Her wedding and reception was a masterpiece of contrasting touches featuring white roses, hydrangeas, black magic roses, amaranthus, and vibrant dahlias, leaving guests in awe. In the following interview, she shares her extraordinary day and the story of finding her dream dress. As told by Jackie:

"I felt comfortable and confident and like the day was truly going to start!"

How did you meet your husband? How did he propose? I met my husband at a mutual friend’s birthday party. He ended up proposing 3 years later on Valentine’s Day with both of our families present. It was a surprise to everyone!

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

They were amazing, responsive, patient, accommodating, and kind! I always knew I wanted a dress with long sleeves and an open back. I put it on and immediately said – sorry for the language here – “holy sh*t.” It was sexy without being vulgar and classy without being boring. It fit me like a glove and I felt like myself! Funny enough, even before I was engaged or dating, my mom showed me this [<a href="https://www.galialahav.com/bridal/couture/alegria/estelle">Estelle</a>] dress and said, “This is going to be your wedding dress.” She always had a feeling!

How did it feel when you put on your dress the day of the wedding? What was everyone's reaction to the dress? As soon as I put on the dress, I felt so much at ease. I felt comfortable and confident and like the day was truly going to start! I did a first look with my friends and all you could hear were screams of excitement and gasps!

A detail that made your wedding special/unique? We wanted different vibes for different parts of our wedding. For our chuppah, we kept it white, angelic, and delicate with white roses, white hydrangeas, and baby’s breath with candles spread throughout. However, as people walked into the reception room, they were met with black magic roses, red amaranthus, blueberry roses, and purple dahlias. Guests were also met with a 3D larger than life, lush, and opulent sweetheart table that was overlooking the room. Everyone said they walked into the room and thought they accidentally walked into a different party!
