Need a little inspiration? We are kicking off Plus Size Bridal Week with a spotlight on YOU, the plus size brides who took our breath away and stunned on their big day!
First Look: Christian Siriano’s Spring 2018 Bridal Collection & Includes PLUS SIZES!
Are you a bride-to-be? Your boo asked, and you love that special someone. So you said “Yes!” 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 there’s the whole DJ versus Live Band debate. But we all know what the most important decision you will make is… The wedding dress, of course!
First Look: Christian Siriano’s 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. All of the dresses in the collection go up to a size 26, y’all! You read that right… A size 26. And even the campaign imagery is inclusive, with a curvy bride being prominently featured! This is huge and radical news in the fashion world, but for Christian himself, the choice was simple.
“I think it was just pretty easy, a no-brainer for us. It just made sense. I think it’s important that all the dresses, everything we’re offering, can come in any size. That’s 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.”
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 isn’t that daunting of an experience.
“I like to tell people that the process is different. There’s different challenges, but it’s not necessarily more difficult. The dresses in our collection, everything’s 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.”
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 it’s 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 ago… ugh!!
That’s what I’m saying! My wedding was last year ð©ð©
The struggle was so real to find a dress I could try on much less love!
Only one I don’t like is the jumpsuit.
In the UK there’s some plus size bridal wear, nothing like this!
Now I need the right man…..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 it’s a wedding dress. That way I get more bang for my buck and I’m comfortable.
OMG that pantsuit is beautiful
No. 6 and no. 10 are beautiful.
Cassie Kayla now I just need one other thing ð¤ð
Lol girl, SAME ðð
I’ll marry you both
Not possible
Don’t rain on our parade
I’m a little pissed now that I’ve been married for 20 years
Lol you can always renew your vows!
LOVE him!
I love it…Christian Siriano has always felt that plus sized women should feel included and he has stayed true to his word.
I’m getting married to #myself #marrymyself I say!!!!
any shorter ones
I’d love one of these gowns just because tbey’re gorgeous and I’m 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. I’m so not complaining because he’s 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 isn’t the best idea …love3,5,6,10!!
