In Celebration of ‘Bringing Up Bates’ Return, a Look Back at the Bates Brides (PHOTOS)
Tori Bates and Bobby Smith
Married December 16, 2017
This. Photo. Is. Everything.
Tori chose mauve, lace-sleeved dresses for the special girls in her life who will always have her back.
Tori and Bobby added holiday touches to their wintertime wedding. Very “marry,” indeed.
The lace train of Tori’s dress is absolutely show-stopping.
Michaella Bates and Brandon Keilen
Married August 15, 2015
The dramatic sweep of Michaella’s gown makes this wedding pic frame-worthy.
For their late-summer wedding, Brandon opted for elegant brown attire for himself and his groomsmen, while Michaella’s attendants wore soft pinks and browns.
The pretty, tiered dresses and scalloped hems give each of the bridesmaids a soft, ethereal look.
Alyssa Bates and John Webster
Married May 24, 2014
Alyssa’s curve-hugging drop-waist gown is perfection, and John’s grey suit is timeless and chic.
And with a background as gorgeous as this, Alyssa and John kept their wedding photos simple and let their love shine through.
Zach Bates and Whitney Perkins
Married December 14, 2013
Zach scores major points for choosing stylish, cowboy kicks as his wedding day footwear.
Zach and Whitney’s December wedding featured a classic black, white, red and silver motif. The color palette allows everyone in the Bates Family to rock their favorite style while remaining perfectly coordinated.
Erin Bates and Chad Paine
Married November 2, 2013
We love that Erin and Chad put a playful twist on the “no peeking” tradition.
Erin’s bridesmaid dresses are a gorgeous sky blue and perfectly match their joyful flowers.
Each of the Bates weddings features swoon-worthy flowers.
Gil Bates and Kelly Jo Callaham
Married December 19, 1987
Big hair, big flowers, big love.
It’s the wedding that started it all!
With a love as honest and endless as Gil and Kelly Jo’s, it seems fitting that both wore white.
The Bates Family requests your presence at yet another Bringing Up Bates wedding — Zach and Whitney’s vow renewals! And that’s not the only set of nuptials in the works for the new season…
First, we’ll see Carlin’s special engagement moment when Evan proposes during a surprise trip to Maine. And stay in the wedding spirit because the newly-engaged Josie and Kelton will make things official by walking down the aisle and officially saying “I do”!
In celebration of all of these marital moments on the way, we’re taking a look back at all of the Bates’ big days. With so many Bates brides (and grooms!), each wedding is packed with Pinterest-worthy ideas. Click through the gallery above to see them all!
And sound off below: Which lovely wedding gown is your favorite? Whose color-scheme will you snag for your own big day? And who do you think is the next Bates to get married?
