Kelly Bensimon said she found a few dresses she likes.

"Trying on a wedding dress is totally different than trying on a regular dress. When you come to Kleinfeld Bridal, there is an army of amazing women and men who are so helpful in making sure you feel and look your best. They know exactly what they're doing. It's unbelievable. It's been a really great experience. The dresses are so pretty, and there's so many different styles," the star, 56, exclusively told OK! on Thursday, May 30, while trying on dresses at Kleinfeld Bridal in New York City. "I always thought when you get married, you have to be careful about what you eat, but here they want you to feel beautiful coming in. It's really, really special."

The Real Housewives of New York alum, who was previously married to Gilles Bensimon and shares daughters Sea Louise, 26, and Thadeus Ann, 24, with him, admitted she tried on a few frocks beforehand, but due to work and travel commitments, time slipped away from her. "I came to Kleinfeld Bridal and called them and said, 'Hi, I'm Kelly Bensimon. Do you think I can come in?' I literally walked in and there was a sea of dresses. I didn't anything, and they just had me trying on dresses. I need to be able to move for dancing, I need to be able to breathe. I don't necessarily want to lose 10 pounds, so the dress has to make my waist look as small as it can be. They do all these tricks that are really unbelievable!" she said.

I try to keep expectations lower because this is my second marriage, and I want to be fully present for everything and enjoy the process."
