Dress Help!!!

lovetulips04

Hello Ladies!!
I may have major crisis. Me & my man went to wedding recently & my guy made a comment about her dress being not pretty, looks like curtains, etc. And now I am really worried he wont like mine because that dress & mine are really similar. Its a satin dress with tulle over lay with lace & hint of sparkle. The only major difference is hers is strapless ivory & mine is sold white with cap sleeves. Help!! What should I do exchange it or don't worry because my dress is my dress?!?!

He will love your dress because he loves you. Besides, similar dresses can look totally different on different women. Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it. I have absolutely never heard of a groom not liking a brides dress.

PPs are right.  He'll love you in whatever you turn up in, and will think you've never looked more beautiful.  I'm sure you're overthinking.

You will be the love of his life in your dress.  That was her dress.  It's just regular jitters....

Thank you ladies!! Good to know I'm not crazy but you are ladies are right, we loves me & will love whatever I wear. He wont even remember her dress!!!

Pretend you had no idea what he was going to be wearing - didn't know if it was a tux or a suit or a bow tie or a straight tie, vest/no vest.... would you really give a shit when you saw him waiting for you at the alter? Probs not. 

He's in love with you and will think YOU are beautiful.

A dress can look amazing on one woman while it can look like a disaster on another. Remember, we are all different and two women can wear the same dress with very different results. Wear your dress with confidence and I agree that he won't even remember her dress. Have a great day and don't worry.

Keep the dress.  But don't show him things if you don't want your feelings hurt/anxiety about planning.  Worried he'll think a tablecloth/whatever is too sparkly?  Don't show it to him and solicit the opinion.  I had a specific vision for my wedding, so I didn't have my mom/MIL join me when I picked out things like the chairs and centerpieces.  I knew it was what would make me happy, and I didn't want to end up second guessing things.

To many men, this would mean a night-and-day difference. Don't worry about it!

My fiance doesn't want to see my dress (as most grooms don't, I think, and I like keeping it a surprise), but I've been a little concerned he'll accidentally make some kind of comment that upsets me, or that he'll be disappointed since it's not a very traditional dress (i.e. not a strapless ball gown). So, I've make enough jokes and told him enough about the dress that he knows it's not pouffy, and it's not strapless.  (When I was dress shopping I texted him pics of random dresses I found online that were pink and super puffy and strapless...he's knows full well my dress is the opposite).  I feel much better about the situation!

Thank you ladies again!! I love my dress & I couldn't imagine wearing something different.
