hey everyone welcome back to my youtube channel! click here if you haven't yet
subscribed, and if you're curious as to where I am right now, this is my mother's
art studio in the house where I grew up. so I'm back visiting my parents. I
actually want to show you what the camera setup looks like right now... there
you go, it's a red Solo cup with some blue powder paint and you got my camera
and there's me! hey! Janky setup we've got going on.
anyway it's 2019! I know it's already been 2019 for quite a while but this is
such an exciting year because this is our wedding year! it's still not that
close, I mean, you know the months are creeping up, but it does feel exciting
every day to wake up and say, "This is the year that's going to be our wedding year!"
wedding planning is going pretty smoothly. I think if you look down a list
of to-dos for planning a wedding, we've pretty much tackled almost every item so
things are going really well. and I think probably the most fun part for me so far
has been choosing my wedding dress! I mean, I just don't know how to describe
the sensation of finding that dress, laying eyes on it, and then putting it on
and laying eyes on it while you're in it! there's something just magical about
that moment. when it came time to look for dresses, there was really only one
shop that came to mind and that was Kleinfeld. I don't know if it's because I
am obsessed with "Say yes to the dress" and that's where they film the show, or if
it's because my future mother-in-law actually got her wedding dress at
Kleinfeld in the 80s...whatever the reason, Kleinfeld was just the number one
place that I thought to go, so I went for my first time. and I already showed you
some of the dresses I tried on there. it only took me two appointments at
Kleinfeld before I found my dream dress. and this is what happened: so the first
time I went I tried on a whole variety of dresses and truthfully I liked almost
everything I tried on. I don't know how common that is for a bride to try stuff
on and to like almost everything but I really did...I mean I didn't know what I
was looking for. I had some ideas of certain designs and styles that I was
gravitating towards, but I really liked everything. and when I went back for the
second time I was like, "I guess I'll try on some of the same ones and maybe add
some new ones." but what I really thought was gonna happen is that I was gonna
walk away and pick the one that I just liked the most. I thought I was gonna be
like, you know, "I like everything here, so I'll go with this one!"
I felt fine about that but at the end of the day when I really think about it, you
don't want to just LIKE your wedding dress...
you should LOVE your wedding dress. I mean this is the dress that a lot of
young girls dream about for their whole lives (if they plan on getting married), so
I really wanted to love my dress. and it wasn't until my second appointment when
I had tried on a few of the same dresses from the first one that my Bridal
stylist at Kleinfeld (Debbie) came out and I remember she specifically said, "Hmm I
think I'm gonna go grab one new dress for you, it just came in from Milan. let
me go get it." she ran away and she came back with this dress in clear wrapping
and she unzipped it...I looked at it. my jaw dropped to the floor. I remember
reaching out and touching it and then I remember lifting it off the hanger,
looking at it, and then turning it towards the mirror and stepping into it...
in that moment, as I was stepping into it, I was looking at myself in the mirror
thinking, "wow I'm putting on my wedding dress for the first time. this is really
exciting, I want to remember this moment!" and you know what?I didn't remember this
moment because I'm telling you about it now! I'm taking you right now to find my
family and we're gonna see how they felt about my dress trying on experience. all
right mother, what was it like when your daughter Lucie (me) tried on her dress for
the first time? she was in another room and I heard a scream. what did I say
...so I stepped in. my family was in the other room and I yelled to them..."Guys,
you're gonna die!" and they were all like, "Okay." so I went into the other room -
silence - no one said anything. I was like uh ... do we like it? do we hate it?why is
nobody talking here? and then finally they started talking and they, just as I
felt, were blown away and they thought it was perfect. Hey Dad, how did it feel when
I picked out my wedding dress and you saw me in it for the first time? oh my
god it was magical! it was so magical! you were like a fairy princess. did you like
the dress better than all the other ones I tried? it's the most beautiful thing
I've ever seen, even better than the socks I like a lot!
Allie - how did it feel? It was a magical experience. it was? and so like, as the
maid of honor, did you approve of the bride's dress? yeah I loved the bride's
dress! didn't compare to any of the others. It was totally the right decision, and we're thrilled!
so yeah, Michael, what do you think my dress looks like? I don't know every time
you show someone a picture of it they just say, "Wow, that's
really beautiful." Based on all the reactions, do you think it's white, black,
red? something white, not too short but on the short-ish side, and....what do you mean
short? like showing my knees? I don't really know! He thinks it's showing my knees! You know most gowns are to the floor.
Are you talking about a train? totally. when I first was trying on
dresses I called the train the trail. I said --- oh, the trail's showing! Everyone was like, "It's called a train."
So one more question... yeah ...are you ready to get married? Yeah. you are?
yeah let's do it now. We have the dress, what else do we need? we just need you and me and a
white dress baby! WOO! in addition to actually liking the dress, I think they
loved it so much because they could see how much I loved it, and at the end of
the day it's about the bride and how comfortable she feels in the gown -- and I
was truly feeling comfortable. and that's the story of how I found the dress, but I am
NOT gonna show you the dress in this video. but I am gonna give you an inside
look at my time at Kleinfeld and show you some of the beautiful details on the
other dresses that I tried on. my personal approach to being a Kleinfeld
bride was going in and trying on a whole range of dress styles. as someone who was
not that familiar with dress styles before I went in as a bride, it blew me
away how many different styles you can try on.
there's like a princess dress, there's a mermaid dress, there's halter tops,
there's spaghetti straps, deep cuts, no cuts -- I'm using all the wrong terms, just
letting you know! every single piece of fabric in that store is drop-dead
gorgeous, so I'm just gonna disappear because truthfully, it's way more
beautiful than I am. I'm gonna go away and show you the montage.
we found my mom's wedding gown! It has discolored itself in time but anyway, I'm
gonna put it on. I'm in the Dress. oh that's tight hmm will you button these
hand buttons? so this is my mother's wedding dress from 1973 and it fits me
like a glove! the details...this is very pretty. when my mom got married in this
gown she was also wearing a hat and my dad just found the hat.
so I'm throwing it on my head now. let's go see what Michael thinks of this
beautiful look. what do you think? *laughs* it's great, it does fit you very well. so what
did you think? I hope you loved those dresses but none of those are my actual
dress so you'll have to come back tune in to my Instagram account @LucieBFink
around September time and you'll be sure to see the actual dress that I
chose. oh! one other exciting fact is that Kleinfeld has a new feature where they
actually offer dresses for your bridesmaids, so all of my bridesmaids are
getting their dresses at Kleinfeld as well, and it's really fun! I mean not all
of my bridesmaids live in New York but if they did, we could all actually go
into the store at the same time and, on the second floor of the store, there's
a whole bridesmaids dress section so you can have like a little party with
champagne! every one of my bridesmaids is actually doing it online at home which
is also really easy, but it's just great because we're all gonna be Kleinfeld
Brides together! well I'll be the bride, and they'll be the maids! and it'll be
great! thank you for coming back to my channel! I have lots of fun videos coming
