A Peek into Angie's Romantic Wedding

She Wore The Diamond Gown

Meet Angie, our beautiful GL Bride who graced her wedding day in our Diamond gown! In the following interview, Angie shares her wisdom to future GL brides, emphasizing the importance of enjoying the journey and making quick, realistic decisions. She also shares her most unforgettable moments and how she found the gown of her dream for wedding day. As told by Angie:

I immediately knew because of the layers, the crystal sleeve accents, and the drop waist style.

How did you meet your husband? How did he propose? My husband and I have had a romantic connection since we were about 15 years old. He proposed at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, and surprised me with both my side of the family and his. We celebrated the holidays and rang in the new year as a united household.

How did you find working with the team at Galia Lahav, and how did you know your dress was 'the one'?

Galia was the first bridal shop I visited and “Diamond” was the second wedding dress I had ever tried on. I immediately knew because of the layers, the crystal sleeve accents, and the drop waist style. This was several months prior to me knowing I was pregnant, however, so the drop waist actually ended up being something I wanted to have pulled up as the baby bump started to come in. Everyone at Galia was not only extremely attentive but also professional, calming, and true experts in the field. They timed out my fittings and alterations to ensure the absolute best fit for my body at the time of the wedding. I am eternally grateful to Sandy and Carol at the Miami Design District location for handling with care.

Everything from the corset to the inner “snatch-band” (as we called it) helped give the top of the dress shape, while the bottom layers of Tull added movement, texture, and the princess effect I had always dreamed of.

How did it feel when you put on your dress the day of the wedding?

What was everyone's reaction to the dress? The dress fit like a glove. Everything from the corset to the inner “snatch-band” (as we called it) helped give the top of the dress shape, while the bottom layers of Tull added movement, texture, and the princess effect I had always dreamed of. Several of my friends mentioned that even the men in attendance commented on my wedding dress, which is not common or something the guys typically speak to, but it was a combination of the style and the color (not your typical stark white) that I think made it stand out from anything anyone had ever seen.

A detail that made your wedding special/unique?

The most anticipated and special moment of the wedding was the gender reveal of our baby. As I mentioned, I am 5 1/2 months pregnant and we were able to make everyone part of this momentous occasion with the reveal of our baby girl during the pouring of a pink champagne tower. Neither I nor my husband knew the gender prior, so it was an authentic reveal amidst ALL of our family and friends.

Coming from someone who then traveled to NYC and visited the best of the best bridal houses. NONE can compare to Galia Lahav.
