GL Bride Pilar Cruz in our Noblesse Gown & Finesse Skirt

Our GL Bride of the Week Pilar celebrated her wedding in a breathtaking celebration filled with romance, unforgettable surprises, and meaningful moments. From a love story years in the making to a proposal in the Arctic Circle, every chapter of their journey felt destined to unfold exactly as it did. On the wedding day, heartfelt vows, incredible flamenco performances, and a gown Pilar kept secret until the very last moment created an atmosphere that was both emotional and unforgettable. Thoughtfully personal and filled with love, every detail reflected the unique story she and her husband built together.

“Walking down the aisle, I had kept my dress selection a secret. Seeing everyone’s reaction was so priceless to me.”

Pilar and her Husband's story began with a message on Instagram. Although he reached out to her six years before they ever met, the timing wasn’t right, as Pilar was in a relationship at the time. Patiently waiting for the right moment, he never forgot about her, and six years later, they finally went on that first date.

What started as a message eventually became a love story years in the making. Two years later, on their anniversary, he proposed in the Arctic Circle — creating an unforgettable moment and the perfect beginning to their next chapter together.

For Pilar, finding her dress was unexpectedly simple. Although she tried on countless gowns throughout her bridal journey — so many that she eventually lost count — the moment she stepped into her Galia Lahav gown, she knew. It was love at first sight.

In fact, the skirt she ultimately chose was the very first one she tried on at a Galia Lahav event. Even after exploring countless other options, nothing ever compared to the feeling she had in that gown. What made the experience even more meaningful was the support she received throughout the process. Pilar credits Isabelle Rice and Yael Friedman, along with the entire Galia Lahav London team, for making her feel supported every step of the way and helping bring her bridal vision to life.

“It was love at first sight.”
