Hi.
My name is Sutton Foster, and I am here to find
my perfect wedding dress.
Please make yourself comfortable.
Thank you.
I am an actress, mostly known for my work on Broadway.
I've been working as a professional actor
for 22 years, which is amazing.
- Sutton. - Hi.
Hi.
I'm Lisa.
Welcome.
What a pleasure to meet you.
Thank you so much.
I brought my two best girlfriends,
Megan and Stephanie, and Julien, one of my best friends,
and my dad.
I was always a daddy's girl.
Super excited that he's here.
First of all, I saw you on the Tonys,
and you had a spectacular dress on.
I've been nominated for a Tony award six times.
I've won twice.
I feel incredibly lucky that I've
been able to make my livelihood doing what I love.
I want to go simple.
Nothing too lacy, silky.
I really want to feel like when I'm walking down the aisle,
it's Sutton, and I'm not putting on a costume.
Are you on the same page?
No.
He likes theatrical.
In my mind, it's like Frederick's of Hollywood.
[LAUGHING]
I don't think dad would like that.
Give it a try.
Price point, where do you want to be?
I want to find the dress, and then
I'll look at the price tag. - OK.
Let's go. - Yay!
Yay.
- We'll be right back. - Bye, guys.
Bye.
What's your fiancé's name?
My fiancé's name is Ted.
We were set up on a blind date.
Ted is the smartest man I've ever met.
He always makes me laugh.
He's just sort of unlike anybody I've ever met.
Working with celebrity brides is always a challenge.
Today, she's a bride.
She's not the celebrity.
She's not on the red carpet.
So we have to find something that makes
her look and feel like a bride.
NARRATOR: First up, Lisa puts Sutton in a Romona Keveza.
I'm trying to give you something
that you've never worn before, whether it's
on stage or to a gala.
Wow.
It's gorgeous.
I'm going to start swearing.
Wow.
Yeah, it's a pretty one, right?
I like the swirls.
Don't forget the swirls.
- Well, hello, beautiful. - Oh, Randy!
- Hi. - I'm Randy.
Hi, Randy.
It's so nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
How do you feel?
It's beautiful.
- Look at this. - You're beautiful.
As soon as I put it on, I was like, oh.
Oh, OK.
What do you think your group is going to say?
I have no idea.
What do we think?
Is it too much?
This is Romona--
wait, wait.
Can I just tell them-- can I just
tell them about this dress?
I'm not a fan of the twinkle.
I hear trumpets when I see that, and maybe you
just want violins.
It comes out. I do.
I hear--
(SINGING) Wedding dress.
I want to hear what Dad says.
No, I agree with what they're saying.
A little bit too flashy.
I like the twinkle.
Of course you do, Julien.
You know who you are as a woman,
and you know what you want.
That's right.
Here I come.
- So let's find it. - All right.
Let's find it. Come on.
OK.
All right, bye.
See you in a minute.
NARRATOR: Lisa puts Sutton in a $6,800 Pnina Tornai.
I dig it. I want to show them.
All right.
Oh look at this dress.
Oh, my goodness.
That's so fun.
- Look at this. - Wow.
Yeah, it looks good.
I'm really curious what they have to say.
Me, too.
This is Pnina Tornai.
So guys, what do we think?
When I saw you walking over there,
I thought you looked like a napkin.
[GASPS]
I know.
If you take the little ring, and you squeeze it up the napkin,
and it flares out, that's what she's wearing.
We're going to get, like, a fork and a spoon for--
Stephanie thinks it looks like a napkin, which is a bummer.
I still love the dress.
I really do.
But now I'm going to be like, I'm a napkin.
[LAUGHTER]
I know!
We get that!
NARRATOR: Sutton heads back to the dressing room
to find a dress that beats it.
This is Mark Zunino Couture.
It's beautiful.
All right.
Let's get naked.
Wow, this is, like, a dress.
It might be too much dress.
Yeah.
I'm in a giant dress.
I think it's going to be too much.
This dress is La Sposa Di Gio.
I feel like you're going to the debutante ball.
This one is Dennis Basso.
Nah.
No?
Nothing's wrong with these dresses.
No.
They're beautiful gowns.
- No. - Right?
No.
But there was something very special about the Pnina.
I'm trying to find something that's as special as that.
NARRATOR: After no dress stood up to the Pnina--
- No. - Right?
No.
NARRATOR: Broadway star Sutton Foster goes back out
in the unique dress she loves.
Do I still look like a napkin?
How do you feel?
I feel great.
Your entire personality changes with this dress.
You light up.
Well, what was interesting is we started
trying on other dresses.
And we'd get them on. We'd go, no.
No.
And if you've had on a lot of dresses as a Broadway star--
Right.
Then--
I've never worn anything like this.
I mean, that's-- yeah, that is so key, what you just said.
Should we turn you around and see what they have to say?
Dad, what do you think?
I like this. It's pretty.
What do you like about it?
It looks like she can dance in it.
Yeah.
I mean, really, that's beautiful.
A wise man over there.
Yeah.
It just seems--
it's just there's too much.
How do you feel?
Julien!
This is definitely Sutton's dress,
and I know exactly what I need to do
now to change it up just enough that everyone's
going to love it.
Let's try it without the flower.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I like it all.
[STAMMERING] It's kind of cool.
I'm realizing the more that I have it on, the more
that they're liking it.
I actually love it now.
After I mentioned the napkin part, it actually grew on me.
I love how fun it is.
It's like, all right, come on.
Let's go have a party.
Yeah.
It's relaxed, exactly.
And maybe we can get napkins that--
[LAUGHING]
I'm a bit embarrassed to say I don't think
it looks at all like a napkin.
I think it's beautiful.
I love it.
Julien, what do you think?
The belt made all the difference in the world.
You're wearing the dress, rather than the other way around.
As opposed to the dress wearing me,
which is what I felt like that first one was.
I love it.
Do you feel like you need to see more dresses?
I don't think so.
I've never worn anything like this.
I have to, like, make a decision someday.
I think you should.
It's time to ask the question.
Should we?
BOTH: Sutton, are you saying yes to the dress?
Oh, I just popped my sash.
Yes!
[CHEERS, APPLAUSE]
Everyone's applauding.
That was hilarious.
NARRATOR: Finding the gown that is like no other,
Sutton says yes to a $6,800 Pnina
Tornai with a handkerchief skirt and a sweetheart neckline.
The dress feels like me.
Like my dad said, it feels like something
that I can dance all night in.
