I just wanna take a moment to appreciate Charlotte's editor, because they do such a good job of lifting Charlotte's humour and content to a higher level!
Yes!! Agreed!!!!
I was just thinking that as I got to @2:44 ... that's what she said.
Yes after that dialogue I was like, I have to ask. Charlotte do you give the edit notes and they add what you ask or are they just flying solo on that? If it is the second hats off to them, if the first, gurl go gurl
I was just thinking this! Though Charlotte has the final say, I like to think that the editors are poking fun at her, and that's amusing to watch.
@@cmvrego I am not her editor but I am a Virtual Assistant and most of the time its solo. you should have a talent for editing.
While I can't defend all the cakes, sometimes it IS a client's fault. I used to work as a professional decorator and people would bring in those big fancy cake pictures but they did NOT want to pay for them so they would change the sizes, or the styles to be within the budget they had OR they just straight out thought they knew more than us so I've seen posts like that before and feel like we're only getting one side of the story there.
I see what you’re saying, but some of them were just very poorly executed… like the one with the marble fondant just hanging off the top??
Im a pastry chef and I've done some wedding cakes, and yes to all that !!! people that bring in pictures of cakes that are worth thousands and then say I have a budget of 50, what are they truly expecting? it's barely enough to cover the cost of the flour and butter.
The one that was just supposed to have sculptural icing and leaves? The final result looks nothing like it. I hope a family member made that one for free.
@@sonialinsey8083 yeah that one is indefensible, the butter cream is split too. Genuinely looks horrid.
@@sonialinsey8083 agree. I've had people ask for naked cakes before so they can add leaves or its a rustic wedding but that was...yeah. no defense on that one. The bulging in the center makes me think they over filled it and it's pushing out under the weight of the other tier which may not have support underneath it.
If a dress is listed at a high price at a real bridal store and then you see the “same” dress 90% off on a website, you aren’t getting the same dress! The old saying, “if it’s too good to be true, it probably isn’t true” definitely works here and “you get what you pay for”
So true. You can have the exact same pattern but material makes or breaks a dress and those knock offs have cheap material and look like crap.
Yeah i thought so too. It is cheap for a reason
I am watching this on my 18th wedding anniversary. When the donut cake came up, it made me smile. The what I wanted not what she got, sorry bestie. My husband and his late father used to go to a local donut shop every week since he was little until he passed. It was a very special tradition and memory for my husband. We knew we wanted to honor that memory and my late FIL. Since he unfortunately passed 6 months before our wedding. We asked the donut shop and they were excited to honor him. Everyone loved my FIL. I told them since they had known him for over 30 yr, they could do what they wanted for the groom's "cake". They created a beautiful 3 tiered "cake" made from donuts. The top tier was made with my FIL's favorite donut. They also surprised us by having a local cake shop create a model of their counter. It had my FIL and his coffee along with my husband as a five yr old. They sent a note of congratulations saying, they wanted to honor my FIL and the first time he brought my husband with him to the shop.

That was the sweetest thing I have read, my husband must've absolutely loved it! And it's cool that the donut shop were happy to do that for you guys

Congratulations on your 19th wedding anniversary. 🎂🍾🎉🇻🇮
What a beautiful memorial to your FIL. I wish I could see a pic of the grooms cake and your wedding cake. Everything must have been beautiful. May God continue to bless your marriage and family.
My brothers friends sister ordered her wedding dress on Etsy. When I heard that I was like 😬. Apparently, the seller was SUPER meticulous, updated the sister throughout the dress making, AND made sure to triple check the sisters measurements before shipping out the dress. Fit her like a glove when she got it.
wow, that's amazing. So, it was a custom-made dress?
With Etsy it depends on the shop, some drop ship, others have a stunning degree of artistry.
That's awesome, see that's what dress makers are supposed to do.
I got my wedding dress from etsy and they were good as long as you give the proper measurements xO
Same. Etsy seller made my dress and its gorgeous. Made sure to research the company to make sure they weren't a sweatshop masquerading as a wholesome dressmaker (definitely a few of those out there - they will make a stunning custom dress, but check if its shipping from the same country the shop is based because it might be being made for them elsewhere by people being paid pennies), and was not disappointed.
My nana saved me from this.. I loved a $100 dress on a China website type deal… thought it was a great idea… she called me and said I’ll give you 1k to buy one in store if you do not do that to yourself lol
Props to Nan!!!
@@erikarussell1142 for real. She also gave us a honeymoon a photographer and did all my flowers without me asking. An Angel
@@meganberry3149 Your Nana is a jewel! Protect her at all costs! ♥
Your Nana is/was 1000% RIGHT! (As usual? LoL)
My only wedding dress wish was that it was comfortable to wear all day & all night dancing. Keep that in mind when you shop. Girls gotta eat at her own wedding right?! Best of luck to you & HAVE A BLAST.
@@Digitalhunny oh she is always right LOL… I wanted an outside wedding in June as well. She called me and was like now don’t get mad at me but baby don’t you think you should maybe have it somewhere with AC👁👁👁 I will never be more grateful
Runway models are often stitched into gowns. There is a team backstage who's entire job it is to make that dress look amazing on that model, and they are armed with serious numbers of pins.
I remember there was a bride complained about how the dress looked nothing like her order. Then the store replied saying that she wore it inside out…
Speaking of foam cakes, at my wedding our cake was all foam besides the small piece we cut and fed each other... then they took the cake to the back to "cut" but really had a huge sheet cake back there that they served. Saved us so much money!
That’s a brilliant idea!
I worked with a baker that offered this as an alternative for her budget brides. I love this idea!
What an amazing idea!
This is the best life hack I’ve heard in a while!
That’s super smart!
Charlotte is right about clothing. I still have vintage pieces from the 60s-90s that are still in immaculate condition after years of use. If you buy the right style, it is timeless. Quality counts.
