Plus size Bridal Gowns

The girls at Bombshell are always searching and read up on what's happening in the bridal world. It's something we all enjoy doing and it helps us make your "Bombshell Experience" everything it can be!

Our consultant Kirah found an article on TheKnot's blog titled "Gorgeous Plus Size Wedding Gowns".

While the dresses are pretty, it brings up the question, "Why do plus size brides have to wear plus size gowns?" The dresses in the blog featured the typical "plus size look", a-line, flowy, tent-like coverings that are masked as wedding gowns.

Something that we strive to do at Bombshell is to feature designer, custom, stunning gowns in our store. Instead of carrying plus size lines we carry designer lines in plus sizes. We figure, why cover your body with shape shaming material and hideously unshapely gowns?

Your wedding gown should make you feel beautiful, look amazing, and most of all show off your gorgeous shape!

So all that being said, when you are shopping for your gown remember that you are not limited to plus size lines that market themselves strictly to plus size girls! Look beyond the plus size labes, why restrict yourself?

Instead, seek a dress that you love, not that you like. Your gown should make you feel beautiful, show off your shape and make you feel like a queen!

Bridal Shows

Bridal shows are the best way for you, the busy bride to plan your wedding with ease! Shows are an exciting, fun, festive way to meet different necessary vendors.

Amanda's advice, Attitude is EVERYTHING!!

I often get asked, what my best advice is for brides shopping for their gowns, and my answer is always the same: Keep an open mind. This is so important, and key to having a successful visit. Buying a wedding gown can be very exciting. It can also be terrifying. It can make you feel your most beautiful, and it can also bring up all sorts of body image issues. While every bride and every experience is different, the one thing I can tell you with complete confidence, is that the brides who keep an open mind have the best experiences. We recently had a bridal appointment start like this: Consultant: “Are you ready to get started?!? We’re going to have some fun today!!” Bride: “I doubt it.” Throughout the appointment, this bride refused to try on gowns that her consultant suggested, and found fault with everything, even the gowns she liked best. It probably won’t surprise you to know that this appointment didn’t end well. For whatever reason, this particular bride was not open to the possi...

#WeddingWednesday Taara + Malcolm 9-5-15

Wait until you see how beautiful Taara is! Their wedding was BEAUTIFUL! See what she had to say about her big day: "Our ceremony took place at Rock of Ages Christian Ministries. Our ceremony was short and sweet and only lasted about 20 minutes. My dad walked me down the aisle as my only brother sang to me. I had my 2 favorite guys share this special moment with me and that meant everything to me. My husband and I exchanged vows and demonstrated us becoming one by taking part in a wine communion ceremony. Once that was all said and done, we were introduced for the first time as Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Hatcher. My fiancé thought that I was the most beautiful bride in the world. He absolutely loved my dress. I felt like a princess in my wedding dress. I never in a million years though that I could feel that way ! Being plus size can put a lot of doubt in your mind when it comes to finding that perfect dress for on...
