In this day and age, we plus size women are done with the limited, frumpy plus size wedding dress selection that designers have tried to force us into. Today, we are embracing our bodies and remembering that our fiancés chose us for a reason; we’re hot! Designers are finally realizing that they’ve been missing out on an important demographic and now there are so many beautiful bridal trends that look just stunning on us! Here are 3 plus size wedding dress trends for 2025 brides.
One of our favorite plus size wedding dress trends for 2025 that’s perfect for us plus size ladies is a corset bodice. There are two factors to this. The first is boning, which refers to reinforced strips throughout the bodice that provide extra structure and support. With proper plus size wedding dress structure, even the bustiest gal can go braless on her big day. The other part of a corset bodice is a lace-up back. This is what many people think of when they hear the word “corset.” It works similarly to a shoelace and allows you to really customize the fit of your dress, even before you get your dress altered.
You can tighten your wedding gown where you want it tight and loosen it where you need a bit more room. If your dress does not already have a lace up back, it can be converted to one in alterations. This is also a way to make a wedding dress that was originally a bit too small fit like a glove, which comes in very handy at an off the rack bridal store like Garnet + grace. It also is very helpful if you, like so many women, find that your weight tends to fluctuate. If you need your wedding dress to be a little bit looser or tighter on the day of your wedding, you can make that happen! I can’t say enough good things about a corset bodice!
Another trend we’re loving is clean, sleek plus size wedding dresses. They’re super popular right now and it’s clear why! These plus size wedding dresses are so classic and timeless. It also lets your beauty speak for itself. Who needs all the bells and whistles when you yourself shine so brightly? Simple also doesn’t have to mean plain! There is so much that can be done with silhouette and texture in the wedding dress, not to mention accessories! You can jazz up an otherwise simple dress with a sparkly belt or a lacey veil. It’s amazing how much of a difference such a small detail can make! But no matter how you accessorize it, you’re sure to stun in a clean classic dress.
We know we just said how beautiful simple plus size wedding dresses are, but there’s something so magical about a wedding dress with intricate texture as well! Pearls and beads are so on trend and they are drop dead gorgeous. You can find them everywhere from shoes to jewelry to veils to the wedding dress itself! They provide beautiful texture and really class up any look. Pleats and ruching are another super fun way to incorporate texture into your wedding dress. This draping compliments any body type; showing off your curves while disguising areas you may be insecure about. It makes you and your wedding dress both look very luxurious.
There are so many gorgeous plus size wedding dress trends for 2025 for us plus size ladies. Don’t settle for what others think you should wear. Find something that makes you feel beautiful. Whatever you decide to wear on your big day, nothing will make you more beautiful than the joy and love radiating from you and your spouse as you begin your new life together.
