Capaldi. 20 00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:37,320 Okay. 21 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,980 Manager of Dariana Bridal & Tuxedo. 22 00:00:39,980 --> 00:00:40,820 That sounds fancy. 23 00:00:40,820 --> 00:00:43,840 She's amazing, a total expert in all things bridal. 24 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:44,680 Okay. 25 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,040 Her article, guest etiquette tips 26 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,080 when wedding dress shopping. 27 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:49,920 Is that right? 28 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,280 On the Dariana Bridal & Tuxedo website. 29 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,120 Got it. 30 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:53,960 It's packed with insights. 31 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:54,780 Yeah. 32 00:00:54,780 --> 00:00:56,280 From over a decade of her experience. 33 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,120 And let me tell you, 34 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,040 some of these tips are real eye-openers. 35 00:00:59,040 --> 00:00:59,880 Yeah. 36 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,960 It's not just about gushing over every dress. 37 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,520 There are some surprisingly common things 38 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,160 that guests do that can actually hurt the bride. 39 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:12,000 Oh, absolutely. 40 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,240 It's a delicate balance between being supportive 41 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,080 and letting the bride lead the way. 42 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:17,920 Yeah. 43 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,000 One of the biggest things Daria stresses 44 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,080 is letting the bride speak first. 45 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:22,920 Interesting, okay. 46 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,880 She actually tells the story about a bride 47 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,800 who found the dress. 48 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:29,640 Oh, wow. 49 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,040 Came out beaming. 50 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:31,880 Right. 51 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,640 And the first thing a guest said was, 52 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,360 I don't like that one at all. 53 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,200 Oh. 54 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,480 Imagine the deflation. 55 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:38,520 Oh, yeah. 56 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:39,720 That's got to sting. 57 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:40,560 Right. 58 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,480 And I bet it puts the bride on the defensive right. 59 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,320 Oh, yeah. 60 00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:45,120 Like now she has to justify why she likes it. 61 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:45,960 Exactly. 62 00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:48,600 Remember, she's already in a vulnerable position. 63 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,440 Right. 64 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,240 You know, seeking validation from her loved ones. 65 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,080 Sure. 66 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,720 So that early negative feedback 67 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,280 can really throw her off balance. 68 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:56,120 Oh, yeah. 69 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:56,940 Make her doubt herself. 70 00:01:56,940 --> 00:01:57,840 Totally, okay, that makes sense. 71 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:58,680 Yeah. 72 00:01:58,680 --> 00:01:59,840 And then she's thinking about the flip side. 73 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,480 What if the bride is clearly struggling to make a decision? 74 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:04,320 Yeah, yeah. 75 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,080 Or seems to be gravitating towards a dress that, 76 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,720 well, maybe isn't the most flattering. 77 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:09,560 Yeah. 78 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,400 Is it ever okay to offer an opinion then? 79 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,080 That's where it gets tricky. 80 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:16,920 Okay. 81 00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:18,160 While honesty is important, 82 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,000 Daria emphasizes being gentle with your words. 83 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,400 Even when you're trying to be helpful. 84 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,800 She says to focus on the dress, 85 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:28,880 not the bride. 86 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:29,720 Okay. 87 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:30,760 So instead of saying, 88 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,720 that dress makes you look boxy. 89 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:33,560 Right. 90 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,520 You could try, that dress is kind of a little boxy. 91 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,360 Okay. 92 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,320 It's a subtle shift. 93 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,160 Right. 94 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,360 But it avoids making it a personal critique. 95 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,240 Oh, I see, so it's like you're giving feedback 96 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,560 on the design of the dress, 97 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:45,840 not on how it looks on her. 98 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,960 Exactly, and it's about knowing the bride too. 99 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:48,800 Right. 100 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,680 Is she someone who wants your honest opinion, 101 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,440 even if it's not sugarcoated? 102 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,320 Or is she more sensitive and needs reassurance? 103 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,760 You have to tailor your approach accordingly. 104 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,440 You know, that reminds me of a time 105 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,480 I went dress shopping with a friend. 106 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:03,960 Do tell. 107 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,800 Well, she was trying on this dress. 108 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:06,640 Uh-huh. 109 00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:08,080 And it just wasn't doing her any favors. 