When I got married in 1991, JP wedding so it was very small and quick, I wore my mom's dress from 1956. It was when she married my dad, second wedding, and not white. I still love that dress! It's gold satin brocade with white embroidery and tiny rhinestones across the bodice which was off-shoulder. It's just below the knee, and a typical 1950's big skirt. It reminds me of something Lucille Ball would have worn to Ricky's club.
What would have helped some of these dresses would be proper undergarments. I wore a crinoline under my skirt and a corset to define the waist and hold up the girls.
That marriage was the worst mistake of my life, but at least I looked good!
I still have that dress, and it still looks great even though it's 66 years old. I wish I had held up as well.
My favorite skirts were made in the 70s. I wear them AT LEAST once a month and they still look brand new.
i love her shop sustainable message
I agree with you I hate waste too after seeing Garbage island I’m pissed at our society for this over consumption and waste it’s awful I’m just as guilty but I’m realizing it now and I’m going to make changes for a positive future for our kids fuck boob pads such a waste ! And whaat the hell can you even do to recycle the stupid boob pads Nothing ! Or masks for the wave of Covid lol ? Boob pads lol 😝 Yeesh!
Yes. Cheap dresses look like the green one!!
From a sewist: the modeled dresses have a lining and corset type boning under the bodice lace. The boob pads are needed because the bodice is way to sheer. (Cheaper). There is no structure to the gown without boning. Many of the dresses also require huge crinolines ( not just hoop crinolines ); these dresses lack any crinoline. I guess they assume that you buy your own. They cost a fortune, and, if you know a seamstress, they take forever to make. Some costume warehouses may rent them out.
Wedding dresses are expensive. Try getting one at a sale at a reputable wedding shop. You will almost always need expert alteration by a seamstress.
Some wedding shops sell out their samples, and they have to have samples in all sizes. They need a good trip to the cleaners, but can be a good deal.
Don’t forget to check out long white, or cream dresses at formal wear shops. Many sleek styles can be found there.
i think the word you're looking for is "seamstress" or "tailor" instead of sewist . You say it too, later in the post! My mom was a seamstress, she made everything including wedding dresses, and you're right; quality gowns have an underlying bodice with boning to give it structure. the garbage you get from wish or Aliexpress is not only horrible, polyester fabric, scratchy lace, but you often get zero boning and even dresses without lining! I've seen people get dresses made from the lining only! I'm so happy I learned about fabrics and sewing, to know when something is worth paying for!
@@ophilianecr I am not a professional, so I don’t call myself a seamstress or tailor. I just sew a great deal. I avoid the word sewer as it is often read as sewer - of the type requiring a plumber. With context, it quickly becomes apparent, but can be a little disconcerting. Personally, I like calling myself a seamster - tough like a teamster, but with skills on the sewing machine.
@@judithdutton4631 I get it, but that's why the word "professional seamstress" or "expert seamstress" is used. The same way I'd say that I'm an "intermediate seamstress". It's just a name for somebody who participated in the activity. Just like any other activities, like painting 🎨, people are "aspiring, up and coming, well known, or professional artists" but all artists nonetheless. Unless you want to call yourself _"an artist of the cloth"_ 😂
You're a seamstress!!😊 Not a sewer, or a sewist, a proper seamstress who loves the hobby and needs to be recognized for their ability, regardless of the exchange of money.
@@ophilianecr just as long as we completely dismiss the word sewer. That leads to very wierd confusion. How about hobby seamstress? I am now experimenting with historical clothing. 1930’s To early 60’s are fun to wear. A goth store near me sells seamed nylons and appropriate shoes. I am one of their very few untatooed customers. But the clerks are delightful kids, and enthusiastically help me with my vintage searches. I’ve got a few hats from the fifties. It is such fun. Vogue publishes a few of its old patterns - very different sewing methods. During war time - no zippers, they were metal and that all went to the war effort. I just don’t trust hooks and eyes, so that is one anachronism, but I justify it by using invisible zippers. That word “ hobby” allows some wiggle room. Next effort - Edwardian clothes. That should be fun as that shape was achieved by bum pads and chest pads. Even the ludicrously small waist was mostly illusion. ( And a fascinating early form of photoshop where they posed in front of a simple black background, and the photographer later painted in the waist ) yep, this hobby seamstress really enjoys herself.I am considering teaching a grandmother and grandaughter sewing class. A great bonding experience. The grandmothers could add their experience and knowledge, and together we teach the grandaughter how to create their own clothes, or purses, or quilts, ( Grandfathers and grandsons welcome!)
@@judithdutton4631 you know, I'm a goth myself, so part of me has always loved the historical garments of the regency, victorian, eduardian and early 20th century. However, as I reached my 30s, I've realized that my day to day style stands more in the 30s -50s era of silhouettes with a modern mix. Think smart, knee or shin length 40s era pencil skirts and matching peplum jacket with studs, a tailored lace blouse or maybe a fitted leather jacket. 🥰
I'm just not into being an aging goth with kitchy , predictable goth style! You know, i just started teaching my husband basic sewing skills, since he often needs to do little things here and there that I don't always have time for. He can now hand sew in a straight line without tangling his thread and I'm so proud 🥲. I'm not getting paid for it though, sadly. Hahaha
Needless to say, I'm exited for your new sewing projects!💕 I say have a great time and leave the sewer to tasteless fashion like "Jorts" 🤢🤣😂
My wedding cake would fit this category😂. I had gone through a professional and loved their idea but last minute a friend said she would do it for free. She showed me pictures of other cakes she’d done and they looked nice! So I did… it did not go well. I’m not upset though because she’d let her kids and my son and niece help through the whole thing. They all had a blast and made memories doing it so that’s what makes me happy. And others thought it was neat too after finding out the kids essentially made it lol
There's a reason why wedding dress cost what they cost: fabric is expensive, the work on those pieces are incredible hard... I can't see the logic behind thinking a $100 new dress made in China would look anything like the picture 😅
100% good fabric is pricey.
Its called false hope
I make gowns for a major bridal company. Factories that make these knock offs are only selling you the photo, not the garment.
