Brides who're into red carpet-worthy creations designed to wow would probably have seen designer Galia Lahav's sultry wedding dresses from her eponymous bridal label.

Her latest lineup of wedding dresses, unveiled at New York Bridal Fashion Week, channels the Latin romance and heritage of Lisbon, Portugal, where soft, pastel-hued buildings are set against golden beaches and turquoise shores.

Lahav signatures, like glorious trains, figure-hugging sheaths, deep necklines and plunging open backs run the gamut of the collection, but we also had eyes for a particularly memorable, shimmery ballgown with an oversized 3-D floral applique at the waist and a thigh-high slit, as well as a gossamer light blush hued pleated piece with balloon sleeves, and a champagne-hued floral-embroidered sheath that can be worn with a diaphanous overskirt. There are also pieces that take on the motifs of Portuguese tiles.

One other thing you'll love about Lahav's creations: its series of detachable trains, overskirts , dramatic veils and even airy pull-on sleeves that allow you to instantly change up your look.
