Reminder that beauty comes in many many many forms. I was so insecure about many things and it came out beautifully.

My dress is Ember from Anthropologie.

My advice if you’re still planning:

1. Get off wedding Instagram. Only follow plus size body positive influencers.
2. Listen to your intuition about what YOU want. Absolutely everyone should NOT like your aesthetic/decisions and that’s how it should be!
3. Take what Redditors and other people online say with a grain of salt 😉
4. Maybe controversial, but go with the easier plan whenever possible. I felt like the aesthetic I wanted was a little ambitious for the city I was in and it wasn’t quite what I wanted. I wish I would have chosen something “safer” with fewer colors.
5. People are going to wear what they want to wear.
6. Before choosing your dress, SIT in it for an extended amount of time. Take a LOT of photos and videos in it.
7. It will go by INCREDIBLY fast.
8. Consider a lower fuss wedding if at all possible— micro, backyard, etc. You will realize it was all about the fun, not the aesthetics.
9. If you’re planning the wedding, have your partner plan the honeymoon. This worked out AMAZING for us.
