The best bridal experience ever!!! I went to countless boutiques to try on wedding gowns, and nothing even came close to the experience I had at Galia Lahav in LA. Kaila listened to every single detail about my dream wedding dress, and we ended up designing a completely custom gown that is more beautiful than I could ever have imagined!!! She helped me through every step of the process and was so amazing to work with. The seamstress Gabby was so friendly and made me the most beautiful custom sleeves. She listened to all of my requests and made every adjustment perfectly. If you want your dream wedding dress, I cannot recommend Galia Lahav LA enough!!

Galia makes the most exquisite gowns and since my wedding Ive raved about the dress and the experience so much that two of my friends also found their dress at Galias! The manager in the LA store, Kaila, was incredibly helpful when I wanted to order the dress a few months before my wedding and she rushed the order and alterations and even ordered it in custom sizing that would fit my body shape to reduce the need for crazy alterations. Id recommend the dress and experience to anyone.

My experience at Galia Lahav was excellent from the start. Anthony makes you feel so comfortable and let’s you be super honest with what you like and dislike. He gets what you mean without you staying it, which was not something I found at other bridal gown stores. Everything was seamless from the start and the whole staff is so nice. They also have a good amount of room to walk around in the dresses to really get a feel for them. I’d highly recommend :)

When I first tried on a Galia Lahav I instantly fell in love and I couldnt have any other designer. After searching in Utah and Texas at different retailers, my mom and I decided to take a trip to LA to go to the flagship store. The experience was amazing and they have every Galia dress of your dreams! We were with Anthony and he was so amazing! I was a very indecisive bride but he was so patient with me and in the end we found my DREAM dress! I cant recommend Anthony and GL Flagship enough, it was 110% worth it

I didnt know if Galia Lahav was going to have the dress for me, I had seen a few online that I loved, but you can never tell until you go into a boutique and try on.From the moment I walked in however, I knew I had found the perfect fit for me in every way. Anthony was assigned to me, and he was one of the most fun, sincere, and honest associates I have worked with during the dress buying process.I opted to go sans friends to pick out my dress because I wanted the professionals to give me their honest opinion. This was the best decision I have made. Anthony was able to look at my body type and match me with dresses that were going to work for me. He guided me to the right styles for my frame and was gentle and honest when things did not work in my favor.I felt like a Queen from the moment I walked into Galia Lahav. Covid has put such a bummer on wedding planning, but honestly, it didnt affect this experience at all. They pamper you from the moment you walk in... Even in a mask, I felt so beautiful and all of the associates there helped me in my decision.As far as the dress is concerned, all I can say is wow! It is a showstopper. What is so great about it though (in addition to the details, craftsmanship, and daring back) is that I wanted to make a minor change to the neckline. Anthony and his team were quick to get to accommodate and we figured out how I will get my absolutely perfect one of a kind for me wedding dress.You only get married once, do it right. Trust Anthony and his team of amazing people to help you find your happily ever after dress, I did

I had an excellent experience at Galia and I found THE dress. Anthony helped me and he was truly amazing. He quickly picked up on my desired style, and he made me feel very glam and comfortable. Thank you Anthony & Galia!

I became obsessed with Galia dresses when I first laid eyes on Fabiana, the dress was absolutely magical that I knew when I finally got engaged, that I needed to go try on her dresses. As I stalked GL on instagram, the newest collection had so many dresses that I loved, and lucky me, there was a trunk show in LA coming up. I scheduled the my appointment and when I arrived, I was paired with Anthony! Honestly, I dont think I would have found my dress without him (and I feel a little bad for anyone who doesnt get to work with him/the whole Galia team). I was super nervous because I have curves (B cups dont do anything for me) and didnt even know if I would fit into anything. Anthony note only got me into every dress, but tucked and clipped everywhere so I could actually envision what it would look like. I asked for wild cards, he gave me wild cards! At the end of the appointment, I was between 2 dresses (shockingly not Fabiana), that we frakensteined to be the perfect dress. But, since my mother was out of town, I didnt pull the trigger just yet. Low and behold, about a month later, a new gown came out that was essentially what we had designed. Anthony texted me almost immediately and told me the second it came in, he would call. Well, he did, and I squeezed in an appointment to go try it on + the others that I loved. When I put the new one on, we all knew it was my dress and I could not be happier. He was an amazing person to work with, knew immediately when I liked something, or didnt, made sure I could imagine the dress fitting properly and just in general went above and beyond. Anthony + team were really such a light in my dress shopping journey that I barely even remember the lower points from some other salons. Now, just (im)patiently waiting for it to come in!!!

I had my second bridal appointment at Galia Lahav and had the most amazing experience. Anthony, my stylist, knew exactly what to do and what questions to ask in order to find the perfect dress for me. He made me feel confident enough to say yes to the dress, and I cant say enough good things about him and how helpful he was. Thank you Anthony for all your help, you took all the stress out of finding a dress and it will make my special day even more memorable!

