Our #GLBride of the week is Victoria Radford, who happily married her fiancé in our GALA 802. The couple tied-the-knot in Lisbon Portugal at the luxurious and elegant Postana Palace Hotel. In the following interview, Victoria shares with us the details behind her romantic destination wedding and the moment she said yes to the dress.
"Before I even knew what I wanted, I knew"
How did you meet your husband? Tell us a little bit about your relationship.
I met my husband through the general manager of L’oreal, where he is a business development consultant. He was introduced to me as a potential perk with the company to help me with my business. So initially our relationship was professional, however, neither one of us could deny our strong feelings for each other and we quickly fell in love.
How did you find your perfect dress?
Before I even knew what I wanted, I knew I wanted a dress from Galia Lahav. I worked with Andrea, from White, who understood my style and body type and showed me so many options I would have loved. But I knew right away when I put my dress on that it was perfect for me. Galia customized it to make it unique and even more special.
"..it was perfect for me. "
How was your experience with the Galia Lahav brand?
Ten out of ten! I’ve had the pleasure to meet Sharon and do makeup for an event they held in Toronto. So knowing that he was a big part of the process of my dress I knew I was in good hands. Every detail was perfect. Every piece of lace placed with care. It felt like I was wearing couture.
What moment from your wedding will you never forget?
Everyone gave me the advice to take some time privately with your husband, so right before we walked down the aisle together we decided to have a quick coffee date down the street. When we walked into the park with the cafe, we were quickly surrounded by adorable little children thinking we were a Prince and Princess from a fairy tale. It was such an unexpected beautiful spontaneous moment, just for us. It felt like magic! And after that I was ready to walk down the aisle knowing my Prince would be there at the end, to live happily ever after!
