Your Wedding, Your Way!
MODEL & BODY POSITIVITY AMBASSADOR, AMY TELLS ALL...
Amy is a professional model and body positivity ambassador. We’re her biggest fans here at Save the Date HQ and admire her mission to inspire and change up the wedding industry to represent all body types. We spoke with Amy all about how to feel good on your wedding day. Here’s what she had to say:
“As a bride, you feel like you’re constantly put under pressure to live up to people's expectations - but remember, it’s your wedding day. It’s about you and your partner. It's about your happiness. The aspiration to look good on our big day is obviously one that all of us dream about when we are a little girl, but when we come to actually thinking about what we want for our wedding and the style of dress, the makeup, the hair... it can sometimes get quite confusing and we can lose our self-esteem in the process.
So many times I have been told to not wear something purely because it’s not right for my size, or that I should have my hair up as it’s not flattering on me. But who's to say that is correct? People have an outlook that only certain people can wear certain things and this is just not true. I am on a mission to change the bridal industry and how they represent body types. It's not just one size fits all - we should have a representation of all women.”
“So hopefully, as society becomes more accepting, our personal views of our bodies change as well. It’s the daily conversations we have with our bodies that is super important so you can learn to love yourself more.
If you feel that you want to wear something fitted, a line, or even a leg split then go for it. You deserve to feel powerful and confident. Don't let society or people's opinions make you feel negatively about yourself and sway you away from making a choice that you actually want.
Working on this shoot was incredible, I felt like I could just go and be completely myself. It's a beautiful feeling to be surrounded by women who love you for what and who you are. Find your circle.”
