The first step in finding the ideal wedding dress is to embrace your body shape. Every person has a different figure, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach to wedding dress shopping! We always encourage our brides to approach wedding dress shopping with a few key factors in mind, such as what body parts they’d like to show off and perhaps anything they might want to conceal a little bit. Our experts are ready and willing to put in the work to find you a gown that makes you feel like the queen you are!

The silhouette of a wedding dress is one of the most important aspects of finding “the one!” Plus-size brides have a range of options to choose from, such as A-line, ball gown, mermaid, empire waist, and more. A-line dresses are universally flattering and help create an elegant and balanced look. Ball gowns add drama and highlight the waistline, while mermaid dresses embrace curves with grace and a little sex appeal. Try on different silhouettes to see which one makes you feel the most beautiful!

Selecting the right fabric and fit is essential for all brides. Lightweight fabrics like chiffon, tulle, and organza can create a beautiful flow and drape. Structured fabrics like satin and taffeta can provide support and shape. The fit is equally important, so consider tailoring the dress to your exact measurements to ensure a flawless look and comfortable feel.

Details can make a significant difference in your wedding dress. Embroidery, beading, lace appliqués, and other embellishments can draw attention to specific areas or add visual interest to the gown. Opt for designs that accentuate your best features and guide the eye where you want it to go.
The neckline and sleeve options can greatly influence your overall appearance. V-necklines elongate the neck and flatter the bust, while sweetheart necklines highlight the décolletage. Sleeves, whether short, long, or three-quarter length, can offer added coverage and elegance. Experiment with different necklines and sleeve styles to see which suits you best!

On your wedding day, you want to feel comfortable and at ease. Ensure that the dress you choose allows for ease of movement and doesn't constrict or cause discomfort. If you plan to dance the night away, consider a dress that enables you to do so with confidence and joy!
With the right dress and a dash of self-assurance, plus-size brides can confidently walk down the aisle and begin their journey into a lifetime of love and happiness!
