How did you find working with the team at Galia Lahav, and how did you know your dress was 'the one'?

It was the only dress out of ALL of the ones I tried on where I felt like myself in it! Also, my maid of honor who rarely gets emotional, started tearing up when she saw me in it! The Galia Lahav team was so kind and accommodating! Because I loved my gown so much, I wanted to do a gown “transformation” instead of purchasing a 2nd outfit and doing an outfit change, which is very popular among brides right now, so they worked with me to make a completely custom version of the “Josi” gown! I was able to customize the sleeves to be removable, and they also worked with me to achieve a more sleek, elegant, and romantic pattern on the sleeves. Also, they attached an inner lining inside the skirt that we ripped out with a seam ripper after the ceremony! The partial see through look with the lace on the dancefloor during our first dance looked beautiful, and I ended up removing the sleeves, lassoing them around my head, and throwing them to my woman of honor in the middle of the dancefloor! It was iconic.

A detail that made your wedding special/unique? My husband and I both went to the same alma mater, The University of Texas at Austin, so we incorporated many “UT” elements into our wedding (color scheme, mentions of UT in our vows, and we kicked off the dancefloor with a singing a custom EDM mix of our school song made for us by our DJ @officialdjtj). We also incorporated our dog into our wedding by having her walk down the aisle and be held by my sister during the ceremony, naming our custom cocktails after her, and we had custom acrylic cocktail stirrers with her face on them.
