Every girl dreams of their wedding day. They know exactly how they want that special day to go. The wedding dress is probably the most important detail of that day. You either look at dresses on Pinterest or you watch way too many episodes of "Say Yes to the Dress." After watching about five or six episodes you know every single neckline and you know who Pnina Tornai is and how beautiful her gowns are. Whether you watch Lori and Monte in Atlanta or Randy and the consultants in New York, one can easily become a bridal expert. When you watch "Say Yes to the Dress," every bride can be put into some sort of category. These are seven types of brides you will see while watching "Say Yes to the Dress."
1. The bride who tries on a dress that's way over her budget.
There is always that bride that tries on a dress that way over her budget. Obviously there's a reason why brides have a certain budget. It's always that one friend or family member that tells the consultant to make them try on that expensive dress anyway. What is usually the outcome? The bride falls in love with the dress.
2. The bride who has tried on more than 100 dresses.
Once in a while, a bride comes into Kleinfeld that has tried on quite a few dresses, which in some cases, might be more than 100. OK, let's be honest: How could someone try on more than 100 dresses and not fall in love with one of them? Those are the brides that need to make up their minds.
3. The bride who comes in with more than five people.
Buying a wedding dress can be one of the most wonderful memories of planning a wedding. Of course you want to have the people that care about you the most by your side for that special moment. It can become difficult when there are more than five people at the appointment. At that point it becomes more about the entourage instead of the bride.
4. The bride who has no budget.
We fantasize about wearing the dress of our dreams on our wedding day. Sometimes we have to sacrifice our dreams because we can't afford it. For some brides, budgets are a thing of the past. Brides will spend upwards of $10,000 on a dress that will only be worn for one day. Those women need to think realistically and put that money to better use.
5. The bride who brings her fiancé.
Rule number one: The groom doesn't see your dress until your wedding day when you walk down the aisle. Besides, it's bad luck for him to see you. The brides that bring their fiancés to their appointments lose having that special moment of seeing you for the first time on your wedding day.
6. The bride with the controlling best friend.
We've all seen some episode where the bride has a wacky best friend. The bride might want a mermaid style dress, but the best friend wants to see her in a princess ball gown. The best friend will always speak their mind, even if it's contrary to what the bride wants. Sometimes the bride walks away empty-handed because their best friend took control of her appointment.
7. The bride that has a heart-wrenching story.
Now is the time when you grab the box of tissues. There is always a bride that has a story to tell. For some brides, they've lost a significant amount of weight for their big day or maybe they've lost a loved one. You can always see the real emotions during their appointments. These are always the brides that we can relate to the most.
