This is so Hard: Fiancè might not love my dress

Michelle, on August 23, 2019 at 10:50 PM

Posted in Wedding Attire 226

THIS IS A LONG ONE LOL...Sooooo I'm the bride that has done so much research on what I want exactly in a dress. I'm talking walk in the store like a bad ass like "I like this type of silhouette, with crepe or tulle material, I like a deep V-neck with straps, no ball gowns and no fancy lace" like I'm...
THIS IS A LONG ONE LOL...Sooooo I'm the bride that has done so much research on what I want exactly in a dress. I'm talking walk in the store like a bad ass like "I like this type of silhouette, with crepe or tulle material, I like a deep V-neck with straps, no ball gowns and no fancy lace" like I'm prepared! Had a whole spreadsheet lol. I get to the store and fall in love with a dress that is COMPLETELY OPPOSITE of what I asked for but that's ok because I was open to trying others. I never wanted a mermaid because I really want to dance. I have always known that I did want a clean, sleek, mordern SIMPLE dress. That's me, that's my style! Long story short...my family DOESN'T LIKE THE DRESS...they think it's not enough and doesn't have that wow factor 😔 They're accepting of it but I know they wish I wanted more from a dress. My mom is very supportive of me now that she understands what I like but it was tough.

Butttttt I'm not winning over anybody and my fiance is included in the anybody. I asked what type of dress he might like to see me in and he straight said "something that's in between" lol we're both simple people but he wants us to look like celebrities on our special day and I totally agree. Then he goes "nothing plain, I mean who wants a plain dress right" 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️😫🤪😟😬😢🥴 MEEEEEE I do I dooooo...I almost died lol. I just laughed right along like I know right LOL! Now I don't know if I should get it. My man has to love it right? I know he'll love me in anything but still I want him to have the look like OHHHH YEAHHHHH! I know it's what I want BUT I want people to at least say OMG she looks stunning! So now I'm trying all these other dresses and I can't decide. Should I step out my comfort zone? I need guidance guys...What are your thoughts?

    First, you look STUNNING in the dress! 2nd, your man is going to think you look gorgeous in anything you wear. However, for me personally, I couldn't buy a dress unless I could see my man crying when I walked down the aisle. When I picked out my dress, the only person whose opinion I care about is his so if I didn't think he'd like it/be disappointed/ not good enough to bring to tears, then this ain't the right dress. Other brides may say that the only thing that matters is how you feel in the dress and that is completely understandable. If that is you, then you should stick with the dress you love. If you are more like me, then I would keep looking to find both a dress I love that will also bring him to his knees! Lol

    The dress looks beautiful on you. You can always add a nice head piece, bling veil and jewelry to compliment the dress. Don’t worry about what others think you have to be comfortable and love the dress. You also want something that represents you and be true to what you want. Example I went to a wedding months before mine. The brides dress you can tell someone influenced her to get the dress because it was so not her. On my wedding day people looked at me and said the wedding was so me and my personality.
    Enjoy this process.

    So, to me that dress is not 'plain' it is glamour and it is class and that bottom part is amazing. I don't see the dress so much as I see YOU. I don't think your future Mr. Will think it's plain either it's all about perspective. That is your dress and if you feel that it is all that matters.

    This dress is gorgeous on you! I think many of us have been in that place where we think we want a particular style or dress look and the real experience yields the total opposite - 🙋🏿‍♀️that is my story. At the end of the day, the dress choice is yours and what is flattering to you because it is your day and everyone else can definitely be in the same boat where the type of dress they imagine they would like to see you in doesn't match what they actually would prefer in real life. I say stick with the dress that you fell in love with. This is certainly a trust your instincts process. Best of luck to you, your upcoming wedding and your marraige 😘😘😘

    There is for sure nothing “plain” about this dress. It definitely makes a statement. When he sees you that day with your hair and make up all done, he’s going to love it. Definitely no need to keep stressing about it! This is supposed to be the fun part hahaha

    I think your dress is stunning and I don't think hes going to c as re one bit when he sees you walking down the isle. The only thought that will be going through his head will be "wow! She is beautiful!"

    Girl, you look stunning!!!!! He may think that now when you describe a certain dress to him but when you walk down that aisle his jaw is going to hit the floor, don’t worry one bit.
