will your fiance love your gown?

lilkimber

Anyone worry that their fiance won't like the wedding gown they have chosen?  I love my gown, and I'm pretty sure he will like it, but I've been watching some wedding shows and some brides take their fiance with them gown shopping.  Some of these grooms have said things about the dresses their brides have tried on like "you know, you have this picture in your head about what things are going to be like,"  so now I'm worried that he won't like it because it's not what he "visioned."  Anyone else worry about this?

I worry about that every now and then, but my dress was the first one I tried on and I knew it was my dress. I tried on another one and looked at a lot of others but it was definitely the one, and I know him so well and I know he'll love it. I think most brides probably worry about that but I'm sure you know what he'll like and you know what looks good on you. Good luck!

I'm not too worried about this...I think our Fi's will see us and forget about what they thought we would look like and be amazed with how beautiful we are that day.This being said, there are two dresses I'm trying to decide between...one of the dresses shows off my body more, and I feel like FI might choose that one if he got to help me.  I'm leaning towards the other dress, which is a little bit more "me".

I never worry about that, but I understand why many people are anxious about their FI's opinion of the dress.  I have never heard of a FI "hating" his bride's dress.  If you feel comfortable in the dress, it will show as you walk down the aisle.  It's not just the dress.  Your hair will be done; your makeup will be perfect.  You will blow him away and doesn't matter what you choose.  That being said, I didn't consider a dress with lace because I know my FI isn't a big fan of lace, but other than that, I don't think he really cares.

If you love your dress and feel good in it, then it will show. Unless your fiance is a fashion designer I wouldn't worry about it. Feeling good about yourself in the dress will make you shine.

I don't owrry about that either. I know that I could walk down that aisle in a brown paper bag with my hair a mess and no makeup on and he would still love me and think I was the most beautiful girl in the room. Of course I want to look perfect (and I will) but I don't worry about him not liking my dress because I know whatever I choose he will LOVE it

I don't worry about him not liking it. But I have what I consider a fairly simple gown. If I gotten something more abstract and elaborate I think I could see myself being a little worried that it was too "weird" and not obviously pretty.

My FI looks at dresses with me on websites, so I know what he likes. His only request was to not get a boring dress. I'm a pretty funky dresser and I have a modified mo-hawk (letting it grow out some for wedding) so something too boring would be a disappointment to him.

There are so many other things to worry about that that one hasn't even crossed my mind! I know that even if I walked down the aisle in a burlap sack my FI would think that I was the most gorgeous woman in the world. The advice that I got from my bridal consultant was that you should go with a dress that fits your personality and it will have the "wow" factor if it highlights who you really are. (For example, I am the "Audrey Hepburn/Breakfast at Tiffany's" type of girl, so I didn't go for a fru-fru poofy dress because it just didn't "feel right" on me. FI will probably expect to see me in a dress similar to the one that I picked because it fits my personality.) Don't stress over it...he will think you look beautiful regardless of what you wear! The most important thing is that you FEEL stunning in it and then everyone else will see that you are.

Nope.  FI has seen pictures of me in it and loves it.  No worries at all!

let me guess..you watched say yes to the dress last night?? haha, I think that's a big reason why you should not bring your FI dress shopping. If that guy had seen the dress for the first time on the day of the wedding, he would have though it was perfect. I know my FI will love mine!

FI and I have very different tastes. He's really contemporary and I'm more antique. I asked him about this the other day and he said he doesn't care what I'm wearing. If I'm happy and comfortable in it, then it will be perfect. And he continued by saying he will probably be so caught up in the excitement and the emotion of the day that he will just be so excited to see me and have me become his wife- regardless of what I'm wearing.

My guys is super picky and doesn't think girls look there best in a big white dress. I was worried about mine too (he doesn't like poof or beading or trains and mine had all of that). I just went with a dress I loved. On the wedding day, he said it was great. I believe him. When it's actually on you, he'll love it because he loves you:)

OFF

Nope I have no worries. I know I look awesome in the gown and he's not that picky or into fashion to really care about the dress itself. As long as I'm happy and he can see my cleavage he'll be happy with the dress.

