*HereditaryWeddingDress: Comes up fairly often, especially in cases where a bride's mother has passed away and thus won't be at the wedding.
** Some brides will decide to wear a new dress but, to honor their mothers (or sometimes future mothers-in-law), will wear some other piece of their wedding ensemble--the veil, shoes, jewelry, or something. This then adds an extra complication to the dress shopping, as they now have to find a dress to fit the accessories, rather than the other way around.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: One episode of ''Atlanta'' had a bride who had been dating her groom long-distance... and hadn't actually ''seen him in twelve years'' when they got engaged. She neglected to tell her bridal party this until the appointment, [[YoureInsane which got the expected reaction]]. Her sister was also a bit hurt she wasn't told. As revenge, her friend and sister put her in a ridiculous dress on purpose, and broke down giggling as soon as she walked out in it, confessing to the prank. Fortunately, the bride thought it was hilarious once she realized the joke.
* BigBeautifulWoman: Plus-sized brides are given just as much attention and care, and the consultants make it clear they think women of any size are beautiful... ''especially'' when they find the perfect dress. The show does show how shopping is harder for larger women, since they're much less likely to find something perfect in their size on the rack, but given enough time and help from the consultants, they can almost always get what they're looking for.
