Bodacious Brides!

Kelly Rowland isn't the only lucky lady getting married, watch out for the THICK brides! Yes ladies, the day we all look forward to...DUAL INCOME otherwise known as getting married. There are so many details to consider, and loads of wrong turns that can be made. How do we avoid all this? Simply by getting a wedding planner, but if your like me and have a budget that's NOT an option. What's a bride to do?

First of all get your head in the game! This is not a problem but a challenge, a conundrum is you will; that must be solved before the big day. First pick your date, what do you see when you envision your wedding? Are you outside, inside, spring time, summer time, or fall? The date you pick correlates with the season and affects your choice of dress for you and your wedding party. 

Next, choose your colors. Big girls, we can wear any color we want, just make sure it suits you or your

wedding party. Also, who says the bride has to wear white? White is traditionally for virgins, let's keep it
100; most of us are not virgins we just keep the tradition going. You can be adventurous with the color scheme to make a truly unique vision come to life. 

The next focus should be on your venue. Besides finding the perfect dress, the venue is the second hardest task of putting together a wedding. You have to decide if you want the reception to be in same place as the ceremony or travel to two separate places.  Keep in mind separate places means SEPARATE deposits. By choosing different areas you will be spending more money, but if it can't be avoided then a woman's got to do, what a woman's got to do!

Then, you want to focus on all the small things that can get lost in the chaos of planning a wedding. Like for example, deciding how to style your hair. If your an anal bride (LOL) you would also choose how you'd like your wedding party to style their hair also. Sometimes you can leave stuff like this to chance, but WHY?

  Also, don't forget shoes and accessories, and the all important Wedding Night Lingerie.This is the night to let all your inhibitions run FREE, your with your life partner, so there is no 
Here are a few thangs that can get the party started real quick:

Lastly, ladies say YES to the dress! with all the different selections out in the bridal world it can be more than
overwhelming to decide on the dress that will be timeless, elegant, and memorable. As a plus size women, I refuse to stick with the same boxy design that most luscious size ladies do. I would want something that reflects my personality, pushes the envelope of traditional thinking, and of course is drop dead sexy! Check out some dress choices that I thought would suit every type of bride, from traditional to over the top!

 As as you search for dresses remember everything isn't for everybody, LIKE THIS...

 

And PLEASE remember this! Spanx or any other shaping garment can help hid what you don't want people to see, and accentuate what you do!

Any questions, comments, or concerns please leave me a comment below! As always, STAY BEAUTIFUL, CONFIDENT, AND ABOVE ALL SEXY! 

XOXO!

P.H.A.T. In The City Meet & Greet Networking Event

Hi Beautiful People! Today I share my experience I had at an networking event in NYC held at Fashion 40 Lounge hosted by Thick Madams Inc & Plump Goddesses. Coming together in a first time collaboration, members from both parties traveled from as far away as Chicago to New York in order to build strong relationships and connections with each other to further endorse plus size business people, companies, artists, designers, photographers and of course BLOGGERS!

I had so much fun at this event! Usually, I might have been a bit nervous in a room full of strangers; and it can be hard to go up to someone and introduce yourself and brand over and over again. At this event I didn't feel that way at all, I was totally comfortable and I felt like I was in a room with old friends rather than new faces; that's how welcome I felt. I do a lot of networking that is done through social media or attending fashion shows; this is the first event I've attended that it's only purpose was to network within the plus size fashion industry. Present at this event were people from diverse backgrounds of the full figured fashion industry ready to make connections, and expand business ventures. I felt camaraderie around people who are in the same business as myself, and I invite anyone who has never attended a networking event to do so, as an independent  business owner it will be one of the best
decisions you can make.

The ladies of Thick Madams Inc & Plump Goddesses has done a remarkable job setting the bar high, while bringing together people that can connect with each other and grow business together to reach a common goal of bringing attention and notoriety to the plus size industry. People involved in this industry are not just business people, but also consumers; we each know what is lacking in the fashion world concerning the fuller bodies of men and women. This event is the first step in building stronger relationships with each other, I for one cannot wait for the next step to take root and grow.
