Harmony in Love: A Tale of Sushi, Music, and Forever

Anna and Jason's Journey from Strangers to The Cure, Comfort, and Beyond

Anna and Jason’s love story began in the digital realm of dating apps, where a first date at a sushi restaurant set the stage for a lifetime of adventures. From hesitant sushi tastings to romantic proposals after a concert, their journey was filled with unexpected surprises and cherished moments.

When it came to finding the perfect wedding dress, Anna, a plus size bride, navigated through online research to discover her ideal A-line style gown. Comfort was key, and with the support of a built-in corset and exquisite craftsmanship by Studio Levana, she felt like a vision of romance on her wedding day.

Me and my fiance would have a date and do something that wasn't wedding planning. When we were out we would not discuss anything about the wedding, just enjoy our time together.

Their future holds exciting adventures, including a dream honeymoon to explore the wonders of the U.S. West Coast. From Disneyland to the majestic redwood forests and the serene Oregon coast, Anna and Jason look forward to creating more cherished memories together as they embark on this new chapter of their lives.

Detachable Sleeves & Boleros: One Gown, Two Looks

A bride doesn’t wear one look on her wedding day. She stands at the altar in one version of herself, then dances the night away in another. A handful of Rêves gowns make that easy, with detachable sleeves, straps, and sheer boleros built right in, so the ceremony dress and the reception dress can be the exact same gown.

The Studio Levana Corset, Explained

There’s a hero in every Studio Levana gown, and you’ll never see it. We call it the magic corset, built right into the bodice so there’s no separate piece to fit around and nothing left to guess. Here’s how it shows up in three gowns that don’t have much else in common: Ines, Corinne Fitted, and Yvette Fitted.

Here’s how that choice plays out across Claire, Manon, Anaïs Sparkly, Corinne, and Lise — so you can find which one is you.
