Pearls of Love: Charlotte and Patrick’s Cornish Wedding Dream

Where Studio Levana's Inclusive Design Meets Handcrafted Romance

From a chance online match to a fairytale wedding in Cornwall, Charlotte and Patrick’s love story is one for the books. Their special day, complete with a stunning Studio Levana Allium gown, proves that true love is all about embracing what makes you unique. For Charlotte, finding the perfect wedding dress was a priority, with size inclusivity being her main concern. 

What made the experience truly special was Studio Levana’s willingness to customize the dress. Charlotte felt a deep connection to the process, appreciating how the personalization reflected her unique personality. She was thrilled with the V-neck neckline and the way the dress fitted her curvy figure perfectly.

"I had been quite anxious at the start of my dress journey - thinking I wouldn't find anything that suited me & because of you - I felt amazing!"

Her search led her to Lush Curve in Dorking, England, where she discovered Studio Levana’s stunning designs. The moment she tried on her Allium gown – with its exquisite pearl detailing and elegant sleeves – she knew it was meant to be.

Charlotte and Patrick took a DIY approach to their wedding on March 30, creating paper flowers, dried flower centerpieces, and even embroidering napkins with guests’ initials. Their wedding day was filled with unforgettable moments, from Charlotte walking down the aisle to a wedding march/ABBA mash-up played by her father, to giving Patrick an embroidered handkerchief saying “Happy Tears Only” as he cried at the altar.
