Are you showing your dress to people?

MrsBest2B, on July 5, 2015 at 6:29 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 30

I've pretty much been showing my dress to everyone that asks. I don't care who sees it. It's a year away I feel like most people won't even really remember but my mom was freaking out telling me anyone invited shouldn't see it and anyone that has asked her she says no. Of course I don't want FH to see but don't feel strongly about it for anyone else. Now I feel like maybe I shouldn't have? Too late now anyway I've shown a lot of people who will be invited

    I've shown people, I don't care. I only have a picture of me when I first tried it on and it was clasped onto me..it won't look the same once it actually fits.

    I like a big surprise, so I haven't shown too many people, but that's just me

    I showed the pictures of me in the store with an ivory sample that was way small around, but not my dress if I remember. Nobody will remember it anyway.

    FutureMrsLelelis that's how I feel. Same thing it was me in a sample which they actually ordered to same size because it fit my hips. It was way too big on top. I figure once I lose weight (fingers crossed) and its fitted to me and my hair and makeup is all done up it'll looked totally different anyway

    I have shown it to my bridal party, some of my aunts that im super close to, a few extra friends that im super close with, and then a few co workers that im not close to that wont even be at the wedding (they just asked if i had a pic). Otherwise, im not showing anyone. I personally want my dress to be a surprise. My mom and his step mom have told most of our family all of our other decisions, so I figured this was one i can keep to myself.

    My mom was with me when I picked my dress. Other than her, I only showed my dress to my bridesmaids and the MOG. They were the only ones to see it before the wedding.

    No one has seen mine but the staff at the shop. I don't even have a photo of me in it.

    I had shown mine to my parents because I was states away when I purchased it... they did end up showing it to their coworkers. Looking back, I think I would have said not to show anyone. But oh well, it isn't anything to sweat about. No matter what, you will be more beautiful in person with it on. I can guarantee that. Smiley smile

    No one aside from my mom when I bought it almost 2 years ago. Hell, I cannot even remember what it looks like and I do not have a photo of it.

    I've basically shown everyone except my FH. He adamantly does not want to see it lol. Seeing a pic of it and seeing me in it all dolled up are two different things.

    I have shown a few people but don't have a picture of me in it so they haven't actually seen it on me.

    I haven't really shown it to anyone except close family members when i first got it. I showed my coworkers some pics of a dress I was possibly going to buy and they blasted it. I was pretty taken back by the rudeness so I decided not to subject myself to any more of it lol.

    I have shown lots of people my dress but it's still far out. I don't think I will show it once I get it altered and everything. I want to have a little bit of a surprise!

    I showed mine to my bridal party and my stepmom. My mom showed it to my sister and my aunt, and I don't know if she showed to anyone else before I asked her to stop! That's enough people seeing it in advance! I definitely don't want my FH to see it so I want to be more careful.

    Lots of people show their dresses. I was at Ikea one day, saw a woman getting candles for the wedding, and she showed me her dress on her phone pictures Smiley smile I was all into keeping my dress a secret, and I changed my mind while making it so many times it wouldn't have been a point of showing people anyhow. Do whatever you like. You are the brideSmiley smile

    If I ever find a dress, I'll likely show my Mom, sister, and grandma. Date twin, I'm starting to stress! I need to start looking again....

    I have shown it to most people who ask; when I first got it, my mom sent pictures to everyone and at the time I was kind of disappointed because I wanted it to be a surprise, but that was two years ago, almost everyone she showed has forgotten, and I figure it won't look the same the day of anyway - I also changed it a bit and added stuff so it will still be a surprise Smiley smile

    JamieLynn I think you still have plenty of time don't stress. I found mine in April and they said it would take 9 months to come in so I should order right away...It'll be here in September, not quite 9 months. I don't even know where I'm gonna put it! I wasn't planning on purchasing until now or the fall, just found the dress I had to have a little early
