For many brides, the dress shopping experience is one of the most exciting times of planning a wedding.

Kat

June 7, 2015

Looking for cute, quirky, comfortable and affordable shoes for your wedding can seem like an impossible dream. That is, until you discover Melissa. I've been a fan for years, ever since they did their first collaboration with Vivienne Westwood in 2008. In fact those shoes are still probably one of the most popular options for alternative brides.

Wedding Fashion for Plus Sized Brides

Kat

July 27, 2011

Hi Kat, My name is Sara and I just found your website. Wow I was so relieved I wasn't the only one who hated the idea of a cookie cutter poofy foofy wedding! Amazing site! I have always dreamed of a 50's style tea length wedding dress. I found one I love on unique vintage thanks to you, but here's my problem. I'm plus sized. Like say a size 26 plus sized. I've been really ill for the last year and between taking care of my Mom (she had a stroke on my sixteenth birthday) and my illness, weight loss has been on the back burner. I'm set to be married November 5th of this year. I'm on a tight budget, but I just can't stand the idea of not having a wedding dress. Please please help me find one!
