Alicia Antonelli’s bridal vision came to life on May 6, 2017 when she wed her true love, Robert Antonelli, at St. Ann’s Church in Staten Island. Her gown was the embodiment of how she had envisioned herself on her wedding day and she couldn’t have been happier with how her custom gown had turned out. 

From the beginning, Alicia knew that she wanted to wear a fitted sheath gown. She also knew which designer made the type of gown she loved: Pnina Tornai. Therefore it was a no-brainer when it came time for Alicia to go gown shopping that she would make the trip to the Pnina Tornai Boutique at Kleinfeld Bridal. With a clear vision of what she wanted to look like on her wedding day, Alicia was ready to try on some gowns. 

Even though her heart was set on wearing a Pnina Tornai gown, Alicia did try on a few other gowns to start. Having no success with the first gowns she tried, Alicia finally slipped into a Pnina Tornai sheath gown with a low back, mesmerizing lace embroidery, and a dramatic train outlined in the same beautiful lace as the corset of the gown. From the moment Alicia put the dress on she knew that it was “the one.”

Alicia exclaims, “It just matched my vision of what I wanted to look like!”

Going for a vintage and romantic look on her wedding day, Alicia loved the classic look of this sleek gown. Since Alicia was at the bridal salon during a Pnina Tornai trunk show, she got to meet and work with the designer of her dream gown! After talking with Pnina, Alicia made a few custom changes to her classic dress.
