collection for a wedding dress.
This bride reminds me of something my late grandmother used to say: "some people eat salami then burp caviar" 😂I would have been embarrassed to ask my friends to pitch in. I would have been my responsibility to pay for it.
I will never get these brides who (understandably) don't have a high budget but who regardless choose to go to anything related to SAY YES TO THE DRESS.
I’ve seen the consultants find dresses in the $1500 range.
Surely they could have found her a dress from the racks/showroom or a cheaper sample gown.
They scorned her budget and didn’t even appear to try.
That said, I agree with her dad, shop around if you can’t find something there in your budget. Surely this isn’t the only place that sells bridal gowns.
Her friends chipping in towards her dress is potentially problematic, especially if there are differences in what each girl is able to give. (Based on how this is edited it does seem as if only one of them was pushing her). Plus they still have to pay for their own dresses, gifts, bachelorette parties etc etc.
I hope this dress doesn’t cost her her friendships.
This was a very weird appointment.
Let the bridesmaids chip in the extra if they think an extrab3k is nothing.
Dad at least has got some sense. The entourage is pushing this poor girl into this 5k dress. Shame on them. What r they gonna kick in? $100 each?
Each 600.
The dress didn’t even look much better than the first one and she paid 3X more and took the money from her friends. 👎
There’s no way I’d spend 1,500 on a dress let alone 5,000! She could get it made cheaper or find a beautiful vintage dress. And her friends have to chip in ?! I just don’t get it…….
Had this not been televised, I guarantee you Lori wouldn't have given her 30%
No duh lol
Dresses look very much the same.
In person, the quality of the fabric and construction probably do show. But $3.5k?
She's focused on the wedding, not the marriage.
I get where people are coming from saying the staff shouldn't have said she couldn't get a dress for 1500, but what I think they meant is she can't get a dress like what she wants for 1500, she clearly went into the shop wanting pure authentic silk yet only had the budget for fake mass produced silk. Thankfully they were willing to sell her the sample dress and her friends chipped in 😊
People don't like truth.
This is nuts. The dress looked so similar to the first one anyway , which fit her way better
A sample dress wore countless times and useless for the store for $3,500! That's no favour! What's the point? The bride has taken a silly decision.
I wonder who put this dress in the fitting room then what's the point of asking their price point
If it's her fitting room n is lined up for trial I don't blame her if she falls in love with it
It is the staff's duty to inform about the dress that is 4 times the budget
This why people like this that think this way and go over budget are in debt up to their eyeballs!!! They don't know how to live within their means, they live only for today, and don't worry or think about tomorrow.!!!
Ditch the entourage!!!
Wonderful friends and lovely Lori! Lucky bride.🎉
What great friends!
My wedding dress is $2,700 (that is total with tax). It is gorgeous, not name brand, and not from Klinfield. You can find a dress for cheaper.
I think the channel name is Hopescope. She tried AN AMAZING weddinng dress. U$500. I actually think it should have been much higher.
Um, certain people can always stay in the 1500 dollar budget. 🤷♀️. It bugs me that certain other people are told there aren’t options in their price range. 🫤
I was thinking the exact same thing 🤔
I thought the dress she loved was the first dress again
I am someone who LOVES shopping for clothes. My personal style is very important to me. Even still, i will not be spending thousands of dollars on a dress for one day.
I would have just gone to David’s bridal. They seem to have affordable dresses.
No $1500 dress.??😮
Why are these dresses so ridiculously expensive?
It’s ridiculous what these dresses cost. These places just milk it for all they can. I would never pay over $1000 for a wedding dress you will wear it once.
That’s some good girlfriends there 🙏🏻
I thought the employees were completely RUDE!!!
Why does anyone go to stores that sell dresses above the budget to start with? She went from U$ 1,500 she could afford to 5,000. She bought a whole dress over the budget.
I’m too practical. I’m like her dad. Stick to the agreement. She tried on beautiful dresses.
If the bride said her budget was $1500.00, why show her a dress for $5000.00? Greed
Yall ever watch these older episodes where they budget shame and then think about the math for inflation? Idk what year this was but im not spending $3500 in todays dollars, definitely wouldn’t be spending that in 2000s dollars.
