Help!!

My first problem is my mom can not seem to find a nice MOB dress anywhere in her budget. She is a bigger woman and most stores only have sample sizes up to a 12, so she can't even try on things. We've been all over to totally you, 2 be seen, estelles, bridal reflections, macys, lord and taylor, bloomies.

Any Suggestions??

Second, I am having a hard time finding a budget florist who doesn't want to take only cash. I was planning on putting our florist on a card and pay it off later, but that doesn't seem to be an option. I am only getting personal flowers so I didn't think it would be so costly.

Help help help!!! I am going crazy with all this!!!

I know a lot of florists ask for cash because they use the cash to purchase the flowers for the day of.. you may be able to get away with using your card on smaller florist like in towns and stuff.. there is a good florist in my town (farmingdale) called 'In Full Bloom' they do great work see if they use credit cards.

My mom works at princess bridals in Farmingdale as well but I don't think you could get something not too expensive.. I would suggest going to stores trying tings on then trying to find them on the internet for a better price.

I have a size 16 wine colored MOB dress. ITs strapless satin with embellishments on it for $170. If interested, I can send a photo.

I'm surprised Estelles didn't have more of a Plus size selection, I feel like they have dresses of all sizes! I recommend Helen's Bridal, we went there for my Gown and both my Mom and MIL got distracted by all the beautiful MOB dresses there and there were even some size 20s.

I am going to have the same problem with my future MIL - she's VERY large on top and small on the bottom. And she hasn't started looking yet. But how do I bring it up to her without saying - it may take a long time to find a store taht carries your sizing!

Also, i booked with Pedestals and they let me put a bulk of the payment on the card. I just had to guarantee to pay the balance in cash.

There is a store, Queen of Hearts, that exclusively carries plus sizes. I'm not sure where it is located but you can probably google.
