Claire & Jeremy’s Sound of Music Inspired Wedding at Audleys Wood

Claire & Jeremy’s wedding at Audleys Wood Hotel was joyful, emotional, and completely personal. From a Sound of Music inspired ceremony with real goats to Claire’s elegant plus size bridal look, every detail reflected their authentic love story.

Claire and Jeremy’s wedding at Audleys Wood Hotel was the perfect reminder that the most beautiful weddings are the ones that fully reflect the couple behind them.

Their day was emotional, joyful, slightly chaotic in the best way, and filled with personal details that made every moment feel genuinely theirs. From a “Sound of Music” inspired ceremony to live goats at the venue, this wedding was unforgettable from start to finish.

 

Claire and Jeremy’s love story did not begin in the most traditional way. After years of rebuilding her confidence and starting over, Claire met Jeremy online. What began slowly eventually turned into a relationship built on patience, support, and genuine love.

When it came to planning the wedding, the couple wanted something personal rather than overly formal. After visiting several venues, they fell in love with Audleys Wood Hotel, which became the perfect setting for their celebration.

The entire wedding was inspired by The Sound of Music. The tables were named after musical notes, the décor included mini guitars and handmade details, and guests were welcomed into a ceremony that felt fun, emotional, and completely unique to Claire and Jeremy.

Claire wore an elegant off-the-shoulder plus size wedding dress with soft draping, flowing fabric, and timeless simplicity. After frustrating experiences at boutiques with limited plus size options, finding the right gown at Lush Curve Bridal completely changed her bridal journey. Finished with a delicate belt and veil, the final look felt romantic, effortless, and completely true to her — exactly how she felt walking down the aisle.

“Our love story isn’t a typical one. It’s messy, real, imperfect — but it’s ours.”

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.
