Beautiful brides come in all shapes and sizes. Magazines generally feature size zero models, but a lot of women do not fit that picture-perfect mold. We have an extensive variety of wedding dresses at Brides of America to make every woman feel perfect and gorgeous on her special day.
All of the Mori Lee wedding dresses that we carry both online and in our Miami bridal gown store come in sizes to fit our full-figured customers, but the Julietta collection is designed specifially with our more curvaceous brides in mind. Everyone is able to find an expertly crafted, marvelous gown when shopping at Brides of America.
Many of the plus size brides that come into our store start out looking for an A-line style or a full skirt because they believe this is the only dress that will look good on their shape. Not the case! About 90% of them end up choosing a fit and flare dress, like a mermaid or trumpet skirt, because once they put it on, this style is amazing on their shape.
David Abadi asks each of his brides lots of questions, not just about the wedding planning, but about the woman in general. His goal is to find the perfect gown to match her personality. He has a gift for helping a bride to choose the dress that makes her feel the most comfortable and beautiful.
Here are reviews from three of our lovely full figured brides that sum up the experience of buying a plus size gown from Brides of America perfecty.
"I had
an amazing experience with David. He is very professional, caring and direct.
He loves what he does, and it shows through his word and actions. Needless to
say, by the time I found his store I had been to a couple other bridal
boutiques within the dade and Broward counties. My experiences with them had me
disheartened to the wedding dress shopping experence. Let me just say it wasn't
the people except in one instance, but it's the fact that all the boutiques I
went to had size 10 and under gowns in their showroom to try on. I'm a 16 and
to not be able to try on anything but have a person hold a dress up to you for
you to imagine what u look like in it was not a great feeling. David carries a
line of gowns that is made for plus size women. He made me feel special from
the moment we sat down to discuss what I was looking for in a gown all the way
to the end of my appoinrment. The very first dress he picked I did not like on
the hanger and he told me to trust him and try it on. I put the dress on and
fell in love with how I looked and felt in the dress. That overwhelming
euphoric feeling of happiness came over me and the tears came shortly
after.this was my dress. It was the best time I had shopping. My mom and one of
my bridesmaid was with me and they even thanked him for taking the time with me
and making feel better about dress shopping. To all the plus size women in
Miami, I recommend you go to Brides of America and see David. You will not be
disappointed."

"Let
me just begin by saying that I had been dreading dress shopping for quite some
time. I am a plus sized girl and I was very self-conscious. I had put it off
until my friend recommended Brides of America, where she got her dress and had
a great experience. I went to see David last night with my cousin and
sisters-in-law. At first I was very nervous and apprehensive, but David was
BEYOND amazing. His professionalism, passion for what he does, and light
personality put me at ease in no time! I could not believe how confident and
beautiful he made me feel. I can honestly say that because of David, I found
THE dress! I absolutely LOVE it!!! David, I cannot thank you enough for
everything! I would recommend Brides of America to EVERYONE!!!! Don't think
about it.... just do it! You will not regret it!

"I was
a little nervous to begin the dress shopping process as I am a plus size bride
and very self conscious. I looked at dresses online and had a safe concept in
my head that I had envisioned for myself. My dress would be A-line with lace
and 3/4 length sleeves. Being a little over weight it seemed like a style that
would be flattering to my body type. I am literally shaped like a coke bottle
or even like the number 8 lol. Any how I had been to one store prior to going
to Brides of America and left feeling just ok with what I tried on. So at
Brides of America I met David. He sat down and took the time to learn a little
about me and my mom. He asked questions about the ceremony and reception venues
to get an idea of what look would look best for me on my day. He told me he
wouldn't let me buy a dress if I didn't absolutely love it, and he was very
sincere. So He pulled 3 dresses for me and I tried on all 3. I really liked the
second one I tried on so he had me get into it again and put the blusher, veil and
even gave me a prop bouquet to hold. He had me stare into the mirror and I knew
it was "the one", this beautiful ivory beaded lace strapless mermaid
gown. It was so not like anything I had pictured myself in. I had my Say Yes to
the Dress and David Tutera moment and didn't have to go to very far to
experience it. And more importantly the price was very reasonable. It was
great! Now with that said, I am not a crier and I don't warm up to people very
easily but I can say in all honesty David and his assistant Allison both won me
over and really made my experience a memorable one. I felt gorgeous and might
have shed a tear or two who knows lol but I had my moment. David and his staff
really know what they are doing. He wasn't just looking to make a sale he genuinely
loves what he does and wants you to feel nothing less than fabulous in the
dress you choose for your wedding day. Thank you David you made me a very happy
girl and made my experience one to remember."

The best wedding dress store in Miami knows all there is to know about bridal fashion, and we've picked up a lot over the years about everything else "wedding" too. We hear brides talk, and they are very vocal about how they feel about the vendors that they deal with. One local floral designer is a favorite with everyone that works with him, and he is a favorite of Brides of America too.
