Plus Size Wedding Dresses

Here at Bride To Be in Reading, we understand that not all brides are a perfect size 10! We know that our plus size brides are just as fashion conscious as everyone else and want to look stunningly beautiful on their wedding day! With this in mind we have put together a fabulous collection of on-trend, plus size wedding dresses by our favourite award winning, designers.
