Wedding Dress Tips for Plus Sized Brides

A lot of girls in this judgmental society face a lot of harsh opinions of people who like to give them for free. When it especially comes to weddings, everyone expects a plus sized girl to lose weight and get all slim for her wedding, so that she may look ‘beautiful’ in the bridal clothes. The truth, however, is that beauty is not defined by what size you are. A plus-sized bride does not have limited options, but like a slim bride, she just needs to plan the attire smartly to make sure she gets the dress she has dreamt of. Here are a few tips that you can follow if you’re a plus-sized bride:

We have often seen plus-sized brides go for dark colours for their dress, but we are glad to tell you that your options are not limited. Go for pastel shades that include peach, while blue pink and red are also a popular choice. Try to avoid silver, white and green. A monotone outfit is a good option as well.

Georgette and chiffon are your saviors! They are very flowy and light which means easy to carry as well. A stiff fabric will make you look heavy which also means no velvet or raw silk.

A nude blouse and a bright bottom will give a slimmer look. Another added tip here that would benefit you is to not wear a padded blouse as it gives a stiffer and heavier look.

A long shirt or a blouse gives the perfect fitting paired with three quarter sleeves. Peplum goes great for this so choose wisely!

Vertical designs give a slim and tall illusion which works well for the plus-sized bride. Design your shirt or lehnga with vertical designs instead of horizontal and add a thick border at the bottom.

Large motifs make one look heavy so a plus-sized bride should choose designs that are very medium in size.

Heavy print work looks very odd and gives a heavier look. So keep it elegant and simple and go for the less is more approach!

Your dupatta can make or break the look so set it very wisely. The current dupatta trends work well with the plus-sized brides. You can check them out here.

It’s your big day. Do not pay heed to people talking trash around you. Go shopping, follow these tips and buy the dress that you fall in love with. Happy wedding!
