Our #GLBride of the week is the beautiful Alexandra Bunz, who wore our Fabiana gown on her special day. Alexandra and her fiancé held a stunning outdoor wedding to exchange their loving vows and celebrate their nuptials. In the following interview, Alexandra shares her GL experience and the moments she'll cherish forever.
"I saw Fabiana on Instagram...and instantly fell in love with it."
How did you meet your husband?
I met my husband through friends a year before we started dating. As that year passed, he continuously kept asking me out and I always seemed to wiggle my way out of answering him. He then kind of trapped me one day and asked just for one date. I said yes and the rest is history. To this day I am not sure why it took me so long to go on a date, but I guess timing is everything!
How did you find working with the team at Galia Lahav?
The Galia Lahav team at Bridal Reflections Fifth Ave was extraordinary. Everyone was so caring and genuinely wanted to help me find my dream dress. From first seeing my dress on the rack to walking out the door after alterations, everyone was amazing to work with. I even decided after ordering my dress that I wanted to extend my train and within an hour everything was confirmed. I am so grateful to have had such a wonderful team be a part of my wedding experience.
"The moment I put it back on, I fell in love with it all over again."
How did you know your dress was 'the one'?
I saw Fabiana on Instagram a few months before I was engaged and instantly fell in love with it. When I got engaged, I knew I had to try it on – if i didn’t, I would never stop thinking about it! The only store that had the sample in stock was Bridal Reflections Fifth Ave, so my mother, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids flew from Canada to NYC to see the dress. From the second I put it on I knew it was the one. I tried on soo many beautiful Galia Lahav dresses, but from the moment I first laid eyes on Fabiana I knew it was my dress.
What is one memory from your wedding day you will never forget?
One memory that definitely makes me laugh (which is shocking because I was a very uptight and controlling bride), was when our 2nd bus did not show up to take us home. Luckily, it was the rowdy group of friends. I remember all of us sitting on the grass waiting for the bus and thinking “they’re definitely not coming”. Then after a half-hour of waiting the lawn sprinklers turned on so we all jumped up and started running. Luckily, I was out of my dress at this point! It’s definitely a lesson to brides – even though you plan everything perfectly things still go wrong and all you can do is laugh.
"My favorite thing about the Fabiana gown is the 3D details."
