Embrace is a refreshing concept in Bridal Boutiques; an experience designed for a bride-to-be with curves, where no woman should be embarrassed about the size label in her dress, the measurements on the tape or what the weighing scales read. It is about embracing the woman within, a real woman who is marrying her partner who loves and adores her just the way she is.From personal experience, I understand the frustration and difficulties encountered by the plus size bride. Four years ago my fiancé asked me to marry him. Just like any other bride I was over the moon and eagerly began planning my wedding. Unlike a lot of brides I was 41, getting married for the 2nd time and was a size 16. So began the hunt for "the" dress. My experiences of wedding boutiques varied from the wonderful, through embarrassing to downright horrific, with one shop telling me they "didn't have anything to fit" before I had even sat down.
