As some of you bees know, Say Yes to the Dress has a theme for each episode. Pushy mothers, picky brides, etc. Let's say you were chosen to appear on the show. How would you or your group be typecast based on your own shopping experience?
They might've put me on one of their sappy episodes because I'm an orphan. The group that went dress shopping with me caused no drama so it probably would've been all on me (unless one of my friends chose to be extra difficult that day for the sake of TV, hah ;p). I pretty much knew deep down I wanted a gown in another store, so maybe they would've made me look like I was one of the annoying ones that wasted the consultant's time.
I would have been on a sappy episode as well since I'm a cancer survivor. It also probably would have been featured on Big Bliss
Haha. Well, it would have had to be Atlanta: Big Bliss. And maybe one of the picky unique brides? I did have a lot of likes and dislikes, but the place I went found my dress within the first few.
I would have been grouped with the "Tattoo Brides" the "TomBoy to GirlyGirl" or Plus Size Brides!
or with what I have gone through with Alterations, I'd be one of those crazed brides in alterations! lol
The older bride - BUT the "don't bring me any of that matronly crap or I will Gibb's slap you" mature bride.
@tksjewelry: Bahaha. Yes.
I'd like to add I was the "don't bring me the typical big girl dresses, I will NOT put them on" girl. So yeah.
I have a feeling I would be the "wants a really unique dress while everyone that's with her want's traditional" bride.
I am probably going to be a bride who "needs to realize that she can't get everything she wants on such a limited budget," or something along those lines. Which I think is silly, because I do not want beading, bling, or any of the other heavy details that usually jack up the price. We'll see :)
I'd be the older, plus-sized bride who has tried on too many dresses......
I would have been the "indecisive push-over bride who has no clue what she wants" with the opinionated finace as the only one there with me!! I love that show (and still watch it even after the wedding!!)
I've only seen the show once so I don't know... but I took my FI dress shopping with me so and it was super easy I tried on 4 dresses and picked one I liked best and that was that. I guess I'd be in the random brides that bring the groom group. I have tattoos too and like huge statement dresses (I kept telling the lady helping me find a dress "no bigger puffier" everytime she brought a new one out LOL) if either of those things matter lol.
@tksjewelry: LOL we should've gone shopping together
I would be the older bride too but the I have tried on 100 dresses and still have not fallen in love and do not tell me I have tried on too many dresses and oh I was a pageant girl years back do not put me in a pageant gown
I went dress shopping several times and with different people, but there was one situation that definitely reminded me of a syttd episode. I have been trying desperately to involve my younger sister in wedding planning, but she she has been away in college throughout most of the planning and when she was home she would rather hang out with her friends than get involved in wedding stuff. One weekend when she was home I dragged her to David's bridal to try on a dress I saw online; I had already ordered a dress but was having serious doubts. It was very obvious how much I wanted her to get excited about her big sister being a bride, yet everytime I would come out she was either on the phone or looking at dresses for herself. I think that would make the perfect episode of the bride looking for some attention from the family. LOL
@unixfairy: I am always armed with a good Gibb's slap (and rule #1 if the slap doesn't work)
I still love that show and watch it whenever I'm home - sadly, they haven't brought it to the US yet :-(
I probably would have been on the show where the bride's voice gets drowned out by everyone else's opinion. My mom and my sister were very vocal in their opinions and they didn't really like anything I liked. I tried on a lace dress - didn't love that particular dress but LOVED the idea of having a lace dress and that was immediately vetoed by them both. I ended up with a dress I liked at the time but looking at the photos now, I have serious, serious dress regret. Ah well. I can just hear Keisha now saying "It's not about them, we have to get the bride what she wants!"
I'm an event planner, so they'd probably make me seem dramatic.
I think I already said this, but I'd be "the Canadian", which I'm always sad to see they make such a big deal of,
or I would be the picky bride with the printout of the dress they said they had, but didn't after all because of a mix-up... but it all turned out OK in the end.
I'd be the Champagne Taste On A Beer Budget.
I'd either be in sob story or the "I'm open to everything" annoying person. Or even pushy MIL's. lol
Hahaha! I love this post!!! I would have qualified in SO many categegories, including the older bride; the "plus size" bride, who would have had trouble getting into the regular, sample gowns; the extremely picky bride; and the bride who would have had to try on her dream gown, even if it was outrageously expensive, just to make sure it wasn't worth going over budget, etc. Also, since my mom had broken a bone and wasn't able to travel (and she didn't ever get to go dress shopping with me, as I lived in a different state), I would also likely have been a bride who had trouble making a decision "because her mother isn't here..."
@BayStateBride: LOL, that is a much more snappy way of saying what I did! Nicely done hehe
I would have been the bride with severe body issues who had trouble feeling good about a dress because she wasn't comfortable with herself (and probably left the store empty-handed).
I could also have been the bride who knew exactly what kind of dress she wanted and more or less refused to try on anything very different from that. They could tell me all they wanted that "so many women end up buying the complete opposite of what they pictured," but I knew what worked for me, and in the end, that's what I got.
I would definitely be the bride who tried on 100 dresses, because I totally did. I made an appointment at Kleinfeld's as a last resort, but found my dress just before my appointment.
I would be the one that crys because her mom didnt want to go dress shopping... And loves everything but picks it apart and cant choose.
Is there an "awkward/not-girly/never into wedding-stuff and has no clue" type?
Because that's totally what FI's mom would try to sell me as if she actually submits my info to these shows.
(The only wedding show I watch is Bridezillas... it's addicting :( )
I am that person with the giant group of people with me (9 other people!) but not the crazy kind that take over the whole store.
I'd be the "Sad Canadian without a mom so she can't choose a dress girl". Seriously, I tried on close to a hundred dresses, and I know that my aunt actually pulled a Randy, and told my fiance she thought it was because I was missing my mom and needed her opinion.
Hard to say, but maybe insecure types? I'm a bit self conscious. Also maybe one of the "emotional" ones. My FI is deployed and I'm uprooting my life in another country to move with him so we've got a lot going on outside of just wedding stuff.
I never watch it, so I didn't know there were themes to each show. I have a friend who just got filmed to be on SYTTD, so I'll have to ask her if she knows the theme...
I would be the bride who liked the dress that everyone hated, and got it anyways.
@surkim: I've seen that type on the show before. :) Sometimes they're surprised at what they end up liking because it's so opposite to what they normally go for.
I don't think I'm interesting enough, but I'll probably be the cheap one since I will never pay that much for a dress.
I'd be the older sexy on a budget bride, who wants a form fitted gown, totally hates princess type ballgowns so don't you dare bring one in, I don't care for shopping so please lets get this over and done with as soon as possible, glad my FMIL is here with me but damn I miss my mama *insert cry here*, oh i like this gown, but i gotta think about it, go to lunch, to delibrate and come later to make the purchase type.
I would be fat, indecisive, on-a-budget bride :) Haha. Does that count?
Being 34, I imagine they'd make me an "older" bride, even though getting married in your 30s is totally normaly in the NYC area.
NYCers, have you noticed that they skew young on SYTTD even though NYCers tend to get married a little later than the rest of the country?
I might be too sensitive. :)
Well i'm a plus sized bride, I've only tried on like 4 dresses and found something in all of them I didn't like. My dad left when I was little and we have no relationship at all, my step dad abused me... So I'd be in the sob story girl and a big bliss, hates how she looks in everything kinda girl :P
