Hey gals,
I have exciting news to share with you. I love the show ” Say Yes to the Dress” and am sure many of you have enjoyed it also. I was just there on my trip to New York. I cannot say enough about the “personal experience” one has upon entering this bridal salon.
I was warmly greeted and given a tour by the owner’s personal assistant. From the first moment a future bride enters this gorgeous salon, she is very special. She is assigned a personal sales associate who guides her through the whole process.
Never have I seen such an assortment of designer gowns at one place and at one time. However, one is not overwhelmed because of the salon’s design and procedure. Gowns range from $1800 to $24,000 and up. Kleinfeld offers both trunk shows and sample sales. Both are a way to save money on a quality gown. The difference between a trunk show and a sample sale is that the trunk show features a designer who brings all of their new line and offers a discount. Whereas, a sample sale offers a significant discount on current or former designs.
The dressing rooms are lovely. One amazing feature is a webcam so that those not present can view you in each gown and share the experience with you.
I toured the alteration rooms and was so impressed by the talented workers who re-did the beading, sequins , etc. as demanded by alterations.
The second floor was home to all the accessories: jewelry, hair pieces, veils, shoes, purses, fur wraps. You name it, you can have it! Nothing is beyond imagination here. They are able to create your total look for you.
Now that I have made this professional connection with Kleinfeld and staff, I hope to assist any future brides in making a trip to New York City for the Kleinfeld experience. I can assist you with appointments, travel, etc. It would make wedding gown shopping a “once in a lifetime” experience.
For the those of you who have watched the show, “Say Yes to the Dress”, what is one thing you have learned that will help you select your perfect gown?
