"... just couldn’t take Loretta out of my mind."
How many dresses did you try on?
I tried on about 20 other dresses and just couldn’t take Loretta out of my mind. It’s just simply, it was the perfect dress for my perfect day. I had lots of options as Browns Bride London has so many different designers. But I knew Galia Lahav was the dress for me as it's beautifully made with stunning details and the perfect combination of elegance and glamour.
How did it feel to put on your dress the day of the wedding? What were everyone’s reactions to the dress?
It was the first dress I tried on. I described I wanted a big glamorous sparkly princess dress in fishtail style so Lauren from Browns Bride brought the Loretta dress up from their stock room downstairs (it wasn’t on the shop floor). When me and my friend Dahlia saw the dress we just said “this is it!”
How did you meet your husband?
I met my husband 10 years ago in London and we were friends at first. I always liked him a lot but it wasn’t the right time for both of us. Then after 6 years of being friends we always knew we fancied each other so we decided to give it a try. I had moved back to Mongolia at that point but we both kept in regular contact making sure we were ok and always keeping in touch….
Then one day I realised I have an amazing man on the other side of this world who cares about me so much… We decided to go on holiday together to Marbella to see if we can be together. The moment I saw Barry I knew we were going to be together. We had a beautiful time in Marbella and then I moved back to London as it felt right.
A detail that made your wedding special and unique?
The Hora dance was so much fun although I had to change from my gorgeous dress because of the excess heat from excitement and crazy dancing hehe! I was happily surprised no one stepped on my very long trail of the dress too. The whole night was just magical and special.
"The whole night was just magical and special."
A moment on my wedding day I’ll never forget?
There were a lot of funny moments but this was just hilarious. One of my bridesmaids had a few drinks and thought she was part of the band, so she took one of the instruments with her to the dance floor and danced all over the place – as she was chased by the musician who needed it back!
How did you find working with the Galia Lahav team?
Galia Lahav’s staff are amazing. They came to Browns Bride for a trunk show and were extremely helpful and professional. Now I tell all my friends when you get married don’t look anywhere else other than Galia Lahav. They all agree! x
How many dresses did you end up trying beforehand?
I tried on about 20 other dresses and just couldn’t take Loretta out of my mind.
