I want to spend less on my dress and on my wedding so that I can spend more on my food 🤣

@@noelsmaison685 Food and drinks are some of the most expensive things you will pay for when getting married. Especially if you pay for a full bar.

Yes!!

I want to spend less on both so that I can spend more on getting a house to live in after the reception. 🙃

Right. If ever I got married I would love to have a simple and intimate wedding. Garden or beach wedding. Family and close friends only. Sometimes simplicity is enough.

Well put! 😊

AMEN 👏🏻

Exactly I have loved lace and pearls since I was a little girl. And it might look too old on me, but that is my taste, who cares. She should also go for whatever she wants

Agreed!

Finally someone said it 👏🏽

I didn't know this kind of specialized shops existed. It's a very good idea.

@@mayamorabito1669 there are usually shops like this in Roman chatolic churches/religious sites that brides donate to sell for profit given to humanitary causes.

@@LadyNikitaShark oh! This is completely new to me. I think it's beautiful that someone else could use it instead of it sitting in a closet (then again you may want it to become family heirloom?). Anyway it's beautiful and generous.

@@mayamorabito1669 Agreed. It makes a refreshing change to the bridezillas on the US version. Its one day!!

Hi I didn't like your comment because it has 999 likes and it's so cool

Actually, Ithink the dress she actually got was even more youthfull/playfull, so it is all a matter or perception. Good for her for getting it, although I fear she might have not, if someone have called it suited for younger brides. She looked beautifull.

@@Wriwnas1 I agree, that dress looked much more youthful to me as well - I just think it's sad that she could not go for the dress because SHE wanted to, but rather because of the whole "suited for a younger bride" debate.

@@junimondify Yeap! I agree with you.

Well said!!💙💜

Yes! You are so right

My thought exactly, though in England we would say “full stop” because you’ve come to a full stop. That pink one looked like my mum’s friends bridesmaid dresses.

Seriously!! That pink one he showed her... Dear God

Her budget was only $500 though so can't really blame them

Those dresses were hideous!!!

Only hideous in your opinion . others have opinions of their own

The only one I really find kinda strange was the one with the pink belt. That looked more like a costume dress. The rest seemed decent.

S Kitty Your opinion doesn’t matter for her wedding though, if she doesn’t like them she shouldn’t wear them. Also “decent” isn’t good enough for most brides.

I was answering someone else who said they were hideous. I never said I had any power over what the bride chose. I actually liked what both brides in this episode picked anyway. Chill my guy.

S Kitty Oops now that I re-read my comment I realized how rude that sounded, sorry it’s just I have a problem with always seeming like I’m talking with a condescending tone when I translate my thoughts into text lol

It’s all good!

Omgg yes I watched that too !! The bride was so spoilt and took a dress from 2600 like that's alot if the budget was 500 !!

I wonder if this was a special sample sale they don't do year round?

@@pinkham4corgis yeahh me too bc wow the dresses look good tbh but less than 500

@@pinkham4corgis Charity shop

They wee at a store without $500 dresses.

All he says is scripted. The producers write what he has to say. So it wasn't really his fault

Because her budget is so low, he won't say that if the budget is unlimited.

Gok is the best

Well David always offers the out of budget dresses to brides regardless of the budget. He pushes brides to go over budget and always shows the hideous dresses

@@maryamnaveed2392 true that's it's scripted. That being said I wonder if he's objected to any of the lines.

I know: particularly that the one the second bride chose. It looked so deceptively simple yet chic and expensive. True elegance like that isn't cheap. Even at US$3000 it's not bad value.

Exactly

If you go for old colections or unknown marks/designers they are not overpriced.

But these dresses are all marked down drastically! The last dress was originally $3,000. So the fab look still originally cost big prices.

Omg can you imagine Gordon doing a wedding show!! Haha

Sameeeeee idk whyy tho

😆

Honestly, same.

Same here!

that really depends on the person. i myself dont like the long ones. i think my ideal would be the elbow length

@@marleenb2979 I don't like the long cathedral veils much

I don't think its the problem that it's tiered, the edge is too harsh. If it had a softer edge it would look more elegant.

He keeps putting them on too high as well! They sit so much nicer when they're on the back part of the head instead of on the crown...

I had a cirque veil on my wedding day and it was placed quite high since I had a high bun. When the blusher part was pulled over it hit right at my waist and cascaded over my shoulders. After it was pushed back, the layers just flowed down the back so beautifully. I actually didn’t take it off all day and night which most brides do but I couldn’t part with mine. It’s all in how the veil is cut! For all you ladies in America, the veil is from Anthropologie’s bridal line bhldn. I think it’s bhldn.com. No I’m not affiliated or anything lol but it is a beautiful veil!

