"..create a space to celebrate LOVE."
How did you meet your husband? Tell us a little bit about your relationship.
I was living in Switzerland at the time, and one of my closest friends, living in Germany, invited me to her boyfriend’s birthday party weekend in Ibiza. My husband, Mahmud (aka Mo), was one of the guests there, and that’s where we met! We hit it off right away. It felt like discovering someone your soul already knew.
Five years later, now married, our relationship is beautifully layered and ever-evolving. We have a skincare & wellness brand (Nourished3) so we work together every day, we love to travel and explore new places, we recently moved into a new apartment so creating a home, and hopefully starting a family soon! We have a lot going on, and our relationship is far from “perfect”, we’ve had our fair share of ups and downs, but it is rooted in love, compassion, and communication – and that’s what keeps us moving forward together as a team.
How did you find your perfect dress?
The process of finding my wedding dress was luckily super easy and enjoyable! I knew I wanted something feminine, romantic and modern, that was still relatively comfortable to wear. Galia Lahav has SO many gorgeous styles, so to not overwhelm myself in the boutique I first browsed the collection online to find my absolute favorites. I narrowed it down to about 10 styles, and those are the ones I tried on in the boutique. As mentioned, the first one I tried, the Fabiana dress, felt like the ONE from the moment I stepped out in front of the mirror. It was PERFECTION! Exquisitely designed, with the most beautiful delicate embroidery. The fit was elegant, classic with a touch of sexy, and very comfortable!

How was your experience with the Galia Lahav brand?
Incredible from start to finish! We started planning our wedding just before the pandemic hit, which meant lots of last-minute cancellations, changes, and rescheduling. With such uncertain and unfortunate times, simultaneously having to postpone our wedding one year, it was so nice having the Galia Lahav team be so supportive and committed to making our ultimate wedding experience come true. I so appreciate their flexibility and incredible client support.
What moment from your wedding will you never forget?
Walking down the aisle with my dad, in front of all our friends and family, feeling like an absolute princess in my GL gown, seeing my future husband in front of the gorgeous floral arch, with the Mediterranean sea in the background. This is in my heart forever. Dancing the night away with our friends and family, gathered from all corners of the world, is definitely up there too!
