Mikah Darby's Wedding

This week's GL Bride is the gorgeous Mikah Darby, who celebrated her nuptials in our Ruth gown. Mikah and her fiance held a 3-day wedding event complete with a poolside rehearsal party and a day at the Del Mar derby. In this interview with Mikah, she shares the moments she loved the most and how she decided on her GL dress.

"I knew my dress was the one, the minute I tried it on."

How did you meet your husband? How did he propose?

We met on a dating app, although my husband is a little embarrassed to admit it. He actually proposed at our wedding venue! I thought we were going to the Alila Marea for his mom’s birthday brunch, but he ended up proposing! Then my mom and best friend surprised me and joined us for brunch.

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

Working with the Galia Lahav team was just as expected. They made me feel beautiful and did whatever they could to accommodate me. - I knew my dress was the one, the minute I tried it on. It was the first dress I tried on at Galia Lahav and after that, it was a wrap! I knew I didn’t need to see anything else, so I bought it right then and there. I also knew that I wanted multiple looks on my wedding day, so I loved that the dress had a detachable overskirt.

"Don’t worry about things being perfect. Take time to pause throughout the day and take it all in, THIS is your wedding day!!"

How did it feel to put on your dress the day of the wedding? What was everyone’s reactions to the dress?

Stepping into my dress on my wedding day is a feeling I’ll never forget. I felt like I was ready for the red carpet! I ended up doing a first look with all my bridesmaids and that was so much fun. It was hard for all of us not to cry our makeup off.

A detail that made your wedding special and unique?

We tried to be really guest-focused in our planning. We wanted the wedding to be a big, 3-day party. Instead of doing a rehearsal dinner, we did a rehearsal pool party on Friday. Our wedding was on Saturday and then Sunday, we all put on our best derby attire and rented a box suite at the Del Mar Horse Races.