If you rewatch the video and listen you will hear them discussing that this is a charity shop with donated gowns. Proceeds go to charity. David and Gemma hopefully donated their time.

First dress weren't boobeys hanging out?

You again?? 🤗😂

@@roumaissar7698 haha nope 😅

@@lolareh8756 😂 no wonder, if he was responsible for the pennies he'd inflate the prices

He's terrible and judgy.

His design of Diana's dress was woefully wrong, it was a fabric that should have never creased the way it did, l have no idea how he got away with it. Yes l am a dress maker.

yes, the way he said "such low prices!" with disdain...

@@robynrowe8305 yes... he,s been dining out on that fact for about 40 years... his only claim to fame....

@@rumblefish9 he's full of himself.

She could dislike as many dresses as she liked. She was paying. He wouldn't have said that if it was, a 10,000 pounds dress.

I'd hate it to be him. He lacks empathy, that personal touch. Seems to look down on people. And he made that awful skirt on Princess Diana's dress that looked like she'd slept in it. Said they'd forgotten to take into account the huge size of the train, and the tiny carriage, when deciding the material

Agree! I think he only see his clients with a dollar sign on his eyes. More money, better treatment 😑

And tact...

@@jacqueline8559 could you comment a link to a video about the Princess Diana dress? Everyone seems to be talking about it in the comments whilst I'm lost cause I've never seen it lol

He is condescending and does not listen.

Annnnd it sold for lower

They are either second hand or designer donations sold at a Charity shop Oxfam!

@@emilywilliams363 or last year’s samples.

Yea

Makes me feel good that I’m not limited with a budget of $1000, not that I live in UK

They don't. You couldn't make these dresses at these prices, you couldn't even buy the fabric. These dresses are all used, and have been donated to the charity shop by the brides who bought and wore them first. Then, the charity shop, having gotten the dresses for free, resells them at very low prices. So you're right, it is a wonderful service. But dresses of this quality aren't being, and _can't be_ manufactured at this price. Hence, you're lucky if you've a service like this in one of the charity shops near you.

@@MissJessyeNorman They did say that some of the dresses were samples from last season - not already worn - and the second bride's dress was donated by the designer. This shop belongs to Oxfam, a huge multinational charity.

@@MissJessyeNorman What's wrong with wearing a vintage dress?

Yea stupide

@@starsarepretty550 not stupid, just getting old, he did design Diana’s Wedding Dress, maybe Gok should do both the U.K. and Lancashire versions.

That is just for the audience reaction dear, to keep viewers involved. lol

alot of times "age appropriate" is misused and women dress themselves so old fearing someone will call them out for what they wear, just like the mum did unnecessarily. Dont let shallow ageist rules dictate what you wear.

Exactly what i think!!

@@ratihrakhmawati3697 I mean, he gave her a dress way under her budget so....

I can't believe she looked so beautiful in the first dress but they told her that her cousin would look great wearing it instead but not her. That first dress was completely "age-appropriate" for her. She looked so lovely. She shouldn't have listened to her Entourage. They made her think she was supposed to look plain and boring bc of her age. Terrible! And you can tell she's not even old!?

I get especially annoyed with that “mutton dressed as lamb” comment. Wow. That’s nasty.

Or the other stereotypes… the bride planning her second or third wedding…

Omg you’re right it was great optic choices from the show producers & execs. This appeals to an even bigger audience

I thought the same thing. Gorgeous.

Me too. Honestly, I've never really been impressed by any of the dresses on this show bit that one was truly special. Classy and unique.

Agreed! I don’t know why more brides don’t go for the simple and elegant look. It’s so beautiful

Got that right! ... total waste of money to pay thousands IMO

Yeah but let's not judge women who want to spend more on it. They might be rich or just right financial planning so that they can have their dream dress. Some women just want their D-Day to be special for them. It's like a celebration of their love and life.

@@taiyabazaheer9492 Please don't call it their "D-day"

@@Ashford369 - What does that mean? D-Day? I've ony heard it as a WWII reference.

I spent 200 on my dress. It was exactly what I wanted. Couldn't be happier. Sometimes my mouth drops when i hear the prices on some of these shows.

Agreed 100%. I bought my dress pre-owned for about $400 (new it would have been $2100-$2700) and it already had a bustle added and was fitted to my measurements so didn't need any additional alterations. It was one of the best wedding decisions I made!

You have good taste. Expensive ones, look no better..

David is the best.

Me too ! :) But I really value simplicity an elegance in fashion and those are often prices according to the quality of material, not amount of bling and drama :P :)

They could have been very expensive when they were new. You will get better quality for your money when you look at used clothing. If I paid full price new for everything in my closet, I’d be broke lol

You only wear it once why pay a fortune if you don’t have to!!!!!!

