Accessories and Dresses for Plus Sized Brides

It is hard enough to feel beautiful as a curvy woman, but it can be even more challenging as a bride. Imagine the frustration of going into a bridal salon only to be politely told that their largest sample dresses only go up to a size 14. This does a number on any bride’s self-esteem. 

Well ladies, I have some good news. Curves have always been in style, and my plus-sized brides show off how to do it to perfection. Whether you are a size 2 or a size 24, you deserve to feel like a queen on your wedding day. The real brides below inspired my fellow body-conscious women to fully embrace the beauty God gave them!

Star-Studded Celestial Goddess with Moon Starburst Tulle Bridal Cape 

From the top of her star adorned head to the tips of her Mary-Jane clad feet, this regal primadonna exudes magical mystery. The scattered metallic stars and moons throughout her V-neck dress and matching tulle cape add drama while wondrously floating as she walks.

Traditional Off-the-Shoulder Lace Elegance with Voluminous Puffy Bridal Veil

Take classic styling to another level with a traditional lace applique dress with layers of lightweight chiffon and tulle. The romantic off the shoulder sleeves frame her face with elegance while the additional height of a two tier veil balances out the fullness of her grand skirt and train.

Sleeping Beauty Bride in Blush Pink and Silk Tulle Drop Veil 

This princess-inspired beauty is effortlessly romantic and soft. Sumptuous silk detailing in her knee length veil glides against her skin like a dream while the creamy shades of ivory and soft pink in her dress and accessories enhance her peach-perfect complexion.

Glimmering Gilded Dress with a Pop of Wedding Veil Color

Every move this bride makes is accentuated with twinkles and sparkles. She is an enchanting breath of fresh air in her fully beaded gown. She gives a nod to her Harry Potter wedding theme with a splash of black at the bottom of her cathedral length bridal cape veil. 

Grecian Refinement with a Rustic Winery Wedding Twist

Combining the beauty of Grecian style draping with the natural rustic feel of the vineyard venue, this elegant bride combines both styles with refinement. From her A line dress that floats and skims to perfection, to her two layer drop cathedral veil that adds just a hint of covering, she is a glorious enchanter in her timeless bridal day look.

Boho Fringe Fantasy Dress with Soft Draped Chapel Length Wedding Veil

The movement of the playful fringe detailing on the shoulders and back of this boho chic masterpiece echoes the organic fluidity of a draped cape veil. It adds the perfect amount of arm coverage while letting just enough peak through for a sultry finish.

Rhinestone Vintage Glam Gown with Retro Sparkle Juliet Cap Bridal Veil

The allover beaded fitted bodice of this dress flows artfully into a surprisingly playful skirt with layers and layers of soft tulle for movement. The nod of sophisticated sparkle is continued in the epitome of vintage glamour: a vintage Juliet cap beaded veil that frames the bride’s face like a dream with glitzy beaded rhinestones. 

Hawaii Garden Stunner with Flower Lace Dress and Waist-Defining Elbow Length Veil

The organic florals of the Hawaiian garden are echoed with a floral allover lace dress and a lace edged veil that are natural enough for this tropical beach celebration. The short waist length veil elongates and defines this bride’s hourglass waist to perfection.
