For over a decade, Galia Lahav has redefined bridal fashion with her luxurious, avant-garde gowns that blend modern elegance with couture craftsmanship. Her collections have graced runways around the world and adorned brides who seek not just a wedding dress, but a work of art. In this retrospective, we take a year-by-year look at Galia Lahav’s most memorable collections from the past 10 years, exploring how each one captured the spirit of its time while pushing the boundaries of bridal design.

2015: The Rise of the Red Carpet Bride

Galia Lahav blurred the lines between bridal and evening couture in 2015 with her “Les Reves Bohemians” and “Tales of the Jazz Age” collections. These gowns took inspiration from bohemian muses and roaring ‘20s decadence. Metallic embellishments, art-deco beadwork, and feather-light fabrics gave brides the feeling of walking a red carpet rather than down the aisle. The designs also featured detachable skirts and dramatic trains—details that allowed brides to transform their looks throughout the wedding day.

The flagship Galia Lahav collection, meanwhile, continued to dazzle with its architectural corsetry and luxurious textiles, proving that ethereal could still be strikingly powerful.
