I was on Don’t Tell the Bride – here’s what really happened behind the scenes & a secret about the wedding dress

A BUSINESS woman who appeared on Don't Tell The Bride has spilled the truth on what really happened behind the scenes. The British reality show gave engaged couples a £12,000 budget to plan their big day - but the twist was that the bride couldn't have any part in the planning process.

Now, one luxury bridal shop owner has spoken out on social media about her experience on the show, and she claims that it was mostly faked. She appeared on the show twice while working for previous employers, and helped groomsmen choose a dress for their 'unknowing' bride.
She says her stories took place around 15 years ago, and she didn't want to name the couples in case they got in trouble for breaking the show's strict rules. But she tells viewers that they could easily work out who it was, as she appeared in both episodes.

While working for a bridal shop in Swansea, she says she received a phone call from a bride who was due to appear on the show in a few weeks. She said the bride had set her sights on a particular dress, which they agreed to order in for her. "So the groom comes in, he picks the dress as if it was, like, on the hanger ready, in her size.
"Dresses take six to nine months to order.". Jess said the stunt was "strategically" planned, and when the dress was revealed, the woman faked her surprise in front of the cameras. In another episode, Jess said she had to deal with "drama" from a bride who was a "very good actress".
