THE TRUTH ABOUT WEDDING DRESS SHOPPING WHEN PLUS-SIZED

Wedding dress shopping should be a joyous occasion for any bride-to-be. From sifting through Pinterest boards to flipping the pages of bridal magazines and eventually combing the racks of gowns culminating with a champagne toast to say “yes!” to the dress. The truth is, things are a lot more stressful when you are plus-sized wedding dress shopping.  I really had a difficult time (at a size 14) finding the right dress for my body and the experience was not magical.

What did I learn?

1.The wedding industry is slow at making strides towards inclusivity.

2. I’m on a mission to help other plus-sized brides navigate the process with ease through my bridal styling services.

THE BIG NEWS

I shared my experience on 11 Honoré new online magazine, Page 11.Read the full article here.

Please let me know your thoughts as I would love to continue sharing important stories of size-inclusive style.

Oh, enjoy my wedding pics too!

With Gratitude,
