Karolina Uzdowska Solarz's Wedding

Our #GLBride of the week is the beautiful Karolina Uzdowska Solarz, who married her love in our Luca gown. Surrounded by family and friends, the couple held their 3-day long wedding celebration at the breath-taking Cortijo Rosa Blanca in Andalucía, Spain. In the following interview, Karolina shares with us how she created a magical wedding on the coast of Spain and her experience meeting Galia Lahav herself while finding her dream dress. As told by Karolina:

"...I knew I had found my dream dress."

How did you meet your husband? Tell us a little bit about your relationship.
Just like a good romantic comedy: she was 26, he was her boss. True story. Both fell in love and here we are. Now she is the boss of everything – but mostly holidays and wedding planning. Over the last 6 wonderful years, we have become lovers, friends and partners in crime sharing our passions for travel to all corners of the world and crazy hobbies: him – surfing, me – diving (but mostly beach and suntanning). It’s been such an adventure and there is so much yet to come!

How was your experience with the Galia Lahav brand?

I loved Israeli wedding designs from the very beginning and I made an appointment at Browns Bride in London during Galia Lahav’s Trunk Show. To my surprise, Galia herself personally measured and made custom adjustments to my Luca gown – giving me a lower back, best quality lace, and embellishments I was so desperately searching for. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and truly made my dress experience one I’ll never forget.

"I tried on the Luca gown and I couldn’t take it off!"

How did you find your perfect dress?

I knew I could never be one of those girls who just tried on 1-2 dresses and then just knew! I’m a perfectionist and all details matter! Every wedding atelier I have been to (Paris, San Francisco, Dublin, Warsaw, London) I found dresses that were pretty and looked good on me but I never had that moment where I felt that it was the one for me.

Finally, at the Galia Lahav Trunk Show at Browns Bride in London, where I had the honour to meet Galia in person, I tried on the Luca gown and I couldn’t take it off! The way it fit and flowed, paired with Galia’s amazing personalizations – I knew I had found my dream dress. I waited patiently for 8 months for my custom made Luca from Israel and the dress fit like a glove!

What moment from your wedding will you never forget?

Every moment! Oh my goodness, my heart has never ever felt so full. I was beyond thankful I got to marry the man of my dreams and have all of my nearest and dearest friends and family, who traveled from Poland, Ireland, London, Brussels, Amsterdam, New York, California, Sydney and Bali to Andalucia, to celebrate our love. The moment I walked down the aisle and saw everyone I felt the most emotional. We will never forget the energy, support, and love we felt from everyone. It was for sure a FAIRYTALE on steroids! Now I know what they mean when they say it will be the BEST day of your life!

"Seeing everything come to life...was remarkable."
