In Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta season 7 episode 10, "Bridal Baggage Blues," viewers are taken on a journey with brides-to-be as they search for the perfect wedding dress. The episode showcases the struggles that come with finding the ideal dress, especially for brides who carry emotional baggage from their past.
The episode begins with bride Laura, who is looking for a dress that will make her feel beautiful and confident on her special day. As a recent divorcee, Laura is still struggling with the emotional baggage from her past relationship. She is nervous about picking a dress that will make her look and feel beautiful and not remind her of her previous marriage.
The show’s host Monte Durham greets Laura and introduces her to her bridal entourage. Laura tells Monte that she wants a dress that is different from her first wedding dress, which was a simple white gown. Monte takes Laura and her group through the various dresses available at the boutique, and Laura begins to try on different dresses.
Another bride, Sylvia, is also featured in the episode. Sylvia is an athlete with muscular shoulders and arms, which she is self-conscious about. She is looking for a dress that will make her feel feminine and glamorous and not accentuate her muscular physique. With Monte’s help, Sylvia tries on a variety of dresses until she finds the perfect fit.
The show also introduces another bride, Ashley, who is getting married only a few weeks after the episode’s filming.

Whether it is Laura dealing with the pain of a failed marriage or Sylvia struggling to feel feminine, the show highlights the fact that finding the perfect dress is never just about the dress itself, but also about the emotional baggage that each bride brings with her.
