A bride’s opinion of Simply Be’s plus size bridal range

It's time for a slightly different - and very special - post with a special guest! A while back, when this site was still Big Girls Browse, I featured the lovely range of wedding dresses from Simply Be. This was a collection I felt really passionate about the moment I saw it. Wedding dresses are expensive, and plus size women get a very raw deal when it comes to their big day, often having to shell out for really expensive made-to-measure pieces, or settling for the very few cheaper off-the-rack options, most of which are pretty ugly and old-fashioned. Simple Be managed to produce a capsule collection of pretty, simple and non-frumpy styles in sizes 12 - 32, all costing £100 or less. They felt modern, chic and special, but fit a tight bridal budget. I knew they'd be popular, but I didn't realise quite how popular! My post about the range quickly became one of the most visited on this site, and perhaps one of the loveliest moments of my entire blogging career so far was discovering that, in a tiny little way, I helped a bride have a brilliant wedding day. With no further ado, I'll pass you over to Rebecca...
