At Studio Levana, we are endlessly inspired by the love stories of our brides.
Today, we’re thrilled to share Krystal and Zach’s beautiful journey—a story of persistence, long-distance love, and the magic of finding the perfect plus size wedding dress with a built-in corset that made her feel confident and stunning on her special day.


Krystal and Zach’s story began on Bumble, where a spark was ignited during their very first date. But there was a twist—Zach revealed he was moving to Florida, and Krystal, believing it wasn’t meant to be, initially wrote him off. However, love had other plans. They embraced a long-distance relationship, successfully navigating the miles between Maryland and Florida for almost two years. Their dedication paid off when Krystal made the life-changing move to Florida to be with Zach, proving that true love knows no distance.
As a plus size bride, Krystal knew the importance of choosing a bridal boutique that carried inclusive sizing and truly understood her needs. She found her dream gown at Curve Bridal in Jacksonville, Florida—a trusted Studio Levana retailer known for celebrating brides of all shapes and sizes.
Krystal’s vision was clear: she wanted a gown that felt classy yet sexy, and form-fitting in all the right places. Studio Levana’s signature built-in corset was exactly what she needed to feel sculpted and supported without the discomfort of extra shapewear. Though she later reflected that she might have preferred our shorter corset option for more comfort while sitting, she still loved the way her dress highlighted her beautiful curves and gave her confidence from morning to midnight.
“Just calm down. Nothing is the end of the world and the people helping you do this everyday so trust that they will ensure it’s done right. Just enjoy it as much as you can.”

As Krystal and Zach start this exciting chapter together, they are also preparing for their next big adventure—expecting their first child and moving back up north to raise their daughter closer to family. We are overjoyed for them and wish their growing family endless happiness and love.
