Really?? 😳

Same here!

with you on that - why do they always pull dresses that are WAY WAY over the brides budget? Thats so disgusting....

Wow Interesting that they are getting sued.

Now I know why I have never had the desire to go to Beverly Hills. Ever.

Or Vera Wang

Truth

Kleinfelds exudes class. These Beverly Hills babes just don't have it.

@@cynthiamcgowan4147 💯

@@arribaficationwineho32 got to agree Vera Wang has incredible gowns

I agree on that one

That is the first thing i said, along with, is this show for real???

Aunty Gok is so nice but a bit tiresome. Still the dresses are within reach which is what I like.

@@lauralalande2184 f

Agree there Gok and Randy are the best , these are ugly and over priced

I love it when we speak French!

She’s an awful consultant. Just watched an episode where the bride’s budget was $3,000 & she brought three dresses over $6,000 just because the mother said she’d stretch the budget a bit for the right dress. And her attitude sux

but it's so hard not to argue, these are really mental

Oh, what a nice classy word something very unusual to see and hear nowdays .👍

😂 Weird staff is very spot on.

The dresses are so so horrible and not worth a high end shop. Blah.

Provincial England is an entirely different world.

I prefer the UK versions, but gosh Kleinfelds are so much better too. These dresses are all ghastly.

Jo & Al are fabulous. Such kind and caring ladies.

I wouldn't take that dress for free.

@@BasicYTHandle me either!

Happy Halloween

American culture dictates white on your wedding day. They have that blue dress in other colors 0:45.

I like the blue dress.

Well with that blue dress she told her upfront that it was WAY ABOVE her budget. The bride wanted to try it on for fun

They're on commission.

And yet - the first dress that the bride tried on (that the consultant pulled) was 53% above $3,000 budget.

Why didn't you say about the White chick racist

Exactly

Great idea!

There can be hugely differing quality and cost between one tuille and another but even if all hand stitched ( which I doubt many are ) most pre made veils come from China and cost very little…it’s common for bridal salons to buy basic veils and add details to match a dress so there is obviously an added cost but when you compare cost of fabric etc to a bridal gown , most veils are definitely over priced ..when I was a florist we saw some horrendous stiff scratchy veils people had made themselves trying to cut costs , but by getting very poor quality tuille instead of a bridal quality tuille they really messed up the look they were wanting to achieve …better to get a slightly better quality tuille and gently handwash it before using to remove the stiffening products then carefully iron between two layers of white fabric to remove wrinkles or use a steamer ( steamers are also great to liven up squished silk flowers that would otherwise look rather sad ) if possible cut with good quality , long bladed shears to avoid a jagged finish especially if not hemming the edges……..if you choose an organza or similar fabric it is vital to do a finished edge or it will fray terribly…but if you’re prepared to put some time in you should be able to make a lovely veil for a fraction of the cost a bridal store would charge you .

That's so true

I made mine too, and edged in lace😊 💐💐

@@beckyluvstoscrapnsew My mother was married in 1953. A beautiful, simple, elegant satin dress with buttons down the back etc., the fabric was gorgeous. But her veil - had deep Alecon lace all down the edge - a Madonna Veil. She did not know where it was when I got married or I would have used her veil in some fashion. I wore a tiara with marquis shaped stones to match my engagement ring and wedding band with a blusher and Church length veil and train.

That bride bought one less expensive dress because her fiancée’s daughter was getting married. I swear she bought the other one to prove she had deep pockets. I lost all respect for her when she came back. JMHO, nobody needs two dresses!

@@eileencervantes2745 right like wtf and 2 ugly ass dresses

Perhaps she should wear them both at the same time

@@eileencervantes2745 sorry going to have to disagree, she was pressured by guilt and the consultants into the one she brought you could tell she and her friends liked the one she came back for much more then the one she first purchased.

The first dress looked too old for her, but the second one looked too young 🫤

That consultant always seems to do that

Rude

Right! Wth like why..total sales tactic

and way too expensive

And $17,000. That's just insanity

The skirts look like a pile of sheets stuffed into a laundry basket, pulled out, unironed and stitched to the bodice.

