I’ve finally began the wedding dress hunt and it’s so exciting!! A few weeks ago I went into David’s Bridal and had the BEST time trying on dresses with them! To be honest it was something I had sort of dreaded and I honestly left being blown away by how much fun I had! Their location in NYC was in the perfect area and the staff was SO sweet! Now onto the dresses…
First off when I got to David’s Bridal I immediately started picking out dresses, I picked out SO many! They just had so many gorgeous ones I couldn’t get over it! I also felt so happy with how many sizes they had.. they had so many actually IN my size, not just ones that had to be pinned! One of the big reasons I was so excited to Collab with David’s Bridal was because they are always so inclusive and celebrate lots of different body types. The bridal industry can tend to always make women feel like they ‘need to lose 15 pounds’ or need to reach some beauty standard to look like a beautiful bride… and I SAY LETS PUT AN END TO THAT! I felt like a princess in my size 10-12 wedding dresses and want to remind you all that you can be a beautiful bride no matter what size or shape you are!
I truly just had such a wonderful time trying these dresses on at David’s Bridal and working towards finding ‘the one’ for our big day. I still can’t even decide which one is my favorite.. which one is yours!?
Post in collaboration with David’s Bridal, but all thoughts are truly my own!

I think the first one in the post is my fave! I love the bodice.
I’m glad they are inclusive in sizes. I really hate that every time a bride starts looking for a dress, people automatically say “you will need to lose some weight”. Like hell, I don’t need to!

I didn’t end up getting my wedding dress from David’s Bridal, but my experience there was definitely super integral to me finding the perfect dress style! When my friends are wedding dress shopping, I always try to get them to David’s Bridal as a first stop! They have so many different styles, and its so helpful to see what each one actually looks like on your body type before jumping off in to the boutiques (if thats the route you go)!
These dresses are all perfect on you, the first and third definitely have my vote!

I got mine at david bridals too and was actually really surprised by how many different styles they had and how friendly the staff was. It was the only place we went to with tea length dresses (I mean, you could cut a longer dress, according to the other stories but…)
of these, I like all three but the first seems…. the most like you, somehow? It has elements we’ve seen you in before while still being very unique and stunning. ANd while it has some lovely details it never looks like the dress is wearing you rather than vice versa. Good luck with the dress hunt!
