Here is what Diann Valentine had to say about Amal:
"One of the biggest learning curves for me while reveling in the
taping of Wedding Day was the sudden appearance of lots of opinions and
an approval process regarding my wardrobe. I had never looked at my
style as ‘TV friendly’ or ‘non TV friendly’ – only Diann Valentine but I
quickly learned that some things just did not work for the eye of the
camera. Our Executive Producer Janelle Fiorito showed enormous patience
with me as she taught me the do’s and dont’s of a TV wardrobe.
However, for every dream wedding night, I knew I wanted a glamorous,
couture look that matched the scope of the dreams we were giving. My
body type makes it difficult for me to buy off the rack so my dear
friend and respected colleague, Amal of Beverly Hills
stepped in and saved the day.
Amal is a true couture designerthat
offers brides a custom designedwedding gown that is second to none. In
addition, she has a fun and flirty bridesmaids collection that features
beautiful silks, taffetas and jersey silks in vibrant colors to
complement any skin tone. In addition, Amal extends her talents to
mothers of the bride by offering them the selection of their own couture
masterpiece for their daughter’s dream day. Amal’s use of the finest
European fabrics and detailed fabrication gives women a sophisticated
choice for all special occasions from their ‘I Do’ day and every day in
between until the day their baby girl walks that same aisle in wedded
bliss!
Week after week, Amal and I collaborated on fabulous wedding
night looks that accentuated my figure and disregarded the notion that
the wedding designer and host’s look must be predictable, conservative
and lifeless. Together, we created a first season wardrobe that
received rave reviews from everyone from our brides and their families
to the camera and lighting crews. Please enjoy a few of the looks that
Amal blessed me with while I experienced one of my life long dreams:
hosting a wedding show that is positive, uplifting and inspirational!"
