Bride Of The Week: Carly Rosen

Introducing Carly Rosen

Meet our stunning GL Bride Carly Rosen, who chose our VIV gown for her wedding. Join us as we embark on a journey through her wedding day, set against the backdrop of the timeless Ocean House. Carly's wedding is a testament to the enduring love and cherished family traditions that make each union a unique and heartwarming story. As told by Carly:

"It felt like a scene straight out of a fairytale."

How did you meet your husband? How did he propose?

Jake is my high school sweetheart!! He was the stud baseball player at an all-boys school nearby who Facebook messaged me within the first few weeks of 9th grade asking to hang out. Come to find out, we actually lived in the same neighborhood as little kids and our parents and sisters knew each other. Ten years later, Jake proposed to me at our favorite Boston spot during the first snowstorm of the season. He had both of our families waiting at a restaurant nearby to celebrate. It was such a special
night.

How did you find working with the team at Galia Lahav?

Amazing!! I wouldn’t have changed a thing. The quality of Galia Lahav is unmatched and the customer service experience made what would be a stressful process, very simple.

"I knew it was the perfect fit for my wedding visions."

How did it feel when you put on your dress the day of the wedding?

What was everyone's reaction to the dress? Seeing it all come together with my hair, makeup, jewelry, shoes, and veil was a moment I will never forget. I gave myself a couple of minutes with my sister to look in the mirror and take it all in. The day truly goes by so fast, especially in the morning. Next thing you know, you are starting to take portraits and your guests are arriving. I highly suggest adding some personal time to your timeline so you get a chance to soak it all in after you are ready. I did a first look with my bridesmaids and MIL, watching them turn around
is something I will always remember, it started to feel real for me in that moment! They loved the way the satin fabric glowed against the sunlight and the high side slit that spices up such a timeless and elegant dress.!

A detail that made your wedding special/unique?

The first detail that comes to mind is how Jake and I spent our wedding morning together. We decided to do our vows privately over coffee on our suite balcony. We invited our photographer and videographer to come so we could share those moments with our closest friends and family after the wedding, but we found a lot of comfort knowing our vows were just being written for each other to hear which made them very personal. After we exchanged our vows, we went for a walk on the beach to get all of our nerves out. It was so nice spending time together that morning and being able to share our excitement before we went off to get ready.

The second detail that was very special to me is that I was able to wear my mom’s wedding dress and veil from the 90’s on my wedding day. At my bridal shower, my mom surprised me and my sister by turning her wedding dress into two getting-ready robes that we could wear on our wedding morning. It was such a special moment for both of us. (Ps. It helps that she had great style!!)

"Our day was perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing!"
