TLC RENEWS "SAY YES TO THE DRESS: BRIDESMAIDS"

TLC is announcing that it has picked up SAY YES TO THE DRESS: BRIDESMAIDS for a second season. The network has ordered 18 half-hour episodes, slated to premiere in March 2012.

With a behind-the-scenes look at the bridesmaids salon at Atlanta's Bridals by Lori, SAY YES TO THE DRESS: BRIDESMAIDS gives viewers a sneak peek into the drama of finding a gown that meets the expectations of a diverse group of demanding (and sometimes difficult) bridesmaids. With the help of a new group of outspoken consultants, these wedding day divas must come to an agreement on a look that pleases the entire party. Unfortunately, the style disagreements and hefty price tags are enough to cause the bride's fantasy wedding to turn into her worst nightmare.

Season one premiere episodes of SAY YES TO THE DRESS: BRIDESMAIDS averaged 1.7M P2+ viewers.

Other installments of TLC's hit franchise include SAY YES TO THE DRESS, SAY YES TO THE DRESS: ATLANTA, SAY YES TO THE DRESS: BIG BLISS, and SAY YES TO THE DRESS: RANDY KNOWS BEST.

SAY YES TO THE DRESS: BRIDESMAIDS is produced by NorthSouth Productions for TLC.