110 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:08,920 Okay. 111 00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:10,360 But she was so excited about it. 112 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,200 No. 113 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,160 I was like, how do I tell her? 114 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,520 Right. 115 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,800 This is not the one. 116 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:15,640 Yeah. 117 00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:17,160 Without crushing her. 118 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,880 That's the eternal dilemma. 119 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:19,720 I did actually. 120 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:20,560 Okay, good. 121 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,760 I asked her, how do you feel in this dress? 122 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:23,600 Uh-huh. 123 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,420 You know what? 124 00:03:24,420 --> 00:03:25,260 What? 125 00:03:25,260 --> 00:03:26,100 She paused. 126 00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:28,880 And said, you know, now that you mention it. 127 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,400 Right. 128 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,240 I don't feel as comfortable in it as I thought I would. 129 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,080 Wow. 130 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,480 So simply prompting her to reflect on her own feelings 131 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,680 was enough to guide her in the right direction. 132 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,420 It avoided any awkwardness or hurt feelings. 133 00:03:44,420 --> 00:03:46,860 That's a perfect example of how sometimes 134 00:03:46,860 --> 00:03:49,600 just a little nudge towards self-reflection 135 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,280 can be more helpful than offering your own opinion. 136 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,120 I like that. 137 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:54,940 Yeah. 138 00:03:54,940 --> 00:03:58,520 Okay, so we've talked about letting the bride speak first. 139 00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,480 Mm-hmm. 140 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:00,920 Be mindful of our words. 141 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,960 What's another key etiquette tip? 142 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,680 Well, this one might seem obvious. 143 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:05,520 Okay. 144 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:06,420 But it's worth emphasizing. 145 00:04:06,420 --> 00:04:07,260 Okay. 146 00:04:07,260 --> 00:04:09,360 The bride guides the appointment. 147 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:10,200 Got it. 148 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,240 You're there to support. 149 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,080 Right. 150 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:12,900 Not to take over. 151 00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:14,880 Yeah, I can totally see how that could go wrong. 152 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:15,720 Right. 153 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,080 Like the overzealous friend who starts pulling dresses. 154 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,160 Oh yeah. 155 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,380 That are way out of budget. 156 00:04:21,380 --> 00:04:23,080 Or insists on a veil. 157 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:23,920 Yeah. 158 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,080 The bride said she doesn't want one. 159 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:25,920 Precisely. 160 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,080 Daria actually mentions guests. 161 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:28,920 Really? 162 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,680 Who try to dictate the entire appointment. 163 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:32,520 Oh wow. 164 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,120 Pulling dresses, the bride has no interest 165 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,560 in pushing their own style preferences. 166 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:39,400 Gotcha. 167 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,220 On to her. 168 00:04:40,220 --> 00:04:41,060 Okay. 169 00:04:41,060 --> 00:04:43,200 It's all about respecting boundaries. 170 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:44,040 Right. 171 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,920 Remembering that this is her moment. 172 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,520 Right, it's her big day, not yours. 173 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:48,360 Exactly. 174 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,240 And it's easy to get caught up in the excitement. 175 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,080 Mm-hmm. 176 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:52,920 Forget that. 177 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,080 You have to be mindful of that power dynamic. 178 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:55,920 Yeah. 179 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,240 Make sure we're not unintentionally 180 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,480 steamrolling the bride. 181 00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:59,800 Totally. 182 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:00,880 Daria gives some great advice. 183 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:01,720 Oh yeah. 184 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:02,800 On how to phrase things. 185 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,640 Okay. 186 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,160 Like instead of saying you have to try on a mermaid style. 187 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:06,980 Right. 188 00:05:06,980 --> 00:05:09,840 You could ask, have you considered trying a mermaid style? 189 00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:10,680 I love that. 190 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:11,500 Right. 191 00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:12,640 It's a simple change. 192 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:13,480 Yeah. 193 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,180 But it gives the bride control. 194 00:05:15,180 --> 00:05:16,020 Yeah. 195 00:05:16,020 --> 00:05:17,760 Empowers her to make her own decision. 196 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,280 Okay, so we've covered letting the bride speak first. 197 00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:21,120 Mm-hmm. 198 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,200 Being careful with our words. 199 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,040 Yes. 200 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,560 Making sure we're not hijacking the appointment. 201 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:25,400 Right. 202 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,980 What else should guests keep in mind? 203 00:05:26,980 --> 00:05:28,000 Well, this next one. 204 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:28,840 Okay. 205 00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:30,880 Is something a lot of people don't realize. 206 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,200 Oh no, what is it? 207 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,560 Wedding dress sizing. 208 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:34,400 Okay. 209 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,240 Is

