In the following interview, Sylvie shares with us the moments she will forever cherish and how she made her dream GL dress a reality.
"We fell in love immediately."
How did you meet your husband?
I met my now-husband during the wedding of Barbara Meier and Klemens Hallmann in Venice. The couple decided upfront that we might be a great match and placed us next to each other during the reception dinner. We fell in love immediately. Since that time we’ve shared and worked on the same dreams and our common future.
We gave this first romance moment a special part during our own wedding and named the reception dinner place like the place we first met, “The Secret Garden“.
How did you find your perfect dress?
My dream was to wear a dress that supports my personality. It should totally reflect me. I searched for inspiration on Instagram and Pinterest to get an idea of what’s possible. So I had a few ideas in mind before I traveled to Tel Aviv to meet the amazing Sharon Sever at Galia Lahav Head Quarters.
On-site it was a really easy way to combine my ideas with the professional input of the designer. We made some sketches to get a good feeling for the dress and the proportions. I took a few options of the sketches with me and decided together with my mum and best friends which would suit me best.

How was your experience with the Galia Lahav brand?
I am not planning to marry again, but for sure, I would do it with Galia Lahav! It was an unbelievable experience working together on such a beautiful couture dress. The selection of fabrics, laces, the professional eye of the team regarding shapes, and usability. It was a one-of-a-kind experience that I can truly recommend to everybody.
What moment from your wedding will you never forget?
When my 14-year-old son handed me over to my now-husband that was the most emotional part. All in all the wedding itself is the moment we will always remember by heart. We had an amazing wedding weekend with our family and our best and closest friends.
