Galia Lahav has long been one of THE most beloved bridal designers here on STG. A proudly female-founded brand with deep Jewish and Israeli roots (did you know that to this day each and every gown is handcrafted in Israel?!), Galia Lahav is known for creating some of the most exquisite, fashion-forward wedding gowns out there – just browse through some of the many Galia Lahav brides we’ve featured over the years.
These are dresses for the bride who knows who she is and isn’t afraid to be unapologetically herself – in other words, the kind of bride who absolutely embodies “your Jewish wedding your way.”
And we’re so thrilled that this year marks the brand’s 40th anniversary! While Israeli bridal fashion is de rigeur these days, back then designers from Tel Aviv were pretty much unheard of on the international scene. But from a tiny Tel Aviv Studio, Galia Lahav was born from the eponymous founder’s unwavering belief that Israeli design could stand shoulder to shoulder with the world’s leading fashion houses. This was a bold idea at the time, and in some ways it feels even bolder now – but against all odds, Galia Lahav set the stage for the unlikely (but totally fabulous!) rise of international Israeli couture, in the wedding world and beyond.
