Hi Everyone,
It was a fantastic day at Kleinfelds! We had 90 appointments and for a Sunday that is great! I worked with Lisa which was a blast today! Our morning started off well, with 2 brides and 1 say yes to the dress! But then everything went from good to great after. We had a bride come in from Dubai and whose wedding was September 4th. This is a huge problem, since it usually takes 8 to 10 months for dresses to be made. So after getting to know the bride and her story I was really attached and hoping we could find a dress. Her story was really cute:
She and her fiancee are from Toronto but never met growing up. They met once in Toronto through work but they were each seeing other people at the time so nothing ever happened. He went to England to work and She stayed in Toronto, she had no clue that he went off to England for work. A couple years later, she decided to transfer to England for work, she met a really nice guy and it was getting serious, but then one night out at a bar in England, someone taps her on the shoulder and it is her fiancee!!! They both had no clue they were in England and they both were in different relationships! After a couple months of talking again, they decided to start dating and now they moved to Dubai together! And the wedding is in Spain for all of the family members to be able to join! A wedding about 400 people!!!
So, her story is super cute but the day gets much better, with the stress of going through sale racks and her style was very hard. She was really into fashion and wanted a vintage dress with lace and glitter. Her budget was a good $5,000.00. Lisa, the consultant I was working with decided to go talk to Pnina, since it was her trunk show this weekend and she was in from Israel, (She has a house in Israel and NYC, she does 2 weeks in NYC and 3 weeks in Israel and cycles through) to see what she could do. Pnina agreed to do a rush fitting for the bride which would cost the bride an additional $1600.00. The bride fell in love with the dress and said yes!! Pnina came in and was taking measurements when the bride announced she is a editor for a magazine, and not only that but her wedding is going to be in the magazine with Pnina's gown. Pnina was thrilled. She has always been wanting to work with Dubai but could never find the connection, well, the bride and her hooked up and decided that there was a man who owned a bridal store in Dubai who would be thrilled to work with Pnina. Pnina cried, the bride cried, everyone was crying! It was amazing!! After that Pnina threw in a $2500.00 veil, NO CHARGE for the bride. It was amazing and so cool to watch this all happen. Everyone was so happy!!
It was a fantastic day at Kleinfelds and so fun!!
Happy Endings From NYC
