Bride Spends Over $200,000 On Custom Pnina Tornai Dresses!! | Say Yes To The Dress 

Perectly said.

yeah like it been okej for beading missing or the dress was missing becouse they only bougth 1 dress.

She could have used some of that money at an orthodontist. Also a better weave. Just saying.

@@diannesimmons4258 Oh no you didn't!!!! I can't

@@vernamorales2326 lol

So True

The bride should have spent over half the money to help feed the poor homeless people in her country They would be very happy too received food an medical 🏥 supplies for the homeless 😅people and hungry people. Shame on her The people would be very happy. The people would have support her dad’s military and other surveies

@@kathleenlacey6275 her wedding her money if you wanna complain about the homeless take that up to the president her giving her money away to people won’t do anything to help the economy that money won’t last forever and those people will become homeless again there’s homeless shelters for a reason and she deserves to have her dream wedding with the money she worked to get she shouldn’t have to give her money to random people shame on you

@@hamburger2922 you must be part of the family. Try training the people who are willing to work. Improve the living space You’ll see the difference in people. Where are you going to get further military people

@@kathleenlacey6275 why are you now talking abt military we were talking about her wedding and homeless people

They changed her again because she lost weight. They made the dress to her measurements before. Most people tell the seamstress they will be losing weight so it will be factored in

She's an African heiress??? I don't think they're be putting be putting their hand over heart for something like that.

Yeah that’s what happens, if you go buy a dress & get fitted for it then down the road need it tailored again you’re going to be charged again for that labor…

If she's not complaining why not charge her?? You heard her she wants be a Queen 👑 on her wedding

@@m.ghaoui5777 a queen with lipstick on her teeth ???

Right, it cost 30k because dyeing it was so complicated ! Sure, Pnina.

Exactly that whole wedding was 200,000 Pnina is totally seeing $$$ her stuff isn't that great Randy's line is so much better

It hasn't had the beading added, usually, each bead is expensive, and if the whole dress is beaded, then it gets really expensive.

And with ill-gotten, stained and most probably blood money

@@nillaskat1 Totally agree, Randy's line is so much better and less tacky.

I couldn't agree more.

Gok is a joy. So are the chubby brides ladies, but thrse people WANT to be seen squandering money. That is how vulgar and shallow they are. They see their value in labels and cost. If they believed lavatory paper was $1,000 a metre, they would fight over a toilet paper dress. And that Pnina woman APPEARS to have spent the cost of these dresses on plastic surgery, already. Just vulgar bad taste in buckets.

gok all the way

@@georgielancaster1356 chubby brides ladies????

Her dresses are so trashy as well. The brides all look like drag queens.

It’s all Africa if it was not for this people Africa would be wealthy

Elites in third world countries are usually just ridiculous, I say this as an Indian.

Sounds like the Marcos women from the Philippines. Think Imelda and other SE Asian countries and their president's wives.

That was my first thought. How obscene, to spend this amount of money on clothing when there is such need in the world, in her own country. Any time I hear about this kind of exorbitant spending, I am saddened for humanity. While I do believe in conservative values and reaping the benefits of one’s own efforts, there’s a difference in my mind between luxury and wasteful spending. She had the chance to demonstrate to her family’s supporters that they are cognizant of the struggles other people endure by perhaps donating or funding some charitable cause INSTEAD of dumping money for a one-time social event. She/they chose to flaunt extravagance in the face of hard times. This is the epitome of selfishness. This bride-to-be would have looked equally stunning in a 10k dress, which is still a lot of money. jmho.

Preach.

well. let’s not blame the daughter

Exactly what I was thinking when I heard the introduction

@@monalisasssmile as if she doesn’t know what’s going on…..I don’t believe any adult is that naive

@@lauradelaney5457 i’m not at all negating her actions. but you have to consider the role she plays as the daughter. her fault is not recognizing her position and the fact she shouldn’t be spending the money made off of citizens of a fairly poor country

Money talk and bullshit walks….

Amazon has a similar one for $12.66.

Definitely not worth it, I know shes a designer, but not convinced the dresses were worth what they payed for them x

Do you not understand what "couture" means??? So sorry.

