A Brief History of Wedding Dress Designer Galia Lahav

Galia Lahav's fashion career began in 1984 when she left the education field to embark on her dreams of design. She started the Galia Lahav House of Couture by creating bridal and evening wear collections that went on to gain her international recognition. Galia Lahav bridal is credited as one of the first designers to create wedding dresses with a distinctly sensual appeal. She was unafraid to experiment with strategically placed cutout panels and sheer fabric appealing to the sexy yet discerning bride. 

Today, Galia Lahav 2020 collections are available at 70 luxury retailers in 40 countries, with flagship stores located in Tel Aviv, Los Angeles, New York, and Hamburg. She runs the company alongside designer, Sharon Sever, and company CEO, Idan Lahav, her son. 

Other Galia Lahav Labels

Galia Lahav wedding gowns are designed under two distinct labels within the Tel Aviv fashion house. Along with their custom-made bridal couture line priced from $7,000 to $20,000, the brand also designs under their GALA by Galia Lahav label, which was launched in 2016. GALA by Galia Lahav operates as a made-to-order contemporary line and brings the brand's lavish aesthetic to a more accessible price point of $4,000 to $7,000. In addition to Galia Lahav bridal gowns, the designer also produces luxury evening wear collections, which have become a favorite among celebrity clients.
