SAY YES TO THE DRESS EPISODE 5
Everyone loves to have their Mammy’s approval, especially when they are choosing a dress for their wedding day. This week’s episode of Say Yes to the Dress highlights the relationship between brides and their mothers as three very different women search for three very different dresses.
Martina Patterson has been with her partner for 19 years and they’ve decided to tie the knot. This 39-year-old Donegal woman is normally in a tracksuit and t-shirt. Her Mammy thinks the last time she saw her in a dress was her Holy Communion or Confirmation. As the bridal consultation progresses Franc knows that getting Mammy, Anne to like the dress will be key.
Caroline Harte (40) has traveled from Sligo to Cork today with her Mam, sister and two best friends. With only 8 weeks to go to her wedding Caroline really needs to leave the store with a dress today. Franc knows he can get a dress for Caroline but that with the time restrictions she will have less choice, but that doesn’t mean her or her Mum will settle for anything less than perfect.
Young bride to be Hayleigh Killeen is from Tallaght in Dublin. When Franc meets Hayleigh and her group he quickly spots that Mam, Jennifer, has brought a folder with clippings from magazines. Jennifer is like the wedding planner and is documenting all daughter’s likes and dislikes for the big day. Will Hayleigh end up with a dress from the folder or will it be something different altogether?
A busy day in the couture room for Franc and the consultants as they make sure all the brides and definitely their Mammies are happy to ‘Say Yes to the Dress’.
