- I got married, eeekkk! 🥹 I started filming this in October 2022, documenting the journey and experience to getting my Wedding Dress for February 2024. We eloped on a Cruise Ship off the coast of Australia and had the most incredible day. It was an amazing experience getting the dress in the UK, and I loved having the chance to alter it and create the perfect dress for me. I hope you enjoy seeing how it all came about! Big thank you to Sophie and Chameleon Bride for being so supportive and kind. I'll cherish this experience and dress forever xx

Eeekkk, I can’t believe I’m finally able to share this video with you! Getting my Wedding Dress was such an exciting and special experience, and I loved bringing you along. I hope you enjoy seeing why and how I picked my dress. Thank you again for all your lovely messages! If you haven’t seen it, here’s the montage from our Wedding Day 👉czcams.com/video/3mSWeCcK0ZU/video.html Big love, Brogan xx
Ps. Australia Vlog (part 1 from Sydney!) coming on Saturday morning if all goes to plan 🇦🇺❤
I've just had to pause the video to say, the first dress I tried on made me cry. It was so beautiful and I actually looked beautiful, something I thought I'd never say about myself. Like you I didn't see myself that way at all. I tried on more dresses and went to 2 other shops but nothing compared to that first one and the others didn't give me that feeling. I wished I just stopped at the first one because there was nothing out there for me that was better. Your dress was so perfectly you and you looked absolutely stunning.❤
I cried watching you look so happy and beautiful! Congratulations!
Ohhh Brogan. Both my sisters ended up with the first dress they tried. Having watched your wedding day I knew you looked amazing but you looked absolutely stunning in your dress from moment 1. Though what struck me was the joy you radiated. You were positively giddy with happiness and Benji looked like the cat that got the cream. Seeing your mum and brother made me emotional too. Congratulations again to you and your hubby. Xx Amanda xx
Wow ! I have found THE dress first attempt is almost unheard of - but it was the dress -
"When you don't really like yourself..." So many women feel this. Thank you feel leaving in that very real moment. You look beautiful! Congratulations!
I couldn't agree more!!! BROGAN, You brought tears to my eyes. Thank you!
I cried when she said that, felt it so deeply!
Yes ❤❤❤. We all feel like this. Me included. The dress is beautiful Brogan and you are a stunning Bride. Lots of love and happiness ❤
I had the exact same thoughts trying on my dress, I cried too feeling the same emotions as you.
Oh Brogan I cried with you when you tried on the dress! You couldn't have chosen a more beautiful dress! you were too beautiful!! congratulations to both of you! They are a beautiful couple!!
When I got married I had an idea of what dress style I wanted. The assistant said " can you try this one on for size " (it was nothing like the one I had in mind). I loved it , it really suited me. She smiled and said " I knew as soon as I saw you what you'd suit " she was definitely good at her job.
Brogan, you are amazing! So many women can relate to not always liking the body that looms back at us in the mirror and being uncomfortable in dresses that don't fit properly. Thank you for sharing that and being so brave to take us with you on a very personal search. You are gorgeous and this dress brought out the best in you physically and mentally. You were glowing! Wishing you and Benji all the best together!
The dress is perfection & you looked amazing Mrs. Lever. ❤🎉
Just stunning. The adjustments you made made that dress absolutely yours. The sleeves are gorgeous, I love how floaty they are and it really finished off for a beautiful silhouette.
I think the colour not only matched your skin tone but also the cruise ship and setting, much softer and prettier.
Perfection
You looked so beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us. Such an incredible dress ❤
Thank you so much!! xx
Oooo I cried while watching this.
I got married January 2023, as a curvy girl myself, I went down the route of a custom made dress as I wanted a black and white dress, and I totally agree, when you try on a dress it's about how it makes you feel. If you feel beautiful, confident and comfortable then that's the dress for you.
Sooo love your dress as its such a you dress. You look amazing and beautiful in it.
Xx
I had to rewind this video back to when you tried on The dress to cry with you because it’s so perfect! When you said that you didn’t really like your body, it got me choked up because it’s so hard to feel beautiful sometimes when you feel like that. But you looked glowing and gorgeous and it was such a perfect choice 💗
Broke my heart when you said you don't really like yourself. You made the most beautiful bride Brogan🩷
The dress looked amazing. It gave your body shape and looked like it fitted like a glove!. Was really nice to see your mums reaction too.
