Say Yes to the Dress: The Big Day is a spinoff of the popular TLC show 'Say Yes to the Dress', which debuted in 2007. The show follows brides as they shop for the wedding dress of their dreams with the help of expert bridal consultants at Kleinfeld Bridal in New York City. However, unlike the original show, The Big Day focuses not only on the brides' dress shopping adventures but also their wedding day itself.
The show, which first aired in 2011, is hosted by Maximo Gianfranco Sorrentino, the charismatic and stylish event planner and consultant, who's been dubbed "the Italian Stallion of Weddings". Sorrentino is joined by two bridal consultants, Kelly Miller and Roger Gasser, who help brides choose their perfect dress ahead of their upcoming nuptials.
Each episode of The Big Day is divided into two parts. In the first half of the show, the bride-to-be takes us through her wedding planning process, including picking a venue, a theme, and most importantly, finding the perfect wedding dress. The consultant and the bride-to-be visit Kleinfeld Bridal in Manhattan, New York, where they go through various dresses to determine what will work best for her on her big day.
The second half of the episode takes place on the wedding day itself. We see the bride-to-be getting ready, with her glam team putting the final touches on her hair and makeup, and then we follow her as she walks down the aisle, and exchange vows with her future partner. We also get to see the reception and watch the bride and groom celebrate with their family and friends.
Throughout the show, Sorrentino, Miller, and Gasser offer their expertise and advice, helping brides navigate the complicated process of finding the perfect dress. They offer suggestions on what will flatter each bride's body type, and work to find the dress that matches their personality and wedding theme. Ultimately, the goal is for each bride to fall in love with their dress, say "yes" to it (of course!), and feel confident and beautiful on their wedding day.
The show appeals to anyone who's ever dreamed of their wedding day, or who just loves watching beautiful dresses and romantic wedding moments. Seeing the bride-to-be's journey from dress shopping, to walking down the aisle, to partying the night away is a compelling and emotional experience. In fact, many viewers confess to shedding happy tears each episode!
The show also gives a glimpse into the hard work and effort that goes into planning a wedding. Viewers get to see the stress and anxiety that brides go through when planning their big day, but also the joy and excitement when everything comes together. For anyone who has ever planned a wedding or been involved in planning one, the show is both relatable and entertaining.
One of the unique features of Say Yes to the Dress: The Big Day is that it features weddings of all types, from elaborate, high-end affairs to more modest, DIY weddings. This diversity of weddings sets the show apart from others in the bridal genre and makes it accessible to a wide range of viewers. The show also includes same-sex couples, which is an important representation for the LGBTQ+ community and brings a level of relevant topics and conversations to the forefront.
In conclusion, Say Yes to the Dress: The Big Day is a heartwarming and engaging show that showcases the joy and emotion of wedding day dreams coming true. Viewers will enjoy watching brides-to-be find their perfect dress and then follow them as they walk down the aisle, say "I do," and start their journey as a married couple. Whether you've ever planned a wedding or not, the show promises a must-watch experience for all those who love weddings, fashion, and romance.
