A Proposal & A Mother’s Promise: Charlotte’s Story of Strength & Healing | Dream Dress Project Bride Spotlight

Three women smiling in a bridal shop. One holds a sign reading "I popped the champagne at Ivory & Main." Gowns hang in the background.

Charlotte’s story is not just about strength—it’s about the way love can magnify it. Through health struggles and the devastating loss of her mom, she has been a steady force for everyone around her. And in Dan, she’s found a partner who helps her lean into that same strength she’s always given to others.


When Dan first met Charlotte at Parsons School of Design in 2021, he was captivated by her artistry, her openness, and the unshakable spirit that lit up every room she entered. What started as a spark quickly grew into a steady flame. But behind her radiance is a woman who’s navigated profound challenges: personal health battles, the heartbreak of losing her mother, and the weight of showing up for others even when life felt heavy.


And still—Charlotte’s joy shines. She’s a passionate ceramic artist, a fiercely supportive partner, and, as Dan describes, “the strongest person I know.”


That strength is literally woven into the fabric of her engagement story. It was Charlotte’s idea to incorporate her late mother’s ashes into her engagement ring. If she couldn’t have her mom on her arm walking her down the aisle, she wanted her at least on her finger—forever by her side as she takes this next step. It’s a choice that speaks volumes about who Charlotte is: a woman who transforms loss into legacy and hardship into beauty.


At Ivory & Main, we talk a lot about how every bride walks through our doors carrying more than Pinterest boards and guest lists—she carries her whole story. The joy, the grief, the growth, and the love. Charlotte embodies that truth in the most powerful way, and it’s an honor to celebrate her as part of our Dream Dress Giveaway.


Because this moment—this dress, this aisle, this “I do”—isn’t just about fashion. It’s about a woman carrying her mother’s light forward, stepping into healing, and standing in triumph. And we cannot wait for you to meet her.