He is all about the surprise. I'd totally have picked it out with him but HE wants it to be a surprise and won't even listen to any details LOL. I know that he likes the idea of a sexy dress, so more like a trumpet with a corset back, so I'm not sure that he will love my ballgown with lace, but I went with a gorgeous, class dress... and I know he will be so happy on that day that, really, my dress itself won't matter to him.

OH man - I am terrified terrified about this!! He is SO picky. When we watch all of the wedding shows, he hates mosts of them, so yah I am freaking. It was very hard because when I was trying them on, I never got the "ah ha" moment. We are probably just acting crazy, huh

I haven't gone dress shopping yet but I am worried that this might happen. I have been putting pictures of dresses in a binder and saving them on the computer and having my FI tell me what ones he doesn't like and what he doesn't like about them. My fear is that because he seems to be so much more picky about what he likes than I am that he might not like what I choose.Furthermore, even though I know some of the things he doesn't like, I am worried that I will try on a dress that I absolutely love and then realize that there is an aspect of it that he said before he didn't like.I like to tell myself that it doesn't matter because on the day of the wedding he is going to think I look beautiful no matter what and I'm sure your FI will be that way

I have never thought of this until now but, no I'm not worried at all. He knows nothing about fashion and I don't think he would ever have a preference of what my dress looked like.

fyrelle74

I'm not worried...I felt my FI out on the kinds of dresses he liked and didn't like...he didn't like some of the gowns I did, but I soon figured out the stuff we could both agree on, after all I want him to love my dress as much as I do..I learned he doesn't really like a lot of lace, a lot of appliques or sparklies...his tastes were more simple. Which was fine with me, it helped me eliminate a few choices, but for the most part we had very similar tastes..however, I won't let him see me in the dress until i walk down the aisle and I know he'd love me in anything..even if I showed up in something covered in lacey sparkles and big gaudy appliques from head to toe  

cazzysmith

if you love it, that's what matters!  You probably look fabulous in it and he'll be excited to see you in it.  I wouldn't worry!Personally, my FI insists on not seeing mine before the walk down the aisle, so he should have no expectations and I wouldn't dream of trying to please him w/ my dress choice.

pristinedemon

I'm only worried about it because FI is a micromanager. He's picker than I am when it comes to this wedding. Then again, I seriously doubt he, or any other groom for that matter, would look at his bride on their wedding day and tell her he doesn't like her dress. FI says he doesn't care if I show up in a burlap sack, as long as I show up. And really, it boils down to you two getting married, that's the important thing, and that's what will take precedence.

I know that no matter what I wear, if I am comfortable and think that I look good I will be confident, and confidence is what makes me attractive to my future hubby.  With that in mind, I did choose a gown that I adore, but is very.. va va va voom (for our non-traditional wedding a historic brewery) - I'm pretty sure that all other things aside, he would like it!

First off, when guys look at magazines and pictures of dresses, they really aren't looking at just the dress. I did this with my FH and the "dresses" he liked were modeled by girls that look like me and a few times he even jokingly said, "does that girl come with it?" so when you have them look at pictures they look at the whole person wearing the dress (make-up, hair, etc.) When you look at dresses it is the same concept, you have to consider the whole picture and make sure it is somthing that represents YOU! When I found my dress, I felt like me in it. Some dresses made me feel like a different person and I know my FH wants to marry me for me and probably doesn't want me to look like someonelse on our wedding day! Like other people have said, they are going to think you are the most beautiful girl ever no matter what. When I tried on dresses, I did think about if he would like certain dresses or not and my mom pointed out that the only thing he will probably care about is how hard it is to get off of you! (and of course mine has tiny buttons down my back which he is going to hate undoing, but I love the dress!) As long as you feel pretty and confident, that is all that matters, he is not marrying you for your fashion sense, he is marrying you for who you are as a person!
