Top 5 Tips on Finding the Perfect Plus Size Wedding Dress for You
Finding clothes can be a frustrating experience for any full-figured woman, so it's understanding that the idea of shopping for a plus-size wedding dress is a daunting one. But here are five easy tips to make sure you find the perfect plus-size wedding dress for you.
1. Know your shape. You'll want to find a dress that is best for your figure. An a-line shape is flattering to most curvier figures, as it can skim over hips. Avoid full ballgown skirts as they can add to an overall roundness. A v-neckline on a busty woman can add a beautiful contrasting line. I would also avoid tea-length gowns, as they tend to make women look squatter.
2. Know where to shop You might start out at one of the larger retail chains, like David's Bridal, as they are more likely to have dresses you can try on, rather than trying to imagine how the size eight sample will look on your body. You can also look at department stores, and at designers who specialize in plus-size wedding dresses such as Emme Bridal, Alfred Angelo, Bonny, Mon Cheri, or Allure Bridals. Look at websites such as plussizebridal.com for more ideas.
3. Be comfortable The most beautiful dress won't look so beautiful if you are stressed, or tugging on it. Make sure you can move, talk, and dance in your dress with ease. Consider getting the next size up just to make sure the dress fits you well.
4. Get it tailored No matter what size you are, look your best on your wedding day by getting your wedding dress altered to fit you personally. Subtle differences in how a garment fits you can make worlds of difference in other's perception of you, and in your own confidence.
5. Don't be afraid to break the rules In the end, it's your wedding dress. You need to love it, regardless of what the roles are. Furthermore, much advice on plus-size wedding dresses focuses on disguising your figure, but a curvaceous body is something to celebrate, not hide. When a wedding dress sings you to you, then that's the one to buy, regardless of the rules.

David's Bridal for sure! Go to the store (or online), pick out the dress and color, and have them look up what stores have the dress in the that color and size. Then, call the store to confirm. When you find the store, have them ship it to you (you choose Group, 2-day deliver, overnight, etc.) and pay the shipping charges.
I did this 2 weeks before my wedding. It was an extra $25 per dress, but I got my 2 size 24's in a coral, organza cut dress and they were perfect, beautiful, and on time!
Also, I believe Macy's has plus sized dressed. Check out their website.

Getting married represents a big step in anyone’s life. The stress of making sure everything comes together perfectly for the wedding can seem insurmountable. Dealing with caterers, musicians, and other wedding-related matters crucial to the success of that special day are usually relegated to someone women trust, like mothers, other relatives, or even a wedding planner.

Why buy when you can make one out of large unused plastic garbage, trash, bin bag/liners. Then you can add your own style and flair to it .
