The heart of Nodskov’s mission lies in providing brides with a body-positive bridal experience. She refuses to perpetuate harmful ideas about body image which are common in the wedding industry. Instead, Nodskov focuses on making brides feel beautiful and confident in their own skin, regardless of their size. “I hate that I even have to call it that—a body-positive bridal experience—or that it needs to exist,” Nodskov says with frustration. “I wish the bridal industry itself was more inclusive, accepting, and open.” Learn more about Hannah Caroline Couture by tapping here: https://zurl.co/Jo5D
