non-traditional bridal, what is it exactly?

the non-traditional bride isn’t afraid to make a statement. they want to go again the “norm” of bridal and will most likely have a more alternative style in their every day wardrobe. the non-traditional bridal can come in many different forms, and truly there are no rules anymore for them. instead of doing the classic white/ivory they could opt for a color like blue, black or even a bold floral print.

if you are the non-traditional bride but aren’t a fan of the bolder colors, then changing the length of your dress is another way to get that non-traditional look. instead of having the floor length traditional wedding dress with a long train, you could choose to go without a train entirely or make a dramatic statement and wear a shortie for your day! on that note, you don’t have to wear a dress at all! you could rock a jumpsuit with some statement accessories.

as a non-traditional bride, these might seem like everything you are looking for, but do they exist in plus size? That’s always the struggle, isn’t it! You follow all the trends and want to do something bold and different, yet nowhere has it in your size to try on. If they do, it’s been modified so much from the original that it’s just not cute or flattering anymore.

This is exactly where rare bridal bar comes in! As an exclusively plus size store, we carry sample sizes 18-36 with multiple designers having unlimited size charts. We believe that being plus size should never limit your options. While we do carry some traditional styles in store, the non-traditional brides hold a special place in our hearts. So if you are looking for a black wedding dress, a jumpsuit, an ombre aline, or a bold pop of color in your look, rare bridal bar can be your one stop shop!