I actually like it. Well the top part anyway. It would look fabulous in silver or white.

@@MrsSlocombesPuddyCat Yes, the top part is good. It's the skirts I dislike.

Girl she really thinks she is THE CLOSER of the sales 😰😰🤣🤣🤣

@@marianavieira342 I always laugh how on these shows the brides come in (mostly) with no clue as to what they like or even how to describe a style or fabric etc. Then they let the store staff choose a veil! I know I am extremely specific about my taste, decorating etc. My sister-in-law (I had both sister-in-laws as my bridesmaids, I have 3 brothers no sisters) and she said she asked the girls to wear pearls, the other sister-in-law didn't care at all and that I would be doing everyone's make up, ha ha. She is right! I didn't do their make up but paid for their hair to be done in sausage curls, because I designed the bridesmaids dresses to be from the 1890's and made lavender ostrich feathered fans for them to wear with their silk taffeta lavender gowns and lavender silk taffeta gloves, ha!

PTSD........that is funny.......yet sad.......yet so truthful..........its like enough already with the poppin out routine and poppin out the champagne

Early 2000”s I think. It has been a while.

I mean this show is like 20 years old

Oh man…I thought the same thing. 😬

Thank goodness! I thought it would be impossible for these dresses to be current. Are we sure it's not the 80's?

agreed

Those heavy tufted and gathered gowns make the brides look older. Yuck.

Exactly! All are the same, layered, crumpled, tufted, ruffled, fancy dress costume like and super expensive...all yes to the dress are so pretty especially Lancashire

@@hayatmir9307 Gok's the best!

The dresses all look like they have doonas wrapped around them and at ridiculous price tags, so outdated, embarrassing.

Because the producers of the show know it adds drama! It’s all fake.

I wonder how many leave with no dress. What they have to offer sucks. The dresses look cheap. Do the brides not know there are better options out there??

@@heatherg1706 True

Spill the tea for why?

@@FenrirTheWolf01SHORT STORY: Old Renee screwed several of her seamstress employees out of their wages. They took her to court. Renee lost. Then she refused to pay the court ordered judgment. So the lawyers went back to court and got an order to sieze ALL HER MERCHANDISE. The sheriff came and closed down the deadbeat b!tch's store. It's all on the internet if you want all the details.

@@AFAskygoddess wow lol. well that’s what happens when you’re obsessed with money and greedy

@@AshleyRachelleArts yes it is SMH

Interesting! Without knowing any of this I never thought this was a classy shop nor does the proprietor have any class at all. She did come across as a greedy money grabber!

Yes. It was a bit odd. Almost like they couldn't decide on the design out of 5 dresses, so just used all 5. It was a mishmash of styles and made me feel dizzy.

His event space, LA Premiere, probably gets a lot of wedding business sent his way by Renee (and vice-versa), so his "surprise" apearances are welcomed/tolerated by the equally-phony shop owner.

He did Lisa vanderpump from real housewives daughters wedding

I think he’s cruising for customers.

I think he is some wedding planner or hv event management company something like that. He said it in one the episodes. So he is probably there to lure brides.

I had to know too so I searched LA Premier and what do ya know? Kevin is the owner and he was still in business as of September, 2021. Renee Strauss is no longer in business.

Why was it seized Oh my

@@TheRonnaLynn an earlier comment basically said that she screwed over her employees & seamstress with their wages & they took her to court, she lost but refused to pay after court so her shop got seized & her merchandise got sold to pay off her employees

@@sapphirerauscher7553 unsurprising

It is part of the sales pitch to put the bride in a dress that they think she will hate. It creates more of a fervor. It is a type of sales manipulation. They do it on purpose at many salons and at in other industries also.

I was shocked when she forces her to go out and show it to her entourage

This place always does this. Guess ok if live in Hollywood You really don't go to places like this with low budget that's for David bridals😁

The way the consultant is making faces... so damn unprofessional.

But he's honest I rather have truth. Its a hideous dress!

