Insider spoke to Randy Fenoli ahead of the 20th
season of “Say Yes to the Dress. - Fenoli told Insider it’s hard seeing brides pick
gowns he thinks are wrong for them. - He said he struggles the most when a bride
picks a dress that “does nothing for her.
“As a fashion director at Kleinfeld Bridal, a
designer, and the star of “Say Yes to the Dress,
it’s Randy Fenoli’s job to help brides find their
perfect wedding dresses.
To some, Fenoli’s job might sound like a dream,
and it often is, he told Insider. He gets to help
people pick out one of the most important outfits
they’ll ever wear, learning intricacies about them
in the process.
“Choosing a wedding dress is so personal and
intimate.” he said. “It’s really a bonding
experience when you think about it.”
But Fenoli also told Insider his work has
difficulties, such as when he dresses a bride in
what he thinks is “the most perfect dress” and
intimate,” he said.
“It’s really a bonding
experience when you think about it.”
But Fenoli also told Insider his work has
difficulties, such as when he dresses a bride in
what he thinks is “the most perfect dress” and
she ends up buying something he doesn’t think
looks good on her.
For instance, Fenoli isn’t a fan of sheer wedding
dresses, gowns from the 1980s, or brides wearing
two gowns.
“I try to get them in the dress and show them,
‘Look at what this dress does for your waist, and
look what it does for your figure, and look how it
brings out your eyes,” he said of his process.
Randy Fenoli said it’s difficult when a bride picks a
dress he doesn’t like for her.

“And they put the next one on are like, ‘Oh, I love
this,’ and start crying. And I’m like, ‘Oh my God,
this is a disaster,’ Fenoli said, adding that he is
particularly distraught when a bride picks a
dress that highlights the “worst part of her body
or a gown that “does nothing for her.”
“It is really tough, but if the bride’s happy and
she feels beautiful, that is what’s most
important,” he said.
“That’s when I have to really realize this dress
makes her feel beautiful, so I can’t change what
she feels and I just have to let it go,” he added.
“But it’s hard to sleep some nights.”
Fenoli is currently starring in season 20 of “Say
Yes to the Dress,” which includes a special
episode in which Fenoli reflects on the show’s 15
years on TLC.
You can watch new episodes of “Say Yes to the
Dress” on TLC at 8 p.m . ET.
