Every bride deserves to look and feel her best on her big day -- and while shopping for her wedding dress. Dress shopping can be overwhelming for even the most body-positive bride. With bridal sizing running much smaller than ready-to-wear clothing, brides can expect to try on dresses a few sizes larger than they’re used to. Know this going in, and make your shopping experience as beautiful and fun as possible. From traditional to bohemian, and even over-the-top romantic, we've rounded up all of the best plus size wedding dresses on the market.
