Christine Tran's Spanish Wedding

Step into Pristine's world of love and couture as she dances down the streets of a charming Spanish town. This is not just a wedding; it's a runway show of emotions, a tale of love wrapped in the glamour of Galia Lahav. Get ready to be immersed in a story where every detail is a fashion statement, from the meticulously chosen dress to the spontaneous Sedona proposal. Join us as we unravel a wedding day that's the epitome of style and sophistication.

"The moment I laid eyes on the Querida dress, I knew I had to have it."

Christine

How did you meet your husband? How did he propose?

Totally organic! I became friends with a gal in pottery class and her husband was best friends with my husband.

How did he propose: He spontaneously planned a trip to Sedona and organized a challenging hike, starting ridiculously early in the morning. As we reached the top of the cliff, the view of hot air balloons dotting the horizon at sunrise was utterly breathtaking. Then, he proposed. A photographer, already there, captured the moment, and a small crowd that had gathered recorded our engagement.

Keep in mind, he's not usually one for planning, so the fact that he had arranged this trip was a surprise in itself. The realization that he had also arranged for a photographer to secretly capture our special moment at the hike's summit was impossible to predict.

How did you find working with the team at Galia Lahav?

Adored the team. All of my questions were answered and carefully cared for. I knew right then the quality would be as good as the customer service.

"The details and the fit were absolutely perfect."

Christine

How did it feel when you put on your dress the day of the wedding? What was everyone's reaction to the dress?

I was flooded with immense gratitude that such a beautiful dress could exist and that I could be the one to wear her for the most special day. The details and the fit were absolutely perfect. My friends and family could not stop commenting on the details. When I looked into my husband’s eyes, he was clearly blown away and had tears in his eyes — I certainly attribute those tears to the wedding dress!

A detail that made your wedding special/unique?

My father, who passed away two years ago, had a great relationship with my husband. It was heartbreaking that dad couldn't be present on our wedding day. In a touching gesture, my sister-in-law presented me with a pin adorned with my dad's photo, designed to attach to my wedding bouquet. This allowed me to walk down the aisle with him in spirit. My brothers stood in for him physically, yet I felt my dad's presence bless us spiritually.

"...When I saw Querida and knew right away that this dress was the one."
