Kalana: I'M SHOWING THESE BRIDES HOW TO GET THEIR DREAM LOOK
WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK.
THIS IS A SHOW FOR SMALL BUDGETS AND BIG STYLE.

TODAY I'M MEETING WITH LAURA.
LAURA HAS HER DRESS, BUT NOTHING ELSE.
Laura: I'M LAURA, I'M 25, AND I LIVE IN LAKEWOOD, FLORIDA.
I'M MARRYING TYLER.
HE IS 27. HE IS A PARAMEDIC, A PHOTOGRAPHER AND EVERYTHING.
TYLER AND I ARE GETTING MARRIED IN CENTRAL PARK
AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO WALK TO OUR RECEPTION.
THE THEME OF MY WEDDING COULD BE DESCRIBED AS GOTHIC-GLAM.
I REALLY LIKE THE 1920s VINTAGE STYLE.
I LOVE BLACK, AND MY FIANCé KNOWS THAT VERY WELL,
'CAUSE OF MY WONDERFUL ENGAGEMENT RING,
AND I WOULD LIKE ALL MY ACCESSORIES
AND MY LOOK TO KIND OF REFLECT THAT.
I DEFINITELY CANNOT GO OVER $300.
I'M SO EXCITED TO MEET KALANA TODAY,
AND I HOPE SHE HELPS ME PULL OFF MY LOOK.
-YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED! -I AM.
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
OKAY. TELL ME. WHAT'S YOUR STYLE?
I LIKE BLACK A WHOLE LOT.
-MM-HMM. -I'M VERY PALE.
-HAVE A GOOD CONTRAST. -YES. [ GIGGLES ]
SO MY DRESS IS VERY STRANGE.
OKAY.
IT'S BEADED AND GLAMOROUS AT THE TOP, LONG SLEEVES...
-OOH I LOVE LONG SLEEVES. -...WITH THE RUFFLES.
I KNOW. I KNOW. -THAT'S FASHION RIGHT THERE.
-EXACTLY! EXACTLY. -YEAH. [ CHUCKLES ]
AND YOU'RE GONNA BE WALKING, BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA BE IN CENTRAL PARK?
-YES. -ARE YOU COMFORTABLE
IN HIGH HEELS?
OR DO YOU LIKE SOMETHING A LOWER HEEL?
-I LOVE HIGH HEELS. -OKAY.
I LIKE REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE, BEAUTIFUL SHOES.
-ME TOO. -RIGHT?
WE'RE MEANT TO BE FRIENDS.
I KNOW! [ BOTH LAUGH ]
SO, BUT THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
I'M GOING TO CENTRAL PARK TO GET MARRIED,
AND THEN OUR PHOTO SESSION IS GONNA BE
OUR WALK BACK TO THE RECEPTION.
OKAY. SO HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT THE ELEMENTS?
WHAT IF IT RAINS?
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE COMING TO NEW YORK FOR A WEDDING,
AND IT COULD RAIN ANY GIVEN DAY HERE.
I WAS JUST HOPING THAT IT WOULD BE PERFECT.
-RIGHT. -BUT I KNOW
IT PROBABLY WON'T BE. -OKAY.
SO, NO, NO PLANS.
SO WE NEED TO JUST PREPARE FOR THAT.
I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE, LIKE, SO BEAUTIFUL ON MY WEDDING DAY
AND IT RAINED, AND IT WAS SO COLD.
SO YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP PLAN.
DO YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS?
ANYTHING THAT YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT?
HONESTLY, I JUST CHOPPED ALL MY HAIR OFF, SO THAT.
-MM. I LOVE YOUR HAIR LENGTH! -THANK YOU!
I MEAN, I THINK THAT ONE THING THAT I'VE GOTTEN FROM YOU
IS THAT YOU'RE FASHION FORWARD, YOU LIKE TO HAVE A LOOK.
AND I THINK THE SHORTER HAIR WILL ACTUALLY GO WITH YOUR LOOK.
I'M HOPING SO 'CAUSE I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO WORK WITH IT
NOW THAT IT'S THIS SHORT.
-I LOVE IT. I GOT YOU. -I NEED A LOT OF HELP WITH THAT.
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
I THINK A LOT OF WOMEN BUDGET FOR THEIR DRESS,
BUT THEY DON'T THINK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.
