Ep 1. You're Sexy and You Know It

In Say Yes To The Dress season 8 episode 1, titled "You're Sexy and You Know It," the Hudson Valley Bridal salon is ready to serve up some serious wedding dress magic. There are pom-poms, sequins, and feathers galore as brides step into the salon looking for the perfect wedding dress.

The episode features some brides with very different styles and preferences. One bride, Sarah, is getting married on New Year's Eve and wants a dress that is a little bit glam and sexy. She tries on a few dresses, but really falls in love with a beaded, mermaid-style gown that hugs her curves perfectly. Her consultant adds a removable tulle overskirt to add a touch of whimsy to the dress, making it the perfect dress for festivity and celebration.

In contrast, another bride named Nichole is looking for something more classic and timeless. She wants a dress that has a vintage feel, so her consultant pulls out a beautiful lace gown with a V-neckline and long sleeves. Nichole isn't completely sold on the sleeves, though, so her consultant brings out a different dress with a similar silhouette, but without the sleeves. In the end, Nichole chooses the dress without sleeves, but adds a lace jacket to give her the vintage touch that she was looking for.

Another bride featured in the episode is Charde, who has a specific idea in mind for her wedding dress. She wants something that is modern and sexy, but also has a traditional feel to it. Her consultant brings out a dress with a crisp, clean silhouette and a plunging neckline. Charde is in love with the dress, but feels that it is missing something. Her consultant suggests adding a belt to the dress, which ties in the traditional wedding feel that she was looking for, while still being modern and sexy.

Throughout the episode, viewers get to see the pressure that consultants and brides alike face when trying to find the perfect wedding dress. Some brides have a clear idea of what they want, while others are more open to suggestions from their consultant. No matter what their preferences are, every bride ultimately wants to feel beautiful on their wedding day, and the consultants at Hudson Valley Bridal are there to help make that happen.

In addition to showcasing beautiful dresses and emotional moments, this episode of Say Yes To The Dress also features some comedic moments. One of the consultants, Flo, is known for her ability to rap on demand, and she even creates a rap about one of the brides. Another consultant, Debbie, dances around the salon in order to get the bride excited about a particular dress.

Overall, Say Yes To The Dress season 8 episode 1 is a fun and heartwarming look at the process of finding the perfect wedding dress. With a range of brides and styles featured, there is something for every viewer to relate to. The consultants at Hudson Valley Bridal are patient, kind, and truly invested in making sure that every bride finds the dress of her dreams.
