A TikTok-famous bride on 'Say Yes to the Dress' said she's looking for a wedding gown that will 'go viral'

• Amanda Valencia is TikTok famous for her hairstyling videos and has over 3.6 million followers.
• Valencia will be featured in Saturday's episode of "Say Yes to the Dress."
• She disagreed with her family about the type of dress she should wear in a clip from the episode.

A TikTok star will swap the little screen for the silver screen on Saturday's episode of "Say Yes to the Dress."

Amanda Valencia, known by her handle @itsaboutamanda, became a TikTok sensation for her videos where she curls her hair with unexpected objects like carrots, Pixy Stix, and pencils for her 3.6 million followers.

Valencia is also engaged, and the bride-to-be documented her journey to find her dream wedding dress at Kleinfeld Bridal on TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress."

In an exclusive clip of the episode, Valencia meets Kleinfeld consultant and designer Randy Fenoli, which is particularly exciting for her as she has her eye on one of his dresses, as she said in the episode.

"I love Randy because he knows what a bride needs," she said. "I want to make an entrance when I walk in, and he makes the perfect dress for that."

In the clip, Valencia said she was specifically interested in Fenoli's Anastasia dress, which has a full skirt and is covered in lace.

"Anastasia is definitely a gown for a girl that wants to be that Cinderella princess," Fenoli said.

That vision sounded great to Valencia - but her mom and future mother-in-law pictured her in something more form-fitting, as they said in the same clip.

"I want to see her in a halter top, fitted gown," Valencia's mother, Jodie Arragia, said, adding that she wanted the dress to have a lot of lace and bling.

Michelle Padilla, Valencia's future mother-in-law, echoed Arragia.

"She worked hard to have this body, and it's amazing," she said. "And I know that's what my son wants to see her in."

Despite their different thoughts on what the dress should look like, Valencia, Arragia, and Padilla all agreed the dress had to have a wow factor.

"For TikTok, you have two words. You either go viral or your video flops," Valencia said.

"My dress has to go viral," she told Fenoli.

"Say Yes to the Dress" airs Saturday on TLC at 8 p.m. ET. You can catch up on the 19th season on Discovery+ and TLC Go.
