Wedding Dress Stress *rant*

I don’t know what to do... I don’t like my fiancé’s wedding dress and i don’t know how to tell her.... I thought she was going to get a white trumpet dress but she got a colored dress “blush” semi-trumpet dress. Bad thing is the dress cannot be returned and we paid $500 and it still needs to be altered for a rip and needs sleeves. I want her to feel beautiful and if i tell her how i feel she’s gonna second guess the dress and we will be out the money we spent🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

    I don’t think it matters whether you like it or not. She’s the one wearing it, so if she likes it and feels comfortable that’s all that matters.

    It might not be your favorite, but remember that she loves it! Ultimately, I know you'd want her to feel happy, amazing, and gorgeous in her dress, and if that's the one that makes her feel that way, then that's what she needs!

    Oh man! This is a tough one however I is it possible to get it altered to something closer to what you like? Did she pick the dress because of cost? When is the wedding? Asking just in case you find a great seamstress who can create a beautiful dress

    Honestly, I didn’t buy my dress to please FH. I didn’t take his opinion or wants into consideration when choosing my wedding dress. Heck I didn’t even ask him his opinion or wants regarding MY dress, nor would he ever try to control that decision. I chose a dress that I absolutely love and feel beautiful in..


    Making her buy a new one, or altering this one to what you want, will almost guarantee some resentment toward you for it. You really have no real say in what she chooses to wear. You want her to feel beautiful, which is why she chose the dress she did, because SHE feels beautiful. Don’t try to control this aspect, you’re trying to control her decision. If you want her to feel beautiful, leave the dress decision alone, it was her decision, not yours.

    I don’t think you should tell her you don’t like it. As others have said, if she loves it and feels beautiful in it, that’s all that should matter. Think of how beautiful she’ll look because she’s happy. I would be crushed if my FS told me he didn’t like my dress.

    My fiance did this to me. He hated the first one It was to revealing and ill fitting. But I was so glad he told me. As much as i hated to hear it. He had vailid resons and concearns for the first dress. Which I didn't notice at first. Now I have an amazing dress. Im glad he told me NOW. Not so much at first.

    I think that if she feels beautiful in it, that's all that matters. If it's really bothering you though and there are valid reasons for not liking it then maybe respectfully speak up but make sure she still knows how beautiful you think she looks in it either way.
