the modern trend of choosing a colour/style and having the bridesmaids wear different dresses around the theme is SO MUCH BETTER than everyone being identical. The bridal party members can choose a dress in their budget, that suits their body, and the bride likes too. Solves so much potential conflict.

"OMG I LOVE THE COLOUR IT'S SO NICE!!!!" "it's a great pink!" "Oh yeah actually it's ugly asf you're right" What the hell girl

When someone says they're no drama, they're all the drama

If she can’t commit when purple is called pink, I hope she can commit when fiancé is called husband

it's so confusing that these brides are like "it's my wedding I don't care at all about what my friends feel". Like what is more important, your vision, or actually having these friends after your wedding??

"Do I have 15 friends?". I feel you Luke.

It’s ok to say it’s “my way or the highway” when YOU are paying for your bridesmaids’ dresses, but how the hell can you say that and expect them to cough up half a grand for YOUR wedding??

In my country bridesmaids are not a thing in weddings so I'm always shocked by the entitlement of the brides. The bride should pay for the dresses if she wants people to have a certain dress. Even for my best friend I couldn't spend more than 100€ on a dress I'm never really going to wear again. It's insane to me that they don't ask the bridemaides if they have a budget/respect it.

Yikes, if a friend asked me to be in her wedding and treated me like these brides treat their friends, I would tell them politely that I don't wish to participate

I asked my only bridesmaid- my sister, to pick out whatever dress she wanted in any color of blue. And that was it... told my other friends to come and have fun. The 15 bridesmaids gives me anxiety

WHY do people do the strapless, babydoll waist with a long skirt? It’s a potato sack. It does nothing for anyone’s figure.

I remember binge watching all these SYTTD bridesmaids version and hating all the dresses I have seen lol

I have been asked to be a bridesmaid four times and each time I lost a friendship over it. Every one of them was a bridezilla. One of them wanted me to pay $1500 for a bridesmaid dress. And that’s one of the cheapest thing she was going to have us purchase. I had to put my foot down when she asked me if I could get rid of my ethnic hair for a day. My so-called “ethnic” hair was my natural Afro.

"It was in the email!" No ma'am, according to you $500 was in the email and you can't expect 15 ppl to all be ok with going $100+ over budget

ok but has there ever been a nice bridemaid dress? at best they're just not ugly

I think a good rule of thumb would be: never agree to be anybody's _honorary_ bridesmaid.

I love it when these shows give off such strong 2008 vibes with the fashön and the heavy smoky eye and the sperm eyebrows, and then when you see the credits it was actually filmed in 2018 👀 (idk about the date of this episode in particular but it happens a lot lol)

I honestly don't think i could be friends with someone who valued the short span of their wedding and their "vision" over my feelings. Like of course I will wear the dress you like, and I won't tread of your toes, but as my friend I would appreciate you being budget conscious and also conscious to my body type etc.

I would rather get my bridesmaid dress from amazon compared to these

„I think she is just scared to make a decision“ Well sir, you think? the girl has 15 bridesmaids 😂

In the first part, I just don’t understand why the guy didn’t try to save the moment saying “oh my, why did ‘pink’ slip out of my mouth, it’s definitely not pink, I’m sorry, didn’t have good coffee today, haha :) “ or something. It was such a gorgeous dress complimenting the body so well!

Sales Associate: the dress has a drop waist.. Luke: **puts hand over his mouth** oh my god a drop waist 🤢🥴🤮

"Lori is definitely into small government" SENT ME

Not every dress is going to flatter every body. Various sizes and body types will affect how the dress looks, colors, the way it hangs etc. if you best friend is a size 22 and your sister is a size 4....good luck.

"if you can't get the dress just be a guest" SENT ME LMFAO 💀💀💀

Looking back, the hella plucked eyebrow look was NOT it lol

If you're so anti-pink, maybe don't pick a color like purple that's easily confused for pink, apparently. Christ.

I’m lucky, my sister was adamant that her bridesmaids wear dresses that wouldn’t break our budgets and that we could wear again. She actually found our dresses at DressBarn of all places and I think per person the dress was maybe like $40-$60, it’s been like 5 years I don’t remember. They were tea length, charcoal black, sort of 50’s in that it was a pretty slim waist and then it has the slightly proofed A-line skirt, and it has these beautiful turquoise flowers on it. Her wedding colors were cream, charcoal black, and turquoise so these dresses fit perfectly. Every girl looked good in her dress, I definitely wore mine multiple times later (I haven’t worn it recently, due to putting on weight 😫). My sister was pretty good at having a beautiful wedding on a bit of a budget. She actually made her wedding dress and veil (both our grandma’s were seamstresses so she picked up some skills from them), so she was big into making sure we didn’t break our budgets to have a beautiful wedding.