They know, right? 214 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,520 I had no idea. 215 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,720 Daria says wedding dresses typically run 216 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,600 one to two sizes smaller. 217 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:47,440 Wow. 218 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:48,260 Than street clothes. 219 00:05:48,260 --> 00:05:49,100 Okay. 220 00:05:49,100 --> 00:05:50,080 And she tells this story. 221 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:50,920 Uh-oh. 222 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,640 About a plus size bride. 223 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:53,480 Mm-hmm. 224 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,000 Who was having a

what's the takeaway here? 239 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,000 I think it's two-fold. 240 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:17,840 Okay. 241 00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:19,740 First, be mindful of the bride size. 242

supporting the bride's feelings? 256 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,080 That's a great question. 257 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:42,900 Yeah. 258 00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:45,880 It leads us to one of Daria's most

262 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,000 Yeah. 263 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,520 She talks about the bride who has found the dress. 264 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:54,360 Right. 265 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,200

sleep on it. 269 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,200 Talk about a buzzkill. 270 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,760 Exactly, it's such a classic example 271 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,640 of well-meaning but ultimately unhelpful advice. 272 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,760 So why is that such a big no-no? 273 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,760 Well, think about it from the bride's perspective. 274 00:07:13,760

wrench in the works. 282 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:24,560 Right. 283 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:25,760 Telling her to second-guess herself. 284 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,580 Totally. 285 00:07:26,580 --> 00:07:27,560 That's like taking a pin. 286 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,400 Yeah. 287 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,520 To her balloon of excitement. 288 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,340 It totally takes away from that magical yes moment, right? 289 00:07:32,340 --> 00:07:34,760 Absolutely, and while it's true. 290 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:35,600 Yeah. 291 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,320 That some brides might benefit 292 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,480 from taking some time to think things over. 293 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:41,320 Sure. 294 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,160 That decision should entirely up to them. 295 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,920 It goes back to respecting her boundaries. 296 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:46,760 Exactly. 297 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:47,580 Pressing her judgment. 298 00:07:47,580 --> 00:07:49,160 Plus, as Daria points out, 299 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,120 that initial yes moment is so special. 300 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:52,960 Yeah. 301 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,520 Even if she comes back later and buys the dress, 302 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,600 it's not quite the same feeling. 303 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,400 There's a certain magic that happens. 304 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,220 Sure. 305 00:08:01,220 --> 00:08:03,280 In the moment when she's surrounded by her loved ones. 306 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,120 Right. 307 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,200 Makes that decision from the heart. 308 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,400 Okay, so we've covered a lot of ground here. 309 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,220 We have. 310 00:08:08,220 --> 00:08:11,720 We've talked about letting the bride speak first, 311 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,320 being gentle with our words. 312 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:14,140 Right. 313 00:08:14,140 --> 00:08:15,160 Respecting her boundaries. 314

not stealing her moment. 318 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:22,080 Right. 319 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,520 Phew. 320 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:24,840 That's a lot to keep in mind. 321 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,240 It is, but it's all about being a supportive 322 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,560 and thoughtful guest. 323 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:29,400 Right. 324 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,000 And thankfully, Daria gives us some super practical advice 325 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,960 in the form of specific phrases 326 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,440 to avoid helpful alternatives to use. 327

It does. 331 00:08:42,420 --> 00:08:44,440 On cringe-worthy comments 332 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,840 that guests should never say. 333 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:47,680 Right. 334 00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:48,520 Like, you look fat in that. 335 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:49,360 Oh my gosh. 336 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,200 Or, your fiancee will hate that. 337 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,480 Right. 338

342 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,480 It's astonishing, but sadly, it happens more often. 343 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:00,320 Oh wow. 344 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,140 Than you might think. 345 00:09:01,140

how to be encouraging. 349 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,000 Yeah. 350 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,120 Without crossing the line. 351 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,080 So what are some of those cringe-worthy phrases 352 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,560 we should avoid at all costs? 353 00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:15,400 Yeah. 354 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:16,760 And more importantly, 355 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,240 what are some better alternatives we can use instead? 356 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,080 Right. 357 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,160 We'll dive into those right after this quick break. 358

