Autumn weddings have a way of feeling warm, romantic, and effortlessly beautiful, and Abbie and Jamie’s celebration at Wickham Estate in Southampton was no exception.
Surrounded by autumn colors, vineyard views, and the people they love most, the couple created a wedding day that felt completely true to them.
Their story began on Tinder when Abbie asked Jamie to tell her a joke. Thankfully, he delivered. They quickly bonded over pub quizzes, dogs, music, and countless laughs. Just two months after meeting, lockdown brought them even closer together, and four years later they stood at the altar ready to begin married life as husband and wife.
On Abbie – Margo Dress with London Sunset sleeves.
For Abbie, finding her wedding dress was about having genuine choice. Like many plus size brides, she wanted to know that the gowns she tried on were designed to fit and flatter her body, rather than simply being available in larger sizes.
After visiting Lush Curve Bridal, she found exactly what she had been searching for in the Studio Levana Margot gown.
The Margot gown perfectly matched her vision. With its flattering bodice, dramatic neckline, statement sleeves, and flowing skirt, it offered the combination of comfort, confidence, and elegance she wanted for her wedding day.
Abbie later described her experience wearing the gown in one word: obsessed.
“I wanted choice. I wanted to know I had options and that they’d fit me. Made for plus size and not just plus size sizes.”

Set against the beautiful surroundings of Wickham Estate, Abbie and Jamie’s wedding embraced the rich colors and atmosphere of the season. Autumn florals, vineyard views, and countryside scenery created the perfect backdrop for a celebration focused on love, laughter, and family.
The day was filled with special memories, but there was also plenty of fun. Among the highlights was a bouncy castle that brought an extra sense of joy and celebration to the occasion and reflected the couple’s relaxed approach to their wedding day.
Now that the wedding celebrations are over, the couple are looking forward to their next chapter together. Having recently purchased their first home, they are excited to settle into married life and continue building a future.
Their next big plan?
