Dress regrets?!

Dress regrets?! 1

Dress regrets?! 2

Dress regrets?! 3
Hey lovelies! Maybe I just need to be talked off the ledge, but the day after I bought my dress (1) my FH made reference to the fact that he knew I wouldn't buy a dress with a lot of "poof". Well low and behold I had just bought a ballgown dress, and now I'm so worried he'll hate what I look like walking down the aisle! Should I try to return and go for a fit and flair? Will I always regret this ball gown? The anxiety is real. 😣

    That dress you got is gorgeous. Honestly they’re not going to hate it. Because you’re gonna be beautiful and they won’t even care about the details of the dress they’ll just be seeing you

    As soon as I saw the first dress, I thought "wow." He doesn't know what he's saying . . . he's going to eat those words and be totally blown away. You made the right choice!

    Your dress is lovely !!! I think his comment was more about what he thinks your style choice would be like not that he wouldnt like to see you in one. And even if he didn’t like ball gowns you look gorgeous in it and all hell really care about us being there with the love of his life.

    I wouldn't especially if you love this dress. I asked my husband what he thought my dress would look like and he said he didn't think I'd wear a ballgown. He was totally wrong. I absolutely love ballgowns. He also said he didn't care if I wore a brown bag because he would think I look beautiful no matter what. I am sure your fiance will only care that he is marrying the woman he loves and that you love your dress. Also, your dress is gorgeous.

    He will love how you look regardless and think you're beautiful. Only return it if you do not like it not because of a comment he made.

    Agree that your dress is amazing!! Sounds like he thinks maybe that is not your style, not that he wouldn’t like it. He will love anything you wear, and how you feel in that dress will shine through on your day. Ball gown for sure Smiley heart

    Trust your gut. Besides, when most guys think “ballgown” it’s a huge dress. Yours is more like a full A-line, which is a popular silhouette. A traditional ballgown is more like a giant bell that flairs out at the waist.

    He has a picture of a model in his head. You’re dress is beautiful and he’ll be blown away on your wedding day.

    Out of all the pictures posted, the ball gown is actually my favorite!

    I am sure he wouldn't care what style dress you wear, he will love it no matter what! Even better for a surprise value for him, he has no idea what you picked. Smiley smile

    I was worried my FH knows what style i picked and i want him to be completely shocked. I think everything will be perfect!

    No way! You shine in that ball gown!
    My fiancé always said the same thing and I too got a ball gown with a similar skirt (great minds think alike) 😊

    I think it’s gorgeous! I have a very similar skirt and it’s so fun and flouncy, I know I wouldn’t have as much fun (or feel as comfy in) a fit and flare. But that’s just me!

    I think he would love anything you wear. The ball gown is beautiful and if you love it that's what matters

    I don't think any man thinks his bride is ugly on the wedding day. If one does, they should not be at the other end of the alter. I think you will be fine but you should probably delete the other dress pictures and stop looking at wedding dress altogether.

    As long as you fell in love with the dress you picked, then Keep it and surprise him when you walk down. I'm sure he would think your beautiful either way.

    I like the first picture the best! It looks like it fits you perfectly!

    I actually remember this happening to my best friend in college. She had just bought her dress which was a fit and flare with a side swept train. Her now husband and her were talking and he mentioned how he hated mermaid dresses (his words). She was so deflated that she had picked this off the rack dress and freaked out about how he was going to hate it the day of the wedding.

    Fast forward, I don't think anything of the sort went through his mind the day of the wedding. She was beautiful, he was happy, it was great. I'd say, don't worry about it. If you love it, that will show all over your face when you see him. He'll see you glowing and not think twice!
