Our #GLBride of the week is the lovely, Lauren Damelio, who wore our Querida, Arden, and G-105 on her wedding day. Lauren and her fiancé Sal held their ceremony and reception among the rolling hills of Sonoma County at the St. Francis winery. In the following interview, Lauren shares with us the details of her rustic glam wedding and how she found not one, but three GL gowns for her special day.
"My entire experience with Galia Lahav was incredible. "
How did you meet your husband? Tell us a little bit about your relationship.
Sal and I met down the Jersey shore, he was walking out of a restaurant and I was walking in. I actually stopped him and asked, “Are you leaving?” He said, “ I was but not anymore!” We exchanged information and went our separate ways. Two days later while on my way to the beach I passed a billboard with a very handsome man on it (Sal’s a real estate agent). I turned to my friend Dana and said, “OMG it’s the guy from the other night!” – Then I decided to answer his 3 unopened messages he sent me. I truly felt like fate how the universe brought us together. We went on our first date later that week and have been together ever since.
He grew up down the shore area of New Jersey and I grew you in North Jersey about 2 hours away. We have been inseparable ever since. We both have very busy work lives and we balance each other extremely well. He is the best man in the world, sweet, loving, patient, hard-working and very intelligent. I am so blessed to have married my best friend and soul mate!
How did you find your perfect dress?
I work with over 200 brides a year and see many different designers and styles. Every single time my brides would have a Galia Lahav dress I would fall in love! They are so elegant and detailed. I just knew I had to go to Bridal Reflections on 5th avenue in New York City to try them on! I chose 3 beautiful Galia Lahav dresses; 1 for my rehearsal dinner, one for my ceremony and one for my reception!
"I couldn’t be happier!"
How was your experience with the Galia Lahav brand?
My entire experience with Galia Lahav was incredible. They are beautifully made and remarkable quality. I couldn’t be happier! The Staff at Bridal Reflections made this one of the most effortless parts of wedding planning!
"I loved my entire Dress experience."