It's made by hand sewing crystals.

@@dianepike827 yes, but actually everything is hand done with the extremely expensive raw goods.

As a greek I can agree with this lol

My cousin had 700 hundred people here in the US. That is the biggest wedding in our family.

Excuse you?! You sound incredibly ignorant. Why is it always a problem when it’s a black woman living well?

They're not really "rich." Her father stole the money. It's aid money. Could be World Bank, U.N., or USAID. It could be American taxpayers' money!

She is the daughter of a corrupt man. She has no taste of course cause people like her never do. She honestly just came on this show to show off money that her father stole

I think you'll find the comments on this are about 75% agreeing with your distaste. These are people who worship the Karcrapions.

It is indeed abhorrent to spend that kind of money on a dress, but it is not the responsibility of the rich to take care of everyone who is less fortunate. It just isn’t. It’s a philosophy of liberal Americans that those who prosper should give away all their money to those who do not. That’s not how it works in a free country. Like it or not, there will always be rich people who do not share their wealth. Nor do they have to.

@@bellem.8329 True but those who truly have a heart of gold definitely would, especially if they came from humble beginnings themselves so they know how it feels to be poor and suffering. Those who don’t share and care for the less fortunate are selfish pigs that doesn’t know it hurts until a needle pokes them.

@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj agree, but most of the wealthy people I know do contribute a lot of money to charitable causes even if they spend a lot on weddings and other extravagant things. People see their spending but they usually keep their giving anonymous so it can appear that they don’t care. And of course on that show, they are going to do a segment about the big spenders to get ratings.

@@bellem.8329 That is true too but I kind of doubt that is the case here as the money they are spending is most likely blood or corruption money. If they did help out the less fortunate then why are the people in their country still suffering and living in poverty?

Lots of cash lots of trash. Stealing food from the mouths of babies, literally. Shameful. Corrupt. I hope all the wedding party and guests get really bad food poisoning. I mean really bad.

gaudy dresses

Right! I mean yeah her dresses are beautiful (some) but I don’t know if it’s the constant shoveling her dresses down brides throats or what that make me think these dressed have been done and worn before…

Honestly? Yeah, it's way too ease to steal people's money and get away with it like it's their right to do so, it's infuriating. And Pnina's dresses are usually way overpriced and not even pretty enough to be robbed like that.

Thank you! You are right. I am from Angola and feel ashamed and sad about it.

Facts!

Yess Those dresses couldn't have looked more tacky or cheap So much money to lool like a kid at prom in the 90s

And I question whether they legally earn that wealth.

@@AFAskygoddess legally? Absolutely. Ethically? Unlikely. When a corrupt govt makes laws, you don't think they'd ensure their own activities are protected?

They'll probably never know. Most of them can't even afford food let alone TV, computer, handphone and internet

WE must tell them then. I just put a curse on the entire wedding reception. I hope I'm not too late. They will all get food poisoning, and the bride will shit herself. She'll have a big brown poo stain on that beautiful white gown of hers. Well, one of them.

30 grand on a dress to sign a register in. What is wrong with her?

@@silentbliss7666 And how do you know that?

@@silentbliss7666 they know. this is a very famous daughter of a very famous politician (google). He was famous for not being corrupt till this show aired ... People in Africa do have access to these things... Don't stereotype.

There are starving kids everywhere - that is what capitalism is all aout. But yes, the question is legitimate...

@@vickyac2423 Angola is not a capitalist/free market economy. It has a centralized, government-controlled economic system which explains why a mere "cabinet minister" could be flying a large group of family members overseas multiple times to spend money like there's no tomorrow. They're not the ones working to earn it.

There are starving children here... Look how people squander their money.

Africa is not a country.

And she didn’t go see a dentist to get her teeth fixed

Which episode is that? Is that the one where Randy comforts the daughter after her mom makes fun of her? This episode made me mad. This girl and her family are sick! I bet she divorced not long after wasting all that money on a stupid ugly dress.

