Bride Of The Week: Alis Bogumian
Written By Kaileah Christine
December 9, 2019
Our #GLBride of the week is Alis Bogumian, who married the love of her life Paul in our New Suzanne gown. The couple held a glowing floral wedding at the opulent Taglyan Arts and Cultural Complex in Los Angeles. In the following interview, Alis shares with us the wonderful details surrounding her gorgeous wedding and the moment she realized our New Suzanne was ‘The One’.
"Finding the perfect GL dress, for me, was not hard."
How did you meet your husband? Tell us a little bit about your relationship.
Paul and I … the story of how we met is very LA. In 2013, I spent my summer studying for my physics class at a Starbucks and there was this green-eyed boy who kept walking by every day. At some point, our friends became friends but still, he was the quiet one. There came a point when Paul started to throw in a couple of words into the group conversations. Within a couple of months, he asked me out on a date and we had our first lunch at In-N-Out (there, we got even more LA). The rest is history.
So, if you or anyone else is interested in finding love, try your local Starbucks.
How did you find your perfect dress?
Finding the perfect GL dress, for me, was not hard. With the help of my amazing GL stylist Kara, I literally tried on four dresses. She provided the best experience for me. And then, I knew it was the one when I didn’t want to take the New Suzanne off.

How was your experience with the Galia Lahav brand?
My experience with Galia Lahav was perfect. The only difficulty I had with GL as a brand is that every dress is more breathtaking than the next… I was and am still in love with my gown but from time to time I find myself wishing I could wear every other dress and have a few more receptions.
What moment from your wedding will you never forget?
There are two moments from my wedding that I will never forget. Paul is the sweetest, sincerest and most heartfelt man I’ve ever met. But even so, I hadn’t seen him cry. And that was his reaction during our first look moment.
And my dad. My mom always claims that he is an emotional man but… again, I’d never seen him cry. When the videographers asked him to give a little memorable speech to me for the video, he said two words and started crying. I’ll never forget that moment.
