She fell in love with the first dress she tried on–we see why!

When Gbade popped the question to Orevao, she already knew who would be designing her wedding gown–none other than Galia Lahav. Now, all that was left was to figure out the rest of the wedding details and find “the one”. When they decided on a romantic wedding at a waterfront estate and a pink-hued garden party reception, everything fell into place. Keep reading to see more from this beautiful wedding and of course, more of this stunning gown!

how they met

We met at a library in London when we were just teenagers studying for our exams. I was with my best friend and we were sitting on an empty table where some books had been left behind. As fate would have it, those books belonged to Gbade and his best friend. Gbade and I barely spoke that day, mainly laughing at our friends as we’re both the more reserved of each pairing. Then, 5 years later we met again! This time it was in Lagos, Nigeria, our home country. We hit it off straight away as if no time had passed. We were immediately drawn to each other. Since then, it's been 8 years and counting.

Orevao and her ladies took in the sun on the balcony of their private bridal suite at the villa overlooking the water while they prepped for the big day ahead. In between hugs and laughter, they snapped pics of each other and the incredible views. The bridesmaids donned romantic tulle dresses in shades of pastel pink before helping the bride into her gown.

This masterpiece by Galia Lahav is called Euphoria, and it's easy to see why. From the ethereal tulle skirt to the sexy illusion corset bodice and lace appliques, everything about the design is simply breathtaking and captures the essence of true love. If all of that wasn't enough to put you right over the edge, this gown boasts an epic monarch-style train that ensures the bride a grand entrance and an even more memorable exit. And the subtle hint of blush picked up the pink in the color palette beautifully!

I knew I would choose Galia Lahav as my wedding dress designer when I was wedding dress shopping for my sister in 2019. So, as soon as I got engaged I went to Browns Bride in London to find my dream Galia dress. It was the first dress I tried on! I fell in love straight away. Of course, I tried other dresses and went to other bridal shops to be certain. Three days later, I went back to Browns Bride–it was a done deal! The most beautiful dress for the most incredible occasion.

With the water and cliffs as their backdrop Orevao and Gbade gathered at a banquet table that stretched the length of the garden. The center of the table was lined with floral arrangements in shades of blush and ivory and romantic candlelight.

When the sun went down the sparks flew (literally) and the twinkle lights came on to really get the party started. The two danced well into the night and right into their happily ever after. And, it's safe to say this dress looks as good in motion as it does walking down the aisle.
