Bride Spends Over $200,000 On Custom Pnina Tornai Dresses! | Say Yes to the Dress | TLC

Kleinfeld is usually full of

bride

s, but on the days it is closed, they open the store for private appointments with my

bride

s who want a unique piece. This ensures that I can give them all the care they need. My name is Allie McGowan and I work exclusively with Pnina Tornai. For the past two years as manager of her boutique, no one designs

dress

es like Penina, so it is an absolute honor to work side by side with her every day. Enthusiastic. Let us begin. Hey. Hey. Three Panini VIP

custom

ers are coming today. Could you step in and help me?

Absolutely. My absolute pleasure. Panina walks away. Nicole is the best choice because she knows the Panini collection inside and out. Thank you. You are welcome. My pleasure. The daughter of an Angolan cabinet member is about to arrive. She and her family have flown from Africa to try on the nine

dress

es she bought at Panini. That's how they are. Everybody here? Yes. Now, Leila will only be in town for the next three days. That's now. Leila, we really don't have much time. She is spending over $100,000 for Panina to dress her entire bridal party. Everything has to be perfect.

It is always my dream to have Pnina Tornai dresses. The dresses are very glamorous with lots of crystals and I love it. I want to look like a princess. Like a queen. And we have the bridesmaids. Hey, Leila, we're going to have fun today. So, how do you say let's party in Portuguese? Come on. Let's celebrate. I'm going to celebrate a big wedding with 800 people. Turn around. I want my wedding to be bigger and better than the other weddings I've seen. Wow. Beautiful. Now, Leila's first dress is for a wedding license signing ceremony that only the family attends.

And the price of this dress is 30,000 dollars. Oh God. Beautiful. So beautiful. Turn around. Wow. We have a beautiful butt. We need to show it. Loreta. This dress has thousands of hand-embroidered Swarovski crystals. Everything is made with a very special silk tulle. What is your future husband's name? Pedro. Pedro. My name is Pedro Garza. He has a beautiful personality and we love each other. This is you. Wow. Oh my God. I am so beautiful. Are you. How gorgeous. Perfect. Now let's try the other one. Of course we are. Now, the second dress is a ballgown for her ceremony.

Oh my. God. Ryan, this is it. Amazing. It takes about 300 hours to work on a dress like Naulila's. Quality control is the most important stage in the entire process of making these dresses. We have a magnifying glass like that, and we go through beads and points. And we have to check the tool because a hole in a tool can be made with a pin. Do you want me to take off my skirt now? Now, Lila is practically royalty in her country. She couldn't just make him a normal dress. So I made this one with a surprise skirt that comes off for the reception.

You are amazing. This is the best. And this is your veil. A veil like this is at least three days of work. This lace has been

custom

made in France, hand embroidered with hundreds of Swarovski crystals. This one is unique. I am so happy that I have no words. For love. Beautiful. And this is perfect for Nina. Now, Lila spent more today than any other bride in Kleinfeld history and she walked away with a total of nine original Pnina Tornai dresses, a surprise skirt, customization, accessories, a total of over $200,000. Ali, cute. Know you. Nice to meet you.

Finally. Nina is waiting. So go ahead. My name is Maria, and I was lucky enough to have Kleinfeld tell me that Nina sometimes makes special appointments if people show this crazy passion for her dresses that I clearly should have made evident over the phone. Nina, this is María Fruci. Nice to meet you. This is very exciting. My pleasure. I don't have a budget. Don't you want to put a price on which is the perfect dress? Because my fiancé and I say this is what I want. And how much is it going to cost me? I would love a party dress with some sparkle, a lot.

Well. I live for bling, but bling is expensive. A bride with an unlimited budget is my dream because I can focus on making the dress perfect at any price. This corset is fully embellished with all Swarovski stones. This is final. I love this. Above. Okay, I'm going to tackle this one. But the skirt. Something with maybe some pills. Not so traditional. I want everyone to be surprised with my selection. I want it to be spectacular. You were saying that you loved to flirt. Oh my god, this is beautiful. It could come in pure white, right? Nina, we can make a target.

We can absolutely make a target. I can tell you that this is probably my skirt. Perfect. Excellent. María returns to the dressing room to combine Nina's two dresses that she loves. This is impressive. I definitely love this. Raise my arms. Yes, good. So it wasn't so bad. Well. This is simply amazing. It is spectacular. This skirt with this top is really bringing my vision to life. Wow. I think we are going in the right direction. Yes, I think so too. Okay, so we love the top. Of course, this will not be the color we are going to use.