@Doctor Doll Designs No, it's called stupidity. Play Stupid Games 🎮 Win Stupid Prizes. 🤨
@@doctordolldesigns4009 it's call false advertising.
And where I come from for physical stores is still a liability
I love that Charlotte keeps reminding us to stop buying fast fashion and trash fashion.
Me too! Honestly I don’t even watch those try on videos because they get me so angry, I know most of that “haul” is going to the trash or donation were it’s gonna end up in the landfills anyways. I think we can make the decision to stop supporting those trash-fashion brands and the people that make haul videos of those brands.
Please forgive me, a little bit of an oldie here, but what is "fast fashion"? I haven't finished the video yet, so it's explained, I apologize. But before I forget to ask... Lol
@@yay_danae_nae27 hi! That’s a great question! Justine Leconte here in CZcams has many videos explaining more about fast fashion and why is terrible for the environment and other reasons. She’s a French fashion expert and designer and I love her channel! Here’s the link to one of her videos talking about fast fashion:
czcams.com/video/0ur13KvWoWE/video.html
Fast fashion is mass produced, cheap, and is usually "trendy" stuff. I think the idea is that a trend is marketed by influencers or companies and suddenly people want to get that item. Fast fashion makes it affordable to quickly buy that trendy item. The issue is, the labor is not ethical and offering cheap enough clothes means people will just throw away an item once the next thing is trendy. The materials used AND the amount of clothes being thrown away, is so so bad for the environment. All so bigger companies can make money off of brainwashing people into buying something to feel included in a trend they made up.
I think we should stop buying all fashion. (I know this is impossible.). The industry is so abusive to women and fosters an unattainable beauty standard. It also uses sweat shops to mass produce some designs, or the fabrics themselves. To start with, all women should stop wearing stiletto heels. You seriously mess up your feet. Thank God when I was young I was an athlete and a Tom-boy. My feet are great at age 60. You will get bunions, girls! Enjoy the pain and the surgery.
In reference to the bouquet:
I didn't meet my in-laws until the reception we held the night before our wedding (yes, we did things out of traditional order. Reception Friday night, marriage Saturday). I had given my MIL the colors I wanted and the general style of bouquet I wanted and then gave her free reign to create my bouquet. She asked if she could make my bouquet, btw. As a result I didn't see my bouquet until after I was already at the reception. Luckily it was gorgeous! She did an amazing job and it was perfect. It still makes me so happy to see it ^_^
My sister did something similar- she let her best friend design her bouquet. And she did a fantastic job, it was gorgeous, even though my sister's wedding colors were a little unusual.
My mom went to the mall without me because I had to work. She found a white prom dress on sale for $100. It looked great. My parents said they would either pay for my wedding or my honeymoon. I chose honeymoon, that lasted a week. Totally worth it. A friend did the photos. We got married on a ceremonial mound in the park. It was beautiful and free. When I had a child and she was very little she called it the mommy and daddy got married park. I’m divorced now but I still loved that she called it that. It was so adorable
Charlotte, would it be possible to leave photos on the screen for a few seconds longer? There really isn't time to see some of the "This is what I got..." photos because they flash on and off so quickly there's no time to pause before the picture is gone. I haven't noticed this issue in previous videos, but several photos in this one literally flashed on screen only for a second or two. Thanks very much, and keep up the good work!
I noticed this too, even when I backed it up I couldn't stop it fast enough to see it.
Yeah, I had to rewind a couple of times
Yes, please! I HAVE noticed this previously. It’s happened with some video clips, too.
Fair request but just a heads up, if you're watching on a desktop computer you can use the "" keys to go frame by frame backwards and forwards, making stopping on a specific spot a lot easier.
@@octo448 many of us don’t use desk tops though.
If you want a cheap wedding dress, go to the department store around prom season! They always have white and off white dresses, or a quinceañera dress shop (that’s where I got my wedding dress)
If in the US yes. Not all countries have prom though
I wish I had that option where I live. I don't need a wedding dress but I need a really nice dress for an event but don't have a lot of in-store options
Here's an idea for the real cheapskates- Goodwill. Honestly, you can get a dress at a second-hand store, and have it remade for a fraction of the cost of new. I know because I am a seamstress who does that kind of work!
@@Liutgard I’m no seamstress, but I do frequent thrift stores to make cheap and cute outfits, and I always see wedding dresses and formal dresses. I actually got one of my prom dresses from the thrift store!
Most high schools in my country don't even have formal graduations, so that's not an option here unfortunately
The donut idea is awesome - We had a selection of insanely good gourmet donuts at our wedding from a great local bakery, and had a large oversized Boston creme donut as our “wedding cake” with the most amazing chocolate beer frosting. Our guests raved about the donuts!
We also had a pig roast picnic for dinner and had the ceremony/reception at a brewery, with had a small band for dinner and karaoke for the reception - I’m biased, but I think it was the best wedding ever!
You get what you pay for. I decided to have my bridesmaids carry lace fans with silk flowers laid across the front. Had a florist make my flowers. The fans had metal holders in the back.
My husband's cousin loved the idea so she had lace fans with flowers at her wedding. Her mother talked her into having a crafting place do her fans. They were tiny, child sized fans with pipecleaners as the holders. Felt so bad for her because she cried on her wedding day over how silly they looked.
I drew my "dream wedding dress " as a project in high school. Fast forward a few years and I actually found one so close that I thought my picture had been stolen lol!! And it was at JCPennys!! Not a bridal shop. I was able to buy it for super cheap!
That’s awesome!
Sounds like a happy coincidence. Maybe the person who designed the dress has the same idea you did.
Serendipitous
I remember seeing those in their catalogs back in the day. Yes, those gowns were BEAUTIFUL!
The issue is that these promotional pictures, of the clothing on sites like Wish and Shein, are one off hand made things by master seamstresses/tailors and then pinned to the model to make it look like it fits perfectly. The clothing that is sold on these sites are made using different far cheaper materials and by people on an assembly line with little to no training in making clothing (so the proportions are way off). For only a couple of dollars a day, making dozens of dresses a day.
