GL Bride CaLeigha Homan Stuns in Our AKIRA Gown at Her Tuscan Wedding

Some weddings are remembered for their beautiful setting, while others are remembered for the moments that make them uniquely personal. For GL Bride CaLeigha and James, their Tuscan celebration was filled with both. Set against the rolling hills of Italy, every detail reflected their love story, from handcrafted touches and meaningful traditions to unforgettable moments shared with family and friends. At the center of it all was AKIRA, the gown that made CaLeigha feel exactly as she had always imagined on her wedding day.

"Walking down the aisle toward my husband and hearing his heartfelt vows will always stay with me."

— CaLeigha

CaLeigha and James first met while attending the University of Houston, where they were both Division I athletes. She played soccer, and he played football. What began as a friendship grew into a lasting relationship before James proposed during a romantic trip to Lake Como, Italy. Surrounded by white roses, a live pianist, fireworks, and an unforgettable dinner, it was a proposal straight out of a fairytale.

With Italy already holding such a special place in their story, Tuscany became the perfect setting for their wedding celebration. Thoughtful details, including a custom family crest, handmade linen napkins, and a ceremony officiated by one of their closest friends, made the day feel deeply personal. For CaLeigha, the moment she'll cherish forever was walking down the aisle toward James and hearing the heartfelt vows he had written just for her. The celebration ended on a joyful note with a choreographed first dance that transitioned into Justin Bieber's Baby, as a live saxophonist brought everyone to the dance floor.

Although CaLeigha tried on many gowns, she had always dreamed of wearing Galia Lahav. The moment she stepped into Akira, she knew she had found the one. It felt as though the gown had been made just for her, bringing tears to her eyes from the very first fitting. Elegant yet effortlessly feminine, it was everything she had envisioned for her wedding day. Long after leaving the boutique, she couldn't stop thinking about it, and every fitting leading up to the wedding brought back that same feeling of certainty. She already knows Akira is a gown she'll treasure forever, with hopes of one day passing it down to a future daughter.

On the morning of her wedding, slipping into Akira made CaLeigha feel both regal and romantic. The gown gave her the confidence to feel bold, elegant, soft, and whimsical all at once as she prepared to marry the love of her life. While her family and friends were captivated by the dress, what meant the most was seeing how naturally and confidently she carried herself. She felt completely like herself, and that was the greatest compliment of all.

"It was everything I think every bride deserves to feel when she puts on her wedding dress."

— CaLeigha
