When you’re planning a wedding, your brain is all wedding, all the time, so it makes sense that when you sit down to watch a TV show or movie, you gravitate towards wedding-related options.
Lucky for brides to be, there are a ton of shows out there to please this craving—and some of the best are streamed, so they are ideal for a night of binge watching. Here are a few of our favorites!
SAY YES TO THE DRESS
Where to watch: Netflix
Say Yes to the Dress is the classic wedding show. Getting a glimpse into the exciting moment of choosing your dress is not only interesting, but fascinating. If you haven’t picked your dress yet, it may give you some inspiration, and if you have, it’s still just as addicting. Just be careful: one episode in, and you may not be able to stop!
MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT
Where to watch: DirectTV or Xfinity Stream
My husband and I have been watching this show since the first season, so I was excited when it came on streaming services so I could share the love with my newly engaged friends. It follows three couples who do just as the title says: they get married at first sight! The premise seems a little crazy, but the show feels very real (spoiler: a lot of the couples are still together today!) and it may even help you and your spouse get over some tension you may have.
FOUR WEDDINGS
Where to watch: TLC
Four brides attending each other’s weddings and judging those weddings on everything from the dress to the food can get pretty catty—and that’s why it’s so addicting. Plus, the show is set in all different states around the country, so you may even spot your own wedding venue on the show.
CUPCAKE WARS
Where to watch: Hulu
This may not be specifically about weddings, but something about this cupcake competition show always gets me in the mood for some wedding cake. Just try to avoid this one if you’re on a strict diet—the cupcakes look so good, you may be running out to get one after your show binge!
MARRIAGE BOOT CAMP
Where to watch: WEtv
Do you love The Real Housewives and similar reality TV shows? Marriage Boot Camp is for you. It follows couples, both married and dating, as they do different tasks to help repair their relationship. It’s funny, sometimes crazy, and totally addicting. You’ve been warned.