Quite often they are legitimate ready-made, too, and then knocked off in third-world countries. As a seamstress, I've seen over the years that nothing compares to *trying on * a dress to see how it works - on YOU. I've made dresses for myself that had to be radically modified, because that style/cut/silhouette didn't work.
And *saving the cake* is a sweet-sounding but mis-interpreted tradition. Saving a regular cake in the freezer for a year will produce a dry, tasteless experience. When the top layer was a fruit cake (decades ago) it could reasonably be soaked in rum and preserved for a year.
They just steal the pictures. And people actually believe that a cheap site selling 50$, 100$ dresses will have professional pictures like that? Hah!
@@Stephanie-cl4fu Bernadette banner is one of the seamstress that got their photo stolen & she made a video comparing her dress to the fake. Her dress was better by miles.
@@nonamenoface3654 Oh yes, I have seen her video.
@@Stephanie-cl4fu That was indeed a great video!
I remember looking everywhere for a prom dress and simply not finding one that I liked/fit right (I was pretty hefty in HS lol) and my mom was like I have a friend who could make it for u. I was a little hesitant but the fabric I chose was a marvel comics pattern and I wanted some fluffy sparkly red mesh underneath. It was sooo pretty!! The lady took my exact measurements and did boning and a poofed out skirt and everything!! I still have it 8 years later 🤧 I wear it to conventions now 🤣🤣
Sounds pretty cool 😁❤!
When I got married, I went to a shop selling dresses from the last season, when they only have 1 or 2 sizes over. The dresses are unworn, perfectly fine. So I got my dress, veil and shoes there. Looked gorgeous and I was very happy with it. My bouquet was made of silk, so I still have it in my bedroom as a decoration. You can also get pre-worn dresses, they're called something like "dresses with a story" which I find a beautiful idea as well
Would love it if Charlotte made videos of two brides wearing/sharing the same dress. Could be family heirlooms as well
I had the whole 4 tiered cake with the stairs going down to satellite cakes for my wedding and 75% was icing covered Styrofoam. She charged me like 2-5 dollars for the "fake layers" but it looked gorgeous at the reception!
Awesome idea. Unless you have 200+ at your wedding you don’t need that much cake anyway. Also I bet you bought it in person from examples that the chef had already mastered. The problem with a lot of these is the pics of cakes on Pinterest cost 10k from some famous superstar in LA or somewhere that respectfully regular cake makers just don’t have the equipment for.
You probably didn't need all that cake anyways. Lol I know a lot of people who do do the big cakes, all out, but then donate the rest to the local homeless shelters. They greatly appreciate it, you should see everyone's faces light up. My family has worked in them all our lives. Such amazing gifts to see them get excited over anything.
A lot of window display cakes are fondant covered styrofoam. That's perfectly fine to achieve the look you want when you don't actually need that much cake. You still need the same skill to decorate cakes and fakes and make them all look good.
My niece actually bought most of her wedding cake used - somebody had a way bigger cake than they needed, froze the extra layers, and then sold them. She had a gorgeous, huge cake for a fraction of the price.
i worked at a reception hall and worked some weddings and several times they just.... gave the rest of the cake to the people working there
it was always so nice to be able to bring home a big slice of a really yummy cake at the end of a long reception
The thing about a lot of these dresses is that the dress in the photo has been pinned in the back or even full on tailored to fit that model just for the photoshoot, so it's not just the model's body shape that's making things look different, it's the alterations made to the dress for that photoshoot.
Not that that would do anything for the ones with mesh, or the boobpads. But a lot of the fit comes down to alterations and tailoring.
This.. A lot of these aren't that the dress looks different but that the buyer doesn't have the same shape as the mannequin or the model. Additionally a lot of the 'what I got photos' are people who aren't wearing the right undergarments/ layers. Many of those skirts look totally different because they're supposed to have a petticoat or something underneath for the shape.
Not to mention all the post-processing in Photoshop. Even rail thin models' photos get pushed further.
@@Gna_d54 exactly! The “Cinderella” dress obviously needed an underskirt to fill it out.
I’ve taken a couple of cake decorating classes and made some fun cakes for my kids birthdays over the years. So my friend wanted me to make the cake for for daughter’s wedding and pay me $50. First, that’s way beyond my skill level and I don’t want an unhappy bride. I’m pretty sure she didn’t want a Barbie or a Big Bird cake. Second, $50 barely pays for supplies. She was really put out that I wouldn’t do it. I had to tell her no several times and she brought it up later that I wouldn’t do this favor.
You saved yourself a huge headache by saying no! Thank Goodness you did, it wouldn't have been worth $50 just for the anxiety! Just like you I did cakes for my kids with the molds, my first one I think took 2 hours to decorate, of course with each birthday for each kid I got better. You have to practice and you are using tools and certain amount of pressure to make things look consistent.
The “I’ll allow it” 🤣🤣🤣 - your editor cracks me up
The thing about 2:33 is that a lot of people ignore how important undergarments are to create effects. You cant use a 50s dress without a bullet bra. And this dress would actually look good if she had a underskirt to get the puffy effect.
Exactly!
Absolutely! However it still seems like synthetic organza on the second dress and you just won't get the same soft, flowing quality of a silk organza/taft/georgette with synthetic. It also seems that the fabric on the original skirt was more transparent, hence the gradient effect.
It's a pity, the bodice is nice - the draping is usually the biggest problem and it looks fine here.
@@magdalenanozarova732 I gues she could take it to a seamstress to use the bodice and make a new skirt... :)
I went to 2 hair trials before my wedding. Neither turned out good. One of my brides maids said she could do it. We did twice before my wedding and it was better every time she did it. By the time she did it a 3rd time for the wedding it was perfect 🥰 I'm so glad I let her
I have to say the dress at 4:15 can be saved. it requireds additional beading and a bit of tailoring but the base fabric and structure is there, you can make that into a nice dress
Charlotte, the queen of petty AND weddings
Sounds like I went to the most “ unbridezilla” wedding on the planet. They did buy a block of rooms at the hotel. The more that were reserved, the less each room cost…. Score…. The bride wore a “Disney “ style princess dress. Her only other requirement was that her bridesmaids dresses were royal blue, any style that they felt comfortable in. She is a vegetarian but she had food for all the guests. Also no cake but bite size desserts of all kinds. Nothing went to waste like most cakes do. Very fun, laid back wedding
I'm sorry...but what does this have to do with the video..?
