The Best Wedding Reality Shows to Watch Right Now

As The Knot's Entertainment and Celebrity Editor, nothing ~marries~ all of my interests quite like a wedding reality show. A self-proclaimed TLC kid, I grew up watching marathons of Say Yes to the Dress and Four Weddings, and have since graduated to shows like Love Is Blind and The Big Day.

The fact is that you don't need to be planning a wedding to enjoy a good wedding reality show. At their core, these series are the finest form of escapism television. (But if you are in the midst of planning your nuptials, they're the perfect excuse for a mental break when you can't look at seating charts or color schemes for one more second.)

While it's nearly impossible to rank them, I've taken the liberty to compile the best wedding reality shows of all time. The best part? They're all available to stream right now. Whether you've been longing for a throwback 90 Day Fiancé marathon or you and your besties need a new show to watch during your bach party weekend, these feel-good series are fun, light-hearted and oh-so iconic. And, who knows—they might even help you discover some wedding inspo along the way.

Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta

Say Yes to the Dress was so popular that it inspired a spinoff at Bridals by Lori, a wedding dress salon in Atlanta, Georgia. With lovable personalities like Lori Allen, Flori Waters and the iconic Monte Durham, the Southern iteration of this TLC wedding show is as comforting as a glass of sweet tea or a warm slice of pecan pie. While the original franchise featured plenty of memorable guests, the personalities on Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta are bigger, bolder, and even more extreme.

Love Is Blind

Sure, I'm probably not the first person to tell you to watch Love Is Blind…the internet already did that. But when it comes to defining the best wedding reality shows, this one easily tops the list.

For those who do choose to get engaged, they finally meet their fiancés in person before embarking on life IRL. The only catch? They have three weeks until their wedding day arrives, where they must say "I do" or "I don't" at the altar. It's a phenomenon that has taken the world by storm, inspiring spinoff series around the globe—and it's a must-watch for reality TV fans.
