Ep 18. No Boys Allowed...

In Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta season 2 episode 18, titled "No Boys Allowed," viewers are in for a treat as the show decides to celebrate femininity by prohibiting men from entering the salon. The episode starts with a group of five ladies led by the bride-to-be, Heather, who are ready to have a fun-filled day trying on different dresses and sharing lots of laughs and giggles.

As the salon doors open, the bridal party bustles in a flurry of excitement. However, their excitement is cut short as they’re told that no boys are allowed. At first, the ladies seem a bit skeptical about the idea, but they quickly embrace the idea and begin their journey to find the perfect dress for Heather.

Heather is a bit of a tomboy who doesn't usually wear dresses, so she's looking for something unique and fitting for her personality. Her friends, on the other hand, are keen on seeing her in something that is more traditional but are still supportive of their friend's choice and offer their opinions on different styles.

One of the highlights of this particular episode is the interaction between the bride and her friend, Brandi. Brandi, who is known for her love of bling, is quick to offer her opinion on every dress, and as one would expect, she pushes for a dress with all the sparkles and bling. However, Heather’s perspective is quite different as she wants something subdued with less glitz, which is more realistic of her tomboyish character.

The show takes viewers through the various dresses that the bride tries on, showcasing dresses from different designers, cuts, and styles, with the bridal party offering commentary and opinions throughout the process. Despite some disagreements and differing opinions, all the ladies are supportive of Heather and her choices, ultimately making this day about celebrating her and her upcoming nuptials.

As the show progresses, there are some laughs, some tears and lots of "oohs and aahs" as the entourage finds the dress that best suits Heather. That moment is truly touching as the bride-to-be tries on her dream dress and sees herself as a bride for the first time.

Overall, "No Boys Allowed" is a fun-filled and entertaining episode that showcases the close bond between friends. Despite their varying opinions, the ladies are supportive of each other and of Heather's choices. Viewers will leave the episode feeling inspired with a greater appreciation for strong female friendships, and with a renewed sense of joy in all things girly.
