Victoria Jones' New Orleans Wedding in Our Aelin Gown

Our #GLBride of the week is Victoria Jones, who wed her fiancé David in our Aelin gown from the Queen of Hearts collection. The couple held an extravagant, yet elegantly themed wedding in their hometown of New Orleans. In the following interview, Victoria shares with us the details of her NOLA wedding and the moment she said “This is it!” to our Aelin gown.

"I saw my perfect dress on the Galia Lahav Instagram page."

How did you meet your husband? Tell us a little bit about your relationship.

David and I met when we started pharmacy school together. We were in the same class and saw each other everyday but we officially became friends at a Halloween party! I was dressed as a witch and he took someone’s witch hat and put it on and we danced together. After that night we started talking more and studying together and everything fell into place.

How did you find your perfect dress?

I saw my perfect dress on the Galia Lahav Instagram page. When I went to check for bridal shops that sold the brand I was disappointed to see that there were none in New Orleans. I planned to go to Houston to visit a bridal shop there but then I ended up finding out there would be a trunk show in Baton Rouge which was just an hour away so I was ecstatic! When I went in to the shop I was just hoping that the one I wanted would be included and I looked through the racks and when I spotted it I said, “This is it!”

How was your experience with the Galia Lahav brand?

My experience was amazing! The details in this dress are unmatched. I was so elated when I saw the tag inside my dress that had my name on it too! That’s such a cute detail!

What moment from your wedding will you never forget?
I will never forget the moment when I was about to walk into the church. I was calm the entire day but it really hit me at that moment when I grabbed my father’s arm and started walking in. I remember walking in the church and seeing the most handsome man standing there waiting for me. Hearing the singer, seeing all my loved ones, and seeing the man I loved more than life itself. I’ll never forget those butterflies, ever!
