Plus-Size Bridal Style

Wedding invite says: serve a look. We have a fun wedding-themed episode for you today as wedding szn approaches! Taelor Pawnell aka @stylishsista is your plus-size, creative, Virgo, bridal bestie, sharing tips for plus-size bridal fashion and wedding planning on her social media. Raeann loved following her and was super inspired by her fire Brooklyn Bridge engagement photos so we had to have her on the podcast to hear more!

“There's a lot of hidden costs of being plus-size, and then you add the layer of not having options. I’m very much wanting to do what I want to do and you push me into this box with 5 options to choose from that are standard? No.” - Taelor

What we talk about:

  • Raeann shares a dating update

  • Kristina’s wedding dress disaster story

  • Process of getting ready for her engagement photos

  • How to be confident on camera

  • Where Taelor shopped for her “outside of the box” size inclusive outfits

  • Taelor’s wedding dress shopping experience and advice for plus size brides

  • How Taelor found her bridal dress designer

  • The toxic weight loss pressure brides feel

  • Tips for planning and navigating pre-wedding events

  • Ask away: My partner hasn’t said “I love you” yet, should I be worried?

“In order to be confident, remember the end goal. It’s all about you, this is your thing.” - Taelor