My comment said that the bride should expect another civil war for her grotesque display of wealth gained as the result of corruption and God knows what else. They looked cheap and tacky. The orange dress looked about as expensive as a chain store bought one, the bling will only make the mother of the bride look even more trashy. How many mouths could $200, 000 US feed? And that's only for the dresses! How much is the wedding costing🤢😵🤮😭☹👿 altogether? Probably the entire GDP!

@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj What episode is that? Is it on youtube?

Completely agree. It's disgusting how the leadership in African countries live while their people are in abject poverty. Third world troglodytes.

@@am5783 Yes and it is the one with a girl named Samantha. Her mom laughed at her...Randy was very upset...

Nailed it.

In England, thousands cannot afford to heat their homes and queue for food banks, whilst the royals spend millions on pomp and ceremony.

Sad spend money on fkn dresses while people starve

He was actually the vice president at this time. Not just a cabinet minister.

I know Panina only sucks up to rich brides ..

I hate this episode. Shame on TLC for airing it

Word 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

So true

Good title!

@@lauradelaney5457 Yes, I couldn't watch all of it, it was making me sick.

All high end designers have a bunch of junior designers working under them... maybe they designed it together... with ofc Pnina finishing and finalising the design

So many people are taking the credit for someone else's work! I introduce you to multimillionaires and billionaires!!!

I saw her on an interview where she said most of the dresses are hers, but she said she does collab.

she is the designer..the work is done by a dress makers.. then sent to the shop for a final fitting

@@MaryJane-qq9mm She gives credit, she even went into the details of her team and their work in this video😭 theyre in the same room!

Some corrupt cabinet minister

Cost him? Cost the citizens of his country (and Brazil by proxy).

@@Willowy13 Angola

All panini is seeing is dollar signs

@@Willowy13 that's the other family

Notice the daughter is the one who said there was no budget. I would have liked to have heard that from the father's mouth.

Especially considering the dad is a cabinet member of Angola - let others starve while your daughter and her friends buy fancy dresses. So corrupt and insensitive.

@@jeannetteroldan5119 I agree with you. Absolutely disgusting and inhumane!

@@jeannetteroldan5119 well… I’m sorry I just can’t get behind that point. I agree if you have THAT much money you do have some sort of responsibility to give back to the community that helped provide you with a foundation. But I don’t think that just because he wanted his daughter to have a beautiful wedding day (which is a once in a lifetime experience, mind you), that means it’s his fault people are starving. They’re just not related. Also who knows what type of people they are on the side? All we can see is their wedding dresses, so it’s incredibly disrespectful to make comments and assumptions on their character just because they want to make their daughter happy.

@@moosehead1183 woah lol speak for urself

Where do you think he got all his money from?

Her Dad STOLE that moey

@@eh5507 Yes it is corruption money.

You could change an ENTIRE ANGOLAN VILLAGE with that money.

I know this is an old post, but if you think about the exchange rate to USD, it'd even more expensive for them.

Angola being a poor country is not the problem, her wealth being stolen money is the real issue.

​@@lawtraf8008 i believe that's what she was implying with her comment. No way a cabinet member of a poor country can be this rich without corruption

I was trying not to think that way because other cultures spend ridiculous amounts of money on weddings. I don’t know much about Angola, but when I see a government official flashing money like that, it makes me think.

She is Brazilian not african

@@fatimaabbad3474 Uhmmm, at the beginning, it says she’s the daughter of an Angolan cabinet member, but it wouldn’t be any better if she was Brazilian. It’s a terrible waste of taxpayer money.

​@@fatimaabbad3474 0:04 so... Brazil is Africa now? She's Angolan. ​People speak portuguese in more countries than only Portugal and Brazil.

So much poverty and then this.

It's not surprising at all.

Sadly, not surprising at all. Money does not come with education.

This episode actually made me uncomfortable. I love Randy, but his glee at the amount of money they spent was completely tone deaf to the government corruption that this show was clearly ignorant about. It's shameful. Someone should have done a bit of research before they agreed to air this, but I'm sure Pnina and Kleinfeld's don't really care where the money's coming from because it's just business. Let's face it, I'm sure it happens every month there that corrupt people drop thousands for their daughters.