NOTHING ABOUT ACCESSORIES, NOTHING ABOUT UNDERGARMENTS,
AND IT POPS UP AND IT'S LIKE, OH, MY GOSH.
LAURA ONLY HAS $300 TO ACCESSORIZE
HER GOTHIC-GLAM LOOK.
SO I'M RELYING ON VINTAGE FINDS
AND DEPARTMENT-STORE MARKDOWNS TO STAY WITHIN HER BUDGET.
BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE NEGATIVE SPACE AND THE SKIN SHOWING,
I PULLED SOME OPTIONS OF NECKLACES.
HONESTLY I COULD USE YOUR ADVICE ON THIS ONE.
-OKAY. -BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO STAY TRUE
TO MY ENGAGEMENT RING WHICH IS ROSE GOLD AS WELL SO.
-ROSE GOLD AND BLACK. -AND BLACK. YES.
I THINK SOMETIMES PEOPLE GET AFRAID OF MIXING METALS,
BUT IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT I'M A FAN OF.
I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT LOOKS VERY FASHION FORWARD
AND VERY UNIQUE.
-I'M HONESTLY LOVING THAT. -YOU ARE? OKAY.
YEAH. DEFINITELY.
THERE ARE SOME OPTIONS OF BROOCHES.
YOU CAN REALLY PLAY WITH THESE AND KIND OF DESIGN THEM
THE WAY YOU SEE FIT.
VINTAGE BROOCHES ARE A GREAT ACCESSORY FOR HER LOOK.
SHE CAN PUT IT IN HER HAIR. SHE CAN PUT IT ON HER SHOES.
SHE CAN EVEN ATTACH IT TO HER BOUQUET.
I'VE NEVER EVEN CONSIDERED PUTTING A BROOCH IN MY HAIR.
-YEAH. -SO I LOVE THAT IDEA.
AND THEN EARRINGS.
BECAUSE YOU HAVE SO MUCH GOING ON,
YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING VERY SOFT AND DELICATE.
YEAH, I'M DEFINITELY NOT A HUGE FAN OF DANGLY.
SOME OF THOSE STUDS ARE GORGEOUS.
SO NOW SHOES.
I KNOW THAT YOU LOVE A HEEL. -I DO.
I KNOW THAT YOU LOVE BLACK.
NOW, THESE ARE A BIT OVER-THE-TOP,
BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE BOW HERE,
BUT WHAT YOU COULD DO IS YOU COULD TAKE THIS OFF
AND JUST HAVE, LIKE, A LACE, SEXY PUMP.
SOMETIMES YOU SEE SOMETHING THAT'S FLATTERING,
BUT THERE'S SOMETHING A BIT OFF.
AND ONE LITTLE TWEAK WILL MAKE IT PERFECT.
YOU CAN GO WITH THE COMPLETE OFF-WHITE SANDAL.
YOU CAN USE A BROOCH, YOU KNOW,
A BLACK BROOCH, AND REALLY PLAY AROUND WITH IT.
YEAH, I LOVE THAT.
JUST IN CASE IT RAINS, I BROUGHT A BLACK RAIN BOOT.
RAIN BOOT. [ BOTH LAUGH ]
I LOVE THAT!
BUT I ACTUALLY THINK THESE ARE SUPER CUTE.
I LOVE THE SQUARE TOE. I LOVE THE HEEL.
SO THAT IS AN OPTION, BUT THEY'RE BLACK,
SO THEY'RE FLY.
I'LL STILL BE LOOKING GOOD IN THE RAIN.
RIGHT.
SO, I THINK WE HAVE SOME GREAT OPTIONS HERE.
LET'S TRY SOME OF THIS ON. LET'S PLAY AROUND.
AND I HAVE A HAIR AND MAKE-UP TEAM HERE FOR YOU.
YAY!
SO WE CAN REALLY GET A FEEL OF THE ENTIRE LOOK.
♪♪
I DIDN'T THINK I'D LIKE IT, BUT I LIKE MY TOES SHOWING.
-OKAY. OKAY. -IT'S VERY COMFORTABLE.
AND THESE ARE MORE BLINGED OUT.
SIMPLE.
I LOVE THESE.
-I LOVE THE LOOK... -MM-HMM.
...BUT THEY ARE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
THEY'RE UNCOMFORTABLE. OKAY. SO LET'S TRY ANOTHER PAIR.
