S*cks being a plus sized bride :(

though you girls are always so incredibly helpful, you are all so darn thin! ha ha!

i have all these questions that i can't pose to all ya'll skinny chicks. i swear, if i had the money and the design talent, i'd start a 'plus sized bride' web site. they have sites for 'chocolate brides' and 'indie rock brides' and everything else you can think of....

hmm, i should talk to FH about brushing up on his dreamweaver skills... here's the deal...

i'm having shoe issues, wide feet. i don't think the wides on zappos are even going to fit. i want to talk to a real bride who has a wide foot and see what she suggests.

flattering hair styles? i have actually googled 'chubby bridal hair' and other words like 'bbw brides' and then just sneak around people's online photo albums hoping to stumble on a fellow chubber and see how she styled her hair.

bras? here's the issue, when you have a big tummy the number of your bra size goes out the window because you can't close the clasp on the long line past the boobage, need bra help. can my seamstress just sew in a regular bra since my dress is strapless.

bridal panties - the cute blue and white type or rhinestone ones - sure victoria's secret has great stuff, but not for the big gals.

all these chubby questions, nobody to answer them. ha ha.

I thought I was going to die from the heat during my last fitting w/ the crinolin and dress on...all those layers. I have resolved that no mater what fh loves me and all of your fh's love you too just the way you are. We will all be beautiful brides - chubb rub, rolls, etc just enjoy your day and smile.

Hugs to all and Ally thanks for posting this !!!

You are too sweet, I'm going to sneak into your album shortly. I'm actually a 44ddd, gasp, I had ordered something from like FreshPair or some undies web site, it didn't fit, I sent it back. I recently ordered a basic strapless bra from them and a panty that goes from tummy to thigh - so hopefully that will work. we'll see.

thanks so much! LB used to have cute bridal panties, oh now that it's june, i should check again, maybe they only do it in the summer!

Please don't fele bad - there are plenty of plus size gals right here on these pages. I am one of them Ok sure I am the only one who can lose the weight and I have done it before but here and now I am a big girl. Look up my post from Thursday -re: thank you LIWedding- pic of Kim from client services & me - you'll see) or my website here.

My wedding is not until 9/27 but I'll share pics. big arms ...and I am wearing a halter neckline -

go to davids bridal and try on the wide sizes - payless even has a dyeables line and they carry wide widths. Buy them now and break them in. I have been wearing my shoes at work and home - no matter what size I think most of us(brides) are breaking in our shoes.

Once you are a C cup or better stay away from cups sewn in they don't hold up well. Get a good strapless bra- not a bustier or long line bra. Lane Bryant has them but check Macys and if you want to spend $$$ Mary corsetier in woodbury ..I think. they'll special order. FM me anytime you want !!!

i definatly say try blums in patchogue too...i am a 38 DDD and i wore a long line bra and lemme tell u i have me some belly pudge! and my long line still fit and held up bettter then any other strapless i had ever worn. i even found that it helped that bit of chunk i have on the back of my arns (armpit fat as i call it!) look flatter by not pushing up so much i wore spanx under as well and that helped control the pudge that woulda been under the long line and ur reg undies...just some thoughts hope this helped!!

I found Spanx in my size a few weeks ago at Lane Bryant. I thought they stopped at a certain size and they don't! Woo hoo. I will still look into the bra shops you guys mentioned. I also got awesome shoes from Sandy's - they are so comfy!

Go to Blum's In Patchogue for a Bra. I got mine there. They are awesome and have everything! Good luck and let me know if you need help with anything. Being a plus size bride isn't as bad as you think :)

I am sorry you are frustrated
For shoes to accomodate wide feet try 'Something Bleu' or Cynthia Rowley's Trilogy shoe. My BM is a ballerina and from dancing 'en pointe' or whatever has really really wide feet and these fit her quite well.

Ohhhh boy!!! well I have dropped a few pounds since last time I posted on here.. but not to much of a change in my body. I think it is all a matter of perspective. You have to think about it like this- your FH loves your right here and right now. Unless you are planning to attach a real dump truck to your booty... he knows what he is in love with. A curvy sexy bride to be!!!

Re: S*cks being a plus sized bride :(

hey, any of you ladies not getting a bride/groom cake topper because you don't want a skinny b*tch on top of YOUR cake? Thats my reasoning! I can't find a chubby bride cake topper!
