{Can’t Afford It/Get Over It} One Word, Three Syllables: Pnina
Pnina Tornai gowns are a certain kind of special. They are expertly crafted, sexy yet sophisticated and detailed to the bone. There’s a reason why their price tags are so high. But that doesn’t mean us broke-ass brides can’t get the same look for a fraction of the Pnina price. Let’s see what bride Taralin had to say:
Love this dress but can’t seem to find anything similar – and definitely can’t afford the Pnina. Any ideas? Thanks!

I love your suggestions better than the original! Great compromise
I love it when budget friendly is so gorgeous it looks like the more expensive choice!
I love the gowns. The thought of wearing makes me feel so excited! Very beautiful..
Wow, the inexpensive ones, I think, are much prettier than the Pnina one.