♪♪
THESE ARE FUN IF YOU WANTED TO GO A LITTLE EDGY.
BUT I WANT YOU TO BE ABLE TO WALK.
UNFORTUNATELY, MY FEET ARE SO CLAUSTROPHOBIC.
♪♪
BECAUSE LAURA WANTS THIS GOTH-GLAM LOOK,
I THINK A BOLD EYE AND A BOLD LIP IS THE WAY TO GO.
♪♪
I KNOW SHE WAS A BIT WORRIED ABOUT HER NEW HAIRCUT,
BUT I ACTUALLY THINK THE SHORTER STYLE ADDED TO THE LOOK.
♪♪
LAURA'S READY FOR HER FINAL REVEAL,
AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT SHE THINKS.
AFTER COMBING THROUGH VINTAGE ACCESSORIES,
TRYING ON DOZENS OF SHOES, AND A VISIT TO THE GLAM SQUAD,
IT'S FINALLY TIME TO SEE LAURA'S ACCESSORIZED GOTHIC-GLAM LOOK.
-ARE YOU READY? -I'M READY!
TAKE A LOOK!
AH!
OH, MY GOD!
YEAH!
YOU DID IT!
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
I FEEL LIKE GOTHIC-GLAM.
LET'S JUST TALK THROUGH WHAT I DID.
-OKAY. -SO STARTING WITH
YOUR HAIR AND MAKEUP, WE WENT VERY ROMANTIC
WITH THE HAIR -- HALF UP, HALF DOWN.
AND WE ACCESSORIZED IT WITH A BROOCH.
YOUR MAKEUP, OBVIOUSLY WE WENT A LITTLE BIT MORE BOLD.
-MM-HMM. -WE DID A SMOKY EYE.
WE DID THE BEAUTIFUL MATTE BORDEAUX LIP,
WHICH I FEEL LIKE IS VERY YOU.
-I LOVE IT. -SO GORGEOUS ON YOU.
AND I KNOW YOU DON'T LOVE EARRINGS,
BUT BECAUSE YOU WERE REALLY BARE UP TOP,
I WANTED TO GIVE YOU JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING,
SO THESE ARE VERY SIMPLE DROP EARRINGS. THEY'RE $50.
I DID NOT LIKE THE EARRINGS, BUT NOW THAT I SEE THEM ON,
AND I SEE THEM WITH THIS HAIR,
IT JUST GOES VERY NICELY TOGETHER.
SO I REALLY LIKE THE EARRINGS.
AND I KNOW WE TRIED ON A BUNCH OF SHOES,
BUT I REALLY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SHOE WAS VERY YOU.
SO WENT IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION WITH A BLACK SHOE,
WHICH I ABSOLUTELY LOVE.
I TOOK OFF THE BOW THAT WAS ORIGINALLY ON THIS SHOE,
SO IT MADE IT VERY CHIC, VERY SIMPLE,
BUT VERY SEXY.
ONCE I PICKED THE SHOES,
EVEN THOUGH SHE DIDN'T ASK FOR IT,
I KNEW I HAD THE PERFECT BAG FOR HER.
THEN, JUST TO TIE IT ALL TOGETHER,
I FOUND A VINTAGE BLACK BAG THAT I THINK
IS A PERFECT COMPLIMENT TO EVERYTHING.
AND THIS BAG WAS $30.
SO, THIS LOOK IS A COMBINATION OF BARGAIN HUNTING AND VINTAGE.
IT TOTALS OUT TO $185, BUT THE KICKER IS,
I WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU WERE PREPARED FOR THE ELEMENTS,
SO I GOT YOU A FEW ACCESSORIES.
THE BLACK RAIN BOOTS, WHICH I FEEL LIKE
IS THE PERFECT COMPLEMENT. -YES.
AND A CLEAR UMBRELLA,
WHICH WILL NOT COMPETE WITH YOUR LOOK.
IT WAS VERY THOUGHTFUL OF HER TO THINK OF THE WEATHER
AND MY WEDDING DAY.
SO THROWING IN THE RAIN BOOTS AND THE UMBRELLA WAS AWESOME.
THIS IS $100, SO THE TOTAL AMOUNT FOR THIS WHOLE LOOK
IS $285.
THAT'S AMAZING.
I LOVE EVERYTHING.
I FEEL SO PUT TOGETHER AND GLAMOROUS
AND JUST READY FOR MY WEDDING DAY.
