Plus Size Wedding Dresses at Elite Salon – Beauty in Every Shape

Not so long ago, even professional bridal magazines hesitated to feature fuller-figured brides. Fortunately, the fashion industry has become more inclusive, recognizing that femininity and beauty are not defined by clothing size. Based on our experience, the majority of brides are not model-shaped — and they shouldn’t have to be.

At Elite Salon, we have always believed that every bride deserves a perfectly fitting wedding dress that highlights her natural beauty. Our collection includes a wide range of bridal gowns designed specifically to flatter curvier silhouettes.

What Is the Most Flattering Wedding Dress for Plus Size Brides?
Elite Salon offers carefully selected styles that enhance proportions, create balance, and provide comfort without compromising elegance:

A-line wedding dresses made from lightweight, softly flowing chiffon or muslin are especially flattering. These gowns gently skim the body, visually slim the figure, and create a graceful, airy appearance.

V-neck bridal gowns are an excellent choice for brides with a fuller bust. This neckline elongates the neck and upper body, creating a slimmer, more elegant silhouette.

Strap, short-sleeve, or long-sleeve wedding dresses are ideal for brides who wish to cover the upper arms or discreetly hide bra straps. Wider straps and sleeves provide support while maintaining a refined look.

Asymmetrical wedding dresses can also be a wonderful option. Diagonal lines and soft draping help conceal less flattering areas and create visual harmony.

Styles to Avoid
Some designs may emphasize curves in an unflattering way. Very full skirts with large hoops, overly voluminous silhouettes, or heavily pleated skirts can make the figure appear larger than it is.

Accessories Matter
The right accessories play a key role in completing the look:

Delicate stone necklaces pair beautifully with V-neck gowns
Elegant, high-quality earrings in moderate sizes are recommended
Hair accessories should consist of several smaller elements, such as fine hairpins or delicate headpieces
For veils, we suggest waist-length styles with soft drape and light density
Decorative bridal belts adorned with lace or stones worn at the waist are currently very popular and can be highly flattering.

Shoes and Final Styling Tips
Choosing a higher heel can visually slim the figure by up to 5–10 kilograms. One accessory we generally advise against is bridal gloves, as they can make the arms and hands appear heavier and may disrupt the dress silhouette. Fortunately, gloves are typically worn only briefly, often just until the ring exchange.

Sizes and Availability at Elite Salon
At Elite Salon, wedding dresses are available in white, ivory, and off-white shades up to EU size 44 directly from our collection.