@@braids4836 she just did a bridezilla video. She probably commented on the wrong one. Still a cute story.
Thanks for hotel room tip.
Ah yes, the wish trap.... I too have fallen prey to their schemes. But I used the fabric that was supposed to be my wedding dress to make a really nice ring pillow, and boutineer. Don't just throw away what you've bought, donate to a seamstress, like a tailor. They can always use more fabrics.
Or donate to a local theatre.
Yes, if you do any sewing scraps and maybe a nice big section of beautiful material is heaven sent!
Depends if its 100 % polyester don’t…please do not…
@@rmdebora well the fabric has already been made so it would be even a bigger waste to just throw it away..
@@rmdebora I got told by a tailor even 100% polyester can be used. They alter all kinds of fabrics.
When I got married (35 years ago), I had ordered my cake to have the decorations done like a certain picture in the bakery's book, but with light blue decorations instead of the peach that was in the picture. We also arranged for it to be delivered to our reception at least an hour before the reception started so it could be put out with the extra flowers around it that the florist was providing. INSTEAD the cake arrived 90 minutes AFTER the reception started (there was a big concert happening at a venue fairly close by, and they got caught in the concert traffic), and then apparently the guy who had taken our order left on vacation a week before our wedding and NO ONE COULD READ HIS HANDWRITING! They could make out the number of the decoration style, but then just "copied" the picture, so instead of my light blue, it should have been peach like the picture--instead it was NEON ORANGE! Well, every wedding seems to have one disaster, and the cake was ours. It didn't effect our marriage though, we are still happily married and love each other more now than we did on our wedding day.
As for the cakes - schedule your appointment with the baker you finally choose and talk to them. The baker for my Croning last October was fabulous because I had trouble verbalizing what I wanted and together we put together a gorgeous idea that was perfect. It was so pretty! It was in my budget, and it had the elements I wanted. She did surprise me with the crescent moon topper - I expected something non-edible. She made it out of modeling chocolate and coated it in silver. Beautiful and tasty. The moral of the story is don't just show a picture, but consult long enough the baker sketches for you right then what they hear you saying. If it's not right - correct them then and there and don't put a deposit down until you and the baker are on the same page.
Girls with thin hair or with little amount of hair can't expect to wear a big braid like that! I have alopecia, and I know how crappy it is to have little hair, but you can't just create an impossible expectative in your mind and not consider the actual situation of your hair
We can, but ladies with thinner hair need to have extensions to remotely pull it off.
@@MollyFC yeah, but in cases like mine, who have few hairs, extensions will do nothing. It will show through the hair
Was going to say this I had a friend who wanted the big mermaid braid with chains and beads and it was really pretty but then hair - she refused extensions because it’s to much for a braid
But I’m saying that her hair dresser spent several appointments showing styles that would look nice not only for her hair type but also for her face shape / makeup style she ended up with a basic style but addressed with beautiful accents
That girl has thick enough hair for a loose braid style. The stylist should have curled her hair and made a loose herringbone braid with pins, mousse, and hairspray to hold it. Instead they gave her a tight english braid without even trying to fluff it or style her hair beforehand.
You can easily add hair pieces to updos. Ppl been doing it for literally hundreds of years and many iconic/celebrity styles use them. Aint no shame in having game
😂 when will a $100 china website dress will look remotely close to an $8,000 designer dress? $100 doesn't even cover the fabric 😂
Right? That super sheer invisible mesh sure ain’t cheap and the technical know how to sew on such a delicate fabric is a special skill
I always forget how little most people know about the cost of making clothes when I see videos like this... like honey, sweety, angel.... did you think what is clearly a stolen image of a one of a kind $20,000 dress from a haute couture designer was going to be in the $100 package from China? You couldn't buy the materials to make _any_ dress with that many layers for $100. Unless maybe you made it out of thrifted curtains and bedsheets. Like the dress at 3:52, reverse image search takes you to a designer called Valdrin Sahiti who's dresses _start_ around 1600€, and I couldn't find that exact one, but similar ones start at more like 5500€, or $5,600. If you want a cheaper NICE dress, look at prom dresses and things that aren't white or aren't branded as 'wedding dresses' (I got mine for under £100 on etsy custom fitted, but its green wool, not a 'wedding dress'), look at second hand wedding dresses and in charity shops - you might find a designer dress worn once with like £500 off the price!
8:04 -- "Rosemary for remembrance" is a longstanding tradition. I think the fresh leaves look nifty on the cake, but it could use a topper of some sort -- a little nosegay of herbs and flowers or something like that.
thank you for the super model talk. i often feel bad about myself because i'm chubby with some muscle mass, and i'm finally healthy. i was only ever able to lose weight or be in a "normal" weight range when i wasnt eating, tired, miserable, etc. i think a lot of people would feel so much happier and more confident if companies took your suggestion and showcased clothes on all kinds of body types instead of one that's impossible to obtain for most people
So true! Only some people are naturally skinny once they become adults. People having different natural body types is 100% normal. This should be reflected in fashion.
The average model is a size 2,the average woman is a size14. When they make a larger size piece of clothing they just enlarge it using the size 2 measurements. That's why clothes don't fit. A size 14 has curves unlike a size 2.
This is why I’m all for going to a consignment bridal dress store if I ever get married. I could probably find a lovely dress and have it tailored to fit me at a lesser cost. I could never risk ordering online after seeing these videos. 😱
Not to mention you’re saving the environmental waste and possible exploitative labor that would go into making a new dress, regardless of the quality!
