Ep 5. Wedding Gown Bro Down

In this season 8 episode 5 of Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta named Wedding Gown Bro Down, viewers are introduced to a bride named Katie who is looking for the perfect dress for her Southern wedding. With her best friends and brothers in tow, she heads to Bridals by Lori to begin the search.

Katie has a clear idea of what she wants in a dress: a classic silhouette with lace and a long train. Her brothers, however, have their own opinions and aren't afraid to share them. They suggest dresses that are more modern and form-fitting, much to Katie's chagrin.

As the appointment continues, tensions rise between Katie and her brothers. She feels unsupported in her vision for her wedding day, and they feel like she's not open to their suggestions. Bridal consultant Monte steps in to try and diffuse the situation and help everyone come to a compromise.

Meanwhile, bridesmaids Ashleigh and Marissa are also on the hunt for their dresses. They're looking for something that will complement the bride's dress and fit within the overall theme of the wedding. With different body types and personal styles, finding a dress that works for both of them proves to be a challenge.

Stylist Courtney takes on the task of finding dresses for the bridesmaids that are both flattering and cohesive. She pulls a variety of options, including mix-and-match styles and different shades of blue, which is the wedding's primary color.

As the appointments continue, tensions between Katie and her brothers come to a head. They disagree on the style of a particular dress, and things get heated. Monte steps in to help them come to a compromise, reminding them that this is ultimately Katie's day and she should feel confident and beautiful in her dress.

After trying on several dresses, Katie finally finds "the one" that meets all of her requirements. It's a classic ballgown with lace detailing and a long train, and her brothers finally come around to her vision.

The bridesmaids also find their dresses, with a mix of styles that complement each other while still showcasing their individual personalities and body types.

As the appointment draws to a close, Katie and her brothers apologize to each other for their arguments and agree to let the bride have the final say when it comes to her dress. With everyone on the same page, they leave Bridals by Lori feeling confident and excited for the big day.
