Hi Guys!
OMG, my wedding is in a matter of days and I cannot believe it. I wanted to share this post with you about shopping for my wedding dress at the infamous Kleinfeld. If you haven’t checked out shopping for my bridesmaids dresses at Kleinfeld, you can read it here. I’ve been obsessed with Kleinfeld ever since I saw my first episode of Say Yes To The Dress. I remember thinking, “wow that’s a massive bridal store, I’d love to pick a wedding dress there”. Well, sometimes you have to speak things into being.
Last August, I had the honor of setting foot into Kleinfeld for the very first time and I was amazed. It surpassed all my Bride dreams. I sat and waited for my stylist, his name is Shay and, he is amazing! I mentioned before in a previous blog post that The Knot chose me as one of their most influential weddings for 2018-2019. Now for a little back story. I had met Shay briefly three months before at The Knot’s Royal Wedding watch party, and he was so meticulous in scoping out my style and recommending me the most amazing dresses.
Once I had booked my appointment, Shay took me on as his bride and at our first appointment he pulled me a few dresses to try on. The very first dress I tried on I absolutely fell in love with. It was a little scary because for every other dress I tried on, I kept thinking about that first dress. I knew in my heart, that very first dress was THE DRESS. I tried it on again and I burst into tears, that’s when I knew for sure, I had found my dress.
I wanted to share with you some of the other dresses I tried on at Kleinfeld. Please note, my actual wedding dress is NOT in this post. I’ll definitely give you all the details and a video after the wedding.
So let’s look at these I tried on and I’ll tell you why I loved them.
First up is this gorgeous Pronovias Crepe Beaded Dress (Style # CONDESA-DB). I was so drawn by the classic, sexy and romantic vibe of this dress. There is something about crepe that is just amazing. It hugged my curves like no other dress has ever before. I was so drawn to the back details on this dress too. I felt empowered and like a true modern bride in this dress. If I was having a winter wedding, small and intimate, this would have been the dress.
Moving on to this glorious YSA Makino dress fit for a princess in her own right. It’s dawned with jewels and is remarkably beautiful in person. I swear, this photo does this dress no justice. I love the jewels laid in the back to give that extra glam for the extra bride. I felt like a trophy covered in beautiful jewels in this dress. Oh I wish I could wear them all.
I absolutely adored the lace details and the craft on this Isabelle Armstrong dress. This one was in my top three and can you blame me?! I felt so beautiful in it. It’s the perfect touch of romance and glam. This dress also hugged my curves exactly how I wanted it to and it all felt like a dream.
And last but not least, this beautiful Rivini Gown (Stye # ESTEE) with the most gorgeous victorian collar. Now, this dress gave me feel of a victorian princess. I am obsessed with medieval, georgian, and victorian times movies and shows so, I was living my best life in this dress. The details on it was impeccable and has all the wow factor any bride would want. I love the cap sleeves- this dress is modern yet classic and beyond beautiful.
I hope you guys enjoyed this post. Stayed tuned until after my wedding, I will share with you, the Kleinfeld dress that I ultimately picked.
xoxo
