“Going to the chapel and we’re…going to
married!”

Having a huge wedding bash is not always the ideal setting
for some brides. Small and intimate occasion with a few friends and family or
even just the two of you can be just as romantic.
Elopements are on the rise for a number of reasons, but at
the end of the day; you still want to feel and look like a bride!

Wedding dress shopping can be one of the more stressful parts of wedding planning. However, if you are a curvier, full figured bride, a day of fun dress shopping can be even more of a challenge. Wedding dresses tend to be cut small, so often times when the max size of some boutiques is an 18; it’s really a 16! And we all know how critical those extra 2 inches at any size can be.

The most important thing to remember when shopping is
choosing the right fit. That
actually applies to any shopping trip!

What I love about
elopement dresses is that they do not have to fit the mold of an ordinary
wedding dress. They can match your destination, be short and sweet, vintage of
mode. The best part is unlike a traditional wedding dress; you can wear it
again depending on the style!
Intimate weddings allow you to be more relaxed, surrounded
by those you know and love, so you can focus on what’s important…Getting
married of course!
Here are a few more of my
favorites available in sizes up to 24.
Ugh the bridal sizing drives me (and other brides) crazy! It is beyond me why they can't just use 'street' sizes, I am loving that two piece though, it's gorgeous!!
ReplyDeletelol @ "street sizes", but I agree! If bridal sizing was the same as every day wear, shopping in store as well as online would be so much easier1
DeleteThese are good tips. I love the stylish dresses you've suggested. I'm a big fan of vintage and the Kiyonna dress is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you liked them! Every time I do a bridal posting, I get to shop vicariously through each post! I love vintage styles too. My wedding was an Art Deco theme!
DeleteIntimate weddings are one of my faves, and so agree that this is where you can really have fun with your attire, and you can also look like a "bride" if you want to for your special day. I love that first lace dress picture, and a big fan of Kiyonna's!
ReplyDeleteMy party planner knew well how to manage and juggle all the vendors and even helped me book them at a discount by combining their services (i.e. the decor rental company gave us a discount for using their DJ).