Pure white. Yes everything you want. Maybe something that would add a little sparkle to the skirt. Ali, I need the flower. I have a special flower for brides who don't have enough sparkle. They are all hand embroidered with Swarovski stones, but they are not cheap. A flower like that costs around $1,200 a piece. Wow. Is awesome. Do you think we need one wherever we have a truck? Yes, that sounds great. Or you love it. Beautiful. I love when I make a custom dress. It is a work of art. We wanted the entire corset to be lace and.

I love that. And the flower is coming out little. Being able to sit on the couch next to Panina and watch her bring this creation to life is priceless. Then we will have another group here. Is this your dress? It is perfect. I love it. The final sketch that Panina puts together. It's absolutely my dress. It was very exciting to work with Panina and truly create the dress of my dreams. Was. So happy. Thank you so much. Maria had Panina custom design every element of her dress with all the add-ons, customization and accessories. She spent more than $50,000.

This is Nicole. Hello. How are they. You? My name is Cristina Singh. I am 27 years old. According to my parents, I have absolutely no budget. Hello Dad. Nice. You are the one who pays the bills. Well. My dad absolutely spoils me. When I gave my only opening speech, he went to meet Panina. Let's get it going. Enters. I spoiled her. Her father spoiled her even more. She always gets what she wants and she always gets the best. I know how. My dad's favorite. Alright, welcome to Panina Boutique. All dazzling and beautiful. Of course, just the way I like it.

So where is the wedding? Well, the wedding will be at risk. It's in the bay. There will be about 500 guests. Five. Wow. So do you need something? Wow. I am absolutely in love with Loungey Sanitar. Everywhere we go, we get a lot of compliments. They say: There go Brad and Angelina. We are like the couple of movie stars. They were meant to be. Panina This is Kristina and Pnina Tornai Kristina. Enthusiastic. What are we talking about? I love the mermaid. Cut. Sexy. This is the one I saw online and really fell in love with. This is the dress of my dreams.

It's lovely. It is spectacular. What about that one? This? Yes. This is Chantilly. This is traditional for a lace. I love that. Yes, good. Well. I'll help. You. Alright. Come. It is important for me to find my dress today because researching wedding dresses takes at least a year. So I think this will give me enough time to, if I need to customize a dress, I can have it custom made. Well, which one do you want to start with? The dress of my dreams. Of course. I understood that this dress is exactly what I want. Ostentatious and glamorous.

This could be the dress. I love this dress. Okay, well, here he is. Fir tree. You look like a bird. Do you think it looks like a chicken? As a. Ostrich? I will say. Oh, come on. I don't like the top. Because? No, dad. You can see. TRUE. Oh, but that's a style. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You look like a diva. You are amazing. This is exactly what I. But they don't love it. And I think that's sad. You don't love. He? I don't like the background. And dad doesn't like cigars.

The top is too thin. You know, you could see right through it. Most of my dresses have transparent corsets. That's what brides want. It's just that today all fashion is sexier. Of the old school. Well, try another one. What his dad wants. Wow. Oh, Train is amazing. Look at this train. Wow. Ah, there she is. I love what I'm seeing. I love how this dress fits me, but I really love the Chantilly lace that feels so soft. And it just needs more shine. I still can't get the first dress out of my head. Is that possible?

Do you have a dress like that? Well, I'm so nervous that my dream dress doesn't even exist. We don't have a dress like that. But let me see if I can sort things out in my mind. Do you love the first dress beating? Yes. Do you love the lace on the second dress? Yes. And we love the fit of this dress. Yes. Then we need to take three dresses and combine them into one beautiful dress. I can make that dress. Wow. That's why brides come here to work with Panina. She makes them. They are a unique dress.

Now that we have the dress, we need a unique headpiece. Definitely. We need a single veil. Oh, wow. And then a beautiful headdress. I know she will look gorgeous in it, but it will cost more money. She may look like a girlfriend. She's going to look like a princess. Bride. Princess Bride. John, I give you my promise. You're in good hands. I just want to make you happy, baby, because it's going to be your day. You're making me cry. Oh, now you're making me get in my eyes. You look like a bride. You really look like a bride.

When a mother starts to cry when she sees her daughter wearing one of my dresses. That's why I do what I do. I can't wait to see what it looks like. Spin around. Nice. There you go. Dad, I think you should stay here while we ask him the question. Because you have to say yes to the price. So she tries to imagine all three dresses together, the fit of the first and the lace of the second. And the fit and shape of it. Oh my. My God. I'm going to be dazzling. Are you. So, Christina, are you saying?

Yes to the dress? Oh, I say yes a thousand times. Oh. Luck. Thank you so much. Wow. I am going to marry. This dress is definitely worth every penny. It is an honor to dress a bride as beautiful as you. Christina said yes to combining three dresses in one. $45,000, bringing the day's panini total to $300,000 in just three VIP appointments. That's a lot of money.