I prefer the UK way of buying bridesmaids dresses the bribe pays... if she is choosing it then she needs to pay for it.... I don't get the USA way.

I picked the bridesmaid dress color and asked everyone to pick a dress in chiffon fabric in that color that was their style. We made sure to use a website that had options with very reasonable price points. I'd never ask a bridesmaid to drop even $150 on a dress, let alone $500+.

Honestly this is exactly what I needed this morning. Lacking coffee but Luke’s commentary is providing me life.

I would love a video of you reviewing 2000's disney fashion! The cheetah girls, sharpay, zenon. I have never needed anything more

I’m so happy the whole American bridesmaid thing isn’t a thing in my country. You typically have one or maybe two close friends/sisters who help the bride with all the small details throughout the day. I would carry mints, the bride’s lipstick, needle and white thread, hair pins, etc. in my clutch, check her before she enters the church (then enter when people face the altar again) and help her to the restroom if she has a large dress. I’m not supposed to stand out from the other guests, I’m supposed to blend in and help discreetly

I feel like the "Does it matter?" is only true if the couple is paying for the bridesmaid dresses. If you have to shell out $200 for a glorified prom dress it better be something you might wear more than once.

Sometimes it feels like the brides chooses ugly dresses for the bridesmaids so they shine even more xd

there is so much shade coming from the bride. Did anyone else catch the bride say "do you have to walk like that?" to her friend?

Tbh if I was a bridesmaid and my friend treated me like this....I would question our friendship a bit

There's 2 types of women: 1. "My bridesmaids are just props." 2. "Having the people i love be an integral part of my wedding day is more important than fulfilling an aesthetic."

Bride: Treating her friends like shit and forcing them to fit into her ✨ vision✨ Bride's vision: *trash*

Girls y'all need to run from that wedding. Literally just be a guest, you'll have more fun

When Luke paused at 4:29 lmaooo the way the background is blurred with her in the middle giving that face reaction, honestly reminds me of a meme

I did my wedding on an EXTREME budget (some of the dresses on Say Yes are more expensive than my entire wedding), and for the bridesmaid dresses I had everyone buy their dresses from the same website- all white, and made from dyeable fabrics. I bought dyes in the wedding colors and we all got together and tie-dyed all the dresses, as well as ties for the groomsmen. The event of coloring all the dresses was the bachelorette party and everything worked out amazingly well!

“Oh no ma’am” sis was not trying to be bothered with that dress after she heard that price 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Julie reminds me of that girl that would always be like, “I hate drama, it’s horrible.” then proceed to ruin every friend group she’s a part of.

Man if I had 15 bridesmaids I would have just said “this color and a dress similar to this style. Get what ever you can afford and feel comfortable in” boom problem solved.

First bridesmaid group is about to have the last laugh when they drop out of the wedding and eat all the food the bride paid for at the reception as guests lmao

I mean, I've told friends that I'd love to support them on their big day as a normal guest rather than bridesmaid because I don't want to buy a bridesmaid dress I'll only wear once. 👗🙄

Luke- “I’m sorry I shouldn’t have said that” Also Luke- “but I said it”

ExpressVPN has been paying Luke’s rent since forever😂

"Rule #1: No drama." *arbitrarily imposes a hierarchy among her bridesmaids*

Purple is my favorite color and people ALWAYS mistake shades of purple for pink or red, it’s actually really frustrating. People be having your whole vision messed up

That British accent during the ad break was haunting

"Lori is definitely into small government..." 😂

500 bucks for a bridesmaid dress is outrageous. I spend 20 when I attended my older brothers wedding and it was on sale. Send a few choices to my sister in law and she liked all of them and not a single one of them was over 50 bucks. We only had a color palette though instead of actually having to dress in the same dress. Our body types were way too different for that and so were our skin tones and hair colors. I'm skinny as fuck, my sister in laws sister is a good bit shorter than me and a lot curvier. There was no way in hell to make the same dress work on both of us EVER. In the end we both found something that worked and was flattering to our body types. Think she only spend around 50 bucks too as she bought her dress secondhand.

not Luke calling Lori a republican 😭💀

Please. Mr. Luke. You have to see the 'say yes' episode with the full Swarovski skirt and "million dollar" dresses.

