I’m happy she said “I feel unpretty” instead of ugly. Because she’s not ugly far from it.

the issue with the first dress wasn't her body, it was that sample sizes are ridiculously tiny. Maybe they should have samples in more sizes.

The first brides "friend" saying he won't let her wear the first dress is really disgusting because it's not about what he likes it's about what she likes and feels comfortable in. He acts like he's the one marrying her and he does not respect anything she likes.

I feel sad for this girl.... she cares to much about what other people say and what she thinks is wrong with her. she is so beautiful and is the BRIDEEEED she can wear whatever she wants

[River]

I love how they found out what the 2nd bride likes by finding out what she doesn't like. So smart and wise!

The girl putting the first dress on the first bride should not have been forcing the fit. She should have just put in a panel and clipped it. Sitting there wrestling with the zipper made the bride feel really bad. What a shame. I don't care for any of the Pnina Tornai dresses I've seen on this show. They always looks trashy yet they are so expensive! Crazy.

She actually looks gorgeous in the see through dress. She also has a figure women pay big dollars to have.

"You're so concerned with how you look"

Um yeah sister. That's the entire point. Is there something other than how she looks that she should be concerned with??? She's shopping for a wedding dress. How she looks is the WHOLE THING.

[WiccanRai]

I felt the consultant let the first bride down a little when trying to force her first choice to zip up. Yes, the sample dresses come in small, so clip it and explain properly that this is just an idea and it will look and fit better in her size. After that I think her confidence was shaken even if she liked the other dresses she tried. Other than that, if she is conscientious over her hips, then maybe don't go for hip hugging styles. The second bride gave me Dolly Parton vibes and looked stunning in the simpler, classy dress she chose.

I felt very sorry for the first bride, her sister and friend were brutal, especially considering that she was body-conscious. They could have added an underlayer to the second dress that she tried on and loved. The second bride looked stunning in the Hayley Paige.

I HATE that these brides always take assholes with them. I've learned from this show to go buy my wedding dress BY MYSELF and choose WHATEVER TF I FEEL PRETTY IN

[BrandyD]

I love when their friends & family say "we are trying on a dress." No the bride is & it is her choice. Nobody is going to tell me what to wear any day of the week.

[lifewithlaurenxox]

The bridal industry needs to do something about its sizes. They need to be true to size because as a bride I can tell you I felt embarrassed buying a dress 3 sizes bigger than I wear.

[chevingladden]

WHY do wedding dresses run so small? The average Anerican woman wears a size 14. I'd think as a business owner or wedding designer I'd want to make sample dresses in larger sizes (which can be clamped during shopping and once a bride has decided her measurements are sent to the designer's factory to be nade). I just don't get why sample sizes have to be so small that it prohibits women from even trying the dress on, let alone buying it.

It's such a shame that people, who are supposed to love you, crush your dreams with their criticism. It should only matter how the bride feels. Leave the critics at home.

[barbarahedges]

I can not imagine paying $10, 000 for a dress to wear for part of one day. Or more.

[spicy_cheetoz]

I love the second bride. There’s just something so likable about her. She just seems so happy and carries a peaceful nature with her.

Edit: Oh wow! Thanks for all the likes :)

[csandford]

That dress just brightened her up so you know it was the right dress when you have it all.

[charlottedavey]

Hearing Annaclaire talk about her fiance is so sweet, what a sweetheart.

[naptownt]

I will never understand why the bride needs someone else's approval. No one you invite (save family maybe) is going to care. Do it for yourself, not others!
