So…I guess I need to start explaining right? My name is Tracey, and I am a Graphic Designer, avid dog lover, weirdo, nerd, makeup lover, craft fanatic, movie connoisseur and an all-round every girl. I want to share my journey with you all, through life and love, and through how I overcame a great deal of stigma when it comes to being a Plus Size Bride. Mind you, not all of my posts with be a commentary on the difficulties of plus size bridedome. I want to share with you all my DIY tips for all things bridal, and all things life.

From a very early age I was a ‘big’ girl. I was teased and ridiculed all throughout primary education and high school. Even now at the ripe age of 27 I still get heckled for being overweight. With the stigma around plus size women ever growing it was hard to see myself as beautiful. If you are ‘fat’ you can’t be beautiful. It took me a long time to realise that I can’t rely on others to define my beauty and that I need to acknowledge within myself that in my own way, I am. I think that is one of the big reasons I wanted to start this blog, and share life experiences with all of you out there on the world wide web. I want all women to see themselves as beautiful, not matter what size, shape or ethnicity you may be. I want to help you to see that the flaws that you see in yourself are what makes you unique and a truly beautiful human being.

I also want to talk about trivial things like, getting the right table cloths for your bridal table and how to choose the right photographer, but we will get to that. I want to be here to share my journey and to hear about yours as well.

I will always have comments available on all of my posts for questions and queries, and even if you want to disagree with me when I bring up more amiable topics. I want to hear from you all, because there is not point talking to the world wide web, if it doesn’t talk back.

Let’s be Beautiful Beasts together
