Did you take your partners taste into consideration when buying your dress?

Oh geeze! Yes and no... I know he loves pearls and backless dresses; so I made sure it was both! The rest was my decision.

I'm sorry. That must have been horrible. Yes, I did. He wanted mermaid style with my shoulders out so I found one that I loved. I'm so self conscious of my body and I thought I would hate a fitted dress but I love my dress.

Dang I'm sorry that happened to you. Are you able to return it and buy a new one?


The only thing my husband said he wanted about the dress was that it not be strapless, he didn't want it to look too tube-top-like. The dress I bought was strapless but I had them create straps to match the material of the dress. He said he really liked it and thought the straps were tasteful lol. I did have nightmares before my dress came in that it would arrive without the straps lol so that one restriction he had drove me nuts.

I"m trying to sell it but I did buy a new one. Luckily for me I have a friend who works in the dress industry and she got me the hook up super quick!

So I was watching an episode of Four Weddings, I know cheesy, but anyway one of the brides was wearing my dress. So I plopped my fiancé down to watch that episode one day so he could see what goes into planning a wedding cause I’m doing it all and he commented that he liked that dress! I’m beamed inside. I was doubting my dress choice prior.

No because you should wear what you love that flatters your figure. Your spouse will love you in anything.

Nope, not at all LOL My fiancé and my’s taste in fashion could not be more opposite! He knew right from the start that whatever I chose would probably be the opposite of what he would imagine as an “ideal wedding dress”, and he is totally OK with that. He just said he wants me to be me and pick out whatever I love, because no matter what it is he is going to think I look beautiful 🖤 Just for fun though, I had him look at a series of wedding dresses online with me & say yes or no whether he liked them. Unknown to him, I had already fallen in love with a dress & was dead set on getting it as long as I liked the way it fit on me- So I included a photo of that dress in the ones I showed him, just to see what he’d say. When he saw it he said no LOL And I laughed a little inside knowing that was the dress I would probably show up in. Him saying he didnt like it didn’t make me waiver on my decision one bit though. Then, about three dresses later, he said “go back a few”. I scrolled back, and he told me to stop on MY dress. He was like “actually, that one’s pretty bad ass”. I laughed and I asked why he had said no at first, and he said it was just so different and not like a typical “wedding dress”, so he said no. But for some reason he kept thinking about it. That was when I was pretty darn sure it was going to be my dress! The fact that it was the opposite of everything else he picked out, but for some reason he couldn’t stop thinking about it and kept coming back to it... it was meant to be mine. So, in the end, yes I did get a dress my fiancé likes. But, it was totally on accident! LOL I would have gotten that dress whether he hated it or not!

Yes and no, thankfully, he isn't picky. He dislikes bell sleeves. He does like backless dresses but I'm a 32DD And theres no way I want to risk relying on one of those breast supports.

See this is the exact opposite of us haha! I thought he would want a elegant dress as we are getting married in a Catholic church and he is very formal (he's 14 years older than me) and his family is extremely traditional. Turns out he wanted me in something tight and lace - which is 100% my style! He was like "you're hot why wouldn't I want to show you off??" made me laugh so hard that I got his "wishes" so wrong lol

It was already so challenging to find a dress that fits my figure, so no. I think he would not care if I dress in a street clothing either. He originally wanted to be in shorts pants and short shirts. I told him to wear whatever he wants, just don’t make the wedding pictures looks like a bride is posing with a bystander. He knows I spent thousands of dollars for my outfit. He luckily agreed and bought long shirt and long pants. I saw it and I like him in it. My outfit would be a surprise for everyone beside my besties and bridesmaids.

View Quoted Comment Haha! It just goes to show, you should always choose what makes you happy! I swear, every time I have tried to anticipate a guy’s choice/reaction to anything fashion, hair or makeup related, it is always wrong 😆 I have just given up even trying!

Nope, not at all! I got the dress that flattered my figure,and I knew that my husband would love me in anything that made me feel beautiful.

Im sorry that happened! I haven't bought my dress yet but to a certain degree I will choose something I know he would like to see me in but also something I feel comfortable in and that suits my body type

Omg my goodness 😂😂😂 wow!
Not at all, I picked what I liked. I honestly don’t think he really cares as long as the girls on display lol

I got what I wanted. I tried asking what my husband after I got it what he thought my dress would look like and he said he wasn't sure, but it would matter because I would be beautiful no matter what. He also said he didn't think I liked ballgowns so he didn't think it would be a ballgown. He couldn't have been more wrong. I love ballgowns and that's exactly what I wore. He thought I looked beautiful.

No not at all LOL it's my dress

I think that almost all husbands won't care about the details of the dress-it's the "moment" when you're all glammed up and feeling gorgeous as a bride.

I bought a dress that I loved. After the fact, he told me he hopes I got a tight dress, so it all worked out since I had a lace fit and flare. I wanted a dress I felt beautiful in, and I knew my husband would love me in whatever dress I chose because he would see how confident and pretty it made me feel.

I've never really thought about it that way if I'm being honest. Like, my fiance loves the way I dress up, so I knew anything I chose that I felt confident in he would like. My fiance didn't want any hints as to what my dress would look like, he wants it to be a complete surprise. But once I decided on my dress and I felt like I had family try to talk me out of it, I told them no because I love it, I look fantastic in it, and I KNOW my fiance will love it. I also know that anything that accentuates my curves he will love, so to answer your question, in a way but not really.

So here is what I did and why.


I am very self-conscious because of my last relationship so my husband (groom) always helps me and encourages me when I dress for clothing. He has amazing taste and I don’t think he has ever picked anything that I feel horrible in. So when we got engaged, he sat down with me at the computer and we went through wedding dress sites and just got some ideas on what we both liked. I then went and tried on dresses by myself. I picked out about 10 similar styles that I really liked and felt good in. I then brought back pictures from the site (not me) and showed him. He took out about half that he didn’t care for. I then went in with my mom, ate-dad and MIL and tried on those dresses (plus a few my entourage picked out) and I chose from those.
He absolutely beamed when I walked down the aisle. He doesn’t remember seeing the dress in pictures but he loved it! I am so glad I did it this way as it made me not have any doubts in my mind leading up to the wedding.
