Gorgeous wedding gowns at KTLA studios.
Some say your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and the wedding gown, well that’s arguably THE MOST important dress of your life. So, could you imagine having the public choose your gown? Well, that is exactly what Los Angeles Times Assistant Editor Allison Kornberg has chosen to do, letting people just like you and I make the vote for her gown and other essential wedding decisions on her “Plan My Wedding” blog.
Style Seen Daily Co Founder Crystal Fambrini appeared on The KTLA Morning Show with Jessica Holmes to show Allison three options for wedding dresses and accessories. Wedding lines Aalia Bridal Couture, Ullaa Maija Couture and Angel Sanchez each provided a dress. Crystal went shopping at Westside Pavilion and The Los Cerritos Center and pulled diamonds from Zales, pearls from Ben Bridge, and costume jewelry from Nordstrom.
It’s time to make some decisions, and Allison needs our votes to figure out which dress she will be wearing walking down the aisle.

And here is the KTLA live video…
Ivory Gown by Aalia Bridal Couture.
Couture Bridal Designer Nanaz Hatami created the gorgeous Aalia Bridal dress and was with us behind the scenes helping fit the models. She told us she got her inspiration of designing when she worked for SAKS in the 80′s in the wedding department and scoped out all the incredible pieces from various designers. Nanaz has had the honor to work with Valentino and Oscar De La Renta. Making elegant wedding gowns is not the only thing Nanaz does, evening wear and mother of the bride is also part of her line. Bride to be Allison described Hatami’s dress as “enchanting” and stated “even my grandma, the toughest judge of the whole brood, said it oozed my personality.” The couture gown is priced at $2500.

Will Allison wear this dress by Ulla Maija Couture?
This uniquely crafted gown called ”Stephanie” is by designer Anna Maier of Ulla Maija Couture. Each dress is custom made for each bride. Allison loved how this gown was “three or four dresses in one depending on the angle you looked at it,”and told us she “melted in it” when she put it on. The beautiful draping and exquisite fabrics — dutch satin and italien taffeta– makes this gown very luxurious.
So, have you fallen in love with this gown? The Stephanie Gown is available at SAKS in Beverly Hills and the designer Anna Maier will be there in person on August 14, in case you are looking for a designer. The Stephanie is priced at $4,900.
And what girl doesn’t love a little sparkle, Crystal paired diamonds from Zales: The Diamond Store to this dress for an extra pop. Diamond teardrop earrings, priced at $2,400.
How about some flower power too, hand embroidered with Swarovski crystals this brooch completes the dress, also can go in brides hair.

“Simple yet elegant” Allison told us of the Angel Sanchez off white gown. The designer Angel Sanchez is know for his elegant designs and architectural flare, also keeping in mind a feminine glow with a touch of drama to each dress. It is a beautifully crafted piece of art made of fabrics. The dress is priced at $2,860.
We added some extra glow to this piece with accessories from Nordstoms. The Nadri chandelier earrings priced at $138 and Nadri Bangles priced at $100.
Celebrites like Eva Longoria, Brooke Shields and Salma Hayek are also fans of this designer for their big day, because of the way the dress celebrates a women’s body. Focusing on the structure of the dress and keeping in mind, “less is more.”
