Plus Size Brides??

Leah, on January 9, 2020 at 10:34 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 28
Hey everyone!
Where are all of the plus size brides getting their shoes and garters? Is there a magic plus size bridal store that I don’t know about?! Lol
I need ideas because I am struggling to find cute shoes to fit my wide feet and a garter that will actually look flattering. Thanks 😊Also here is a pic of my dress because I’m dying to show someone! Plus Size Brides?? 1

    Your dress is gorgeous! I wore Kate Spade glittery Keds. I didn't get them in wide, although they do offer wide sizes. I didn't wear a garter on my wedding day, but my veil from Blanca Veils on Etsy did come with a free one that fit.

    Your dress is GORGEOUS. I ordered my converse off of Etsy, but I probably would have gone with Keds otherwise. My garter is from DB, but I haven't tried it on. Honestly I might go without lol. The struggle is real though - I'd check Etsy to see if anyone has some larger sized garters.

    Thank you!! I thought about kate spade keds but my dress is only about 1.5 inches too long so I was hoping to find some wide sparkly 2 inch heels so I wouldn’t have to get it altered. Wishful thinking I guess lol

    Thank you!! My dress is only 1.5 inches too long so I’m really hoping to find some 2 inch heels so I don’t have to pay the extra $150. I will definitely look on Etsy for a garter though thats a good idea! I was thinking of not doing it but I thought it was weird to do a bouquet toss and not a garter toss...? Maybe it’s not?

    That was the first place I looked but unfortunately no sparkly heels right now. That’s the only place I’ve ever found that has heels that fit me. I might check back again though

    Eh, that's what we're doing. Our wedding is mostly family, so we opted against the garter toss. I will do the bouquet though to make sure not to anger the older females of the families. My grandma was already talking about nudging her way in! I love Nina heels - they're comfy for wide feet. Maybe give them a look?

    I just looked them up. I have big ankles too. Are the ankle straps larger too? That’s my biggest problem is finding wide heels but then the ankle strap isn’t actually “wide” it’s just normal size so it’s too small

    Eh, I remember having a bit of a hard time with the ankle shoes, but I was 18 and wore them to prom lol. I think Macys and Sears carry them if you want to go try them on! I love their pumps though - nothing but love for the cute heels

    As a future plus size bride myself I would check Etsy or someone that can make one or two if you need one to toss at the reception. This way you are sure to get beauty with the right fit. Congratulations!

    Your dress is stunning and you look great!! I got my garter from Etsy. You can have someone custom make it to ensure it's the right size, and something you want! As far as shoes, I'd try Amazon! They literally have everything.