@@kp4911 I understand the issue with money coming from corrupt government but I can't help but point out the hypocrisy . Where is all this energy when the british “royals” spend billions on their weddings? Billions that are rooted in colonialism, Taxation, and exploitation? Or do you really just mean to say that this type of luxury should only be reserved for white women?

@@kp4911 I actually heard the silent "Cha-ching!" when Randy was talking about how much money was spent. It is over the top for so much blinged up lingerie, imo. I am not a Pnina dress fan though.

I agree and why didn't Daddy have Pnina brought to Africa. Why was the added costs for shop commissions even part of the sale.

How surprising when all I have been hearing and lectured for the past several years is how racist this world is how oppressed poc around the world are!

@@katzlevyalon There is in America. African Americans and Africans have two different types social issues. AAs have the problems that everyone is talking about while just Africans really don't have that much of a problem.

Bah9 You could probably figure out yourself that one example of African wealth doesn’t negate the plight of POC in much of the world. It’s like saying that because Bill Gates is rich, so are all white people.

​@@MOMOHEARTS I mean... Classicism is still a huge problem in Africa. This woman just happens to be from the wealthy ruling class. The fact that some black Africans have been lucky enough to profit off of the racism of colonial rule doesn't come CLOSE to negating the centuries of trauma and poverty that their brethren have faced. You can't see one well-off black family and think "maybe apartheid and slavery weren't so bad!" It's ridiculous.

My my dad adored me and would have expected me to have common sense.

Love that for her

Edit: Having read the comments and knowing that the family spent all this money coming off from being in a government, while the country's poor.. yup, that's a cherry on top

Nobody does the ‘hooker bride’ quite like Pnina!

@@crablover6187 same, I don't see the appeal of Pnina's dresses , they look like something a Vegas showgirl would wear.

I totally agree! She seems like a nice person, but her dresses are ugly. It looks like something you’d wear in the bedroom, not on a sacred event as a wedding! I hate the see thru and boning in the corset! But that’s just me.

@@karenjohnson5634 I hate the see-through and boning in the corset with all my body :^) I get that the fashion trends change and it's very good that there are way more choices when it comes to bridal dresses compared to before - to each their own - but for damn sake. I could never wear a dress that looks like lingerie to my own wedding, for so many people to see!

I absolutely did. For my wedding night and for my husband's eyes only.

I agree

Agree. The only trend more tacky that the see-through corset was the option to show "side boob." Honestly, save it for the honeymoon.

Totally agree!!!! I think they are so ugly and cost way too much.

90% of people say ewww! NOW

Me too! I find them ugly but yet so expensive. It seems like the more expensive they are the uglier they get.

I thgink that trend of see through and boning and all you can see through to the cups...... looks so so so cheap

Yeah I have no idea how these tacky dresses get so much love.

Imagine how much Angolians can benefit with $200,000. It is disgusting, why so many dresses?

In the US you could buy a house. In ANGOLA?? I can’t even imagine how many people that kind of money could provide for. This is horrible.

P

@@jworth7203 I know it's just greed and trying to impress people that will be dead one day as If it matters how glamorous your wedding dresses are it's for a few hours then it's over an people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on weddings it's insanity

@@Jesussavedme it is crazy. My daughter had a lovely wedding for less than $10k. Granted, we’re in the Midwest, and it took quite a bit of shopping around.

I was expecting to see the finished dress and we see bits and bobs of stuff

Then changes will be made! Some ppl lose weight overtime and things change but its all factored in in time for the wedding

I could buy a house, a car and help those less fortunate and STILL have money left for my retirement !! This is ostentatious, so over the top and wasteful. Doubt they are together (happily) after 5 yr.

These ppl no doubt live in a palace. $200,000.00 is chickenfeed for them. They'd have many millions of dollars. They wouldn't buy a home for the cost of those dresses.

In developed and poor country you could buy 14 very decent house with that amount of money. Even 28 house if you choose the public housing the government build for those in need.

