Cute New TV Wedding Show

June 1st, 2010

If you are reading this, you probably enjoy a wedding show on tv as much as I do. Whether you are a bride-to-be or have been married for years, there is something about watching other women plan their weddings that is always a lot of fun. For all of you who think that the best part of wedding planning is bridal gown shopping, there is a cute new television show called “Girl Meets Gown” which is worth checking out.

One thing that sets “Girl Meets Gown” apart from other shows about bridal gown shopping like “Say Yes to the Dress”  is the location. Unlike “Say Yes to the Dress”, which takes place in New York, “Girl Meets Gown” is filmed at a salon in Dallas. As they say, everything is bigger in Texas, and this is definitely true about wedding gowns, veils, and bridal jewelry sets. What qualifies as a simple little dress for a forest wedding in Dallas would be considered a lavish formal gown in New England. It certainly makes for entertaining viewing.

Women who are unfamiliar with the inner workings of a bridal salon will enjoy the behind-the-scenes commentary offered by the owners of the shop and their staff. You can see their secret panic when a bride comes in to shop who has no time to spare, and their palpable relief when they are able to secure a rush delivery on the bride’s favorite gown. Then there is the shock of a consultant who thinks her bride is coming in for a final fitting, only to learn that the young woman has changed her mind and wants to order a new dress.

The human side of the brides on “Girl Meets Gown” is the most interesting part of the program. Many brides-to-be can sympathize with the feelings of the woman who just couldn’t feel pretty in a wedding gown until she reached her goal weight.  Or the woman who got swept up in the moment and ordered a wedding dress that her friends really liked, only to later realize that she did not like it as much as they did. Weddings are endlessly fascinating, and if you are looking for a fun way to spend an hour, you might just want to tune into “Girl Meets Gown”.