A woman did the same thing and found a GORGEOUS dress for...wait for it...$3.75!! You read that right, $3.75, marked down 40% from $5! It still had the original tags on it and everything! She paid more for the shoes she also bought, lol!
@@kellygirlaj $3.75 is a 25% markdown from $5. A 40% markdown would be $2 off, for a sale price of $3. But yes, still a great deal!
I went to a boutique, and found my dress for 250! Loved it so much!!!
@@taraskat Oh, thanks. I'm terrible at math, lol.
Back when I catered weddings, the top was for the couple and the tiers were styrofoam with icing. They had sheet cakes hidden under the cake table that we would cut up for the guests. Pretty genius actually
You're cracking me up Charlotte! I love it when you say Stop and Hell No! 😂
For the desserts, I would totally let everyone in on the joke. I would print the photo of what I wanted, put it in a nice frame and type a caption "what I wanted vs. what I got" and place the frame next to the cake/dessert/whatever .. at least everyone could laugh WITH me!
Was yesterday out in Zalando Outlet and met a woman who bought her wedding dress there. It was a little too big, but hey, nothing that can't be changed. It suited her really well, and I learned out of that, that one can find better dresses at outlets than online
Yep! Got the perfect dress at an outlet for a VERY reasonable price. My mom was concerned: "Are you sure you want to walk down the aisle in an outlet dress?" I said, "Who's gonna know?"
@@karenjardine3793 As long as you're happy, who cares?
Can't beat seeing it in real life, being able to feel the material, being able to try it on. I don't buy *any* clothes online.
@@karenjardine3793 Correct. No one is going to notice. As long as YOU feel beautiful, and YOU are happy with your dress, nothing else matters.
I shop dresses only online, but only at Asos. They have accurate size chart and size guide, I never had to return anything because of size. Also they have videos of models walking in the dress, it is so helpfull, because on photos models pose in their best angles. On the video I can assess better whether the dress would suit me or not. I have at least 5 dresses from this e-shop and all of them are perfect and for very reasonable price.
You editor is a gem and a genius!
I bust out laughing when the panda got hit with the boob pad!!! 😂😂😂👍⭐️
Most of the dress fails were due to lack of proper foundation garments. Mermaid dresses need a properly fitted corset underneath to achieve the shape if you aren't naturally hourglass. The Cinderella dress needed a hoop or crinoline under the skirt. You need structured support to bell shape a skirt.
i'm glad that Charlotte brings waste of clothes, and environment as a serious concern.
Definitely, I think we can all get behind that 😁
Ngl if I hear that 'this is what i wanted okay, the pastels... and this is what i got' sound one more time I'm actually going to keel over
but I do appreciate the fact that you bring up waste and sustainability very often, it's really nice to see it being on the forefront of someones mind who has a voice :)
Gibby hitting Spencer with the stop sign killed me 😂
Every
"STOP"
"SHUT UP"
"STOP IT"
I'm balling 😂😂😂😂
My mom is a cake decorator, and I can confirm that only the tops of most wedding cakes are real: The bottom layers are styrofoam covered in frosting. :) This makes the tiers more stable and unlikely to collapse. And, of course, it saves money!
I have actually never made one that wasn't all cake. It really depends on your client and what they are looking for.
Got to see Charlotte two in one day. That short with your emotional bodyguard was hilarious. Love her and her sense of humor! 😁
I sensed no humor and truly believe that she will hit someone. 😳😉
6:00 And "photoshop" as well. They have been retouching the bodies on models for as long as photography has existed. At least 100 years before Photoshop has existed.
That hexagon cake just made me lol so hard
Some times (especially Wish) it's a stolen photo, and they try to recreate the dress from the photos, but for cheaps, which is where it usually goes really wrong 🙈
aaaaaand this is why I did my own wedding hair, make-up, flowers and cake :D if you want it affordable and you have some skills, patience and time, DIY is the way forward! (but for the love of god, practice in advance just in case)
When I (hopefully) get married someday, I will do so much research on everything and make sure I get exactly what I want. Look at their portfolios, people. If you need a cake, make sure they can make that cake. Same goes for the dress, flowers, and hair
People don’t realize you need to cry ONCE and buy it ONCE. I’ve spent a lot of money on things I’ve NEEDED to last a long time or something important than finding a cheap “solution” hating it/breaking it and having to replace it, thus spending more money AGAIN when you could’ve just bought the good one in the first place. Now you’re out more money!
Cry once buy once guys! Just bite the bullet and save yourself more money in the long run!
Hairstyles like 9:42 are generally achieved with extensions to make them look that thick, or on models with very, very thick hair. That said, the bride had thick enough hair that somebody competent could have done more with it than that final result.
@Charlotte Dobre with these wedding cakes, The reason that they do not meet expectations is the amount of cake (based on guest numbers) is too little to pay for that many tiers. The brides are looking at cakes that feed double the amount of people they are paying for. Commercial bakery is expensive, and no bride wants to pay double the $.
In response to the request for clothing to be shown on a range of models, this is why I supports Snags as a company. Models of varying sizes, disabled models, breaking gender conventions at times. Absolutely what the fashion industry needs more of!
The bride and groom on top of the wedding cake at 2:22 look like my son's Fisher-Price Little People toys. 😂
We had flowers that we ordered for a funeral - a really tasteful living cross. I ordered the extras for it, and it. was. awful. Their "plusing" was zebra striped leaves, long twigs, and carnations instead of roses. They had to substitute the living moss because it was out of season or something, but said it would look comparable. They were green flowers...
It was a gaudy mess.
not for a funeral 😭😭😭
When ordering flowers online its best to use a local florist. Companies like Teleflora, FTD, 100flowers, etc are wire services. They are middlemen who take the online orders and then distribute them to local small businesses at random. Its not guranteed that the filling shop has the supplies on hand or talent necessary to recreate the look. Not only that but the filling florist only gets a part of what you pay not the entire amount which is why most of the complaints for online orders is the item is too small or below value or lower quality. If you complain the wire service doesnt care, they just refund your money while the florist loses on their time, supplies and delivery costs. Ordering something thats designer's choice or florists choice often gives the shop to showcase their skills and use flowers/supplies that they have in stock, seasonal or readily availabe.