As somebody who isn't from the US, it is really hard for me to understand this culture around the bridesmaid's dresses. It looks so uncomfortable for everyone involved. Where I live the bridesmaids just wear whatever they want. The bride doesn't even choose the color (as long as it isn't completely white and thus competes with the brides dress).

when my mom was a bridesmaid in the 80s everyone was given the same dress pattern and they had to SEW their own dress.

Rather then get my friends to wear a dress they don't like, spend a lot of money buying multiple dresses or even ask them to pay I'd just give them a common theme. I'd be like everyone please wear blue or everyone wear florals.

In my country the bride pays for everything, which is only fair. Imagine the bridesmaids having to buy their own dresses. In the movie Bridesmaids, the shopping scene makes so much more sense now.

"It's my wedding You will do ANYTHING I tell you!!!" Sounds like Eric Cartman at his birthday party.... chill girls

I'm getting married in 2 weeks! It's a very small wedding of 18 people. I told my friends where whatever you want. It's going to be hot so flip flops and t-shirt of you want. Even my dress is tea length! I don't care about everything being exactly matching and being picturesque. What's going to make a good picture is them being there and being happy.

The cultural difference is stark when I see these videos. In our culture, there is no such thing as honorary maid and our wedding are pretty extravagant. Most of the dresses in this show aren't deserving of it's price... like no offense. Super plain, boring, dull. I have brought a detailed, full of beads, peachy dress for 186$. Spending 500$ is almost the price of a bride dress not her bridesmaids. We also don't have color scheme. Everyone wears within their budget (since they are buying). As long as it doesn't look like the bride dress, you can even wear white (I've once seen friend/family of the bride wearing a two piece white dress). However, it's pretty rare to see someone wear white so I guess everyone avoids it.

i had no idea bridesmaids and brides had so much drama in america lol. i paid for my bridesmaids' jumpsuits and blessed them to wear sneakers bc some of them just aren't heels girls and that's fine. they looked HELLA cute. rewearable too.

These two episodes are filled with baddie iconic energy like every person in these two episodes was so iconic 😂

These people don't know what friendship is, I don't see any sincere relationship between these girls. And also asking someone to pay for a dress they don't like and is more than they are ready to pay is just horrible. Too much vanity and show-off, not enough sincerity and 0 respect from the bride. Something is wrong if you don't care what your friends like and want.

I remember a friend of mind got married when I was 20 years old and still in college. He asked me to be one of his groomsmen. I was a bit surprised to be asked, as I did not think we were that close of friends. Don't get me wrong, he was a nice guy, but not one of my best friends. He explained to me that I would need to go to Selix's to rent the tux he had picked out. I asked him if he knew how much that was going to cost and he said no more than 100 bucks or so. Since I was a full time student with just a part time job 100 bucks for me was a lot of money to spend. I thanked him for asking me, but explained that I could not afford to rent a tux, as I used all the money I made for food and gas. He was cool about it, and I was still invited to the wedding. The funny thing was that besides his brother (best man) and his best friend, I had no idea who the other 3 guys were in the wedding party. Perhaps they were the only friends he had that could afford to rent the tux. We lost touch after college, but I know from a friend I still have from college that he is still married to the same woman, so good for them! FYI... I love your sweater, where is it from?

I kinda hate the bridezilla stereotype. Girls grow up being told their wedding day is going to be the best day of their lives plus organising a wedding is a million headaches, let them make decisions and be stressed.

THANK GODT in my bf's gay wedding I was the only girl in the line so he let me have free range over what I wore so I didn't have to go thru this

This was brilliant, so funny! Probably 90 percent of the drama on this show could be avoided if the bride paid for the dresses and there was no distinction between bridesmaids, but then Lori wouldn't need to comment and we need that!

Traditionally you should have one bridesmaid per 25/30 guests otherwise you might as well have everyone standing by the altar with you! 😂 Also could not imagine asking my friends to chalk up $600 for a dress to wear once... and then think they’re being unreasonable when they don’t want to pay it.

i wish luke would sit like 4cm lower because the sweater would line up with the background- how awesome would that be

I literally SQUEALED WITH DELIGHT this morning when I saw this had posted!

luke could u do a video about prom dresses? like dos/don'ts, what u like vs what to avoid?