I know right and it accentuated her most strongest feature , her shoulders

I would never wear this dress bc is not my style. But it looks gorgeous on her! Simple and elegant! Nice to see that didn't cost a small fortune...

Ur display is so pretty 😭😍

yeah, and a bit of keira knightley - she's so beautiful :)

@@Katharina25 Yesss!!!😊

Now that you mention it .. yeah 👍

I was thinking Hilary Swank, but I see Winona Ryder as well. And yes, she's so pretty. Did anyone think the cousin looked like Reese Witherspoon? She was gorgeous too.

Yessssss

But for ONCE it was a nice one and complemented the dress perfectly - usually I hate the belts they always add!

Simone Gisler I agree 100%

🤦🏽‍♀️🤣$$$, Finally the belt was not too much👌🏾

Yessssss they didn't ask her to stretch the budget and I am so happy!

These dresses are at a charity's shop - Oxfam is the charity. Most are used and donated; some are never worn samples.

It's not "this place" that's horrible - it's these people. David Emanuel surely has no credibility after that awful dress that he put Lady Diana Spencer in on her wedding day. How can make someone who became so chic and stylish, look so frumpy.

At least Kleinfeld’s never pulls a dress over the budget! On the plus side this is the first show I’ve seen with attractive dresses at these astonishingly low prices.

@@pandorabox8094 Wut her wedding dress was Gorgeous what, I didn't know some people didn't like it

I didn’t even know they had dresses for that low price!

Oh ok that explains it 👍👍

so, are the prices low because the dress has been worn before ? or are they just initially cheaper ?

@@linahussain8818 I'm not an expert in how it works of course, but I assume that like other charity shops that just sell normal clothes they will have been worn before yes! But I'd guess there are dresses that haven't been worn but have just been donated to the shop by the brides or designers

That's so sad ....

@@janeeyre80 ????? What is sad?

77x7dd8l

Everyone should go to Gok honestly. The dresses+the customer service 💯

It's a charity shop - not his store - so all the dresses have been donated as unworn samples or from brides.

@@dsquared1950 ohh no wonder!!! Bc usually they so expensive by him .

This is a “special” episode- they’re filming at at charity shop not the usual designer boutique (Oxfam is a charity and their charity shops are very common in the uk) I saw the episode you’re referring to, and it did annoy me too as there are definitely stunning dresses at that boutique for closer to the £1000 mark, I really annoys me when they don’t respect the brides budget... however, I also kind of felt that bride (and others in a similar financial position) were seriously looking in the wrong place for their wedding gown! She needed to go to a different store more in her price range which would have had equally beautiful gowns that are just a bit differently made to fit a different budget. You can definitely get an amazing wedding dress very cheap if you’re happy to compromise a bit, honestly more brides should be more open minded to buying second hand or from other places than just expensive bridal boutiques, especially if you have a more “typical” or average figure, so things tend to fit you easier. I’ve seen the most stunning brides in dresses that cost as little as £100. So, in this episode, since this is a actually a charity shop with a special wedding dress focus, the dresses are mostly second-hand used donated dresses, or new cheaply made dresses, or older dresses that stores can’t shift as they’re out of style, or with minor faults or were used frequently as sample or try on dresses etc... So not quite the same as buying a brand new designer dress in a top bridal boutique which comes with a higher price tag. Lots of brides donate their dress after their wedding so another lady can get their dream dress at a fraction of the cost. I donated my own wedding dress because I wanted someone else who couldn’t afford it to be able to enjoy the dress on her wedding day as much as I did, and what’s the point of it just sitting in a closet for years when it’s only been worn for a day.

@@birdwithabrokenwing Oh, I see, that makes more sense, lol she should definitely have looked at a less known bridal shop for better dress options

Maybe she got it at a bargain 😂

Likely a fake one you can buy at any market on holidays nearby 😂

She might be someone who's big on cost-per-wear. I like nice things, but I would have a very hard time spending hella money on something I know I'll only wear once.

@@HighMaintenanceMinimalist !

Its a charity shop not the usual bridal salon.

There a show based in the US aled I found the gown which focuses on budget dresses that have been reduced, similar to syttd

Consignment shops have low prices. That's where I got my wedding dress for $150. Yes, it was someone else's before, but I didn't mind that.

I love simple dresses. A fancy veil with the simple dress makes her look like a sophisticated bride.

Are you joking ??? He wasn't horrible in this video but they made this video just to try to redeem him from how awful he normally is. LOL

Too 80s!

Of course, sweetie. You're going to meet and marry a wonderful man.