I had the best experience finding my wedding dress at Galia Lahav! From start to finish, everything was exactly how you’d dream it to be!Anthony was amazing, he did a great job making me feel comfortable, listening to my preferences, and just making the whole process an unforgettable experience. I came in twice, the first time I found THE ONE but didn’t want to commit without my grandmas there. Anthony didn’t pressure me at all to make a commitment, he was the one that told me to go home and think about it. It was such a relief! I emailed him because I had a question about the zipper on the dress and he drove to the OC to pick up the same dress with a different zipper just so I’d be able to try it on the next day! He really knew his stuff, when I showed him pictures of dresses at other bridal salons he recognized every salon I’d been to right away! Everyone that I brought with me couldn’t stop talking about how lucky we were to have Anthony helping us.I was just so impressed with everything. The service was great, the place was beautiful, and the dresses were stunning. I’m so indecisive so I thought that I’d have to visit 10+ bridal shops before choosing a dress but they really made it so easy to say yes here. I found the dress of my dreams and I’m just so happy with the whole experience!

Curvy girls come forth!Galia Lahav will take care of you!To all my fat-bottomed girls who make the rocking world go round: If you have the budget for a Galia Lahav dress, but youre afraid of being too big to try on anything, feel assured!! You will be taken care of. Anthony has 9 years of experience and knows how to make dresses work for your body.The fear of wedding dress shopping when youre an American wearing a size 12 or up, can be hard. There are stores out there that will let you down. There are consultants who will not be great resources. Which are things we need when we are looking for a dress we feel beautiful in.Anthony was a magician, who delivered the most excellent shopping experience I have ever had. Was everything in the store my size? No, but even sizes that were too small didnt stop Anthony. He got me into dresses that were not my size. He also pulled out alternate dresses with the same silhouette to give me security with dresses that were a little too snug.I felt beautiful, comfortable, and like I had a kind, resourceful sales person, willing to make anything work for me.

My experience I had at Galia Lahav was amazing. The staff there is so friendly and sweet. Anthony and Kelly went above and beyond to help me find my dream wedding dress and order it exactly how I envisioned. The gowns are beyond stunning, with the most exquisite detailing. But besides Galia having gorgeous gowns, I really feel like their customer service elevates the brand and this bridal salon specifically, to a whole different level. Thank you Galia Lahav and team for a experience I will cherish forever!

These guys are exceptional. I had the pleasure of meeting both brothers who own the place. Their service is top notch. I used to hate getting things tailored because you could never be sure of the work/result, but I would definitely feel comfortable going back to Galia Lahav and recommending anyone looking for a tailor. Thank you.

I had the most amazing experience! Anthony was my stylist and he made this process SO amazing. Seriously you need him as your stylist.He listened to everything I wanted and showed me things I didnt even know Id like. His process of elimination was perfect. He never left me doubting my decisions. My entire family was there and he only focused on me and didnt make me feel over whelmed with options or opinions of others and he also was so pleasant with my family and they loved him just as much as I did. I cant say enough nice things about him. They have the most amazing dresses there I walked in there reallly not thinking I was going to find my dress and walked out saying yes! Anthony thank you for today! You have noIdea how much I appreciate it and how relieved I feel having found the one!

Quite simply, you MUST get your wedding gown from Galia Lahav. I had the most phenomenally exquisite experience finding my dream dress, and I know you will too.Ask Beyonce. Ask Katy Perry. Or ask me. Galia Lahav is a cut above the rest for so many reasons. The guarantee is that you will always feel like a goddess, and I felt that firsthand the first time I stepped into the LA showroom for my appointment.I was immediately greeted by my stylist, Kara Day, who would go on to become a close friend of mine. Oh Kara, Kara, Kara, I could ramble about all her amazing qualities for hours! From the moment we met, I knew she got it. Kara has this magical unicorn quality where shes always 100% positive, enthusiastic and here to be your biggest cheerleader, but never once made me feel uncomfortable by acting pushy, which many stylists at other boutiques tend to do. Instead, Kara chose to get to know me as a person, my style and we built from there. We had a blast shopping around the store pulling gowns, trying them on and narrowing down the ones we liked most. Kara was instrumental in every step of my appointment, from helping me select gowns that fit my style, to zipping me in and out and basically just being an incredible friend and support system. You really dont get that at every boutique (trust me, I went to about 10 places in LA), but at Galia, it was so clear that its just their second nature.We ordered my gown in February, it arrived early in August and after two alterations appointments in September, I was ready to go for my October destination wedding. Kara checked in with me while my gown was being made to provide updates and let me know that everything was on track, which as brides know, is hugely important.Other amazing qualities about Galia Lahav: the gowns. Theyre expertly crafted and unlike anything Ive ever seen before. The hand beaded/sewn details are remarkable, the corsets are insanely flattering and cinch you in all the right places and whats even more incredible, is that everything is pretty customizable. I selected the Lidya gown, and changed the fabric from nude to ivory, and texture from matte to sparkly. In my humble opinion, the dress is a work of art and I wish I could wear it weekly LOL.But whats more, is the service. Youll carry the memory of shopping for your wedding dress for the rest of your life, and I promise, if you shop with Galia Lahav, youll be flooded with smiles and warm feelings forever. Every time I stepped into their stunning showroom, every single stylist greeted me with a huge hug, asked me all about my upcoming celebration and made me feel part of the Galia Lahav family. I cant wait for you to have that same, magical experience!

