1. Try to visit the store with as few people as possible so you can remain focused.

2. Do not go with any preconceived ideas or judgments about dresses.

PATRICIA Caesar from Heavenly Bodies Bridal has years of experience helping brides to get the perfect gown for them. Her philosophy is to ensure that every bride leaves the boutique feeling beautiful, hence the company’s motto:

“Where Every Body Is Beautiful”

What makes the boutique unique is the one to one consultation that the bride receives. Just like when a superstar arrives in town to do their shopping and the store closes its doors to the public, HBB follows the same approach. Each bride gets exclusive run of the entire boutique for up to 2 hours during their consultation.

Patricia’s experience has enabled her to fully understand the needs of the plus sized bride and the number one issue they face is one of feeling uncomfortable amongst other shoppers in the normal wedding store. Another key issue that the HBB philosophy addresses is that of limited selection. If you’re lucky, a normal wedding store might have a couple of plus size dresses on display, HBB only has plus size dresses on display, allowing for an unparalleled range of choice and variety.
