    It just started and they've already featured a bride who blows any Say Yes bride out of the water. No budget. Wedding in Monte Carlo. Seven carat ring.

    Bucke up. This is going to be interesting.

    "I want the most expensive..."I like how the consultant is dealing with her, though. She's funny. :) <

    Most of these people have such obvious plastic surgery. It's kind of distracting.

    Michelle seems medicated.

    I so want to watch this, but despite the fact that my TV says that Brides of Beverly Hills is on, it is showing in fact a special on Sasquatch. Yep, as in yetis. Big foot. Not brides with giant rings and ridiculous dresses.

    Not QUITE the same...

    I'm kind of surprised that the most expensive dress in the store is $16,500.

    The Father of the Bride guy's shtick is already getting old. Fab-a-lis!

    @techie:

    Maybe it was a dress for a shoot or event? I find it hard to believe that any of the young stars mentioned ordered from a traditional bridal shop. Natalie Portman? I bet she had a private consultation with whatever designer did her gown.

    @eloping:

    Exactly. Oscar de la Renta, Vera, Carolina, Monique, Amsale...a custom gown by any of them would be the most opulent purchase. I'm pretty sure there's a Lhuillier boutique in LA? No flight needed!

    The appointments seemed so forced! Did anyone else think that?

    Also, I couldn't even handle the plastic surgery!  My boyfriend literally shrieked in horror when he saw one of the women haha

    I really liked Diamond Foxxx and her husband - they seemed really sweet together - and the way Renee and especially the gay asian dude treated her was really rude and offensive. Who just goes up to a stranger and asks about their sex life? And all the giggling at the computer? So immature. I thought that was sad. She didn't deserve to be mocked while trying to find a wedding dress.

    @moonadea:

    I felt like that whole thing was staged.  Obviously they'd seen the name "Diamond Foxx" on the books before she was IN the store - if they were that curious, they would have looked her up before she was 20 feet away.  And the whole conversation with the gaysian dude was just over the top fake.  Bet you Diamond and the producers agreed to a mutually beneficial way of promoting her AND creating buzz over the show.

    Say Yes Atlanta is heavily staged, so it makes sense that this show would be, too. Even the original has some help. Remember the little redhead they painted as a brat (flew in on a private plane)? The sister has a blog and wrote about how the producers encouraged her to take more time and to have the store stay open late. The final edit made the ride look like the manipulator.

    OT but is Sarah on Say Yes pregnant? She told me at our appt that they were TTC at the time and apologizing because she wasn't feeling well that day. 

    @moonadea: YES. So tacky.

    @mandypop: well I certainly hope it was staged. Otherwise that's just ridiculous.

     

    I probably won't watch the show again. It didn't do anything for me - it didn't have the charm of the original SYTTD or the hilarity of Bridezilla. Meh.

    The friend of the 7 carat bride TOTALLY looks like Paris Hilton...I guess that's the perk of working at a plastic surgeon's office, right?

    I got about 20 minutes in before turning it off. I feel like they are trying to fit too much in without really developing the audience's attachment to each individual. The Lee guy bothers me a lot too- I thought he actually worked elsewhere, so why does he seem to be there the whole day?

    DH will be happy to have one less wedding show to watch.

    This show is a Hot ass mess. First turn off -- I'm going to need the consultant, Sheree to comb her hair when she comes to work. I guess she was going for that who after love making, tossled look. #FAIL

    2nd - The women look frighting. There are way too much pulled and frozen faces for my taste. That includes you Mr. Lee 3rd, the staging factor is way too obvious for my tastes.  I'm a reality tv whore and I'm saying ENOUGH...

    P.S. That Platinum dress in first episode from the waist down was horrid.

    @CrispyRN: I just looked at the Yelp reviews.  The place sounds pretty bad.  I'm not surprised...the dresses shown on the show didn't seem fashion forward at all.

    If I have to listen to the word FAB-A-LIS one more time!

    The show as a PP stated is a hot mess and over the top (not in a good way). It makes a mockery of the whole bridal process. Even when the Jewish girl seemed to be having a somewhat real moment between her and her father it just felt fake and forced.

    I will definitely not be recording this one, to avoid all the bad plastic surgery alone (WTF is up with their lips!?!).

    Also, if you are watching it recently... you will see one of the associates hocking her shoe line, and had someone bring in a cake to try and promote that.  Ugh! annoying!  I would be pissed if i walked in and had someone trying to sell me shoes, or a lame ass weird asian "event planner", or cake!  I just want a dress lady!  give the advertising an effin rest!

     

    annoying for sure !

    ya definitely just got approached to be on the show......not sure how I feel about it. Apparently there is Bride A who is "botox barbie" and Bride B who is normak and has a heartfelt story (this would be me)  only reason I would do it is for free publicity for my company haha   ugh
