Show
editThe program mainly chronicles two aspects: the owners of VOWS, Rick and Leslie DeAngelo searching for discounted and discontinued dresses in back rooms and department store warehouses to sell, and the brides that come to the store searching for the deeply discounted dress of their dreams and the experience of the shop.[3][4] Generally the name-brand designer gowns sell for 50-80% off their original pricing.[5]
The show premiered on August 24, 2012, and was renewed for a second season, which began on April 19, 2013.[6][7]
Reception
editTom Conroy of Media Life Magazine called the show painless and inoffensive but cited its apparent appeal to audiences as inexplicable.[8]
