From a Match to a Milestone: Meaghan & Logan’s Timeless Connecticut Wedding

Meaghan and Logan’s love story began with a message online and led to a meaningful wedding day filled with personal touches, heartfelt moments, and a stunning Studio Levana gown. From a church ceremony in her hometown to a joyful reception at The Lace Factory, this couple celebrated their love their way—and looked incredible doing it.

Some love stories unfold like poetry—others begin with a message online. Meaghan and Logan’s journey started in February 2016 with a profile like, a thoughtful first message, and a shared sense of humor.

Their connection was instant—despite a late arrival and a slightly misleading beard on Logan’s part (as Meaghan jokes). But from that very first date, they knew something was different.

Eight years later, their wedding day was a heartfelt celebration of love, intention, and personal style.

Set against the romantic industrial charm of The Lace Factory, Meaghan and Logan’s wedding was designed with one guiding principle: Do what feels right for us. From skipping traditional favors in favor of warm late-night pretzels, to having both a jazz ensemble during dinner and a DJ to dance the night away, the couple curated every moment to reflect who they are.

The couple exchanged vows at Meaghan’s hometown church—a place filled with memories from her childhood and their relationship. It was the same church where she received her First Communion and Confirmation, and where the couple had attended services together.

At first, Meaghan envisioned a gown with lace—an intentional nod to their venue, a historic lace factory. But once she began trying on dresses, her vision started to shift. Rather than the textured styles she thought she wanted, she found herself drawn to clean, classic silhouettes with modern structure. To her surprise, a strapless gown with soft draped sleeves felt more like her than anything else she had tried. It was elegant, bright, and perfectly balanced the timeless and contemporary elements she was looking for.

 

“Not having to wear shapewear on my wedding day? A dream! The fabric was lightweight and breathable, and even with all the pleating and volume, I could move easily. It felt luxurious without being heavy. And the back—don’t even get me started. It was stunning and so flattering.”

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.
