One of TLC's most famous series, Say Yes to the Dress, aired in 2007 and has spanned many, many seasons-- eighteen seasons to put a number on it. This show has been exceedingly influential and spurred many subsequent spin-off series globally. Donning both a glittery crown and royal length veil, when it comes to wedding shows, Say Yes to the Dress is the longest-reigning television series dedicated to the bridal quest for the dress.
While each season is remarkable in its own way, there are some that deserve a spotlit walk down the aisle. Here is an unveiled look at the top ten most memorable seasons of TLC's hit series Say Yes To The Dress.
Season One
Season one is clearly one of the most memorable seasons because this is when the show premiered. This season set the baseline of expectations for the nearly twenty seasons that came after it. The iconic questions "Will you say yes to this dress?" was coined in this season and this question has since swept through bridal appointments globally. Brides would be hard-pressed to find a salon that won't echo the show's spotlit phrase.
While the show remains true to the first season, going back to rewatch this premiere will not prove as visually satisfying, because of camera quality has improved greatly since 2007.
Season Two
After the success of the show's premiere season, season two of Say Yes To The Dress was tasked with finding its niche in the TLC reality television umbrella.
Now a Say Yes to the Dress legend, Randy Fenoli also made his debut in this season, helping to cement its place.
Season Fourteen
There are celebrities galore in this season of Say Yes to the Dress. From television stars, Disney stars, Paralympians, and even bridal designers, many well-known faces grace this season.
Martha Stewart, Corbin Bleu, Hayley Paige, and Amy Purdy all appear in various episodes of this season.
Season Eighteen
The final season of TLC's original Say Yes to the Dress, season eighteen is the perfect goodbye to the series that coined the question "Will you say yes to the dress?" and inspired so many bridal spin-off shows, such as Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta, Say Yes to the Dress: Ireland, and Say Yes to the Dress: Randy Knows Best.
Season Seven
From clinging the phrase "boob mirage" to Kleinfeld history, this season is one for the books. While one bride says she doesn't want a sweetheart neckline, because of the structural magic that makes her look more well endowed, another bride breaks a record and spend $70,000 during her bridal appointment.
Another bride splurges on a silver Pnina Torani gown that costs more than some salaries.
Season Thirteen:
This season differs from others because it ends with a trio of episodes that feature three separate Kleinfeld brides (Candace, Persia, and Erendira) as they walk down the aisle in their stunning Kleinfeld dresses and live out the big day in which they've been waiting for.
This is a great addition to the show because it reminds viewers that not only is the dress important, but the big day is even more special.
Season Twelve:
Season twelve ends with a coupling of episodes with a "Since The Big day" feature. This is incredibly memorable for Say Yes to the Dress because it furthers the notion of marriage. Not only must you say yes to the dream dress, but you must also walk down the aisle and make your vows. What comes after the vows is most important: your life together.
This season reminds audiences that love is meant to last a lifetime and that dream dress is merely a highly anticipated part of your ceremony.
Season Sixteen
Season sixteen has its fair share of drama, from a bride looking to be dressed in black to another bride with a dog also needing a matching wedding dress.
Even after the episode where Randy Fenoli draws attention to the number of celebrities that have graced the show's salon, Barabara Cocoran from Shark Tank makes an appearance in episode seven.
Season Seventeen
This season explodes with grand gestures, royal themes, and sparkles galore. The seventeenth season of TLC's Say Yes to the Dress is most known for dressing 52 brides in their dream dresses and coordinating a mass ceremony in New York's Central Park.
Season Fifteen
Season fifteen is a unique season because not only does it feature astounding dresses, opinionated and vocal entourages, and even an underwater wedding ceremony, this season also features a Pnina Tornai fashion show. Pnina Tornai is a wedding dress designer who is exclusive to Kleinfeld's and brands herself with lace, corsets, and sparkle gowns.
This fashion show, which is in episode six "Not Hell Nor High Water" is a unique chance for audiences to see the decadent gowns being unveiled on the runway.
