In Say Yes to the Dress season 13 episode 5, titled "Agree to Disagree," brides with differing opinions on wedding attire seek help from bridal consultant Monte Durham at Kleinfeld Bridal. Monte tries to navigate conflicting opinions between a traditional bride and her risk-taking mother, as well as a bride who wants a fully-beaded gown and her budget-conscious grandmother. As the emotional tensions rise, Monte must work his magic to find the perfect dress that satisfies everyone's desires.
The first bride, Stephanie, wants a classic, timeless look for her big day, while her mother prefers a more modern, bold style. Stephanie tries on a form-fitting mermaid gown, but her mother is not convinced, suggesting instead a ballgown with a two-piece removable skirt. During the appointment, Monte encourages Stephanie and her mother to communicate openly and try to find a middle ground. Eventually, they compromise on a fitted A-line gown with beaded appliques and a cascading train.
The second bride, Grizel, has her heart set on a fully-beaded dress, but her grandmother, who is paying for the dress, wants to stay within budget. To complicate matters, Grizel's entourage includes her sister, who has strong opinions of her own. Monte suggests a heavily-beaded gown with a detachable train that can be removed for the reception, but the price tag is too high. After a few more options, Grizel finds a dress she loves, but it is missing the beading she had envisioned. Monte and the bridal team work to add custom beading to the dress within the grandmother's budget, much to Grizel's delight.
Throughout the episode, Monte offers his signature blend of humor and empathy to the brides and their entourages. He reminds them that the most important thing is to feel confident and beautiful on their wedding day, regardless of what anyone else thinks. As he helps each bride choose her dream dress, he also provides advice on accessorizing, hair, and makeup.
"Agree to Disagree" presents a range of challenges that brides may encounter when shopping for their wedding dress. From generational divides to financial limitations, the episode emphasizes the importance of communication and compromise in finding the perfect gown. With Monte's guidance, the brides are able to navigate these obstacles with style and grace.
