Finding the right store?

Taylor, on November 16, 2016 at 16:27 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 12

Hello!

I'm hoping to start trying some dresses on soon! I would be considered a plus size bride - which makes the experience kinda scary to me. I know sample sizes are typically small so I was wondering if anyone knew and stores that focuses on plus sized brides? I know Bella Mia in Hamilton does; anyone else have any suggestions? I'm from Oakville but am willing to make the drive to a nice store!

    Paloma Blanca and Mikaella Bridal are Canadian , and they will customize a gown, as long as they have the pattern for the top and bottom. So if you like the top of one dress in the collection and the bottom of another they can do that for you.
    I may have to go that route myself. I find the pics on their site don't do the gowns justice really! I've tried on a few of their gowns and they are amazing on!
    Otherwise you might want to check out gowns m Demetrios. They are know for their beadwork. Casablanca Bridal and Eddy K have beautiful beadwork also.
    Hope this helps!

    Yes I did just look at a few nice ones! I would be happy to walk down the aisle in any of them but neither store had what I was looking for! I want a satin ballgown with lots of bling - you don't see it very much unfortunately

    I'm not sure what type of dress I am looking for! It will be my first time trying on dresses! I've always wanted a ball gown but now I'm not sure looking at all these photos online!

    Hi Taylor! I'm happy you're bringing this up in your post, because it's definitely true that most wedding dresses we see are the size of a model and don't necessarily reflect our size.Smiley laugh I'm glad you got so many great suggestions, you can also check out the stores near you in our directory: Wedding Dresses near Oakville. Check them out and let us know how was your experience! I can't wait to see pictures of your perfect dress! Smiley love What type of dresses will you be looking at? Are you more princess or mermaid style? Smiley smile

    Check with Saratina Bridal in Oakville and check Promises and Lace in Burlington. They may have some. I'm going to BluIvory and Felisha Bridal this weekend in Toronto so I'll see what there plus size selection is like and let you know!

    Honestly I was SO scared about this too and heard horror stories (my sisters best friend is not even plus size and couldn't fit in stone dresses and the clerk just told her to hold it up in front of her and imagine them Smiley surprise ). But it was ABSOLUTELY not an issue!! I'm in the GTA and I found quite a few that specialized in plus size. Davids bridal was great. I ended up getting mine at Best For Bride (they have a few locations) and it was a GREAT experience (I can send you a referral code for like 10% off if you want). I'll check for my list of others when I get home. But seriously don't worry about your size, these shops made me feel amazing!!!
