When you're shopping for plus size wedding dresses in Spokane, you deserve to feel like the most important person in the room—not like you're settling for limited options or compromises. The truth? The bridal industry has historically made plus size and non-traditional brides feel like an afterthought, and we're here to tell you that's complete nonsense. Your body is beautiful, your style matters, and you deserve a dress that makes you feel like the absolute best version of yourself.
As a locally owned, woman-owned boutique, Honest in Ivory is the cure for the uncommon bride. We've built our entire philosophy around one simple truth: size inclusivity isn't a trend for 2026, it's a non-negotiable. We believe that every bride—whether you wear a size 00 or are looking specifically for sizes 18 to 32—deserves to walk into our shop, be swept into a dreamy appointment, and feel so seen, celebrated, and genuinely supported. That's why we've curated an exceptional collection of beautifully hand-picked gowns from Essense of Australia, a dreamy designer that understands that romantic, timeless elegance has no size limit.
Why Shopping for Plus Size Wedding Dresses Shouldn't Feel Like a Compromise
Let's be real: shopping for your wedding dress can feel daunting and overwhelming, but brides looking for plus sizes often face an additional layer of frustration. Limited selections. Designers who seem to have forgotten that bodies come in all shapes and sizes. Stylists who make you feel like you're asking for too much. We've heard these stories, and they break our hearts.
Here's what we know: you shouldn't have to travel hours, call dozens of boutiques, or settle for a dress that doesn't feel authentic to your style just because of your size. Your wedding dress should be a celebration of who you are. It should make you feel confident, beautiful, and genuinely validating to your personal style.
That's exactly why we've invested in building a complete bridal experience that caters to everybody, turning what can be a stressful process into a truly magical experience. We're not just offering options; we're offering an intimate shopping experience with stunning dresses that prove that plus size bridal fashion can be just as sophisticated and breathtaking as any other size.

Imagine walking into your reception and feeling completely, effortlessly elegant. That's the energy of Hannah Style D4304+, a breathtaking plus size satin ballgown that combines timeless elegance with contemporary flair in a way that feels so genuine.
Essense of Australia D4304+ The Strapless Satin Ballgown - Ballgown wedding dress with pleated satin
What we love about this gown? The strapless, straight-across neckline drapes beautifully over a structured bodice, creating a look that feels classic, romantic, and refined. Subtle seaming shapes the gown before meeting a voluminous pleated skirt at the hips—this is where the magic happens. The pleats create movement without feeling overwhelming. And here's a thoughtful detail that left us teary eyed: a row of fabric-covered buttons runs the length of the back, adding a traditional, sentimental touch that feels incredibly special.
Essense of Australia Presley The Cat-Eye Ballgown
Now, if you're the kind of bride who wants a look that is deeply romantic and refined, let us introduce you to Presley Style D4265+. This gown is absolutely stunning and brings a fresh perspective to traditional bridal design.
Essense of Australia D4265+ The Cat-Eye Ballgown - Ballgown wedding dress with luxurious Mikado
The strapless bodice features a chic scooped cat-eye neckline—a detail that feels both modern and timeless. From the defined Basque waist, sculpted pleats unfold into a voluminous ballgown skirt that creates a truly breathtaking effect. The luxurious Mikado fabric drapes beautifully and feels incredible to wear. And yes, there are those fabric-covered buttons running from the bodice to the hem of the train, adding a wholesome sophistication that makes you feel as special and beautiful as your future spouse sees you.
Essense of Australia Esmeralda The A-Line with Floral Lace
If ballgowns aren't your vibe, we need to talk about Esmeralda Style D4407+. This strapless A-line design channels natural beauty with a fresh sensibility that feels both timeless and current.
The boned corset is richly decorated with oversized floral lace appliqués that add depth and artistry to the sleek construction. A soft sweetheart neckline highlights your natural glow, while the gently elongated waistline transitions effortlessly into the Mikado skirt. The result? A graceful A-line silhouette that fuses soft lace with a fresh, modern look. This dress proves that elegant simplicity is sometimes exactly what you need to leave you glowing.
Essense of Australia Emery The Romantic Organza Ballgown
And then there's Emery Style D4158+—a gown that brings wholesome, traditional romance to life. This plus size wedding gown is for every bride who wants to feel completely enveloped in love and beauty on her wedding day.
The strapless scoop neckline bodice features vertical contouring seams that complement the timeless Basque waist. The back showcases a classic lace-up detail that adds a hint of vintage elegance. But here's where we really fell in love: the voluminous ballgown skirt sweeps in soft lace, tulle, and chiffon-like textured organza and comes complete with discrete pockets. Because you deserve thoughtful details that make sense for your day. The train adds beautiful movement, and the overall effect is an ultra-romantic ballgown that balances contemporary design with classic bridal charm.