00:09:27,280 Okay, yeah. 362 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,320 One that Daria specifically calls out is, 363 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:31,720 you look fat in that. 364 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:32,560 Oh my gosh. 365 00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:33,880 I mean, seriously. 366 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:34,800 Who says that? 367 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:35,640 No. 368 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,440 To a bride trying on wedding dresses. 369 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:39,700 It's her wedding day. 370 00:09:39,700 --> 00:09:40,540 Right. 371 00:09:40,540 --> 00:09:42,400 She's supposed to feel beautiful and confident. 372 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,480 Exactly. 373 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:44,640 Last thing she needs. 374 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:45,480 Right. 375 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,960 And making her feel self-conscious about her body. 376 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,080 And it's not just about being hurtful. 377 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:50,920 No. 378 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,640 It's also completely unhelpful. 379 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:53,480 Yeah. 380 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:54,880 It doesn't give her any constructive feedback 381 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:55,880 about the dress. 382 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:56,720 Right. 383 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,400 Right, so what's a better way to approach it? 384 00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:59,240 Okay. 385 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,560 If you're genuinely concerned about how a dress looks. 386 00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:04,920 Daria suggests focusing on how the dress fits. 387 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:05,920 Or drapes. 388 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:06,760 Okay. 389 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,200 For example, instead of saying, 390 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,040 that dress makes you look wide. 391 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:10,880 Right. 392 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:11,700 You could say something like, 393 00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:13,800 that dress seems a little snug in the hips. 394 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,040 Do you feel comfortable moving around in it? 395 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,840 Okay, yeah, that's much more tactful. 396 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:18,680 Right. 397 00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:19,800 It's about being honest. 398 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:20,640 Right. 399 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:21,880 But also being kind and respectful. 400 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,080 Exactly. 401 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,200 Another phrase Daria says to avoid. 402 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,040 Okay. 403 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,760 Is, your fiancee will hate that. 404 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,480 Ooh, that's a bad one. 405 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,320 It's like you're bringing a whole other person's 406 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,440 opinion into the mix. 407 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:33,280 Yeah. 408 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,360 Putting pressure on the bride. 409 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:35,200 Right. 410 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:36,040 To please someone else. 411 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,520 The focus should be on what the bride wants. 412 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:39,360 Right. 413 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,240 How she feels in the dress. 414 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,080 Exactly. 415 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,480 It's her day, and she should be the one 416 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:43,760 making the decisions. 417 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,000 So what's a better way to phrase it, 418 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,640 if you're concerned. 419 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:48,480 Okay. 420 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,400 That a dress might not, you know, 421 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,440 be aligned with her, or the groom's overall vision. 422 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,320 You could try something like, 423 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,640 that dress is beautiful, but does it feel like you? 424 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,160 Does it fit the style you've been envisioning 425 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,960 for your wedding? 426 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:03,800 I like that. 427 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,840 Yeah, it gently prompts her

imposing your own opinions. 432 00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:11,800 I love that, it encourages her to reflect 433 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,520 on her own vision for the day. 434 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,640 Exactly, and that's what it's all about, right? 435 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:16,480 Right. 436 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,200 Helping the bride find a dress 437 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,440

dress is amazing, 447 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,400 you could ask, how do you feel in that dress? 448 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:42,800 Does it make you feel beautiful? 449 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:43,640

00:11:50,120 Not just our opinions on the dress itself. 454 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,080 You can also offer specific compliments 455 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,200 that focus on her best features. 456 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,560 Like, that neckline really accentuates 457 00:11:58,560 --> 00:11:59,680 your beautiful shoulders. 458 00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:00,520 Well, yeah. 459 00:12:00,520 -->

her hair back 486 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,800 so she can see the neckline. 487 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,720 Especially if she has long hair. 488 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:01,560 Yeah. 489 00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:05,400 It can be hard to envision how a dress will look 490 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,680 with her hair up or down. 491 00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:08,120 Exactly, another tip. 492 00:13:08,120

be emotionally draining. 500 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,240 You don't wanna be dealing with a rumbling stomach. 501 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:21,240 No, no. 502 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,280 On top of

everyone. 525 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,120 Right. 526 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,080 She completely lost sight of what she wanted. 527 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,960 That's a perfect example of why it's so important 528 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,320 to keep the group small and intimate. 529 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,160 Right. 530 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,000 At least for that initial