15 bride maids? I don’t even have 15 friends....

I used to binge watch this with my mom and we just critiqued it the whole way thru😂

This show is so early 2000s lol I don't think I've ever liked any of the dresses, I just watch it for the drama

Honestly, all brides should set rules before a bridesmaid signs on. My maid of honor thought that she could ignore all my calls, do nothing to help, and still be MOH. Nope. Six days before my wedding, she still didn't have a dress to wear... Then I signed up to be a bridesmaid in a wedding that I didn't realize was going to cost me $5k... I would have told her no right away if she had been clear that it wasn't a normal wedding.

And you didn’t disappoint! Please do more!! Can’t get enough Lori!

I mean she was rude, but i agree with the sentiment that if you don’t want to meet the requirements of a bridesmaid, just be a guest. There’s no shame in rejecting the role of bridesmaid and I think it’s great that she told them from the beginning what her expectations were so they weren’t surprised and had an opportunity to say no

It would be pretty iconic if you reacted to looks from Rupauls Drag race.

I was a bridesmaid in my brother’s wedding and after shipping and tailoring my dress cost about $600. The dress was beautiful at least but as a broke grad student I definitely shed a lot of tears over the price tag

The second bride just wanted to disrespect the girls, and she just find the perfect excuse: being the bride.

I don't get the concept of bridesmaids? Why would you want a bunch o f people to dress identical? At most maybe have a common colour palate but matching dresses is ridiculous. (I don't mean to offend we just don't do that in my culture).

your're really blessing us with these frequent uploads, damn

I reflect back to both my sister and my niece's weddings and how they handled the dresses. My sister asked her bridesmaids to agree on a dress in a color that my sister picked out. She left it up to them and they delivered. My niece told her bridesmaids that she wanted them to wear solid black and they got to chose the dress of their choice since they were all of different sizes. They looked fantastic all in different black dresses. None of them went over board and kept the dresses simple and classy.

I was a bridesmaid at my friend's wedding, she was like this plus we had to pay for everything from shoes, dress, hair make-up, jewellery everything lol she gave us rules we had to follow, I wanted to dye my hair blonde and cut it about 3 months before her wedding 😂😂 let's just say I waited until after the wedding lol

I’m so happy, bridesmaids and all that comes with it are not a thing where I live cuz I’m not trying to be stressed out like that

I don’t even want to know what kind of bride I would be because I hate confrontation. If one of my bridesmaids said no to a dress or said they didn’t want to wear something I would give in so fast. Or if I was a bridesmaid and had to wear something I didn’t want to or didn’t feel comfortable in I definitely wouldn’t say anything.

We don't do bridesmaids in my country but from what I've seen online or read in books, some brides take it too far. Like, imagine having to pay hundreds of dollars for a dress you don't even like, or feel uncomfortable in. Also, what's with people having such a big bridal party? Choose those closest to you to avoid the drama and to be sure they are happy to do it. You can't really have fifteen best friends.

In my country weddings are really different and bridesmaids basically dont exist and usually theres just a general dresscode that everyone should follow, like be fancy and wear these colours if you can. Same for the whole 10k wedding dress thing, doesn't exist here. American wedding culture is so messed up to me, all brides seem so entitled to me.

My opinion is if you are dead set on having a certain dress with no input from the bridesmaids, you pay for it. If you want them to pay for it, they get a say to a certain extent.

im so used to hearing the super cute intro music with red carpet ready dresses NOT WHATEVER THAT WAS

It honestly surprises me every single day that I get to sit & watch so much excellent content on youtube, most of it more entertaining than watching actual TV. Thank you for all your effort in making content Luke!!

To me this is ridiculous, Im not from USA and I find this kind of weddings request completely outrageous ... It seems to be all about spending money and having the perfect wedding picture even when probably you'll be to worried about everything been perfect instead of enjoying your own wedding. I rather have something less fancy, try to bother my guest at least as posible and speand the money on food and a DJ

Luke! You should react to the looks from Next in Fashion !!

"no drama" *creates hierarchy*

Nah nah nah the first bride is out of POCKET. I may love you as a friend…but I’m not putting out no $6-700 for a dress. I will dismiss myself as a bridesmaid so fast frfr

I have to say as far as terrible dress episodes go, this one was one of the best. Well done HauteLeMode!

“I can’t believe they even - have that in the store 😳” cryingggg
