Get ready to cry happy tears! In honor of the newest Pnina Tornai bridal collection, ONE, we asked our past Kleinfeld brides who wore Pnina Tornai wedding dresses on their special day to tell us all about their love stories and how they came to find their “ONE”. Read on to see our favorites, below.

Madison & the Kleinfeld Sample Sale

Believe it or not, when Madison envisioned her dream wedding dress and sketched it out, she never thought she’d find the identical style, meant just for her, at the Kleinfeld Sample Sale. “My husband got in line for the sale at 2 AM in the freezing cold. When I got up to leave with him he said if I was too tired, I wouldn’t have fun and find my dream dress, so I slept and joined him a few hours later,” she laughs. She joined her husband as the sale began, and started her search for the dress she had longed for. And like fate, her consultant pulled out a Pnina style almost identical to what she had sketched out. “It was one of the best days of my life. Kleinfeld is seriously the best place on earth,” she says.

Michelle & An Open Mind

Even though Michelle envisioned herself in a romantic princess ball gown, she came to Kleinfeld with an open mind and recommends all brides do the same. “Allow yourself to try on dresses you would have never thought of trying,” Michelle suggests, “Of course have your preferences, but don’t be afraid to try other styles, because you may fall in love with something different than what you originally had in mind!” she boasts. The best part of her shopping day at Kleinfeld? “The day I found my dress, Pnina happened to be there, and I was able to say YES to the dress with her,” reminisced Michelle.

Sam & Her Custom Overskirt

“My appointment at Kleinfeld was my first ever bridal gown appointment and I found my dress after trying on only 5 dresses,” said bride Sam, “I picked out several Pnina Tornai gowns to bring into my dressing room, and when I put this one on I just knew. I felt so beautiful and my mom looked at me and said ‘this is so YOU!'” From there, Sam’s consultant and Pnina worked together to create a custom overskirt to compliment her dress. It was a dream come true!

“My Kleinfeld experience was not only fun, it was one I will never forget. From start to finish, everyone was so nice and helpful. I would not recommend any other place to find your wedding dress than Kleinfeld Bridal,” said Christina, a registered NYC nurse. “Through it all, Pnina Tornai Boutique Manager Ally was there to reassure me every step of the way,” she said, “Ally answered all my dress-related questions, comforted me when I felt anxious through unprecedented times, and even thanked me for my work during Covid,”

Kathy & Her Surprise Proposal

“Growing up, I would always watch Say Yes to the Dress and knew that one day I would go to Kleinfeld to find my very own dream wedding dress,” said Kathy. After a trip to New York City (and a surprise proposal!), she booked an appointment for Pnina’s trunk show. “I knew I wanted Pnina to be my wedding dress designer because she is the Queen of Bling, of course,”

Katy’s Fairytale Dreams

Instagram post

Looking for a wedding dress inspired by her love of fairytales, Katy found her perfect Pnina Tornai style at her appointment. “When I saw my dress, I immediately fell in love with it. I wanted to wear a princess-like dress at my wedding, and this one was even better than everything I ever dreamt of,” said Katy.
