Our #GLBride of the week is the beautiful Alexa Chase Crain, who said ‘I do’ to her fiancé Sam in our Mia gown. Surrounded by a lavish garden and Spanish style architecture, the couple held their wedding in Santa Barbara at The Four Seasons Biltmore. In the following interview, Alexa shares with us her beautiful love-story with Sam and how she found her dream dress with us.
"Seeing my vision come to life...was a lot of fun."
How did you meet your husband? Tell us a little bit about your relationship.
We met on an app called Hinge. I had just moved to Dallas and not knowing anyone was wanting to meet girlfriends to go out, have fun with, and potentially meet a guy. One night bored in my apartment I typed in friendship app in the App Store and Hinge popped up. I downloaded it and quickly realized it wasn’t to make girlfriends but decided to give it a try and shortly after received a message from Sam. What set Sam apart aside from thinking he was very handsome was his directness in asking me on a date. Our first date was at Taco’s and Tequilla and from there, our relationship blossomed steadily and he became my best friend.
How did you find your perfect dress?
I went to several bridal studios around Dallas and tried on a ton of dresses! I had found a dress I liked but wanted to wait until my mom was in town before making any decisions. We made an appointment at Stanley Korshak which I hadn’t been to so she could have the full Dallas bridal experience and my dress was the first one I tried on. Before Stanley Korshak, I hadn’t tried on anything by Galia but once I put it on I knew it was my dress. The fit of a Galia gown is incomparable to any other designer I had tried and aside from how beautiful it was, the way it complemented my body was the reason I chose the dress.
"Don't rush and to give yourself time to enjoy the process."
How was your experience with the Galia Lahav brand?
My experience was amazing from start to finish! Stanley Korshak took such great care of me and the alterations were very minimal because it was made to my measurements.
What moment from your wedding will you never forget?
Seeing Sam for the first time before the ceremony and enjoying time with just the two of us. I had been opposed to a first look in the past but I am so happy we did it because it gave me time to enjoy the moment with him before the party started.