My dress shopping took about 2 hours and we went to one shop. I’d just had a baby and wasn’t really into it. My mom chose the dress, I didn’t even look at any (post natal depression for you) and it was beautiful and perfect for me, sometimes it takes someone who knows you and sees you in their eyes to pick what’s perfect when you’re not seeing it yourself.
Your wedding series has me feeling all the feels. When you cry when you try in a dress, it’s meant to be yours. I’m glad you followed your heart’s instinct on the very first dress you tried ion ❤️
Oh brogan, you getting teary eyed at the end made me go all watery eyed too! 🥹 sooooo happy for you ❤ beautiful bride ❤
Your dress was perfection and adding the sleeves made it even more ethereal and romantic. I hated wedding dress shopping bec I had the same insecurities and just felt miserable. I bought a beautiful off white dress with blush accents without ever trying it on. I saw the picture and loved it. Thankfully it worked out lol!! I think it’s so great how Benji was part of the process and even made comments and suggestions. You two are so perfect for one another. Congratulations!
What a wonderful vlog and experience, this moment will be treasured forever xx
Your dress looks absolutely stunning and you definitely made the right choice with the alterations 😍 Thanks for sharing the experience with us.
The dress is even more beautiful up close. Thanks you for making this video to share with us. When the curtain was pulled back on the first dress you looked radiant. Just perfect. Adding the flutter sleeves and additional appliqué made it even special. You are a beautiful bride Mrs Lever 😊
Your dress is amazing and you looked fantastic on your wedding day! Congratulations again mrs lever 🎉👰🏻♀️
Such a special moment! I have always just loved your relationship with your mum and hearing her comments made me laugh sometimes!! You can tell you are both so alike. The dress is beautiful and was the perfect one for your special day! Gorgeous ❤
This was an absolute joy to watch ❤ Congratulations Mrs Lever xxx
Beautiful Brogan, thank you so much for sharing you journey. xx
You Glow Brogan!!! The first dress and WOW… you lucky lucky girl !!! The added detail makes you stunning…
Oooooh so excited to watch this and hear how you found your beautiful dress 🤍🤍 It was stunning on you and you looked absolutely amazing sweetheart! xxxx
Aww yay, hope you enjoy the vlog! Thank you so much! xx
As someone who has been married almost 44 years; I was 20! I have so much respect for you both. In my experience, one of the things that can cause the most difficulties in a marriage is trying to fit yourselves into a "marriage category." Thinking that you have to do things a certain way because you are now engaged or married. I have seen many marriages fail because the couple were trying to do things the way their parents or friends had done. Your marriage should be unique. You and Benji are doing that and I think it's wonderful. I wish you both a lifetime of health and happiness.
Best wedding video I’ve seen! Loved the app at the beginning and then straight to the point xxx
Oh Brogan thank you for sharing this with us. Seeing you try on the dress and feeling beautiful really shone through. Absolutely stunning dress and I’m glad you felt like a princess xxx
I've loved this video so much! I got so emotional with you ~ it's so good that you've not tried to force yourself into not being you and losing weight that you don't need to lose. You look absolutely beautiful ❤
You looked perfect! Thanks for sharing it with us. You're really a role model for me and seeing you this happy and confident in the dress makes me so happy! Have the best time on the ship and enjoy your time as newlyweds! Hugs and love from Belgium 🥰
You show so much strength in your vulnerability. I’m so happy for you that the search process was so easy and intimate with your Mom & Benji. Beautiful on so many levels!
This dress is just so perfect for you and I love the little added extras - they make the dress uniquely yours ❤ We’ve just been through a similar experience with my best friend who is getting married at the end of 2024 and as soon as she tried on her dress we all knew - Benji was an absolute rock as well through this, loved how he was able to give his opinions and be such an integral part of the process 🥰 #couplegoals
What an amazing process. The dress is absolutely stunning. The extra details you added were so you x
Aw Brogan, you looked absolutely stunning- the perfect dress. You are beautiful inside and out and it’s been a joy to watch you both prepare for your wedding. I love that you have placed place more value on celebrating your marriage as opposed to being focused on just the wedding. Wishing you both every happiness xxx
I love watching how happy you are in this video - pure joy ❤
I’m so happy for you that you got to experience this with the people you love, especially your mom ❤
Many don’t have that opportunity for various reasons but your mom was fantastic. She advocated for you and listened to your needs and wants. She knew like you which one was the one and so did Benji.
