Real Bride Mia

Occupation: Finance

Dress Designer: GALA by Galia Lahav

Wedding Date: October 14, 2018

Location Purchased From: Fifth Avenue, NYC

Experience: As soon as I saw the new GALA collection by Galia Lahav trunk show coming to NY a year before my wedding, I did not waste time booking my appointment. It was my first (& would be only) appointment to try on wedding dresses. Bridal Reflections provided a sneak peak of the magical collection via the fashion show a week prior, which they live steamed on Instagram — and seeing the dresses in motion solidified my awe of Galia Lahav.

Within 20 minutes of my dress appointment a week later, I said yes to GALA 1009, with full butterflies in my stomach, as if I said yes to a proposal all over again.
