Galia Lahav’s Bride of the Day is Ariana Janetakis, who dreamt of a Grecian Cinderella story — and made it come true.

It is always inspiring to see our brides fulfill their dreams. Ariana had always envisioned herself in a blue Cinderella gown — and when she discovered our iconic design, her fairytale came to life.

We are beyond honored to be part of such a magical moment for such a wonderfully spirited bride. The Greek setting and the extravagant Cinderella dress completed the picture of this amazing celebration. Congratulations!

“My experience with the Galia Lahav staff and Bridal Reflections couldn’t have been better. Everyone was so warm and welcoming from the moment I tried on the dress until the day I picked it up. Thank you for helping bring my fairytale wedding to life.”

I met my husband Nate through a friend. She was a hostess at a restaurant and he was the chef. We both expressed our interest to her, and soon after he asked me out. Our first date was one of the best I’ve ever been on — he took me to a Lee Fields concert, and the night was filled with amazing soul music, drinks, dancing, and of course, a kiss. He was the one.

I’ve always wanted a blue dress — I’m obsessed with the color. I honestly thought I would have to get one custom made. My sister spotted Galia Lahav’s Cinderella dress on Pinterest, and I knew I had to try it on. Bridal Reflections in Manhattan was having a Galia Lahav trunk show, and Sharon Sever was actually there. The Cinderella dress was the very first one I tried on. I knew immediately it was the one, and I placed my order that day.

“Well, I have two. The ceremony was so special — the weather was just right, and I was accompanied by my parents and an incredible Greek band. In a traditional Greek wedding, your soon-to-be husband is waiting for you with your bouquet. It was a priceless moment.

My second favorite memory was when we all jumped in the pool (including our parents!) and partied until 5 a.m. My sister sang Sea of Love with the band, who actually learned the song on the day of the wedding. It was pure magic.” - Ariana
