For more than 70 years, thousands of brides have traveled to Kleinfeld Bridal in New York City to find their wedding day looks. From the moment you walk through the doors, you’ll feel the magic of Kleinfeld. Not only does Kleinfeld have 30,000 square feet filled with the largest selection of wedding dresses in the world, it also has the greatest professional staff of over 200 employees who are dedicated to finding and perfecting your bridal look.
This past October, we headed to Georgia with a selection of our newest (and prettiest) wedding dresses to Sea Island for our fifth #KleinfeldEditorial photoshoot! Trust us when we say Sea Island has it ALL. Think top-notch service and hospitality, the most incredible backdrops including river views and private beaches, and the the AAA Five Diamond hotel The Cloister with its Mediterranean-style architecture, peaceful courtyards, grand staircases, and beautiful arches. It’s safe to say that no couple, guest or visitor will be disappointed with this venue! Since it’s a perfect property for a destination wedding (and in this case photo shoot!), we packed 13 dresses and partnered with some of the world’s top wedding professionals including Harper’s BAZAAR top-rated photographer, Allan Zepeda and BRIDES Magazine’s top-rated event planner Sapphire Events, to create an editorial filled with fashion-forward dress options that are perfect for a wedding at Sea Island (or any resort). Every type of bride has her dream dress, and you might just stumble upon yours below.
