From walking to school together to becoming best friends, their bond grew stronger with each passing year.

Lisa’s search for the perfect wedding dress led her to Studio Levana, a brand she discovered through Pinterest. Drawn to Studio Levana’s commitment to creating beautiful gowns for curvy brides, Lisa immediately connected with the brand’s values.
