Emma says the highlight was flying in a <a title=\"Transport suppliers\" href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/WeddingCars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">helicopter<\/a> to a mountain top for bridal party photos. \u201cIt was so freezing up there but we had the best time and the photos are so worth it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emma, who says it was hard to come by plus-size models in wedding magazines when looking for inspiration, says she hopes to inspire other brides with her story. \u201cI made it my mission to prove that no matter what your size, you can look your absolute best on your wedding day,\u201d she says. \u201cI felt like the most beautiful bride ever and I would love to in some way inspire other girls who may be feeling like I did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of
