For most women, choosing a wedding dress is an endless process of trial and error that takes multiple stores, appointments, and fittings before finding the one. But for a fashion designer with a singular aesthetic and the wish to design her own dress, it might actually be more difficult. Laura Lowena-Irons, half of the creative director team behind the popular British-Bulgarian label Chopova Lowena, made up her mind early on in her engagement to design her own dress with her co-designer Emma Chopova. Seems simple enough, they thought, until a pandemic and Brexit rocked their plans.
Lowena-Irons and her fiancé Daniel Lowena-Irons were initially going to get married on May 10, 2020 with a big celebration in Somerset, England. Imagine rolling hillsides, layered cakes, and their Boston Terrier Ida rollicking through the fields. COVID canceled their plans, and then canceled their second wedding date, one year later, with the couple finally marrying at their initial venue, the Temple of Apollo at the National Trust Stourhead Gardens, on June 6, 2021 with a reception in At the Chapel in Bruton. “It rained in the morning,” the bride tells me, “and then we had beautiful sunshine for the ceremony.”
