Jenna Johnson found the perfect outfit on 'Say Yes to the Dress' for her wedding to Val Chmerkovskiy from 'Dancing with the Stars'

Jenna Johnson of 'Dancing with the Stars' appears on the premiere episode of 'Say Yes to the Dress' season 17, looking for the perfect reception dress.

'Dancing With The Stars' dancers Jenna Johnson and Val Chmerkovskiy tied the knot earlier this year in April and Jenna took to Instagram to post her gorgeous wedding dress pictures. The beautiful bride later changed into another stunning dress for her reception party. The story behind how Jenna came across that dress is an interesting one.



 


The trailer for Saturday's premiere episode of 'Say Yes to the Dress', shows the star visiting Kleinfeld, the legendary bridal salon looking for a perfect reception dress. In the trailer, we see Jenna trying on a couple of dresses and showing it to her family — her mother Tammy, friend Stacy, mother-in-law Larissa and sister-in-law Peta Murgatroyd.

The ladies critique her choice and suggest she keep looking. While we don't get a sneak peek into what she selects, fans already know what she wore thanks to her Instagram post. In an earlier interview, Jenna had mentioned that she was looking for something "timeless and classic".  She said, "Before even looking for my dress, I knew I wanted something timeless and classic. I wanted something that I felt confident and beautiful in. I didn’t want to look like a princess —  I wanted to look like a queen!"

Luckily since Jenna was very clear about what she wanted, it didn’t take her too long to zero in on her perfect dress. "Ironically enough, the first dress I tried on was the one. I had picked it out while looking around and I just knew it was unique and something I would love to wear," she said.

Johnson wore the beautiful outfit for her April wedding to Chmerkovskiy. The gorgeous couple exchanged rings in a romantic ceremony overlooking the ocean at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palo Verdes, California. The ceremony followed a fun reception party, where the couple showed off their amazing dance moves.
'Say Yes to the Dress' premieres on July 20 at 9 pm ET on TLC.
