A detail that made your wedding special/unique?
The combination of all: The venue, the dress, and the Color palette. We had a violet/Lila-themed wedding, with really colorful violet flowers, candles, accents, and violet grapes and figs as table decorations, that guests started to snack and eat from.

How did you know your dress was 'the one'?
The Élysée dress was the first one that I saw online and the algorithm did its thing, and I saw the dress every day. When I saw that Galia Lahav had a Trunk Show in Zurich I had to go immediately. Normally I never have the chance to find exactly what I want to try on when in a store but the odds were in my favour. It was the first wedding dress that I tried and I felt the most comfortable and the most like myself. Also, I know what my husband likes and the Élysée complimented every detail of my body perfectly.

What was your favorite part of the wedding to plan/you were most looking forward to?
I think it was the decoration. I do care what people think so the first impression that my guests would have while entering the location was really the most important thing for me. So the decoration, flowers, and food were things that took a lot of our time, but it was also so beautiful to see everything that we had in mind come to life. We were mostly looking forward to the party when the nervousness of having all the eyes on us would start to fade and everybody would dance like no one was watching. With the great help of our wedding planner Lara, everything went so smoothly and she was the perfect fit for us! We can recommend everyone to have a wedding planner on their big wedding day and Lara was the best!

How did you meet your husband? How did he propose?
Our fathers were best friends, my brother and my husband were friends and working together. So we went to the same schools and had the same group of friends. I remember him picking me up from my dates, with his girlfriend on the passenger seat at the time. When I was 14 (so 14 years ago) I always told my friends that I would marry him one day but I would not actively do anything because I think it’s fate. Now 14 years later we’re married. I moved to Switzerland in 2017 while he was still living in Germany, we reconnected online in 2019 and he joined me in Switzerland in 2020. One year later we got engaged at our best friend's house where everything was decorated beautifully with nice food and a great cake. This happened after I accidentally discovered his plans to propose to me months prior and ruined the surprise with my noisiness.

How did you find working with the team at Galia Lahav?
I had the chance to try on the dress at Zoro Zurich when the Galia Lahav team was on site for the trunk show. We had a great time and they were really helpful and took the time to show me things they knew would fit me but I did not necessarily think to try them on. When I did try other dresses, it only made my decision harder. The reactions they had (Shelly & Danielle), were the reactions I expected from my guests. So I was pretty set on the dress. I did buy it at a later date at the Trunk Show at Bridal Boutique Baden while filming a TV Show which was also very fun.

How many dresses did you try on before you found it?
It was the first wedding dress I ever tried on and I was pretty set on it. Too many opinions led me to unnecessarily try on a lot of other dresses and I came back to my senses and to my favourite one.
