Mother of the bride dresses that are not frumpy
Your mom should wear something that not only looks and feels good, but that expresses her style (and potentially the style of the wedding!). Here are some suggestions for the Offbeat Bride and Groom’s moms out there.
The dreaded dress lust (also called, Dress Envy, Dress Regret, etc…)
You know that feeling when you already have your THEE DRESS but then you see another amazing design and think, hmm? Maybe that wasn’t THEE DRESS because it’s quite possible that this one is THEE DRESS. Yeah, it happens. Check out how one Offbeat Bride dealt with her dress lust…
Strapless unmentionables: A “minus size” round up
I loved reading Andrea’s advice for finding plus size long line bras. However, I happen to be at the opposite end of that spectrum. After seeing a few comments requesting a “minus size” round up, I thought it was time for me to step in and represent those of us who are not as, erm “well-endowed.” (FYI this post has pictures of ladies in their undergarments so it’s probably NSFW.)
Hello, I’m the bride. My name is Doormat.
I have only been working in a bridal salon for near a month now and already I have seen some appalling behaviours that seriously need to stop. I have seen far too many people come in and out of my store who have let themselves be walked all over by family members and loved ones. It isn’t right.
How to find a wheelchair-friendly wedding dress
What dresses are best for Offbeat Brides in a wheelchair? And how can you feel like you’re looking AT your guests and not UP at them when coming down the aisle in a chair?
Fun with long line bras: A plus size round-up
One thing I have learned from this experience is that you need to be flexible with your size. Your bra size is only your bra size for normal bras. We all go to the store and pick out our favorite brand or style and don’t even question our sizes. In specialty bras, your bra size is just a starting point. I do recommend having a professional fitting if you haven’t had one done recently — you might be surprised (I know I was when I had it done). Don’t be afraid to size up and size down in both the cups and the bands. Every brand sizes differently! And if you are buying online make sure to double check the return policy!
