If you’ve ever seen an episode of TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress, then you may be familiar with Kleinfeld’s, a New York City bridal boutique located in the Chelsea area of the city. While in New York, we took a trip to visit Kleinfeld’s and got an incredible behind the scenes tour of the boutique.

From the outside you are greeted with beautiful windows. The windows are changed often to reflect different gowns as well as the seasons and trends.

Once you have entered, you walk into a beautiful sitting area where you can wait for your appointment to begin. Each appointment is an hour and a half. Dresses are priced starting at $2,500. Kleinfeld’s recommends no more than four people at your appointment.

The salon area is large and open with lots of great lighting. There is plenty of seating for your party and raised platforms with mirrors so you are able to see yourself while trying on dresses.

Something that we thought was really cool was that they offer video cameras for family members who are unable to make the appointment. This video camera can connect the bride-to-be with her family so she can show off her dress!

The downstairs level is shoe heaven – they have many brands and styles. Not to mention, they also have a fabulous jewelry selection as well as gorgeous evening bags!

Besides the beautiful heels, we especially loved that they also had flat options. These metallic Jimmy Choo sandals are the perfect thing to change into so you can dance all night!

 They have a separate room just for embroidery, lace and beading. All of the detail work on their dresses is done by hand.

Kleinfeld’s also does all of the dress alterations in-house. Because a dress requires several fittings, you are matched with an alterations specialist, and you meet with her each time to ensure a perfect fit!

So, if you are in New York City and looking for a wonderful place to shop for a bridal gown, Kleinfeld’s is a great option!
