If you're getting married in 2021, there's a decent chance that you actually wanted to get married last year, and had to delay. You may have already picked your dress out, or you may be on the hunt for the perfect plus-size wedding dress from a dressmaker who really gets inclusive sizing. So for all of us scrambling to get married after the shitshow that was 2020, I'm rounding up some of the best plus-size wedding dresses I've seen so far this year. And because this is Offbeat Bride, you'll find lots of bold colors and design elements like separates, embroidery, high-low hems, gothic vibes, and more!

Bridal body autonomy: My body is none of your business

…I looked at my mother and calmly but firmly said something along the lines of: "I am well aware of what my body looks like. I need you to not talk to me about this anymore. I don't talk to you about your body. My body is not any of your business, only mine, so please don't bring it up again."

These gamers rocked a music festival playlist vibe (& a Bioshock-themed first look!)

The theme was largely based on our mutual love of music and the love we have for our city, with a healthy amount of gamer touches. Our wedding website is themed after a festival website. My husband modeled our invite off of a vintage Beatles ticket. I decided that I was going to do a first look surprise and walk out to him a handmade Big Daddy head from Bioshock. Shout out to cosplayers because that was by far the most time consuming and stressful thing I ever made. Worth it.