A house? Not these days sadly. I live in California that is. A house I saw in el Cerrito use to be 200,000 back in 1996 but now it’s over 1 million. I looked it up on Zillow…it’s honestly greedy and sad these days

Same, I had a beautiful dress made on Etsy, supporting a small business owner that cost $150 and my husband and I had a wonderful ceremony. This is insane

I paid $43 and altered myself the dress with my mom help and it was a perfect gown hahaha!.

Yep. My whole wedding dress ensemble was under $500. And I looked like a princess. These dresses are not chic imo

Yes. My sis in law picked out a dress that was over my budget in the afternoon, that evening I grabbed my matron of honor went to David’s Bridal and got a the $99 special. That dress was beautiful and I was very happy!

I got a 120.00 off the rack....fit me perfectly. 60.00 for the headpiece and it was perfect 1978....but I had a friend that got married the following year and spent 800.00 on her dress and 2 headpieces totalling 600.00.

to each their own. I absolutely love her designs from the past few years or so

I find American fashion to be like that - I hope no one does get offended - but these dresses in particular are ridiculously expensive and flashy, in a bad way.

I agree I find her designs tacky but I guess she's very popular for a reason . Maybe just not for me

@@Anto_81 Can you really call it American fashion when she is Italian? Her biggest spending client in the episode was Angolan and I don't think the parents of the other were born American.

I looked at her website and I didn't see one thing that I would consider classy or beautiful. There were a couple that could have been but the photos were at the beach and they were all see-through. Tacky and cheap.

And corrupt

Very well spoken. Just imagine how much food can brought for the poor. And didn't she say over 800 people

I would have donated 10 water bores or given 10 villages solar power/water/lights to celebrate my wedding and been proud about it all my life. This is vacuous vanity and thoughtless cynical, vulgarness. At least it wasn't $200,000 for one wedding dress, which was the ckickbait title. If I were the business owner, I would be embarrassed and uncomfortable about being involved - but I would have charged through the nose and donated 90% of profit to one of my charity passions. Or maybe paid for the water bores in their country from my orofits - but giving them none of the undeserved credit. And a minister if the country... REALLY tacky.

@@mariaedwards6371 be quiet. It’s her money and her day. You’re just jealous

@@spookytrash it's her father's money.....corruption in government is rife in the country. She seems like a nice person though...

@@spookytrash right! like you never know she could be doing charity work too. everyone deserves to have the wedding of their dreams

@@robinsaffold4156 not really. Its a preference. Im not really sold on her dresses either.

Money talks and bullshit walks

The quote by dolly always comes to mind when I see brides in a Pnina “it takes a lot of money to look this cheap”

They're ok- I like others like Mark Zunino better!!!

go off Paula

Paula, you're right. Several Lebanese designers created breathtaking, opulent wedding gowns.

@@AFAskygoddess Pnina is an Israeli Designer

I agree 100%! Would much rather spend that kind of money on Zuhair Murad’s wedding dress! Much prettier then these ones, can’t even compare! 😊

Zuhair Murad and Elie Saab are two Lebanese designer that came up with amazing high quality dresses

Hoe cute🥰

Don't expect good taste from thieves and corrupt scoundrels, which is what this girl's daddy is. I'm horrified by the whole thing.

Exactly!

You must feel cheated too.

I don't blame you this is so wrong on so many levels. They need to take this down.

Doubt she works

Me too

yeah honestly i'm not vibing with the "look how much money i have, i'm spending $30,000 on a dress only my immediate family is going to see for like an hour."

@@dietotaku Agreed!

Many of the African countries are super corrupt, who knows if the money is clean.

I could have purchases a house for the cost of attire for her wedding.

I didn't like the tiara with the mantilla style veil. The veil needed to be brought up on her head a little more.

Me too!!!

This is not generosity. This is government corruption. Her father works for one of the most corrupt government in Africa. That is where the money is coming from. The people are impoverished in Angola.

@@kp4911 trust me I know I'm from Somalia everyone is just taking taking I hate it

It's not Kleinfeld's job to regulate people's morals; they're just a wedding dress store.

It’s sickening to even think about 😣

Yes. I cannot stomach this episode thinking about that. Stopped watching it

stop your bs, you're not as important as you think you are.

This is disgraceful
