Maddie, a former wedding planner and florist, found herself on the other side of the wedding industry when planning her own special day. Despite her professional experience, the journey to becoming a bride brought unexpected challenges, especially when it came to finding the perfect wedding dress.
As a plus-size bride, Maddie initially feared that finding the perfect dress would be difficult. She wanted a gown with sleeves that were intentionally designed for her body type, not an afterthought. She found exactly what she was looking for in the Nera gown by Studio Levana.
"Plan a wedding that truly reflects you and your partner. Let your love story guide every decision, and remember that, in the end, the most important thing is the marriage itself."
Maddie’s gown shopping experience was a dream come true. After discovering Studio Levana, she traveled to Savannah, GA, for a trunk show. There, she was blown away by the craftsmanship and design of the gowns, particularly the Nera, which was designed with plus-size brides in mind. The corset options provided both comfort and confidence, and the ability to customize the gown made it uniquely hers.
