My dress vs fh taste

Philippa, on June 29, 2020 at 9:38 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 17
So I love my dress and I definitely plan on wearing it for our wedding ceremony. I bought it with my mom and it's exactly what I wanted. BUT I know that if my fiancé could choose then he would have me wear a super sexy, see through, low back/deep v wedding dress. And I've told him that I don't want to wear something like that in front of my family and friends. Now I keep wondering if there is some other way I could give this to him? Like buy a second dress that's more his style and wear it as a surprise on the honeymoon? But then budget wise, I'd want to find something really cheap. Thoughts?

    Make sure you are comfortable with the dress on your wedding day. You don’t want to be fidgeting with the dress the entire day. And your dress is gorgeous by the way.


    Can you wear a sexy dress during the honeymoon? Not necessarily a wedding dress, but a formal one for a nice night out on the town.

    You picked a beautiful dress, I’d get some lingerie he’ll like for the wedding night rather than a dress you probably won’t really wear.
    My FH politely requested not a huge ball gown, which is exactly what our daughter picked for me. Ultimately, if I bought a huge ball gown he would have been fine with it and still told me I looked just as beautiful.

    I think it’s fine to get a sexy dress for the honeymoon but I wouldn’t get that kind of dress for your wedding especially if you’re uncomfortable.

    I don’t think you need to buy a dress that suits his taste. Most brides buy a dress they feel beautiful in themselves cause they will look beautiful in anything that day

    You could certainly wear a sexy white dress on the honeymoon... that would be fun. But it doesn’t have to be a bridal gown. There are plenty of cute white dresses out there.

    IDK about you, but I think the neckline with the illusion lace is quite sexy!

    I think it is nice you are taking into account his thoughts and I did too for my FH, I would just do a white lingerie piece made of lace that has that wedding effect. Plus I think your dress is gorgeous and the way it is hitting your curves, you have added the sex appeal. At best maybe get the front altered to be a bit lower but you need to love your dress more than him.

    Thank you!! I hope he will think the same. I'll take your and other posters advice and focus on the wedding lingerie - I guess I am just hoping to go for that sexy wow factor while not giving up the more innocent traditional white image that I think of with a wedding

    Girl it is your day so ultimately you need to go with the dress style you want, not his. You can factor in other things. So I know my FH doesn't like the mermaid look so I decided no on the mermaid still (that and I don't wanna pay too much in alterations) and for make up going more natural. That is a style I wanted but it is a nod to him as he does not like tons of make up or the glam look. I think there are other ways you can for sure give him what he likes but at the end of the day I am choose the dress I want and that I feel like a bride in. You should do the same because he will think you are beautiful either way.

    Thanks for the support, you're totally right. I'm probably just worrying too much since I have too much time on my hands! I love that you thought a lot about what mattered to your FH too!

    Nah it is ok. We want that wow factor and I get it, I over think too. I know as brides we want them to think we are beautiful and be wowed so your thoughts are natural. At the end of the day we are not going to dictate too much what they wear so they can't too much with us. I say save the sexiness for the wedding night. I think the wedding is the time to be elegant and classy. That is just me though lol.

    I promise you the last thing your FH is going to say - I wish she would've bought the dress which was even more super sexy and flaunted her body. He's only going to be looking at you and saying, this is the woman I love and can't wait to get her alone - you could be wearing a potato sack and he's still going to say the same thing.

    The dress you picked is beautiful AND sexy and leave a little room to the imagination (so if you must, wear something sexy beneath and whisper to him just after the ceremony that you're wearing xxxx underneath and can't wait for him to do xxxx).

    Either way, he's going to love what you're wearing and want to rip it off

    Girl I feel you. I feel like my FH would have preferred a more form fitting dress than what I bought.
    But while my fiancé asked if my dress shows off my booty, he never once requested a style or wanted to know anything about it.
    I wouldn’t buy a second wedding dress to surprise him with. Instead, I’d pay attention to the things that you know he likes and surprise him by wearing those pieces/styles consistently through your honeymoon. It shows that you pay attention and care about what he likes on a day to day versus a one day event. Just my two cents.

    I know you want to wear something that FH will like and I think all FH would love to see us in a dress like that. Being in front of family and friends and having to dance and move around you want to wear something comfortable. As PP get some sexy white lingerie for the wedding night and on your honeymoon you'll be wearing a lot of sexy dresses and lingerie. He'll get to see you in that stuff soon enough.
