Beautiful Bridal Separates For Your Wedding Day

Transform your wedding dress in one fell swoop with a detachable bridal accessory. If you want to remix your look between ceremony and reception but don’t want to invest in two outfits (or miss the opportunity to show off your chosen wedding dress for the entirety of your event), wearing bridal separates is a cunning alternative.
Simply remove your sleeves, coat or overskirt to reveal the signature craftsmanship of your Galia Lahav gown underneath. This is simple yet effective day to night dressing for your wedding day. Read on to discover eight beautiful examples of bridal separates from our Fancy White and GALA IX collections.
Nothing screams contemporary elegance than exquisite women’s tailoring. The Anna gown’s matching cape emulates that chic modern aesthetic. Its bold pleated shoulders and sweeping length pair beautifully with the strapless, structural, silk satin column dress. Meanwhile, the Anna’s hip-high slit and gathered fabric at the waist continue to celebrate feminine curves.
Off-the-shoulder necklines are becoming ever more popular – just look at Beyoncé (who wore our Thelma gown for her vow renewal with Jay Z) and Hailey Bieber, who both opted to wear the style at their recent wedding ceremonies. And no wonder; we love the sensual yet demure cut on any bride! The only drawback is it can be tricky dancing in this style – lifting your arms can be dangerous for the connecting seam. Luckily, the G-401 cleverly avoids this risk altogether because its pretty puff sleeves are completely detachable.
The Simone comes with a sheer, flowing, detachable accessory that attaches to its sweetheart neckline and trails behind its wearer. This acts as an up-to-date alternative to the weightless fabric and long train of a traditional veil. Remove the soft tulle attachment when you’re ready for a subtle change and the Simone’s pearl and shimmering sequin embellishments will truly come to the fore.
The Judy is one of our most innovative bridal separates yet. The difference between the gown with its overcoat and without is drastic. But you’d never be able to tell the bride is wearing two garments, so perfectly are they made to be worn together. The Judy is a slinky strapless trumpet dress adorned with silver embroidery. When its lightweight coat is added, it becomes a waist-belted, cap-sleeved, open-back dress with a tiered Hi-Lo hem. A stroke of couture genius! See the Judy without its bridal separate below.
