ABOUT RANDY FENOLI

“Educate, Elevate & Empower the bride to help her be the best she can be and choose the most important dress of her life.”~Randy Fenoli

As the star of TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress and Say Yes to the Dress: Big Bliss, Randy Fenoli, Fashion Director at the famous Kleinfeld’s bridal store, is seen by millions of viewers and works with nearly 15,000 brides a year!

Born on a cattle farm in Southern Illinois, Randy is the youngest of seven children. Driven by his fascination for design, Randy taught himself how to sew at the early age of 9. Randy’s passion for fashion & design lead him to the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology. While at FIT, Randy won a number of awards for bridal design and achievement.
 
Immediately after graduating, Randy launched two bridal industry collections: Randy Fenoli for the Diamond Collection and Randy Fenoli for Dessy Creations.  
 
Randy is the recipient of two DEBI awards (Design Excellence in the Bridal Industry), the most prestigious award for bridal designers.  

Randy believes that no matter what size, age or shape… EVERY woman is beautiful and it is his job to find her the perfect wedding dress to help enhance her natural beauty.

Besides being featured on both Say Yes to the Dress shows, Randy has found time to appear on other shows including Extra, Get Married, and The Martha Stewart Show.  
 
Most recently, Randy has made personal appearances and has been booked as a guest speaker at many bridal industry events such as the Engage ’10 events in the Cayman Islands and Palm Beach, Encore in Las Vegas, and The Art of Planning Your Own Wedding at The Plaza Hotel in New York City. Randy is often featured and quoted in many publications such as People, In Touch, Bride and Bloom, Southern Weddings, Destination Weddings and Honeymoons. Fenoli also often blogs and contributes to websites including theknot.com, kleinfeldbridal.com, and TLC.com.

Stepping outside of the bridal arena, Randy worked as a fashion commentator for The Associated Press on the red carpet of the 2010 Academy Awards and as TLC’s Royal Wedding Correspondent in Times Square.

Randy looks forward to the launch of his upcoming book It’s All About the Dress in November of 2011.
 
About Say Yes to the Dress
 
Say Yes to the Dress is a television series that brings the viewer into the inner workings of the world's premier bridal salon, Kleinfeld Bridal. Located in Manhattan on a narrow street in Chelsea, who would expect that this three-window storefront opens up to over 30,000 square feet filled with taffeta, organza silk, and feathered creations. Part fashion show, part bridal story, part family therapy, we uncover the hurdles every staff member faces to make each bride completely satisfied on what may be the single most important day of their lives. Watch as a team of specialists guide brides through the process of selecting, fitting, altering and delivering each flawless dress in time for the perfect day. It's not a stress-free endeavor, but somehow by the final fitting Kleinfeld pulls all of the details together. 

Inside over 250 employees work to make every bride that walks through the door feel like she is worth a million. At the top, are co-owners Ronnie and Mara. In the world of high bridal fashion, one would expect the stuffy and standoffish attitude of an owner or two, but co-owners Ronnie and Mara run this business like a family. This is what the "Kleinfeld Experience" is all about. Treating every customer as if they were family, paying every attention to detail and making every bride feel like a star. 

Ultimately, this series is more than a simple story about a woman searching for the perfect dress, whatever the price. It's about the stories behind the story. The people, the personalities, the craftsmanship, the fine attention to detail, and the lengths to which staff members will go in order to make every girl that walks through the door enter a new stage of life with confidence and joy. Kleinfeld Bridal is truly a family; a family of 250 working under the guidance of Ronnie and Mara. 

This is the Kleinfeld Experience...
