True Story.

I love this comment❤️

AMEN!!!!!!!

Well stated

Period.

Me!

This consultant wasn't so bad though.

I wonder how many they tried on her? Would love to know

@@barbaracook7142 Me too. If I'm a first-time bride, I'm not settling for the second dress I try on, unless I have that "this is my dress" feeling. Personally I didn't care for the dress she chose; I didn't think it suited her that well, but that's just my opinion.

@@dalehoward8352 It's David Emanuel that we don't care for.

You got a point!

I am just glad that it was not stated as "senior bride"..... x_x

She is 53. Yes, she looks beautiful but you can't call her young. I don't see anything bad in his words. She is an older bride. At her age she could have had grandchildren. In my country she would have been already retired. There is no reason to be ashamed of your age, and it would be really strange if he called her a young bride when she could be the mother of the bride.

it would be nice if women weren’t categorised or defined by their age.

Oks0711 Who’s saying she should be described as young? I know, she knows, we _all_ know she’s older than the average bride. That’s beside the point. There’s no reason to be ashamed of your age as you say, but also absolutely no reason to be _defined_ by your age in this case. Especially when she’s still so young! What other people are doing at that age is irrelevant. Stereotyping people based on their age is not helpful in the best case and harmful in the worst.

And going over £200 is not "just" a bit of money, either!

for them even €1000 is nothing, like they act as if spending 1k more one a dress is the most normal thing to do

And don't forget the added cost of the veil and jewellery, on top of the dress cost.

Most places include basic alterations in the price. Those that end up making major changes to dressed probably have to pay extra.

I find that he pushes the pricey dresses.

They try more. The producers edit.

Consultant. LOL That's not a consultant. That's the dude who designed Princess Di's wedding dress.

@@terrib627 Who cares? He sucks. And he is a consultant.

And also put the bride in a dress over her budget 😪

@@terrib627 He is there as a Consultant. That is his job. He does not own the shop or design any of the dresses. -smdh

Yess it looks so soft

Exactly what i was thinking! She also wears her makeup so well bc it looks completely natural as if she has none on! Just stunning!

we need her recipes 😂

Going to guess fillers, lasers and maybe some surgery based on her sister

Her skin looks like a woman her age if they have looked after themselves, using proper cleansers and probably being English she's not been in the sun a lot. It doesn't look like she's had work done.. Sun damage is one thing that really shows in late fourties and fifties. I myself am nearly 50 and I get compliments a lot from people about my skin. It's true what we do when we are younger impacts our appearance when we're older. Drinking excessive alcohol too can have terrible effects on the skin as well, and it will show. I have simply used a good cleanser and moisturiser since I was a teenager, and important to keep up hydration and exfoliate regularly.

Totally 💯% agree

Should have*

Agree... l think a tea dress would have looked so good on her... hard to believe her age! Looks great!

Totally agree!

Exactly! He’s 67, so how dare he refer to her as older!

men

That played on her insecurities, insuring that she would be open to paying a little over her stated budget, to ensure she felt like she would look good on her wedding day. It was a way to put her in the frame of mind to accept a higher priced dress. That is why they didn't bother to clip the back of the cheaper dress to fit her properly, so she would not like the cheaper one.

He's too old for his hairdo

@@angelawilliams4239 He's no oil painting himself though he seems to think he's superior to everyone with his affected voice and gestures. I can't warm to him at all.

It was disappointing that the woman who was dressing her didn't try harder to fix the dresses to fit her better. You are right, Gok would have done so much better adjusting the dresses.

