    The dress is beautiful! And he will think you look beautiful regardless. Wear a dress you LOVE and feel like a bride in and that will show through! We all want to wear something that our fiances are going to like but if you love it, hell see that and its true that the dress looks completely different on! I say keep it! :) BTW my dress is crystals and tulle also! Beautiful choice! :)

    i love the dress and i can see why you would too.  I can also see why a guy wouldnt.  But again hes not wearing it, maybe take a layer or two off the bottom but really id keep it and say tough love

    I had a conversation tonight with a woman who - when she got married years ago - went along with her husband's wishes and bought a "traditional" dress that he preferred instead of the very non-traditional dress that she really wanted.  But in order to make him happy she wore a traditional dress.  She literally said to me, "I never even had my wedding photos developed because I hated my dress so much." 

    The moral of the story is to do what makes YOU happy and he will love you regardless.  The important thing isn't what you're wearing but that you're there at all, be sure to remind him of that.

    If you dropped $2500 down on a dress and they can't change your order, there is a serious problem! Most places that work with that kind of money are more than willing to do whatever is necessary to make their customers happy. It is a beautiful dress. And I agree that you should get what you want. I also agree that it was mean of your fiance to say that to you. We are on a budget for our wedding but when it came to my dress and bouquet, mine told me to get whatever I wanted because he knows those are two of the most important things for a woman. This is your day and I am sure you have been dreaming of it for a long time. Make sure you have what you love. You will be looking at pictures for a long time and you don't want to have any regrets.

    I agree!  Most men will say they don't like a style, but they don't really know!  He is not going to care what it looks like.  If he really does, and you really want to change it, I am sure the store will let you make a change if it hasn't been too long since you ordered.

    Don't let something like this stress you out - be sure YOU feel beautiful, and he will not even be looking at the dress, he will be looking at you glowing in the dress!

    Good luck, mama!

    Obviously, you are wearing it, not him. He doesn't have to like it.
    I'm sure he didn't mean for his comments to hurt you. He may have been thinking that there was so much going on with the dress that it will distract from you when you wear it.

    The only thing that matters is that you feel gorgeous in the dress. Everyone will be looking at you and fawning over you, so wear something that makes you feel like a princess. It was unfair of him to say that, and everyone else is correct in saying that it will look totally different on you than it does on the mannequin. If that is the dress that you are in love with, then go with that dress. Chances are that your fiancee will think you look beautiful in anything you decide to wear. And if he doesn't, thats his problem. Everyone else will think and tell you that you look beautiful. Don't worry about your fiancee. Mine saw a pic of my dress and didn't like it either. (He doesn't know its the dress I picked.) I'm not worrying about it, because I love the way it makes me feel. Like I said earlier, if the dress makes you feel like a princess, then don't choose something else. You will end up regretting it.

    The dress that you wear should not affect his day, and it certainly doesn't change the fact that he's marrying you. If you love it, then he should love it. I know that it must be difficult for you to view it the same way now that he has expressed that he doesn't like it, but it's your dress. It changes nothing about you. You're allowed to wear whatever makes YOU feel beautiful, and this wedding is your chance to profess to each other that you will love each other no matter WHAT! In sickness and health, and in rhinestones and tulle damnit.

    Not to mention... what the hell do guys know about dresses, anyway? Tell him to leave it up to you. It was unfair of him to tell you that he doesn't like your dress.

    [QUOTE]I'm sure he will think you look gorgeous in it the day of your wedding. Many times, men (and women) can't really tell what a dress is going to look like on a person, until someone puts it on. My FI refuses to tell me what he thinks of ANY dresses when I show them to him on the computer (I haven't shown him mine), because he is scared that it is the one I got and he will say something rude about it. I think your FI was being a little mean to do this to you.

    This, big time. Your FI sounds pretty insensitive IMO.

    JEEZE!!!  What is with these men?!  It is too bad he saw it before the wedding day. He wouldn't have dared to tell you that on THE day. Sometimes they don't realize how great you will look when you actually have it on with the veil etc. If it is bothering you a bunch, I would talk to the bridal shop and see if you can apply the dep to another dress. And if you get a different one...do NOT let the FI see it!!  Good luck!
