Celina Jade's Romantic Wedding Day

Our #GLBride of the week is the gorgeous and talented Celina Jade, who wed her fiancé Han Geng in our Aelin gown. The couple held their romantic mystical wedding in beautiful Queenstown, New Zealand on the secret set of The Hobbit movie. In the following interview, Celina gives us a behind-the-scenes look of her wedding day, love story, and dream dress.

"A wedding is an empty canvas - don’t feel pressured to please anybody."

How did you meet your husband? Tell us a little bit about your relationship.

We officially met at an awards ceremony in Mongolia.

How did you find your perfect dress?

I have never been a girl who’s fantasized about getting married or her wedding. I remember browsing through Instagram and seeing a sexy white lace wedding gown and thinking WOW, that dress is gorgeous. I followed the designer who I knew nothing about and she was the first-ever wedding designer I ever followed – her name is Galia Lahav. When my bridesmaids asked me who I would like to wear, I said, to be honest, there’s a lady called Galia, she would be my dream designer. And dreams do come true!

"...dreams do come true!"

How was your experience with the Galia Lahav brand?

Galia and her team are absolutely amazing! They spent hours with me in Shanghai just before her Shanghai fashion show opening, to create the dress of my dreams. As an actress, I’ve worn many gowns and walked down many red-carpets, so I really wanted my wedding ceremony dress to be of a style that I’d never wear for work. I wanted a long long tail and since we only wear a wedding gown once in our lives, I wanted to wear it throughout the night but it’d be very inconvenient to be dragging a tail around, especially in the wild with the grass, rocks, and twigs on the ground.

Han is a great dancer so as you can imagine the first dance is very important to him. I had to think of a way to keep the dress on but make it short somehow for the dance. Galia is such a genius, she told me she used to design dresses for ”Dancing with the Stars” in Israel, so she made a long dress for me for the ceremony and then made the exact same dress with a shorter tail for me to change into after the ceremony. Guests didn’t even notice! This way, I could walk around and greet people and take photos easily.

What they didn’t know was the surprise Galia had in store, the second dress is actually a 2 piece dress, in the middle of our dance, I ripped off the tail which was attached by velcro and danced with Han in a beautiful short see-through dress with the corset bodysuit underneath it. So Galia actually made 3 dresses for me! She really is incredible! So we had a grand ceremony, a romantic entrance to our reception and a sexy dance and afterparty. I would highly recommend her because she’s really sincere in doing whatever it takes to make you feel beautiful and safe in her dresses. I am so glad she was part of our wedding, I have a soft spot in my heart for her and her team.

What moment from your wedding will you never forget?

The look of slight nervousness, deep love, and happiness on my husband’s face as I walked down the aisle and into his future.