So happy for you ❤
Loved this vlog ❤ seeing you trying on wedding dresses made me tear up 🥺 so happy for you and benji ❤
Thank you!! xx
Congratulations!! So amazing to see the dress journey come together - you look absolutely beautiful!
What a lovely video. Thank you for sharing as it was a very personal one. You looked stunning. Congratulations xx
Thank you so much for taking us along with you on this journey. Your dress is absolutely beautiful
I found this so relatable. I found my dress after my first bridal shop visit, it was the 3 dress try on. I left it a few days, but found myself not wanting to look for anything else. Therefore I knew it was the one. I also felt the same about my body, but accepted that no matter how I feel about my body the right dress will make you feel amazing. Thanks for sharing your experience 🥰 Congratulations Mr and Mrs Lever
My wedding dress shopping journey was over so quickly like yours brogan, went to one shop, tried on 5 dresses, found the one instantly and nearly 2 years later I’ve never regretted my choice🥰 you know in your heart when you’ve found the one!❤️ absolutely loved this video☺️ x
What a beautiful dress! You looked so beautiful and happy on your wedding day…..congratulations to you both❤
You are so beautiful!!! The dress is perfect . It’s all about self perspective. You radiate beauty and have the best smile.
In tears, just beautiful. Stunning, elegance and sophisticated and exactly the way you wanted. Congratulations to you both xx
Beautiful, I'm glad you had a positive experience and I love that you knew exactly what you wanted in a wedding dress. As someone who also struggles with body confidence, I didn't have a clue what I wanted just tried on a load of dresses I thought would suit my body shape and really surprised myself because the dress I went for was the opposite of what I thought I would have wanted. It was an experience x
Wow to see you adding the details to the dress was so cool and beautiful. The dress is definitely a you dress and you can see the confidence radiating! 💕
Who shed happy tears when you tried the dresses on , your smile when you were wearing the ONE !!! and how lovely your Mum bought it for you 🥲🥲 I lost my mum 8 years ago so kind of hit home I won't be able to do this with her , but thank you for letting me watching your experience of being a bride to be and you will look stunning xx
You are so beautiful! The dress is perfect for you! 💕
Finding your dress brought back all the emotions when I found mine, I cried too xx I understand the imposter syndrome as I was a plus sized bride too. Finding a boutique that treat you as an individual and listens to what you actually want helps to relax you xx Thank you for sharing a wonderful day and you are a beautiful person inside and out xx
Absolutely stunning Brogan! Perfect dress for you x
Stunning as always Brogan and knew it was defo the one as soon as the tears came! thank you for sharing! Love the sleeve addition you made it made the dress even better in my opinion ( I love a sleeve!). As I've said before you are a big fashion inspiration for me so thank you!
I am BEAMING watching this. You are the most beautiful bride and it is such a joy to watch you feel so confident and happy in your dress. You deserve to feel like an absolute goddess and it really looks like you feel like one. I am SO pleased for you and so proud of you for overcoming all of the pressures of being a bride and the upcoming wedding day.
As a curvy lady I feeeel you on the stress about your body and the nerves of trying on dresses and worrying about not feeling good enough in the moment. It’s so easy to feel exposed in those moments so I am so glad you felt comfortable and safe in that environment. You deserve to enjoy every moment of this experience ❤
I also found my dress in the first boutique I visited, with 3 further places booked and ready to go! I have really struggled with wavering feelings about my dress and worrying that I’ve not found as good a dress as I could, but I totally agree with you - when you know, you know and there’s never a formally definitive answer anyway. It’s like any aspect of a wedding - especially venues! - there will always be more options and things may look perfect on paper.. but nothing will ever match those feels you felt, so you have to learn to trust your gut!