@@gailpopehn9221 Yeah... I didn't like the dress...but nobody asked his opinion. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If she loved it, she should have been able to buy it without criticism from a stranded. All her fiends liked it. It needs to be sold...and there was a happy paying customer. He needed to keep his opinions to himself, as a professional, unless asked for it. Would he be happy if. Renee came into his shop while he was selling a $12,000 bouquet to a bride and the bride was happy with it until Renee burst into I asked for insults on his work...and cost him the sale. That would unprofessional. He was damaging and I professional,even though he was honest in his opinion.

Exactly!

He kept her from being a laughing stock. It would have marred her for life. To bad he doesn't buy & burn go Kevin!

This looks 20 years old. Like from the early 2000's maybe I am wrong but that is what it looks like to me.

It's hideous

That dress is still being shown at Wedding Fashion Week but in a champagne color. No idea if anyone ever bought a blue one.

@@13FallenAngela I thought so too but it was actually shot in 2011!

I thought still needing to be Daddy's little princess at over 60 was a bit sad...

Its so sweet that she's so close to her dad, I wish she could've had this moment with her princess dress while her grandma was still alive too.

Permanently closed 2011

Maybe it’s just to be cringe…

Me.neither he's ridiculous lol

Right

I didn’t want to say, but they are HIDEOUS 😬🫢

Exactly

I agree. Most of them are heavy on the eyes and stick to a old-school style. They are beautiful but look super layered

I made mine for less than 30, just had to hem the edge and attach it to a comb thing so it could be secured in my hair. Got lovely material for cheap and it matched my handmade gown perfectly

It is more special, because your mother made it! Yaaay Mom! My mother's veil had a wide border of Alencon Lace, but sadly for me she did not know where it was!

Parents that shell out $150,000 on a reception can afford a $10,000 wedding dress.

@@celestebivin1659 they're obviously Filipino so the reception is because of the amount of family members that are going is the reason why 🤣🤣 big family so lots of money will be spent.

Or Bridals by Lori Atlanta 😽🙏

Yes and they really make efforts to find the dream dress for brides

Yes. I think it lovely too.

Such foul language for supposedly a good Catholic girl! Makes me ashamed to be from Seattle.

@@arosencrantz18 I was raised in Aberdeen, Wa but haven’t lived there for 37 years…..I’m also ashamed that she’s from Seattle even though I live in Colorado!

But the fact that she bought 2 dresses is ridiculous! Also, I think it was great that they added material over her arm, but I would have used the same material as the dress with the same beading, no chiffon!

It first aired in 2011

I am going to guess maybe early 2000's

@@13FallenAngela no guessing needed... a simple Google search tells us that IT FIRST AIRED IN 2011.

Her shop was seized in 2011 so my guess would be early 2000

I think it’s an old show - i don’t think these were ever in style. I think this dress shop sucks.

Too expensive!!!!

I’m 66. She was 63 at the time of shooting. How old are you, if you don’t mind my asking? I appreciate that this bride actually has a natural face. Wrinkles around the eyes, quiet makeup (especially for BH).

@@HeronCoyote1234 That face is not natural. Like u said, it's BH..plastic surgery.

Seventeen THOUSAND dollars?! I wouldn't pay 17 cents for it.

I watch the European bridal runway shows and the dresses are so much prettier. Remember that a lot of brides marry in a house of worship. Some of these dresses are so in appropriate

Yes! Hideous...

Shut up Kevin!

And she says: they are spending $150k, what's $10k? People have priorities

Seriously. Probably Half of Them are Divorced.

I am now thankfully divorced! Ha ha

I hate drapy looking dresses yuck

Entitled?

Even if I had the money I could never soend that much for a party. Good Lord buy some real estate or give to a dang charity. Sigh

@@KC-ve8qz I don’t think anyone would easily give $150k to a charity. Many popular charities only donate about 20% to those in need. The rest goes to “operating costs” aka lining their own pockets. I’d much rather invest in real estate, give to my own family members who may be less fortunate, travel, save for my future kids
