No one liked my dress....

It is a beautiful gown!

don't choose a dress for someone else other than yourself because you are the one that has to wear it and at the end of the day they would still think you are pretty.

i think it is only because everyone has their own personal style so just because they might not prefer it, doesn't mean they don't think you aren't pretty in it.

Im so sorry no one was supportive of your pick! You should choose the dress that makes YOU feel happy! You SHOULD be the most beautiful person at your wedding, you're the bride!! If they continue to hurt your feelings about it, maybe call them out for not being supportive of something you obviously love! My mom wasn't that happy about my dress choice either, but thats not a surprise for me. Do whatever makes you happiest, its your day not theirs! ❤❤❤ good luck!

If you liked it, it’s perfect. With the right undergarments and a fitting for you they’ll change their minds.

I think it looks great! Sometimes people have different opinions and I think at times it just comes out the wrong way. There’s no question that the dress does look good on you. Maybe they were just trying to see different looks on you or maybe they had a vision in their head of what they thought you were going to wear and that may have been completely different from what you actually picked out. But I think most important thing is that you love the dress because the last thing you want is to feel uncomfortable in a dress that other people chose for you.

Story time!!! When my best friend chose her wedding gown, I reacted the same way. I just didn’t like it on her. I thought she had tried on dresses that were more beautiful on her. But then her wedding day came and when she had the complete look all pulled together....hair, makeup, jewelry....she was absolutely breathtaking. I even told her after I wasn’t crazy about her dress when she went for fittings and all but LOVED it on her on her wedding day. You will look beautiful. If you love it, that’s what matters and keep that in your head the entire time. People have different tastes but that shouldn’t matter because you know what you like and what your FH will like. And I’m sure it’s perfect!

Once it’s altered to fit you and you’re all done up on your wedding day they’ll have a different opinion, not that their opinion matters anyway.


After the fact, my sister in law told me “when you first showed us (her and my MIL) your dress (in a text) we thought why did she pick that one? And then you stepped out to walk down the aisle and I though oh that’s why she picked that one.”
And if they don’t have a different opinion come wedding day we’ll poo on them. All that matters is your happy and think you look beautiful and FH thinks you look beautiful!

The dress should wear you and not the other way around. The dress should not be more beautiful than you it should bring out your natural beauty. If the dress outshines you, no one will look at you and only focus on the dress.


Stop worrying about other people, if you like / love the dress that’s all that matters!

View Quoted Comment I love this and completely agree!

If you LOVE it, get it.


I tried on dresses with my mom & friend, kinda liked one I was going to try and customize, but I wasn’t feeling it either. When I tried on The One by myself I smiled BIG and sent a pic to them. They replied, “that’s you!” and I got it that weekend.

If your goal is to please everyone else, then you’ll probably need multiple dresses. But, as long as you love the dress, then it’s perfect! I mean, imagine buying a dress that everyone else loved but you didn’t. That would suck! But, on the wedding day when you’re all put together, from head to toe, I guarantee that you’ll receive all of the compliments that you’re seeking.