So unbelievably happy for you, you’re a wife!!!!!! 😍🥳💗 Congratulations on your next chapter Mr & Mrs Lever, here’s to forever!!!! Xxx
I find myself tearing up every time I watch one of your wedding related videos! 🥹 You and Benji have such an amazing relationship, and it is such a joy to see you overcome any self-doubt because you are such an amazing young woman! ❤
Oh Brogan, you looked absolutely stunning! This dress suited you perfectly. Thank you for sharing this special dress journey with us all. My wedding dress was also the very first one I tried on. I did try others on in the same bridal boutique, but didn't visit any other boutiques. When you know, you know! Congratulations again to you and Benji. You are a beautiful couple - both inside and out. You are just made for each other ❤ #couplegoals xx
You look beautiful Brogan, the dress is so pretty and perfect for you 💕
It's the most beautiful, perfect wedding dress I've ever seen! Congratulations to you both!
Awh Brogan! This was wonderful. You visited your dress shop a few weeks before me and you kindly sent me some lovely tips about what to expect. Like you, I found my dress at the only shop that I visited, and I wouldn’t have changed this for the world, as visiting multiple shops would have been my worst nightmare. I resonated so much with your experience in front of the mirror and had a very similar conversation with my bridal stylist about ‘’not liking myself” but it’s incredible just how much those feelings went away when I found my dress! Congratulations to you and Benji, you both looked fabulous! X
What a special and beautiful video. I felt like I was wedding dress shopping with you. When you looked at yourself and cried it took me back because I felt exactly the same. I've not loved myself for such a long time and in that moment I actually felt really pretty. The dress had your name all over it and you looked stunning x
Our experiences were pretty much identical! I picked out some madi lane dresses, went to try them on (Elora had been my fave) and bought the first one I tried on which was Elora! Seeing you feel confident in yours and that surprise of actually liking what you’ve seen on Pinterest on your own body was exactly how I felt. You looked absolutely beautiful on your wedding day and you made the perfect choice! ❤️
That is sooo lovely to read, Madi Lane is such an amazing, comfortable brand. Love the Elora!! Thank you so much Hannah xx
You looked so beautiful 🫶 congratulations guys! Xxx
absolutely LOVE the sleeves and alterations you added! it’s so beautiful and so YOU! ❤
Stunning! You definitely picked the right dress its beautiful & you looked radiant & beautiful too❤ xxx
I’ve been binging on your videos and can only say WOW!!! You are beautiful and when you said “When you don’t really like yourself” you brought tears to my eyes. You are a talented, powerful woman with so much to give. Besides, you have a “Prince” by your side. Congratulations on your love story, on your marriage and on giving yourself grace with being the best you are. Because you truly are the best. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness. [Greetings from Orlando, Florida]
You in that dress!! ....wow!!! The most beautiful wedding dress I've ever seen! 🎉 You look absolutely stunning!!! 👰💍🍾🥂💖✨
I cried when you cried! You could tell straight away that was your dress! Thank you for sharing that experience it was an emotional roller coaster as a viewer!❤
What a great video. I totally had the same feelings when I found my dress, you think hang on is that it! All that hype and you find it straight away!. I love your mum "nope' haha. Thank you so much for sharing so much of your special day with us. xx
I cried when you said yes! It’s so so gorgeous to see you so happy! 🥲 and you look absolutely beautiful ♥️
Aw I’m so happy for you Brogan! You look incredible in the dress- it suits you so much and deffo was the right choice!❤
WOW!!! So happy for you!
Beautiful 😍 Brought back memories of when I was trying to find my wedding dress. I went to lots of shops and tried on lots and lots of dresses before finding “the one” so I think you definitely made the right choice. It is an amazing dress and suited you perfectly. Congratulations!
This dress is perfect for you. You are a beautiful bride. The wedding clips were beautiful. You both looked wonderful!
Loved this and the dress is perfect ❤
Aww Brogan, I loved that the whole experience was shared with the people closest to you. You looked stunning on your wedding day, there is nothing for you not to love and I think Benji would agree ❤
I am totally sobbing watching this a work. What an amazing experience for you and a beautiful dress! I am so happy for you. You look stunning.
