When we first opened Strut we knew there was a need for plus size wedding dresses in Phoenix. And we assumed we'd get brides from all over Arizona. But it's really surprised us to find that many California brides are struggling to find plus size wedding gowns.
Katrina first visited us last fall, driving to Phoenix with a girlfriend from Fresno. She was looking for a dress for her April wedding at an outdoor garden (which was actually like a private house with garden–check out the pool pic below). Katrina is a designer by day, so we were thrilled to see evidence of her eye for design in the incredible wedding photos she sent us.
Katrina chose a ruffled, fitted trumpet gown. It's made of organza by Allure Bridals (#8705). It's super lightweight but perfect for a garden wedding.
She modified the neckline of the 8705 wedding dress to be a slight sweetheart design. Here's a close up of her modified sweetheart neckline:
The bodice is fully ruched and features a zipper with satin covered buttons. The back features a chapel length train. Here's a photo:
We love the light colored suits the groom and groomsmen wore. Here she is with Geoff (the groom!):
We love this shot of Katrina and her bridesmaids by the pool:
Check out the little flags above the tables–don't they add such a festive feeling?
Thanks, Katrina, for sending us so many incredible photos. We love the detail shots and love sharing them with other brides! Best wishes to you and Geoff!
