Kleinfeld Love Stories

Kleinfeld Love Stories: Grace & Phil

About the Proposal

Phil proposed to me in one of our favorite places: Longwood Gardens. Despite the rain from Hurricane Ian on October 1st, 2022, we strolled through the gardens before heading into the conservatory. There in my favorite spot, which is a hallway filled with lush greenery and blooming flowers, Phil got down on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. Moments later, our immediate family and close friends rushed in to celebrate our engagement. The surprises didn’t end there! After leaving Longwood Gardens, Phil and my parents had arranged a surprise engagement party at my parents’ house where we were joined by even more loved ones. It was the second most special day of my life filled with joy, love, and unforgettable memories.

About the Dress

Kleinfeld Consultant:

Brandi

After trying on 71 dresses, I realized that there was only one place that could have my dream gown: Kleinfeld! Having grown up watching Say Yes to the Dress, it had always been my dream to find my dress at Kleinfeld. The moment I slipped into a full lace Pnina Tornai gown, I felt it in my heart that it was the one. But after such a long search, I needed a moment to be 100% sure.

My dedicated stylist, Brandi, went above and beyond to make my say “yes” moment unforgettable. When no appointments were available for me to return the next day, Brandi arrived early the next day just to give me the chance to try on the gown again in a quiet, meaningful setting. With my mom and grandmother by my side, I finally said “yes” to my dream Pnina Tornai gown.

My experience with Brandi and the entire Kleinfeld team was nothing short of magical. It was everything I had dreamed since I was a little girl.

About the Wedding

Location:

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania  //  

Venue:

The Ivy at the Ellis Preserve

Our wedding was nothing short of magical. It was an unforgettable celebration of love, joy, and family. The day began with a traditional Catholic ceremony held in the very same church where my parents got married exactly 32 years and 2 days earlier. As I walked down the aisle, Phil and several others were moved to tears.

Set against the backdrop of a breathtaking, brand new wedding venue, The Ivy at Ellis Preserve, every detail of our reception was thoughtfully curated. From the romantic floral arrangements to the candlelit reception where guests danced the night away, it was the perfect evening.

What made the day truly remarkable wasn’t just the beauty, but the energy. We radiated happiness and our love story was felt in every vow, every smile, and every teary-eyed toast. Surrounded by laughter, music, and the people we love most, our wedding felt deeply personal and full of heart. It wasn’t just a beautiful event, it was a memory that everyone who was present will treasure forever.
