'''''Say Yes to the Dress: Bridesmaids''''' is an American [[reality television]] series on [[TLC (TV network)|TLC]] which follows events at Bridals by Lori in the [[Atlanta]] suburb of [[Sandy Springs]], a bridal shop owned by [[Lori Allen (businessperson)|Lori Allen]]. The series shows the progress of individual sales associates, managers, and fitters at the [[retail store|store]], focusing on bridesmaid dresses and the bridesmaid showroom at Bridals by Lori. It is a spin-off of ''[[Say Yes to the Dress]]''. Soon after the end of its first season, TLC renewed the show for a second season.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/tlc-renews-say-yes-dress-216120 |title=TLC Renews 'Say Yes to the Dress: Bridesmaids' |accessdate=April 8, 2013 |date=July 27, 2011 |author=Philiana Ng |work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]}}</ref>
==Development==
The idea for the spin-off occurred while in the set of ''Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta''. While the producers were in the bridal boutique where the show takes place they overheard a commotion between women in another part of the store over which bridesmaid dresses to select. This gave the producers the inspiration for a separate show based in the same boutique, focusing on bridesmaid dresses and the conflicts between the bride, her bridesmaids, and her family over what designs to purchase.<ref>{{cite news |publisher=[[Access Atlanta]] |url=http://blogs.ajc.com/radio-tv-talk/2011/07/07/tlcs-say-yes-to-the-dress-atlanta-generates-bridesmaids-spinoff/ |title=TLC's 'Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta' generates 'Bridesmaids' spinoff |author=Rodney Ho |accessdate=April 26, 2013 |date=July 7, 2011}}</ref> Allen discussed with ''[[Good Morning America]]'' that the conflict often occurs because of a lack of communication between the bridesmaids and the bride over budget, body-type issues, and the bride's vision for their visual role in the wedding, which Allen states should have been discussed before entering the store, not afterwards.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/bridesmaids-dresses-wear-16466145 |title=4 Bridesmaids Dresses You'll Actually Want to Wear |accessdate=April 26, 2013 |date=May 31, 2012 |publisher=[[Good Morning America]]}}</ref>
