“i said yes to the dress”
I thought I knew all about Kleinfeld from years of watching TLC’s popular series Say Yes to the Dress. That is, until I got engaged and booked an appointment at the iconic bridal boutique, becoming one of the 19,000 brides a year who pass through its doors. Not only did I find the dress, but I also discovered so much about the magic happening behind the scenes.
