Lauren Trainer's Fairytale Wedding

Our GL Bride of the Week is the stunning Lauren Trainer, who married her longtime friend and fiancé in our GALA 104 gown. Set against the romantic backdrop of Ayrshire, Scotland, their wedding felt like a true fairytale that was filled with timeless details, sweeping views, and the warmth of close friends and family.

In the interview ahead, Lauren shares the story behind her magical day and the moment she knew GALA 104 was the one! As told by Lauren:

"Sharon was lovely and soon as I had tried the dress on he said, "That’s the one."

How did you meet your husband? Tell us a little bit about your relationship.
I met my husband John 11 years ago through a mutual friend in Glasgow. We have been together for 11 years and live together in Sheffield where my husband plays football for premier league team Sheffield United. We have 2 amazing boys Hudson 6, Ari 3 and they both keep us on our toes on a daily basis.

How did he propose?
John proposed in our favourite holiday destination in Dubai he proposed to me with a ring he had first bought me the very first time we had been in Dubai and was kind enough to let me pick and design my own engagement ring the day after with a jewellers in Dubai.

How did you find your perfect dress?
I found my perfect dress at the Galia trunk show in London I attended the trunk show in August last year at browns bride and got to meet Sharon. I had seen the dress on the Instagram page and was so excited when I saw it in the shop. Sharon was lovely and soon as I had tried the dress on he said that’s the one when I looked at my mum and saw she was crying then I knew it was the one. It came with a matching veil which was ideal also as I didn’t have the stress of finding one that went with the dress. It was perfect very simple and light and had the embroidered flowers going round the bottom to compliment the long train of the dress.

"When I looked at my mum and saw she was crying then I knew it was the one."

How was your experience with the Galia Lahav brand?
My experience with Galia has been fantastic. Sharon was so lovely and took my measurements himself in the shop the day I ordered my dress when it arrived in the shop I fell in love with it all over again and couldn’t wait to wear it. Galia dresses are definitely my favourite wedding dresses the detail is second to none and I was so glad I had picked the Galia design after visiting a few shops and not fallen in love with any the pieces. I was so happy with my dress I wish I could wear it again I suppose I need to have a daughter now to pass it down to.

What moment from your wedding will you never forget?
The fireworks. I was born in November 5th, Fawkes night in the Uk is big. It's my favourite night of the year so my husband made sure we had a big display at the end of the evening.
