"Bada Bling Brides" Is the Business of Getting Married

11/02/2012

In Bada Bling Brides, Vanessa D'Agostino isn't just another bride getting married. She's the daughter of Ron and Lia D'Agostino, who run Sposa Italia, a bridal salon that specializes in over-the-top glitz and glamour.

A top sales manager in the family business, Vanessa knows bridal style -- and more importantly, she knows her own style. So when her parents pressure her to wear a gown embellished with crystals, pick-ups, flowers, ruffles and more, she begins to identify with every pushed-around bride she's ever seen at the store.

The First Family of Italian bridal couture wants to represent the brand on the big day. But for Vanessa, will that mean sacrificing her own vision?

If you're craving drama, fashion and opulence (and you know you are!), get an eyeful and an earful when Bada Bling Brides premieres Thursday, Nov. 8 @ 10|9c.

Hi can someone tell me who made the first dress vanessa was wearing in the episode of bada bling?

Sposaitalia Bridal Salon is one of the most high end professional, and well serviced salon's I have ever been to in Toronto. From the second you walk in you can feel the positive energy in the air, and the welcoming aura that the staff surrounds you with. My sister Amanda purchased her bridal dress from here, and the experience was everything I was looking for as a sister. Lia & the bridal consultants were so loving and like family when they were helping choose the gown. They are the true essence of what a loving family is and definitely let that shine through onto their customers. They make you feel loved and welcome and only have the best interests in mind for you. You must check out this salon if you are looking for a 5 star experience and a 5 star selection of high end gowns.

what happened to bada bling brides
last night...instead some other trash
was on.can't wait for the next episode. I loved it...I would definetly continue watching...loved the setting Sposaitalia...beautiful
...any bride would feel like a princess in those dresses. the ambience of the store is amazing.
can't wait to see what unfolds next
there is always drama when dealing with brides. in my opinion this is
tastefully done unlike some other
trashy reality shows that are just plain stupid and ridiculos. this we can truly relate to. congrats Dagostino family for doing such a good job.

Bada Bling Brides!!! What an amazing show. I enjoyed watching this reality show. I found it to be realistic. I absolutely loved it. I can't wait to see it again, looking forward to the next episode!!!!! I thought it would be on this Thursday again, instead Jersey Brides was on. I watched the first few minutes of it and had to turn my tv off. I did not like it at all.

WHAT HAPPENED TO BADA BLING BRIDES LAST NIGHT. I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE NEXT EPISODE...INSTEAD SOME OTHER TRASH WAS ON. I LOVED BADA
BLING BRIDES. I WOULD DEFINITELY CONTINUE WATCHING. I LOVED THE SETTING SPOSAITALIA...BEAUTIFUL...ANY
BRIDE WOULD FEEL LIKE A PRINCESS IN THOSE DRESSES. THE AMBIENCE OF THE STORE IS AMAZING.CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT UNFOLDS NEXT...THERE IS ALWAYS DRAMA WHEN DEALING WITH BRIDES. IN MY
OPINION THIS SHOW IS TASTEFULLY DONE UNLIKE SOME THOSE TRASHY REALITY SHOWS THAT ARE JUST PLAIN STUPID AND RIDICULOS.THIS WE CAN TRULY RELATE TO.
CONGRATS TO SPOSAITALIA FOR DOING
SUCH A GOOD JOB.

Where was bada bling brides last night was looking to see more
Tlc when are you putting more on
That Jersey brides show is so painful to watch I will not watch that trash

[Enza]

Watched Bada Bling Brides last Thursday,and I was looking forward to watching it again this Thursday and I was shocked to see Jersey Brides instead. It was just awful, didn't like Jersey Brides at all. Put Bada Bling Brides back on!!!!!! I found Bada Bling Brides to be realistic and funny!!!!!

This show belongs on local cable not TLC! The most poorly produced show I have ever seen. It was so scripted with the "friend"almost backing out of the wedding at the last minute. I am surprised TLC would air such an amateur show on prime time.

[Antonella]

This has to be THE WORST show ever on TLC! Jersey Shore meets Kleinfeld wanna-be! I grew up in Toronto Canada, and this show & the family embarassement to all Canadians! I know all bridal shows have a male compenent, but really, a "dress fluffer"! Bada Bling how has about as much class as Honey Boo-Boo!!!!!!!!!!! Sposaitalia should spend money on a good alterations department, neither of your daughters' dresses fit correctly in the bust .......... shame on you D'Agostino family, what a joke!
