Happy Friday! We’ve got a special treat for y’all courtesy of this week’s episode of Say YES To The Dress!
One of our favorite things about the weekend is that Say YES To The Dress comes out with new episodes on Saturday. This week we have two exclusive clips to share with you featuring the cutest bride in the episode, Shatava Lindsey from Atlanta, GA. She arrives at Kleinfelds in Manhattan and wants extra sparkles for her wedding dress! There’s only one problem — Shatava’s friend wants revenge for their last visit to Kleinfelds.
Shatava wants it all – a gown with sparkles, and lace, and pearls, and a long train, not to mention a tiara and veil – but finding a dress like that within her $2,500 budget is going to be a challenge!
Before the consultation has even begun Randy knows that he and Peter are in for a wild ride, because he recognizes Shatava and her friend Courtney from a raucous dress appointment in Season 18 when Courtney was the bride and Shatava a bridesmaid. As a member of that entourage, Shatava was unapologetically outspoken, and today Courtney is determined to get some payback now that their roles are reversed!
Hit the flip to watch a second clip.
Dress #1 ticks all the boxes and immediately has Shatava’s mom in tears. But when Courtney judges it “boring” and announces that it “belongs in the back of the closet” it’s back to the fitting room!
Shatava decides not to come out in dress #2 because she knows they’ll tell her it looks like a marshmallow. Dress #3 is giving her salsa dancer vibes so it’s also a no-show. Dress #4 looks perfect on the hanger but it’s over budget at $3,150, and suddenly the bride’s evil alter ego “Hot Lava” is telling her to throw caution to the wind and blow the budget – what’s a bride to do?
Do you think Shatava will go back to dress #1 or throw her budget out the window and say Yes to dress #4.
Here’s what else to expect from the episode:
Noelle aka “Red” has come from California with her two friends to find the perfect dress. She’s already bought a “just in case” dress but it doesn’t have any sparkle and since she feels like a disco ball on the inside, she wants a dress that shows that on the outside! Her friends Athina and Lindsey were not able to shop with her the first time, and today they are determined that Red will not leave Kleinfeld with another “maybe” dress! Amber decides to start with a gown that looks very similar to the dress Red already bought but with a glittering skirt and beaded details. Red loves it but her friends immediately shoot it down and now the pressure is on because she knows that her “just in case” dress is a “just plain no”! Dress 2 is even more glittery and Red is a fan, until the entourage tell her it looks like a prom dress and push her to get outside her comfort zone and try on a fitted dress. Amber encourages a reluctant Red to try a strapless fitted style and the bride is shocked at how much she likes it, but old body insecurities die hard – can her friends persuade her that this is the dress?
New episodes of Say YES To The Dress air Saturdays at 8pm ET/PT
