Afraid that Groom Won’t Like My Dress

Natalia, on February 22, 2020 at 10:33 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 35
So, I just need to calm down some nerves related to my dress choice and I’m hoping someone out there can relate to my struggle. 😂
Shortly after getting engaged, I went dress shopping with my mom, grandma, and sister (MOH). After trying on three or four dresses, I found “the one.” It was a little different from what I initially had in mind, but I fell in love with it.

But my fiancé and I were recently at a bridal show, and different wedding dresses were showcased. He made comments about how he didn’t like lace, wasn’t a fan of ball gowns, didn’t know how how to feel about dresses with a lot of buttons, etc. throughout the show.
So basically, now I’m just afraid that he’s going to hate my dress 🤦🏻‍♀️😂and I’ve already had my bridesmaids assure me that he’s going to love me and think I’m beautiful in anything I wear. And my fiancé is super sweet and would never make comments about my dress after seeing me in it.
But has anyone else dealt with this feeling before? It is driving me crazy not showing him my dress! I just hope that he likes it. Sorry if I sound crazy... hopefully someone out there can relate!
I’ll attach pictures of my dress too Smiley smile (I ordered one size down and have not had alterations yet, so these were all the day I tried it on. Also, my sister was too lazy to button all the buttons 😂)

    Lol!! That would be my fear as well. You look stunning though so maybe he just needs to see you in it? I️ think That’s why I️ asked My FH what type of dress did he see me in. It gave me an idea of what he has envisioned.

    Thank you so much! ❤️And I think he definitely has a certain idea of what my dress might look like, and so did I up until I tried this one on. So I think it being different from what I had in mind is just freaking me out a little!

    You look stunning! He may say he doesn’t like those things but he hasn’t seen YOU in them! I bought a dress that has things that my fiancé mentioned he doesn’t like, but I’m 1000% confident that he will love me in it.

    I don't like super lacy dresses either, and I fell in love with a dress that has similar lace accents as yours. There is a very broad array of lace, some gorgeous and some not so much. You look stunning and elegant. Your fiance is marrying the woman in the dress, not the dress. Don't worry so much.

    Yes. I chose a gray dress and I'm worried since it's out there.


    Your dress is gorgeous.

    He might not like that type of lace, or he maybe just didn't like that dress in particular. My FH has watched a lot of Say yes to the dress and other wedding shows - god bless that man- but he still has zero idea what my dress will look like despite talking about it in front of him. I'm not even sure he knows what ivory means. Point is, he loves the woman in the dress, and more than likely on the day he'll have zero memory of saying he didn't like ballgowns. Because your beaming face will sell it all.

    Your dress is gorgeous! I have this fear too because he had always said he pictured me in a mermaid style dress whenever he had a dream about us getting married (be still my heart!) but I ended up buying a ball gown. Mermaid style dresses were not so flattering with my weight gain and I just felt very self conscious in it.


    I've actually told him my fear and he says I make anything look good and that as long as he gets to marry me he could care less about everything else. Your fiancé loves you and will find you beautiful matter what.

    This dress looks great on you! He’ll love it because he loves you! One day when watching SYTTD, FH said he didn’t like mermaid dresses, and that’s what I have! I know he’ll love it on me because he loves me, and I’m not just another random girl in a mermaid dress. 😊

    Yes I feel you. My FH said he doesn’t like ball gowns and I got a ball gown lol I think once he sees you it will be different and a special moment. Most men don’t remember stuff like that anyway.

    I think like everyone else has stated, he will love it because you are wearing it. With that being said have you taken fashion advice from him before? LOL I haven't discussed any parts of my dress with my FH. He only knows I bought one, and a veil. When I told him i bought a veil, he was like " you need a veil?". I told him its, not the type to cover your face. I really think he pictured an I dream of Jeanie type thing. All I said was yes, and laughed to myself.

    Your dress is amazing. There aren't a ton of buttons on your dress that actually button from what I see, and I do think he will love whatever you wear. Its an amazing, beautiful gown! I think he's going to love it too!

    Oh really omg situation.
    I think you should tell him or show him photographs instead of giving him heart attack (lols) on time of wedding.

    Also I forgot that you are looking awesome in the dress and I think your husband will like the dress.


    Also on the worst side (I don't think it gona happen) if your fiancé doesn't like it then he should buy you a new one 😌😊😁

    Giirrrlll, men don’t know $hit about what they want or like in a dress. They may talk some talk but the average fella really doesn’t care one way or another about the details.


    They care about their B R I D E. If you walk down that aisle full of confidence and a big smile on your face, he’ll see that dress as the most beautiful dress in the whole world because his dazzling almost wife is the one in it.
