Alternative Black Brides

The wedding is 12 weeks out and to say I am excited is an understatement. The last few months of planning have been a joy and I'm pretty sure its because I've taken a laid back approach to it and also had the help of Bae.

There is still so much to do which is a little stressful but truthfully as long as we are both there on the day and grinning at each other as we step into this incredible chapter of married life then who cares if we have the right colour napkins!

I've had a blast documenting and sharing with you all and finding wee tips and tricks to talk to you all about. The wedding world and industry is massive and though it's so pleasing to the creative in me, one thing for sure is that there is a lack of representation!

What we are presented in terms of aesthetic doesnt always reflect the diverse world we live in.

Even within the more niche side of alternative brides and alternative weddings I struggled to find people who looked like me or quite frankly anyone that would fall under the category of minority or marginalised which isn't right.

So when I was thinking of content for the blog for 2020, one thing was for sure, I wanted to have some content that showed that alternative black, fat brides exist!

We out here falling in love with our big arms and thick thighs and dark skin. We are budgeting and planning and laughing and crying and riding the rollercoaster without fitting into a westernized standard of beauty!

I picked out this look because I had a plan for every version of wedding we might of had. Elopement was definitely something we considered, and if we had and if we had set a stricter budget than the one we have now, I would have done for a look this.

Punk meets pink. Glamorous, laid back and cool! We love our fan fic as much as we love a bold lip. Life is exciting and we don't play by the rules the world gives us.

That's how I would describe this look!

You see being a bride doesnt mean changing yourself, it means complimenting who you already are! So whatever avenue you choose and whichever parts of you, you serve, do it knowing you're enough!

One of the things I love about fashion is the fact you can explore all the parts of yourself. Its another form of dress up which is just playing and if theres one thing I love to do it's play. So this playtime look is called, "front run of the runway show next to Anna Wintour." • • • • • #hautecouturedress #onabudget #asoslovescurves #puffsleeves #asos (at Edinburgh, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B16yRVenxfi/?igshid=n4tq6yre4hh3

Apart from being ridiculously excited that my wedding dress has finally arrived, in my stories I'm talking about things you can do to make your wedding special and unique to both of you as couple. I think you find these wee personal gems by staying true to yourself and not necessarily going with traditional ideas. Honestly if we were going to run off and elope in a hot country, I would be serving you this puff sleeve mini. • • • What special elements would you include? • Dress// @asos 🔎1495739 #asoslovescurves #andigetdressed #whitewedding #alternativebride #weddingweekends #alternativeweddingdress [Michelle stands in front of a house leaning into her hip with one arm down and one hand pulling at her hair.

Happy Friday Great Lights of the Universe! Its wedding weekend and we're talking elopement over in the stories! We seriously considered it but as you know we're now planning our smol and intimate wedding for the day and then a few more people for the dancing portion of the night. • • • Do you prefer intimate gatherings or you all about big parties?

None of us are strangers to overthinking and worrying and even you looked inside my head you would probably find large canvas painting of that wee cartoon dog sitting at a table drinking tea and smiling while the room is on fire. *chuckles in millennial existential crisis* The truth though is that I'm privileged to have a wonderful support network and the right tools to be able to grapple perspective back when those anxious thoughts kick. So I'm not waiting for permission for joy today, and I hope you don't either! • What are you not waiting on permission for today? • • Outfit: @asos P.s. thanks for all the kind comments on my outfit I am working really hard on expressing myself through fashion because I have the time to! #findyourjoy #asos #andigetdressed #asoslovescurves #dontwait (at Albufeira) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2bY2y0HKER/?igshid=ztz5mysnlzx5

It's amazing what a holiday mindset will reveal to you. While I was on the plane and reading @scottishweddingmagazine and then @rocknrollbridemagazine I felt a surge of confidence and a flurry of ideas on how to incorporate more of Bae and I's personalities into the wedding. At the end of the day it will be about love and the commitment we are making to this new chapter of life, but can we throw in some colour, 80s pop culture references, Disney, Fantasy Adventure and Sci-Fi fandoms along the way? Just watch us! • • What non traditional aspects would you include at a wedding or special event? #clashingprints #andigetdressed #asoslovescurves #asos #rocknrollbride (at Edinburgh Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Ywdo_nzdz/?igshid=1xyjqb0d4ynbf

Full disclosure, smiling despite running behind schedule, not getting my breakfast (hanger) and it generally being too early resulting in me being a proper grumpy, but I'm grateful that I have the privilege of a holiday, Bae at my side and that the plans will sell pringles! • • What are you grateful for?