The filling florist will also cater to the local tastes. What looks nice and is popular in one area may not be in others. Let me tell you gold or silver accents on a funeral spray is not unusual in my area and is requested fairly often. A few yers ago we had a customer who requested a "blinged out" casket spray with rhinestones and sparkles.
Watching while I am in recovery from surgery. I shouldn't because laughing hurts but it's worth it 😂 I ordered my wedding dress on line and it was perfect and the lady went the extra mile to make it extra perfect with extra crystals and sew in bra to hold my girls up because they are not small 😂😂
I hope you recover well!
Get well soon!!!❤️
Much love from Austria 🇦🇹
Thank you guys it's means alot xx I hope you are all doing okay xxx
Have a good recovery
So, moral of the story, don't buy your dress online, go to an actual store where you can try stuff on.
I got my wedding dress for $20 at a local thrift store, which was such a steal, and then spent about $100 on extra fabric and lace to make it long-sleeved, since I was having a December wedding. Including shoes and jewelry, I spent a total of $150 on my entire outfit, and I loved it. You can have a wedding and wedding dress on a tight budget, and it still look gorgeous.
6:40 I about died laughing at that, because it hits so close to home!
Yes, more people should shop sustainably, but the fact is that many, many, many people cannot afford to do so. Shopping sustainably has a very high initial cost that a lot of families/individuals just don’t have the resources to scrape together. While working on reducing/getting rid of exploitative, wasteful fast-fashion, we also need to work on making more sustainable options accessible to all!
I do agree 100%! However, I highly recommend hitting a consignment store, if money’s an issue. In pre-pandemic times, I needed a nice cocktail dress for a bar mitzvah I was invited to. I didn’t have a lot of money or time. I hit the nearest Goodwill and scored a gorgeous dress for $7! It’s definitely possible.
@@jjh1978-2 Consignment and thrifting are great choices for those whom it's accessible to!
@@jjh1978-2 Not all countries and places have thriftstores and consignment stores though.
As someone who is considered plus sized we would also need 3-4 different body types. I’m really exhausted with seeing plus size models that have very very obviously had plastic surgery (i know what it looks like, i’ve researched and had consultations but the price just wasn’t worth the recovery time and all that for me personally) like i want to see what my belly is going to look like in things, i want to see how that neckline would look on my double chin, I want to see how my real large slightly saggy boobs would look like. Or when they have models that are like size 8 or 10 and can very easily fit into a 12,14,or 16 and have it be flowy and loose and flattering. It’s a real problem and so are bbl’s because most of us have hip dips and it’s to hot to wear fake side flanks people.
Totally agree 💯%!! Most of the plus sized models I've seen have "smooth" abdomen and hip areas. What about those of us that have multiple rolls in the abdomen area? I don't want to hear someone telling me to exercise.... after exercising and losing 20lbs... I now have a waist, but I also have a roll above (under my boobs) and a roll below.... and then a flat pubic bone area. I will not buy clothes online.... I must try it on to really know. Even things as simple as T-shirt or tank tops. Since I have quite large breasts... I'd also like to see more models with G-I cup size.... but small band size. Not everyone who is large breasted is fatter around the back as well. Don't even get me started on finding bras that fit... LOL!! Thanks for posting your comment Lindsy! :)
Genau deshalb nehme ich ganz normale Frauen als Models für meine Brautmode 🥰
For certain photoshoots they sometimes even have skinny models wear fat suits because they don’t want a plus sized model with neck rolls or a double chin. Modelling is a truly disgusting field.
Yes, I hate looking for clothes and seeing that the "plus size" model is size 12 at best :/ Like please show me a size 20 model and up! I just want to see how it would look on someone who actually looks like an average person.
„Schaise on a stick with schnitzel“ 😂😭 Love this ❤️
So I ordered my wedding dress from an online korean retailer...
It showed up with plenty of time to spare, only needed one slight alteration and looked just like the pictures! It only cost me $30, plus $60 for the shoes!
Please tell me the site honey:)
@@areswalker5647 I can't guarantee you'll get as lucky as me, but it was YesStyle
@@seaztheday4418 thank you, have a nice day 😊
Charlotte bought her editors coffee and energy drinks today. On point!
The cake with the donuts that were supposed to be underneath: They've been Ikea-ed. Although, the bride and groom could simply get some cheap glass candle holders from a dollar store and build it up themselves. That would work too. But, for the price they probably paid for what was supposed to be a final product, there should be no assembly required.
The one with the bridal hair in a braid with the flowers: the model one probably also had extensions in to make the hair look a lot longer and fuller than it actually was.
The middle tier of my wedding cake was fake...round cut foam block covered in the same as the "real cake" on the top and base layers...it was made by my mother in law...absolutely beautiful cake...exactly like the picture I gave her!!!
Charlotte on her soap box in this video! Bravo 👏👏 😂😂
Hahaha I love how you pronounce „Scheisse“ 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Greetings from Germany ❤
The 2nd one reminds me of those Aunties that say they can do the hairstyle that is trending on IG and then it just doesn't look the same 😅(blk ppl will understand what I mean)
Also @charlottedobre saying scheisser on a stick kinda made my day 🤣💕
You have to remember that pictures from a photo shoot have been altered, and the clothing has been pinned and arranged in a way that only looks good from one angle.
Any time I shop online, I make sure there are photos of real customers wearing the items in their reviews.
Old Navy shows models with all kinds of body types and sizes. It has made it so much easier to shop online when I can get an idea of how something will look on a body type that is not tall and thin.
You got what you pay for is CORRECT. People be expecting Oscar de la renta quality but pay for SHEIN price. Yeah...
And expect the dress to look the same on someone on an actual normal body shape and size. And as a woman of "traditional build" (Lol) you just can't pull that off.
