Bride Of The Week: Elizabeth Cardillo
Written By Kaileah Christine
May 23, 2022
Our #GLBride of the week is Elizabeth Cardillo, who wore our Queen Gia and New Suzanne on her special day. Surrounded by family and friends, Elizabeth tied the knot with her fiancé Raj at the luxurious Aria hotel with an elegantly themed wedding. In the following interview, Elizabeth shares with us the moments she’ll cherish forever and the experience of finding two dream dresses for her wedding day.
"Cherish the months before the wedding day because the actual day goes by so fast."
How did you meet your husband? Tell us a little bit about your relationship.
Raj and I met on an online dating app. He was visiting Los Angeles from Sydney, and we happened to match. I never tried online dating before and he was my first blind date. I was incredibly nervous. Obviously, it all worked out perfectly – our last first date! He was and still is the perfect gentleman.
How was your experience with the Galia Lahav brand?
Perfection! From start to finish, I was treated so well. My experience working with Galia at my first appointment was one I’ll never forget – she is a true genius (plus so beautiful and kind on top of that)! Kaila, the LA Store Manager and Anthony, my Stylist, also made my entire experience magical. They have since become my friends and even came to our wedding as guests.
"When I walked into the store and saw the Queen Gia ballgown, I was blown away."
How did you find your perfect dress?
I had heard of Galia Lahav and driven by the LA store many times – I knew the beauty of these gowns. When I walked into the store and saw the Queen Gia ballgown, I was blown away – my dreams came true! I knew I wanted a ballgown for the ceremony and a more fitted gown for the reception. Anthony, my stylist, chose New Suzanne as my second look and I was in love immediately.
What moment from your wedding will you never forget?
Seeing Raj waiting for me at the alter! We didn’t do a first look, so this was our first time seeing each other. I’ll never forget seeing him tear up.
"I enjoyed the time I spent coming up with fun creative ideas with Raj."
