For those of us who are voluptuous, the task of wedding dress shopping can be daunting. Will the samples be large enough to fit me? Is the dress I fell in love with online made in my size? Can I even feel beautiful in a dress that is basicall...
y made for a woman who is six feet tall and a size 2? At Brides by Young, all those fears melt away the minute you walk in the door. Young, Lauren and Courtney work tirelessly to make you feel comfortable, special and gorgeous. They go out of their way to make sure you have the best experience you can. The shop is clean, bright and spacious, and the selection of dresses is unique and plentiful. After I went to BBY, I cancelled all my other bridal gown appointments! I knew it would be the place I purchased my dress – and I did. I got a great deal and believe that Young will be helpful all the way through the alterations process. Young has really filled a need is this market! If you are size 14 or over, this should be the one and only dress appointment on your books.

I am a curvy queen so I had high expectations for this plus size bridal boutique. I struggled with my vision for the dress. I was very thankful and appreciative of their sizing of sample dresses available. Unfortunately I was unable to find my ...
dress here. They called me a few weeks later asking how shopping had been going which I was honest and said it hadn’t been going well, nearly in tears to which the consultant replied that she would love to have me back in the store but there’s a $150 fee which she would ‘try to waive’ but if not it would apply to the dress if I purchased one at their salon. I just struggle with the idea of charging a bride to try on more dresses at the largest local plus size salon.. don’t get me wrong, I know their time is important but I also think if they were sincere about caring for the bride, especially plus size brides who have the odds stacked against them, they wouldn’t have the fees in place.. or at the bare minimum mention them before scheduling the first appointment so the bride is aware it’s basically do or die on this one shot.

I absolutely loved my experience here! I spent months doing Google searches to find the perfect shop to start at! Brides by Young came up as the perfect shop for us curvier gals! Kate was amazing. She was welcoming, funny, and asked questions ...
pertaining to the wedding and our ideas for the day. She asked about what my vision was for my dress and the first one she put me in hit it perfectly. We went ahead and tried on other styles and fabrics, too, though. She puts you at ease through your entire appointment and doesn't make you feel rushed. She acted as if we could've been there all day and it would've been okay. Thankfully it didn't take all day lol. The first dress I tried on was the one. We put it on one last time and she made me feel like a princess. Did a little to my hair for the veil and added a hair piece. She truly thinks of everything from the big things to the small things. Oh, and when she takes in the waist to see as close to a perfect fit as possible? Girl, she snatches it. 😂