This was such a fun video to watch!!! 😍😍😍 It is a gorgeous dress!!! I, as well as my daughters, found our wedding dresses pretty quickly (although I don't think they were the FIRST ones any of us tried on! 😊). Thank for taking us along for this journey!!! Continued love and health to you and Benji from across the pond!!! 💜💜💜
Absolutely Beautiful! ❤
It was the same for my daughter 😊1st dress tried was the one xxxx
Stunning Brogen and well done Benji for all the love and support xxxx
Brogan this was such a fun video. I'm so happy that your mom, Benji,, and your brother got to experience it with you. The dress is so beautiful you looked like a princess. :)
Thanks for sharing - I got the first dress I tried on xx
Just so lovely .... and it was even more lovely on the day! 😍 😊🥰
I am so glad you spoke about the weird feeling after your appointment. I also chose the 1st dress I tried on and although I am very happy with my choice, I also felt weird after my appointment and that I had my experience cut short ❤
This dress was amazing and looked perfect on you! I had the same thing happen where I found my dress at the first appointment and felt like I was missing out on the experience dress shopping, but just like finding the right partner, when you know it is right, it is right 🥰. So happy you found your one!
Such a perfect dress, it is beautiful! 😍 You look stunning x X
Loved this video Brogan, makes me so excited to start my dress shopping in August 😁 some of the dresses you tried are on my wishlist… including Harper 🙊👀
You looked absolutely stunning!! Such a special video 🥰
Brogan such a special moment for you all ❤ I cried watching this thank you for sharing this with us xxx
So beautiful Brogan 😍🥰 the most amazing dress!! Xxx
You absolutely got it right in the end! You looked amazing !! The sleeves were so pretty.❤️
aw this was so beautiful to share with us. The dress is so perfect, looked wonderful on you. Also your brother video-ing for you in the bridal shop was so cute. xxx
Loved this so much. Can totally relate with the experience I had. I'm similar size to you and felt like I would have to have a certain shape dress so I was picking wrong. Luckily, I gave in to my stubborn side and let the woman in the shop pick one for me to try on..
Needless to say I ended up saying yes to the dress at the one she picked and a dress I never thought I could pick. It truly is a special moment when you know you've found the one. Your wedding was beautiful you looked so elegant and happy :) the dress was perfect for you. Congratulations again. X
Love your dress!! Stunning!! I had exactly the same experience, bought the first dress I tried on. One bridal shop, tried 3 or 4 others on but returned to the first ❤
I've been looking forward to this video! And it didn't disappoint ❤️ you look absolutely beautiful Brogan. (And so does benj at the end 😂) X
I cried watching this!! So strange to feel a connection to someone on CZcams you’ve never met but feel so proud of them like they’re your bestie haha! Congratulations, the dress was out of this world and you two are just perfect! Loved the bit at the end where Benji tried it on haha! Xx
Ahhhh that was so wonderful!! 😍 I'm so glad you had such a good experience! I had a similar, yet very different experience with my dress haha! I got engaged in the height of COVID, so instead of going into dress shops I was incredibly lucky to find a store in my area that delievered dresses to homes to try on! Our first appointment was a zoom meeting where I picked the dresses I wanted to try (they brought me 4 different dresses), I tried them on in my mom's apartment with my bridesmaids over Zoom, and we found the one right away! My dress was kind of similar to yours actually haha, but more princess poofy 😂💖 Sometimes I wish I got to have the more "normal" experience, but at the same time it was so unique and special, and it was amazing how you just know when you put the right one on 💖 so happy for you and Benji, hope you're having an amazing time on the cruise! 💕
Hi Brogan! 🌸 stunning! Just stunning. You look so comfortable as well. It was made for you. 🥰🌸💕💗🍾🍾 loved seeing the wedding day as well. Thank you for sharing these wonderful moments. Take care 🌸
Wow Brogan, how gorgeous to see this vlog. You looked stunning. Xx
Congratulations!! ❤️ You looked gorgeous on your wedding day!
I absolutely love Chameleon, they were brilliant for my bridal appt and my mum's MOB too.
Thank you so much!! I love that, they have an amazing reputation and rightly so, I loved getting my dress from them xx
Thank you for sharing this!! As a plus size 2024 bride, finding a dress was something a truly dreaded. I found the most wonderful bridal boutique that made the process so fun and I found my perfect dress! I also ended up adding sleeves and customizing my dress too. You only do it once 🥰 Congrats again!
You look stunning in your dress. Thanks for bringing us along on the journey.
I've been married 19 years in June and my dress experience definitely did not run as smoothly as yours.
I ended up with 2 wedding dresses because the bridal shop got the colour and sizing wrong on my first choice of dress and made us pay for the dress regardless.
Second dress was perfect and the dress i wore on our day. Xx
