We all have seen the ads where the brands are trying to be size inclusive…
But just don’t get it right! They literally use “the most acceptable” plus size model but as a consumer are you really drawn to a plus size model that has “curves in all the right places, hourglass figures, small bellies, thick thighs and bottoms”
Most plus size brides say no because that isn’t a true representation of them.
As a size 18/20, I have a stomach, I love my stomach but yes I do have one so I like to see how a wedding dress will look with a stomach.
This article featured on @bustle by @g_russo1 says it all! Literally my favorite quote….
“The fashion industry seems to believe that plus-size means curves in all the right places, hourglass figures, small bellies, thick thighs and bottoms — there is not much more diversity than that,” says fashion and lifestyle writer Sarah Alexander-Georgeson, age 34. “These types of bodies are beautiful, as are all bodies, but they’re not solely representative of what plus size is.”
And @themarcyminute who has been a PPB bridal blogger and graced the cover of our issue 18 print magazine says it best.
“People have been forced to believe one body type is ideal, causing body dysmorphia, self-loathing, yo-yo dieting and beyond,” says Marcy Guevara-Prete, age 36, co-owner of The Plus Bus. “Consuming mainstream media has caused irrevocable damage to people’s self image and it takes years of reprogramming to embrace the jiggle and truly be body neutral, let alone body positive.”
So true!! And honestly exactly what we are experiencing in the wedding industry as well.

And come back and share your thoughts on it and how you feel this is showing up in the wedding industry.

When you are gone with the wind fabulous, wearing an amazing Autumn Gold skirt and stunning top [Mira/Nolina].
✨ And your hubs is wearing the fiercest gold spiked loafers!

・・・
We have a feeling these two are the sort of couple where you just can’t wait for the wedding because you HAVE TO KNOW what they’re going to wear. The day comes and you finally catch a glimpse of a pair of Gold. Spiked. Shoes and that’s when you know: this is going to be gooood.

The message behind this post is what I strive to share all day everyday!
Thanks to @oftenanxiousalwayshungry for the reminder!
And shout out to @burghbrides for having me chat with her audience about body image and not having to change your body for your wedding!
•
Just a reminder from someone who has had body image issues since elementary school…you do NOT need to lose weight for your wedding! I agree with @burghbrides that #sweatingforthewedding can be pretty toxic.
.
.
.
There’s soooo much planning that goes into a wedding and for me weight loss wasn’t worth the stress. Over the years I’ve gained confidence in my curves and try to have a body positive mindset. I have given myself grace for gaining weight during Covid. I love food! My husband and I first bonded over a mutual love of eating at different restaurants & he’s a really good cook!
.
.
.
Do I wish my arms & back weren’t so chubby in the first photo? Yes! Do I wish my face was thinner & my chin wasn’t so flabby in most of the photos? Yes! Did I feel self conscious at all about my body on my wedding day? No, because I married someone who loves me for me and not my weight! I loved my dress and I was surrounded by friends and family that made me feel amazing! But it has taken a lot of work over many years to be comfortable in my genes!

They’re grabbing it because they love it. Thats the ultimate in sexy!!!
As plus size women we are made to not feel sexy about our bodies but I promise you if they didn’t want to grab it, they wouldn’t!
Next time they want to give you a “love tap” or grab that big ole booty….let them because they do really love all of you including that even if you don’t!
Remember people are drawn to confidence especially body confidence. So no need to wait until you are a certain size, let’s embody that body confidence right now!
There’s nothing like feeling truly worthy of your partner loving on you on your wedding day and beyond.
And if you aren’t ready for that yet, no worries, shoot me a DM because I can help with that, no need to let this get in the way of your relationship.

“grab that booty because it’s all yours!!!”
y'all know that i love the booty grabbing - especially on wedding days. why are we so afraid to showcase some quality lovin’ on these romantic days?
i’m so grateful to be in a place with my clients where they’re comfortable enough on camera for a little booty action. this is one of my fave moments from Macy + Cedric’s day. high quality love right here.

HOW TO STOP OVERTHINKING.
I’m not perfect (duh) and I definitely fall into the pattern of overthinking my desires and decisions. In my experience, I’ve found there are 3 things I can do to shake this habit off.
Here they are:
1️⃣ Stop caring about what others think - y’all it’s cancer season and time to do you and for me that means I’m gonna be out here showing all the skin and saying all the things that I want to, no filter! Get ready! You with me?
2️⃣ MOVE and get into ACTION- literally just do one thing that will move you closer to your goal. Just one, that will then lead you to another and then another.
This trip that I took here I was literally going back and forth deciding on where we could stay and what we would do and I was like eff it, hotel booked, done, let’s go!!
3️⃣ KNOW WHAT YOU WANT - this is a biggie and it can be so hard because your judgement and what you want can be clouded by what you think others want but it’s your time sis, let’s only do what you want, make moves and get it going!
I share these tips with you so that you can stop overthinking what you really want.
While being a bride, we often try to please everyone. But by doing this we lose ourselves and this isn’t healthy AT ALL!
If you’re really honest with yourself, what do you truly desire for yourself as a bride?
Feel free to share with me below or in my DMs… I’m all ears.
And let me know below, which one of these steps you have a hard time doing?

Happy Pride Month!
Cheers to celebrating LOVE in all it’s beautiful, limitless iterations ❤️
I’m so grateful to all those who have fought to for the protection of LGBTQ+ humans over so many decades. And I’m proud of the progress that has been made towards acceptance. This is a battle of the heart and mind, and a battle for more peace, love, and understanding is one that I think is well worth the effort
I am grateful that through my work I’m given an opportunity to show the world my own heart for others. Which is that, I love people! ALL PEOPLE. And I love LOVE! You are loved and you beautiful, exactly as you are

Johanna and Matthew decided to have a destination wedding in Johanna’s family hometown of Richmond, Virginia. (Yep my hometown too!)
The couple chose the charming and unique venue of the Historic Polegreen Church to live out their inspiration of an art décor garden party. DIY touches pulled the day together and added a personal feel.
The couple created CD place cards that symbolized their favorite bands and artists. Johanna purchased real and faux flowers to build the floral chandeliers and arbor for the ceremony herself.
Their favorite moment was taking a college tradition that signified the end of the party by closing out the evening with the song “Wagon Wheel” while everyone danced and sang their hearts out.

Stepping into Cancer season with all the body positivity and giving no effs feels!
What’s one thing you are doing to let go of someone else having control over your body?
Love this message from @jk_artium

“Step away from the mean girls and say bye-bye to feeling bad about your looks. Are you ready to stop colluding with a culture that makes so many of us feel physically inadequate? Say goodbye to your inner critic, and take this pledge to be kinder to yourself and others.“ — Oprah
Today is the last day of May, are you ready to welcome June full of body positivity?

We love the idea of just giving your bridesmaid a color palette and letting them decide what styles will look good on them.
That is exactly what this bride did and she says it turned out nicely. We totally agree.
Would you do something like this for your wedding?