I have had 10+ garments tailored by these guys and the quality is amazing. I moved to LA after living in New York for a few years and was very happy to find a quality tailor who could do both casual and formal garments. Bottom line: expert work, no complaints and competitive prices.

Ive had the best experience shopping for the perfect wedding dress thanks to Anthony. After trying several other bridal salons I finally felt at ease and knew I was in good hands after coming in to try on dresses for the first time. From the beginning, Anthony was so friendly, professional and most importantly, tuned into my needs and wants. We spent a good amount of time just talking about my must haves for a dress before even trying anything on. This was much different than at other salons where you basically feel rushed from the moment you walk in. I appreciate that he took the time to listen to me and even take notes while doing so. And he even held me accountable to what we had written down (which looking back was great for me.) I got so excited trying things on that it was hard to stay on track. Anthony helped me stay on track by asking me questions after we tried on each dress. Which was veryyy helpful. When every dress in the store is beautiful you want them all! This makes it hard to be decisive and remember what you wanted in the first place! Furthermore, I never felt rushed to make a decision, which felt great. He followed up after my first visit but it felt genuine and not sales pitchy or forcibly trying to make a sale. Overall I had an amazing experience and I’m so happy I found my dream dress thanks to Anthony’s amazing care!

I went dress shopping for the very first time back in September and Anthony helped me find the PERFECT dress!!! He knew exactly which dresses to pull that would work for my body and crazy enough, it only took trying on 4-5 dresses before I said YES! Anthony was an absolute dream to work with and cannot wait to come back for my dress fittings! xo

I had an excellent experience since day one at the Galia Lahav LA flagship store. I am not from the area, and just happened to make an appointment while I was in town for training because I love Galias dresses. Anthony was amazing to work with! Being by myself, it was hard to make a decision on a dress, but he definitely made the decision easier. He took pictures, talked to my sisters and mom via facetime and I made the decision on the dress. A few months later, my sisters, mom and I flew back into LA to see the dress in person and we all agreed on the dress. Anthony was a pleasure to work with. The suggestions and vision that he had for the final dress were amazing, and I cant wait until I see the actual dress in October. As an added bonus, he instantly clicked with all of the different personalities my sisters, mom and I have, which just makes the experience that much enjoyable. The level and the quality of service, as well as the professionalism is one of the main reasons why I choose to fly to LA instead of dealing with a local boutique closer to my home. Thank you so much, and I look forward to everything to follow in this process!

The only person I trust with my clothes. Alterations always come out perfect. Prices are reasonable. I have been going here for some time now (over5yrs) and always comes out perfect. From my Zegna suits to my True Religion jeans Diego always hooks me up with a Movie Star look.

My experience at Galia Lahav was unforgettable and such a wonderful delight. To give context, before coming to Galia Lahav, I had visited 17 bridal salons prior... So to say this has been a long and thorough journey, is an understatement. Through the adventures of each salon, and slipping each gown on, I felt pretty and liked how I looked, but there was still this missing feeling that I couldnt connect between my head and my heart.I went online and completed the form and within 18 hours I got a call to schedule an appointment. You have to provide a credit card to hold your reservation in case youre a no-show /do a last minute cancellation. After booking, I received a very detailed email with instructions, what to expect and how to prepare for my appointment. Their flagship store, while a bit large in open studio space and depth, only has 4 fitting rooms, so theyre very intimate in providing a personal and focused experience.My bridal consultant, Anthony was super helpful, friendly and accommodating. He made me feel so incredibly comfortable and I had so much fun trying on dresses with him! When I arrived, he sat with me to ask what I was looking for, and what I liked and didnt like in gowns Ive tried previously. He also asked for a few reference photos. Given I had already gone through the full array of bridal gown consultants in the past 6 months of dress shopping, let me help save you the trouble of going through the exhaustive search. I HIGHLY recommend Anthony. Through my entire bridal gown journey, at other salons, Ive been paired with new in the business consultants who are not as great in matching me to the gowns Im asking for / that pin me into gowns in an unflattering way, to the overly pushy sales associates who said everything looked amazing on me and insisted I try on dresses that I clearly said I didnt like the certain features on. Anthony was so helpful guiding and pushing me to explain what I liked and didnt like as we tried on each gown, and the moment I tried on the third gown, I KNEW I found the one and fell in love. He allowed me to try on a few other gowns after that, that I had been eyeing. I ultimately came back to the third gown and was so incredibly happy. Anthony was so patient and helpful with me throughout the entire process and even when completing the purchase and transaction. I felt so incredibly beautiful and confident in the gown that I didnt want to take it off. I LOVED working with him and cant recommend anyone else more! Im so so happy with my gown and cant wait for it to arrive! I loved the entire process and keep replaying the videos of me trying on the gown and keep grinning ear to ear with excitement for my dress to arrive.Definitely request to meet with Anthony! Hell make sure youre comfortable and understands how to help his clients with getting to their dream gown. All of Galias gowns are gorgeous and the salon was so beautiful.