Ain't nobody in this industry like Gok 🙏

Gok is the best for sure

Dress one was indeed boring though. It being ill-fitted, I could see past, I know it will be tailored to fit her body later. That doesn't change how plain it was. I think dress one was too meh, dress two was better for a younger woman (I'm not trying to call her old, but realistically, people usually don't dress the same way in their 50's as they did in their 20's or 30's because certain styles either have passed or doesn't look as flattering on them anymore). Trying two dresses was also way too few. My suggestion would've been maybe something off the shoulder for the sleeves and maybe cut back just a wee bit on the sparkles. That second dress made me think of this hilariously cheesy commercial here in America from like the early 2000's for this DIY jewelry maker set. While of course advertised to girls, there's a part where a mid-30's year old woman wearing bedazzled rhinestone sunglasses says "It's not just a kid's thing, I love to bling!" And if you groaned reading that, that is my sentiment on that second dress. I hope behind the scenes, she tried on more.

@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley ppl dont dress the same in their 50s because the moment they try another style, they get told "thats what a 20yrs old would wear!!" !?!? how about we stop these ageist comments and let ppl wear whatever they like? that lady liked that style, why should anyone tell her its not for ur age??

Amen, love this

Beautiful comment! ❤ You're absolutely right!

Totally agree! She was beautiful and seemed so sweet. Her age shouldn't have been discussed unless she brought it up in terms of how long she had been waiting for this moment.

@@jenromano19 Exactly!!

So beautifully stated!

He,s still dining out on Diana,s wedding dress... and will do so for years to come.

Yeah, I feel like the other consultants genuinely love their jobs and want their customers to be happy. David just wants money and sees this as no more than business.

I'm thinking the same. And I found the gown she bought a bit too girlish. To me, she looks sort of sportive and I would have liked a more elegant or "fresh" looking dress better. Sorry, don't quite know how to express what I mean ...

no the dresses in Lori's shop are not tasteful at all.

He was pushing so hard to get a sale, one wonders if he was in a hurry to go to the pub.

disgusting behaviour

Im from the Caribbean and i LOVE AUNTY GOK...he brings out a bride confidence😍

The first dress absolutely swam on her. They made no effort to pull it in at the back, and it looked dreadful and so ill fitting. I personally thought it was a nice dress, and perhaps would have looked okay if a bit of effort had been put into it. Completely agree about Gok - he's a wonder.

Dee S. What did you mean by,"How were either of those appropriate?"...just curious 😊 ...also love love love Aunty Gok!

wonder why he choose such an ugly gown for the bride!! 😨 wish Gok is here at least those dress that suits bride that he pick is truly from the heart ❤️

David is just banking on the fame he gained for dressing Princess Diana on her wedding day. Otherwise, he'd never be famous.

I gave a longer answer elsewhere, but I would think there is a "mutton dressed as lamb" thing in bridal wear, too. At my wedding, I was almost 10 years older than most of my friends when they got married. I didn't choose a "young maiden-ish" dress like they did... and now, almost at 50, I would choose yet another style if I were to get married now.

Certainly not in a rush off to a hair stylist

Imm 73 Nd a life single its trending lol

I am 60 and i get married next month and my dress is a real wedding dress And it fits me stunning :)) By the way my groom is 20 years younger :))

@@dorryakgul1119 congratulations 🥳🥳🥳 wishing you a happy married life ❤️

@@dorryakgul1119 60 is the new 45, I hope it's all wonderful!

What country are u from

They always do that in the UK version

thought the exact same.. I hate when they do this

This UK version has a thing for showing the brides dresses over their budget.

@@dipanwitamukherjee9916 yeah I know but I don't get why they do that..

@@luana6184 To make more money. Bridal dresses are an emotional experience, and once a bride falls in love with a dress, even if it's over budget, she'll be more willing to pay for it. I love that Lori on the Atlanta version of the show has a rule about not doing this, and the one time she accidentally did it, she ended up giving the bride a discount.

I agree

The male consultant is David Emmanuel, his wife and he designed Lady Di 's dress, which I thought was horrible! It swamped her, the material looked creased and dirty...just my opinion of course 😜

Especially that she's so youthful!

Maybe because the entourage kept pointing that again and again

i wouldn't call them ugly but typical

Ya I didn’t like how either of them flowed. I’m not saying they needed to be fitted, in fact I would’ve loved to see her in a huge ball gown with lace. Maybe a smaller corset?

