Dress Love | Galia Lahav

Galia Lahav is just one of those wedding dress designers who's creations will leave you speechless! We are absolutely smitten over The St Tropez Collection. Gorgeous appliques, exquisite beading and the most perfect and intricate details adorn these stunning gowns. See the full collection here. Here is what the team at Galia Lahav had to say about this show stopping collection.
This season Galia Lahav’s bride explores the French Riviera, sails her yacht and rides her Harley Davidson from the heels of Monte Carlo, to the hot white graveled beaches in Cannes. From the film festival, the Casino and the royal palace in Monaco this is where royalties, actors, super-models, and celebrities meet and this collection is inspired by two princesses, on and off screen Brigitte Bardot and Grace Kelly.
Body-hugging silhouettes, softly embracing each curve, imperial ball gowns, and statuesque red carpet glamour dresses, all in a modern look, but with a wink at the sizzling 60s. Classic silk satins, chiffons, and French laces, Tulle and dotted net, mixed with hand embroidered details, using crystal and pearl embellishments, and antique cross-stitched ‘Gobelins’ medallions and floral motifs.
xoxo,
Ashley

Would you wear this?


Christian Lacroix has been well known for his haute couture and over the top designs, expecially in the wedding market.   The fashion industry will miss this innovative and trend-settting designer.
"Lacroix has had it rough this last year, the man who was the king of haute couture in the late 80s and early 90s had his final runway show in July 2009. Christian Lacroix's fashion house is to be dismantled after a Paris bankruptcy court approved a plan to shut down the firm's clothes design activities and axe nearly all its staff. "
