Laura & Dominic’s North Yorkshire Wedding

Laura and Dominic celebrated their wedding in North Yorkshire with personal details, an Allium Studio Levana gown Laura had loved for years, and a barn owl delivering their rings.

Laura and Dominic met online, and from the beginning, their relationship was built on supporting each other through life’s hardest moments. 

Their North Yorkshire wedding brought together the people they love, personal details, and one very memorable ring bearer.

Laura describes their relationship simply: Dominic supported her through the hardest time in her life, while she “brought chaos” and he embraced every moment. When it came time to plan their wedding, they focused on creating a day that made them both happy.

 

Laura had known about her wedding dress long before she was engaged. She first saw the Studio Levana Allium gown online years earlier and immediately knew it was the dress she wanted.

Once engaged, she began searching for somewhere in the UK where she could try it on. Her search eventually took her to London and Heavenly Bodies Bridal, where she was finally able to wear the dress she had remembered for years.

Even after losing 6.5 stone, Laura said the gown fitted her “like a glove.” Laura particularly loved the flexibility Studio Levana offered when creating her final bridal look. Different corset and sleeve options gave her the opportunity to customise the Allium gown and create the version she had imagined.

“Having a range of corsets and sleeve options really made the dress of my dreams a reality.”

as fabulous as Studio Levana brides?

Laura’s advice for couples planning their wedding is to enjoy the process and take their time. Planning can bring difficult decisions and unexpected circumstances, but for Laura and Dominic, what mattered was doing what made them both happy.

For the future, Laura and Dominic are looking forward to growing their family in whatever form that takes. Their plans include chickens, ducks, perhaps more animals and maybe children too.

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.

Five gowns in the Rêves collection come in two versions — same fabric, same signature corset, two different silhouettes. A-line skirts sweep and move; Fitted silhouettes follow the body before releasing into a train. Here’s how that choice plays out across Claire, Manon, Anaïs Sparkly, Corinne, and Lise — so you can find which one is you.