Please sing again Charlotte! Your voice is pretty!
I second that emotion!
2:51 At first glance I thought maybe a crinoline may help? Then at second glance, probably not lol
That 1 wedding cake, and y’all know which 1 I’m talking about, would have had me fighting! I’d knock everything over in that cake shop 😩
That 1st one though, the "wanted" was _perfect_ competition square shaped nails. WITH excellent top coat & lighting!
What she "got" was coffin shape & THAT alone changes the look. Plus, the top coat AND the lighting in the photo.
Wait a minute, @7:27 are we certain that the dress is actually finished? Maybe this was a photo from the seamstress on her progress so far?? We NEED more information, _before_ passing judgement on THIS one!🤔
I will say this, it makes me happy Old Navy in Canada shows different body types on their website, makes me much more comfy ordering the bigger sizes!
Thanks Holly! I completely forgot about Old Navy! Will have to check them out. I will still go to the store to purchase though.
I used to work in the wedding industry. Majority of the time at the end of the reception half of the wedding cake is left and is tossed in the event space trash.
I wonder how many of the cake disasters have more context behind them like "I told my cousin who likes to bake as a hobby to do my wedding cake as a gift to me." and the poor relative is just like, bullied into making a cake they're not experienced enough to make.
I am totally in agreement with you! NEVER order online what you haven't tried on/seen in person. I understand ordering it in your size or color from the shop/boutique once you have laid eyes on and know it is legit. Ugh you are asking for a disaster any other way. All you can do is laugh at that point 😂
I would say even if you do order online without seeing it in person 1. make sure its a legit site 2. order it super early so you have time to try it on and find something else if it doesn't fit or you don't like how it looks
The only thing i order online are polos and tshirts from reputable, mainline stores. Something as important as a wedding dress or dress business clothing. Nopity nope nope nope!
I did order my wedding dress online, but from a respectable vintage shop. I did check the sizing chart and ordered moths in advance so I had time for alterations. It was a lovely wedding dress which suited me way better than the ones in the bridal stores.
@@TheGeekyandproud We were lucky when my niece got married, we ordered my daughter's junior bridesmaid dress on line, tailored to her. It was over $150 and was from oversees. I was so worried, because we have seen all the horror stories. It was PERFECT for my daughter. My niece was a very laid back bride. All the bridesmaids and flower girls could have their hair any way they wanted. My kid wanted "cascade braids?" Braids on each side to the back in a back braid, with hair coming down from each twist. I know that I am not describing it very well, but it held up great all through the wedding and all the dancing my kid did.
You can't "this is what I got " something because YOU aren't the shape meant to wear it! Things are made to fit a certain way. Bodies aren't meant to fit every style. "This is what I got" should be for when the delivered product really isn't what was ordered....I've been seeing a TON that are just bad judgement in style vs body type. It sucks for the brands that really are great but being called out as not. That's all🤷♀️ LOL
That reminds me of a CZcams Video from Bernadette Banner, where she found out that some cheap online store stole a photo of her hand sewn medieval gown and posted it as a product you can buy there. She ordered the dress to compare it to her original one. Basically, they tried to recreate her dress from the one picture they had, just with much cheaper materials and much cheaper labour (machine sewn, probably in a sweat shop under immense pressure to get the job done as soon as possible). So, knowing that you don't need to wonder why those dresses look like cheap rip offs of the ones on the photos, it's because that is exactly what they are.
Only Chinese online shop I buy from, besides Amazon, is holy clothing. I am plus size and since most of their clothing have lace up parts or belts attached at the side. I have been happy with every thing I’ve ever bought from them. Been using them for almost 25 years. Got my daughters prom dress, some day dresses, some wedding guest dresses, some costumes, and some under dresses that I use for nightgowns. Daughter is 5’11” and got hers in a tall and it fit beautifully.
Oh my god. I see some of these wedding cakes and OH NOOOOOOO. I’m so grateful that my mother-in-law knew someone who ACTUALLY owned a famous cake shop here in town that did a BEAUTIFUL job on my 3 tier lord of the rings cake lol. (It was beautiful. And exceeded my expectations. I had an Lotr themed wedding). However, i did order my wedding dress online and it looked nothing like the dress i ordered, but it wasn’t ugly. So i wore it anyway. It was only $60 so i was pretty happy with it. I am very thin and had pretty thick and muscular biceps and triceps that didn’t the arms, so i had to alter it in the armpit (which wasn’t noticeable and I’m so grateful). I would be HORRIFIED if my wedding “luck” turned out this badly 😂 Especially since i had under a month to plan my wedding. (My, husband was in the military and coming home for a short time before his next duty station).
I had a seamstress ruin my wedding dress. She did not do what I asked when adding sleeves and I was heartbroken, but luckily my cousin sews and she was able to remove what was done and gave me exactly what I wanted. I was so stressed about it though.
As someone who worked at many bakeries I can almost 100% guarantee that at 8:19 the person who ordered the cake didn’t want to pay what the cake pictured would cost. They were probably thinking “oh I bet I can get away with just one tier and no stand” and then they turn around and blame the bakery when it doesn’t look like the picture
If you're going to buy a dress online, check reviews of the product, check the return policy, check reviews of the website itself, give yourself enough time to buy a new dress if necessary. Don't wait too close to the wedding to order your dress. And make sure that you are able to return it and get at least most (if not all) of your money back. That way you still have money to buy a new dress
Drinking game: take a shot every time Charlotte says “boobpads”.
CHARLOTTE…you’re amazing to literally make me crack up, feel “new level of understanding” educated, and reminding us the real level of destruction buying to throw away clothes. Much love and light to you, Queen. 🧡🌻🦋
❤ your face but hearing that girl say "These are the pastels and thisssisssswhatigot" over and over was torture 🤣
Is it just me or is the editor getting funnier? I was cackling at the boob pad and the _American Psycho_ clip. Thanks for the cackles! 😂🤣 Love you, Charlotte! 💖