@@lillyc9283 Yes, I think that was one issue of mine. The tops were both very ... baggy.

I think if a sheer bolero jacket with the same bling as the dress was added she would have been a knockout. That would have eyes looking up and down.

Couldn't agree more that it doesn't suit her at all.

seriously, she tried on 2 dresses and half the entourage was in tears over the second dress.

Exactly, something seems off for both dresses. The first dress made her look like she has big shoulders and the second dress boob area and side boob looks awful. The bling on the second dress did not look good. She deserves to try on more dresses before rushing her out the door. Gok, Lori, Monty, and Randi would have picked better and affordable dresses for her especially for her budget.

its not a trick, its just that a veil really does make the bride more beautiful

@@Pussycatfeathers but it doesn't change the DRESS. You've got people sitting there not liking the dress but when the veil goes on they burst into tears. They're crying because of the veil and the bridal schtick, not the dress.

@@Jen-cc9xk It's the fact that the veil helps them see what the bride sees in the dress. They end up loving it because they finally see a "real bride" and how happy she is in that dress.

Same here, disappointed on UK version. Love Gok

Same, I don't even have a partner 😅

Me too 🙌 I'm not even seeing someone 😅

I am well over the 'marrying age' 😂🤣🤣 still love this show 👍❤️👍❤️

Especially when there are always alterations.

Well said! Your mom and sister knew what they were talking about. 👍

@@kyliepechler thank you

What did you pick out?

@@lynneufeld3175 a beautfull off the shoulder ballgown with a built in corset. I wore a hooped underskirt. And because I'm me and special my hair and nails were blue on the day and my gown laced up with black satin ribbon and I sewed black lace on the underskirt to peep out as I walked. Everybody that knows me said it was the perfect dress for me and I adored the dress

Have u met anyone yet? I'm 34 been single for 6 years but I'm not looking and I'm happy single but maybe one day.

They only show 2, it takes up to 8 or more hours to film this show. Then there's the editing. Odds are the bride tried on more dresses than we're seeing.

She looked gorgeous. You don’t have to wear a tight gown just because you’re older

I don’t think she needed a particularly fitted dress. Maybe she needed something with lace instead of bling. That wouldn’t be to simple and it wouldn’t look childish.

She would have needed a more elgant top. These dresses did not do anything for her, still, the second dress´s colour was good with her skin tone.

@@shalombereshiyth you missed the point completely

@@brooklynbound0 no, I disagree with the point completely

It was the 80s and the dress wrinkled a lot in the carriage

I think if they had added halter type straps it would have been nicer.

And always the same dresses

Always always always

well it's worth noting they didn't ask him back to dress kate or megan!

I think Diana's dress was hidious, to be frank.

@@irenemoroz4608 Yes, I would run for the hills rather than take a suggestion from him. Diana - I suppose within a couple of years - generally looked fabulous (taking into account 80s’s clothes). That wedding dress was truly awful, and the black engagement dress he designed wasn’t much better. Both dreadful mistakes in my opinion.

@@terrybaby6146 yes, just a waste of high quallity fabric.

Long ago, I remember reading that Princess Diana (then Lady Diana) put Emmanuel in his place when he became a bit too familiar during a bridal fitting. She told him (with a pleasant but firm tone I’m sure), “Back in your box!” I thought that was a very classy way of saying, “Let us remember who you are sir!” I miss Princess Diana so much ❤️

i hope so- but I think the male consultant is not someone I would ever trust- oily attitude and always over budget

@@maroulio2067 Slimy and phony....I agree.

Susirijantakaa That's a brilliant suggestion. It's so annoying that they don't even attempt to stay within budget.

Katiebells It is actually 200 pounds which is considerably more than $200 and then add alterations and the veil.

...and I think her sister secretly wants her to "look her age"

I see it more like she's old enough to like and wear whatever the hell she wants. I really think they should've tried different styles on her though.
