I hate rivh bride poor bride. Real people don't have that kind of money to send on a wedding. I would like to see a show where people have to budget and make everything from scratch not spend spend spend....

I think it's real, because they do mention that how much money they spend and how much debt they could potentially own after the wedding!

I think what Danielle is trying to say is that most of the shows are of weddings that have huge budgets.

I love Rich Bride Poor Bride 'cause I get alot of ideas from it. (Hoping to wed in March 2011. LoL... Planning way ahead, but like the article mentioned, Time is of the essence.) However, in terms of the budget, I can't really relate to most of the shows.

The future hubby and I are planning to have a 60 people wedding for a budget of $15000 (excluding rings) and most of the shows are about "Rich Brides".. LoL..

The only the reason they are mainly about rich brides is because the spoiled brats that are getting married are major entertainment value. I am also not sure what show you guys are watching but I myself have seen many very VERY money concious brides. The entertainment value is in the exact opposites, not people who have just enough and coast along with no problems.

Richbride/poorbride is a cool show, it gives many ideas for the bride/groom to be. I also personally met the host of the show.

I am planning a complete Budget Do-It-Yourself wedding in Vancouver and let me tell you, it's difficult, and can be very pricy. Things add up REALLY quickly and it's hard to keep track and on-top of things.

This show has given me SO many ideas that I am using.

I just wish I had enough to hire a wedding planner to help me out!

I think the show is great! It gives me an idea of what I do and don't want on my wedding day.
So Im giving myself plenty of time to plan. Thanks.

I think I have to say that I resent some of these comments. Just because some brides (myself included) have a big budget for our wedding does not make us 'spoiled brats'. We just have different resources than others. And, just because we have the money to do what we want, doesn't mean we don't take on any do-it-yourself projects. Personally, I've designed and assembled all of our invitations, programs, guest favours, etc. myself to save money, even though I don't particularly need to. I suppose it's allvery well and good to mock these these 'rich brides' to a faceless comment board, but just because you're jealous is no reason to hate on us. I don't suppose this will garner any sympathy from anyone, since you've already decided on how to judge us, but keep in mind that we too are people with feelings.

chantal3 i dont think you are a rich bride...and anyway people have the right to say watever they want. I have the money to do what i want and so what??

I love the show. I have seen the episode with a modest budget and it was great. The over the top weddings remind me of what I don't want or need. My Modest Wedding is still costing me $10,000 for 60 people. Suddenly $20,000 doesn't seem like that much.

i'm geting married next year
and we are on disabilly and we
are just wondering if anyone
has any tips for us..
can anyone help..?

When I first heared of the show, I thought it was going to be like some people that are on a fix income to someone that has alot of Money. Not the way they have it now, they compare wedding that happing years ago to now a days People. Which there is alot of people that make least then 30,000 a year.I would like them to compare someone that only makes 30,000 a year to someone that makes way mor then that.Instead of compareing to 20 years ago or so.

Rich Bride Poor Bride is a great show! It gives you examples from other peoples wedding that you can use for your own. Some things are obviously ridiculous when people have 50,000.00$ budgets. But some things are expected to be expensive and it all accumulates in the end. Some have more money than others and that's just part of life. They should make more shows where the budget is very strict and help the brides of today who can't afford much think of ways to switch things up. Otherwise, I love the show!!!