You can totally find a great dress for $1.5k
That said, I'm incredibly happy that the friends and Lori stepped up to make it affordable for her. But the staff should have pushed back on her trying something so widely over budget (as in, don't even bring it into the changing room)
This really bothered me. That is all I will say.
Of course the staff is going to do all they can to sell a more expensive dress. The higher the price, the more $ they make. Randy has class and is really in it for the bride, while Monty is the opposite. I have little respect for him and this staff. No wonder they at this K location pushes higher priced dresses. She should have gone someplace else. To push a more expensive dress on someone who had to ask for help to pay, is nothing but greed. The excuse that she won't find a beautiful and sexy dress at $1500 is the worst.
What nice friends. ❤
Lori, you rock girl!!
Too large of an entourage!!!!
To her luck. Each one will make appear 300-350 for her dress. In thesis.
Now we ALL know about the booty magic panty. haha. So glad she got her dream dress.
Lori does it again! ❤❤❤
This comments section is bizarre:
1 We see people expand their budget ALL the time on this show, 2 Her friends OFFERED to chip in - it wasn’t her idea (which we’ve also seen on the show), 3 The quality of this dress was EXPONENTIALLY better than the first dresses she tried on.
There’s only one difference between this bride and most of the brides we see on this show - strange that she’s the only one getting unanimous hate from the comments for something her friends OFFERED to do for her!!
That is not true. Just for comparison, there is a new video with a bride being shamed for allowing her mom to walk for work and stop eating out so she can have her "dream" dress. The comments regardinng the friends is deserved.
Not all of them were onboard and it is not friendly to go from 1500 to 5000, each friend paying 600 for her dress (or 300-350 with the discount).
They are paying a whole dress for her. But hey! They are paying.
I never understand why brides would spend so much on a dress for one day. This staff is horrible
There are beautiful dresses when you watch Gok for $1500. Kleinfeld seems like a snooty overpriced, paying for the shop's name place.
You have to consider what the brides are asking for.
You also have to consider that designer labels come at a price.
You also are not considering that Gok's episodes are newer than most of the Kleinfeld ones or even the Essex one. Styles change really fast with bridal.
And, for the record, Gok has gone over budget too. And some of his episodes don't even mention budget, so we don't even know then. Stop generalizing all of these and definitely stop acting like Gok is perfect. Gok is great, but he didn't actually work there and he wasn't the consultant.
What about the bridesmaids expenses of their own for the wedding ? Gown and so forth. I won’t comment because I find the situation deplorable. This bride is taking gross advantage of her friends. They seem so sweet. Not right to take advantage of their generous spirit. The two gowns were very similar. Father is only one that makes sense. Also, who is paying for the headpiece and veil?
I'm with dad.
I cannot believe the dad wouldn't help!!
Why should he? Dad was smart and firm. Probably he’s paying for the dress.
@@mariesmith1616 we don't know that!
@@carolynrose4525 Of course we don’t, but she shouldn’t impose on anyone to pay for her own decisions. She knew her budget and she wanted a dress more than 3 times her budget.
I mean, at least the entourage was willing to put the pinky fingers were their mouths were! Shouldn't have tried that dress ok, the first was beautiful (of course it didn't lay flat, it wasn't fitted to her yet), but, hey, they actually pitched in.
REPULSIVE!!!
why come to an expensive store with a cheap budget ...
This is so embarassing, how can you be this cheap and entitled
I thought the first dress looked good.
5K plus alterations and veil.
*5k with alterations and veil.
That dress isn’t sexy.
The staff came across as quite snotty in this video. I understand that this childish bride hadn't done any research and should have taken her 1500 to another store if she had, but to straightaway keep complaining they haven't got any 1500 dresses was annoying. That sounds like a store issue, not a bride issue. Get in more reasonably priced dresses!! 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
They can’t do that during the appointment though lol. And of course they want to make money.
You trying to find more money for the bride to spend for your pockets Miss consultant
What a selfish bride
Awkward
Ridiculous and rude to take your bridesmaids money when they probably have to buy their own dresses shoes etc . Yuck. No class.
“No class” to accept the gracious UNSOLICITED gesture of people she’s known for years. She didn’t ask or infer. This comment is bizarre and classless.
She is immature and selfish
