We May Be An Internationally Acclaimed Bridal Fashion House, But Galia Lahav Still Treats You Like Family


All around the world, marriage is celebrated with customs as rich and diverse as the people who partake in them.

In India, for example, female relatives will gather before a wedding for the Mehndi ceremony in which the bride is adorned with intricate henna body art. It is believed that the deeper the color, the deeper the love between husband and wife.

In traditional Chinese weddings, meanwhile, it is customary for the bride and groom to serve ritual tea ceremonies to their families. It is a sign of respect and gratitude for years of love and care.

If there is one thing weddings everywhere seem to have in common, though, it’s that they are celebrated with family.

We, at Galia Lahav, have been honored to play a role in thousands of weddings from Florence, Italy to New York City. We’ve witnessed generations of families get married. And nothing makes us happier than seeing our brides looking radiant and surrounded by loved ones on this most special of occasions.

Our family’s story
Today, Galia Lahav is globally known for lavish, feminine couture wedding dresses. Premium stores such as Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Browns London, and Magnolia White in Asia all carry our designs. And just this year, Fédération Française de la Haute Couture honored us with an invitation to be the first Israeli fashion house ever to present at Paris Couture Week.

But none of it would have been possible were it not for family.


As founder and head designer, Galia Lahav is the matriarch of our family business. She is in the studio every day, running from the first floor to the fourth, making sure everything and everyone is well taken care of.

Galia comes from a family of seamstresses. She learned to sew from her mother. And some thirty years ago, it was with the loving support of her husband that Galia expanded a small lace applique business into a fashion design shop. Then five years ago, her son, Idan, spearheaded the social media strategy that turned Galia Lahav into a world-renowned brand.

The family bonds extend beyond blood relatives, too. Many Galia Lahav employees grew up in the same small town and have known each other since childhood. Even our business partners—from Los Angeles to Hamburg—have come to be like family to us.
