Are you a bride-to-be? Your boo asked, and you love that special someone. So you said โYes!โ and now you are getting married!! Congratulations!!!
::throws virtual confetti at you::
Perhaps at this moment you are at some stage of the wedding planning process. From just getting a few bridal magazines and searching the web, to being a full-blown Bridezilla complete with color coordinated wedding planner. There are huge decisions involved. Sure the venue is important, the flowers have to be just right, and of course thereโs the whole DJ versus Live Band debate. But we all know what the most importantย decision you will make isโฆ The wedding dress, of course!
First Look: Christian Sirianoโs Spring 2018 Bridal Collection
And if you really want a dress that will stun your spouse when walking down the aisle, Christian Siriano just made your dreams come true with his second bridal collection: 12 dresses that represent every bride regardless of size. ย All of the dresses in the collection go up to a size 26, yโall! You read that rightโฆ A size 26. And even the campaign imagery is inclusive, with a curvy bride being prominently featured!ย This is huge and radical news in the fashion world, but for Christian himself, the choice was simple.
โI think it was just pretty easy, a no-brainer for us. It just made sense. I think itโs important that all the dresses, everything weโre offering, can come in any size. Thatโs an important thing. I think if we start to make it the norm, that these women exist, then things will change. Once people start to see it, it really helps others realize who these women are, and that they want nothing different than a woman who is a size 0.โ
Say it louder for the people in the back, Christian! Keep scrolling to get a closer look at the collection.

Christian makes it clear that designing a wedding gown that is attractive for a women sized 2 or 22 isnโt that daunting of an experience.
โI like to tell people that the process is different. Thereโs different challenges, but itโs not necessarily more difficult. The dresses in our collection, everythingโs the same. We just work on where the darts go, what the fabric is. I think about that a lot more in the beginning of the process, thinking of what kind of fabrics could work on anyone.โ
I applaud Christian Siriano for the strides he continually makes in creating a more inclusive and size-friendly portion of the fashion industry. His continued success is proof positive that itโs working!
What did you think of this Spring 2018 Bridal Collection?
If you plan on walking down the aisle next year, would you rock one of these gowns? Tell us all about it in the comment!
Where were these when I got married 2 years agoโฆ ugh!!
Thatโs what Iโm saying! My wedding was last year รฐยยยฉรฐยยยฉ
The struggle was so real to find a dress I could try on much less love!
Only one I donโt like is the jumpsuit.
In the UK thereโs some plus size bridal wear, nothing like this!
Now I need the right manโฆ..x
Thanks Christian for thinking about the plus sized woman.
I am stuck on having a dress that fits like one. Not going three sizes up because itโs a wedding dress. That way I get more bang for my buck and Iโm comfortable.
OMG that pantsuit is beautiful
No. 6 and no. 10 are beautiful.
Cassie Kayla now I just need one other thing รฐยยคยรฐยยย
Lol girl, SAME รฐยยยรฐยยย
Iโll marry you both
Not possible
Donโt rain on our parade
Iโm a little pissed now that Iโve been married for 20 years
Lol you can always renew your vows!
LOVE him!
I love itโฆChristian Siriano has always felt that plus sized women should feel included and he has stayed true to his word.
Iโm getting married to #myself #marrymyself I say!!!!
any shorter ones
Iโd love one of these gowns just because tbeyโre gorgeous and Iโm not getting married. Thanks Christian you totally get it.
That jumpsuit is fab!
I love the pantsuit
Too bad men are scumbags and I have no reason to get excited about marriage ever lmao!!!!! They are pretty dresses but not my style at all.
Funny to see him putting out plus sized fashion when he used to be so against anything more than a stick figure. Iโm so not complaining because heโs got some pretty items. It is just odd to see the changes.
I would have liked the models to be plus sized, promoting plus size dresses on slimmer woman isnโt the best idea โฆlove3,5,6,10!!
