Galia Lahav

Where do I begin?... I was on day three from wedding dress shopping and my mother called GL to see if we could just come in and look around. We were told that unfortunately all of the stylist were busy with appointments, but we were still welcome to come in and look. When we (myself, mother, aunt and cousin) arrived at GL we were instantly greeted with the biggest smile from Anthony! We explained that we called in and confirmed that we could come in to look around (GL is appointments only) and so he gave us a quick tour of where to look for certain styles, prices, etc. Before I went off on my own, Anthony told me that he had a 30 minute break before his next appointment started and that he would be happy to help me find my dress. With NO APPOINTMENT, Anthony set us up on the front fitting area, got everyone champagne and started his styling beautification. I told him I'd been searching for dresses for two days and no one had what I wanted. I told him EXACTLY what I was hoping for in my wedding dress and he said, "I have your dress," and walked away. I was skeptical at first, because no other bridal parlor had exactly what I envisioned. But Anthony and I instantly had a connection, and I just truly trusted him. He came back with three dresses. One that he said was the one and two other dresses for "just in case" purposes. However, he knew the dress that he pulled for me was going to be it. I tried on the dress... and I was speechless... I just started crying. We all did. It was exactly the dress I had imagined in my head that I thought didn't exist. I tried on that one dress and that was it... I didn't try on the other ones because Anthony asked me,"why?", when we both knew I found it. I tried on countless dresses during the two days prior, and I never, not once, felt the way I felt when I put on the dress Anthony picked for me. During my bridal fittings he always came over and gave me a huge hug. He always supported me throughout the pandemic. He truly made my dream dress a reality. And he didn't do it because it's his job, Anthony helped me out of the kindness of his heart. He helped me because he truly loves helping brides find their perfect dress. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience at GL. But I do want to express to the GL team my deepest gratitude for such an uplifting experience and, specifically to Anthony, Thank you. For everything. You don't know what you did for me, and I will never forget it.

My experience was a little different since I went during one of their sample sells which means I only had 45mins to try on dresses and had to decide/pay that day if I found a dress since there is no guarantee it will still be there by the end of the sale. The team was very welcoming and professional. My bridal consultant was so friendly and fun to work with during my appointment.; she made me feel comfortable and excited. All of the dresses were so beautiful and wonderful--the quality is so dreamy! I found my dress and I felt no pressure from the bridal consultant or team to make a decision. Even though I was taking my time they did not rush me out the door or make me feel awkward. The store team overall were great to work with and made me feel special. I enjoyed my experience at the store and cannot wait to go back for my alterations.

Galia Lahav dresses are beyond a dream! Even more incredible in real life. There is a very honest & understandable reason to her price point. She understands a woman's body, placement, details, shape and contour and elegance. Others throw you into a dress and will have to work miracles to make it work....But Galia's designs fit like a glove, and are of the highest quality of dresses & materials.

Olivia, who runs the Los Angeles store was absolutely the BEST bridal consultant. She understood my vision, and even took it to another dimension of wonder. Her knowledge of dress design was impressive, and the best part is....there isn't anything they weren't able to do. The entire experience was perfection. That being said, because of my tight timeline, I wasn't able to have time to have a gown made. But the experience was so magical, that I WILL be back to have a gown made for another occasion. Thank you Olivia and Galia for your beautiful wearable art.
