Casting Call- Twin Cities Plus Size Models

Happy Monday, Bombshells! Hope you had a great weekend and are geared up for the week ahead.  If you're a plus size woman who currently is a model, or would like to dip your toes into plus size modeling, I've got a great opportunity for you.

Luxe Bridal's plus size wedding gowns will be featured in the Twin Cities Bridal Show's runway show. This is a pretty big deal because for the past few years, the runway show refused to include plus size wedding gowns in their lineup. They've finally seen the light and are creating a more inclusive, exciting experience for the Twin Cities brides who attend the show.

I was there last year, as a live model for Luxe. This was an innovative way that the boutique's owner,  Shayna Clute, came up with for creating a lot of buzz about her boutique while also providing something special for the plus size brides who were visiting the bridal fair.

Like I said, I had a really fun time and met some terrific people at the show.  And it was also really gratifying to see the plus size brides - many of whom had that look on their face that said, "My excitement over wedding planning is diminishing because I don't see any dresses that will fit me" - light up when they came across the Luxe booth.
