Our #GLBride of the week is the lovely Lindsey Caldwell, who made it official with her fiancé Michael in our Aelin gown. Surrounded by countless flowers, the couple held their whimsical romantic wedding at Lindsey’s family ranch, Stillwaters Ranch. In the following interview, Lindsey shares with us the wedding moments she will never forget and how she discovered her dream GL dress.

"Overall, I started with a vision of what we wanted..."

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

We met on Bumble, #ModernRomance. From our first date, I knew Michael was different. He didn’t play games, he pursued me, and I just felt a sense of peace I had never known until meeting Michael. We both share so many core values, our faith, our love for our family, and our desire to dream big and pursue crazy paths God takes us on. Michael is someone I knew early on I wanted to be with forever. He’s kind, he’s loyal, he loves his friends and family in a way I’ve never witnessed, and he is truly my best friend. We’re also pretty goofy, which makes the mundane parts of life fun because he always keeps me laughing.

How did you find your perfect dress?

I’ve had friends wear Galia Lahav, and every time I have seen them they always looked so different. Once we chose the ranch, I really wanted something that felt whimsical, something that moved easily, and I felt glam in. I tried on lots of dresses but kept going back to the Galia designs, the shape of the dress, and the details. I loved how light the train was, and the gold, mixed metallic beading.

The dress was unlike anything I had tried on, and as soon as I walked out, my mom and I knew, ‘this is it!’ It also was such an incredible experience to be able to customize the dress a bit. I didn’t want strapless, so we were able to make the dress off the shoulder and it was held up by a t-shirt shaped tulle, so there was no adjusting or fixing the straps at all.

How was your experience with the Galia Lahav brand?

The details on the gowns are phenomenal, and truly unlike any other designer. I love following GL on Instagram and seeing the behind the scenes clips of how they’re truly setting and creating bridal trends. The work that goes into their gowns is simply incredible, and you will feel the difference. The beading on the gown I received was just so intricate and even more elaborate than the sample I tried on!

What moment from your wedding will you never forget?

My dad married us and we ended up making the entire pathway from the top of the ranch down to the lake the aisle. I’ll never forget that moment walking down. I’m very close with my parents, and I just remember crying happy tears with my Dad as we made the journey down, and he was proud of me.

The other reality is my dad has prayed daily for my sister and me, and on that list has always been for Godly husbands, it was such a special moment just realizing it had all become an answered prayer. Since the aisle was so long, I was able to really see everyone’s face, see friends and family from all over, and will never forget that. It meant the world to me to see so many friends from New York, LA, and all over to help us celebrate.

"I think the word for the wedding is whimsical, and it really was!"
