ย Hey, curvy besties! Letโ€™s talk styling tips for plus size brides. As we know, the wedding industry isnโ€™t the most inclusive. Itโ€™s been a slow climb for change, leaving many plus size brides feeling alone when shopping for their dream wedding dress. Unfortunately, not all boutiques carry plus size dresses, meaning you have to use your imagination to get the picture-perfect moment you want when you try on your dress.

The Anxiety of Finding the Perfect Dress

Every plus size bride dreams of finding โ€œthe dress,โ€ but the journey to that moment can be stressful, especially in an Ozempic world. Walking into a bridal boutique can sometimes feel intimidating when most of the samples are far from your size. The fear of not finding a dress that fits your body or makes you feel like the bride of all brides can dampen the excitement of wedding planning.

It doesnโ€™t feel like bridal brands are doing their part to push for size inclusivity beyond mid-sizes. According to The Knot, out of 35 fashion events during the NY Bridal Fashion Week earlier this year, they only witnessed ONE curvy model. Let that number sink inโ€”one curvy model. Do you see why plus size brides are frustrated? So, what if that one brand that featured a plus size option isnโ€™t in a brideโ€™s area? And I am not tipping my hats off to the brand that had the one curvy model; we donโ€™t accept crumbs.

Luckily, you know TCF is solution-oriented! Thereโ€™s a stunning dress out there for everyone, and with the right mindset and a little preparation, youโ€™ll find the perfect one. From finding a dress that makes you feel like the queen you are to choosing the right accessories, weโ€™ve got you covered with the best tips for plus size brides.

Here are four styling tips for plus size brides to remember when purchasing their wedding dress.

Your Body Is PERFECT

Before you go wedding dress shopping, understand your body is perfect just as it is. Encouraging anyone to take up bad eating habits of not eating or go to drastic measures with extreme dieting for the โ€œperfect dressโ€ is not OK ever. If you want to make changes, thatโ€™s fine. But everything needs to be done in healthy moderation. Please do not let a world that promotes diet culture make you feel less than.

Do Your Research

Not all bridal boutiques are the same, nor will they carry bigger sizes. Do as much research as possible to find one that would best cater to your needs. Find the nearest plus size bridal boutique where you can shop, and if itโ€™s not in your area and youโ€™re up for traveling, make a trip out of it.

Listen, I know we love our family and friends, but sometimes they canโ€™t be in the room with us when looking for our wedding dress. Friends and family (heavy on family) might mean well, but sometimes, their presence can be counterproductive to the goal, especially if they make comments like โ€œDiet before your dayโ€ or โ€œWe want her to look smaller.โ€

Think About You
