These mermaid-inspired wedding dresses by Galia Lahav are too gorgeous

Galia Lahav Gala IX Wedding Dress Collection – Bridal Musings – G-402

Goddesses of the ocean! The new GALA IX Collection takes a twist on what it means to wear a “mermaid” style wedding gown.

The latest GALA dress collection by Galia Lahav is for brides with an eternally free spirit – inspired by the sirens of the sea. It displays elements of ethereal beauty and feminine power with wedding gowns that glimmer like ocean waves.

Intertwining the harmony of the sea with body-contouring shapes, the Gala IX Collection drips in bridal decadence. Ocean-inspired embellishments make for dazzling colors and plays on sparkle and texture. Fabrics like tulle and silks flow freely from the body like the movement of the breeze. We’ve truly lost our hearts at sea and in designers Galia Lahav and Sharon Sever’s stunning creativity.

Brides, let’s float away together and let your beauty shine!

This dress collection is all about the movement of fabric! G-407 is a one-sleeved stunner. It’s whimsical and edgy, mixing a natural-inspired lace applique with sparkle embroidery. It’s unique while maintaining a classic elegance that the modern bride will love. G-411 plays with the beachy fantasy through layers of silk gauze and tulle as a spin on a more classic ballgown. It even has detachable silk gauze bows that we think complete this look all the way from shoulder to train.

Unique sparkle fabrics like the hand beading of G-406 and gossamer fabric of G-402 adorn this collection throughout each style. And while we’ve shared stunning favorites from all their recent collections here, it’s impossible to choose only a few. The imaginative details shine throughout this entire collection, and let brides shimmer in their own happiness.

“Many have tried and gloriously failed to resist the call of the sea.”

From Galia Lahav

Many have tried and gloriously failed to resist the call of the sea. Why not surrender to the allure, the emotion and the stunning beauty of the deep blue? As intrepid explorer Jacques Yves Cousteau once famously said: “The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.”

Diving into our fantastical imaginations, mermaids eternally roam free in spirit — and life — beneath the surface. Throughout the ages, the aquatic enchantresses have captivated with their unparalleled beauty and irresistible powers of persuasion. They fearlessly explore, protect and live in harmony with the vibrant underwater life around them.

Spellbound, too, head designers Galia Lahav and Sharon Sever have harnessed the magic, freedom and emotion of the sea — and its mesmerizing denizens — for the ethereal Gala IX bridal collection.

A spectrum of hypnotic metallics and delicate blushes mimic kaleidoscopic scales of stunning sea creatures and the hues of precious coral and underwater flora. Delicate beading and exquisite sequins resemble droplets of water reflecting dazzling sun rays or a ship’s beacon in the romantic moonlight.

Beguiling shoulder-baring bodices and body-contouring waistlines conjure up the silhouette of a spellbinding mermaid. Soft tulle layers on A-line skirting and flowing sleeves create powerful and rapturous movement — as if one is swimming freely in the deep blue ripples and waves.

Pioneering like seafaring adventurers, the designers also created new unique fabrics by combining gorgeous textures, like a shimmering gossamer-like netting that brings undulating seaweed to mind. So the bride can express her own singular personal style and empowered values on her wedding day — and happily sail off onto her next adventure in life.
