Lesbian wedding, dress or suit?

Jacqueline, on April 25, 2013 at 12:42 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 38

Hi guys ,me and my fiancee have been looking at outfits for our gay wedding. My fiancee is more ofthe "boyish"type and i woud be concidered the "fem". She wants to wear suit (something casual like a shirt n vest and tie and pants).........and Id love to wear a beatiful dress.

BUTTT lately i have been thinking about wearing a shirt and vest n tie n pants too. My fiancee doesn't like the idea because she pictured me in a dress. I think it would be aewsome though because i think i could rock a vest out fit too.

Any ideas of something casual for me? someting not too masculine aadn something not too femine. i dont want to weara skirt either because i think thats "old ladyish" (no offense)

BELOW IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT I LIKE AND A PICTURE OF ME

    If you'd love to wear a dress, why wouldn't you do so? Or do you WANT to wear a suit?

    You're gorgeous! Also, I think you should wear what you feel comfortable in. You may find a dress you love, or you may not. Either way, be comfortable.

    Here's some things I liked!

    What Reenski said! If you want to wear a dress then go for it! It doesnt have to be a poofy dress or blinged out or anything. It can be something sweet and simple.

    It doesn't matter if your straight or lesbian, wear what you want. If you are uncertain of what you want to do, then go dress shopping to see if that's something that you can see yourself in.

    As a bride, I know I would NEVER give up the experience of wearing a gorgeous gown. BUT not everyone is the same! I think you would look amazing in a bridal gown, it definitley seems to suit your style, but if your fiance wants you in a dress and if you wouldnt mind a dress I think you should wear one.

    Why don't you try on both and see which feels more like you want to get married in it?

    Go try on dresses and suits and see how you feel, then. There are some simple dresses out there that are casual that you may love and feel wonderful in, there are some casual women's suits out there that you may love as well.

    Even if you wear a dress, you can "boy" it up a bit -- I wore Converses with my somewhat poofy dress (I hate heels), so that's one way to somewhat blend the two?

    Ok here is my story. I had a dress picked out. It was nothing "bridal" but it was white and I loved it. When we got into the planning I asked my fiance what he envisioned and it was the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of what I had picked. Oops! I was determined not to change my mind because I wanted to like what I was wearing.

    But I thought about it and then decided to at least try on something else, something he described as a dream wedding dress he'd like to see me in. I was thinking I wouldn't find anything and went into it with a closed mind.

    Then I found a dress that I fell in love with. It's very me and I think he'll love it too.

    So it won't hurt to have an outfit in mind but also to try on something that's not quite what you expected. Have a suit/vest look picked out but also try on dresses. Who knows!? Maybe you'll find a poofy skirt and match it with a cute vest and have the best of both worlds!

    All of the pictures posted in this thread are great but the bottom line is you should wear what makes you feel comfortable and feel like the beautiful bride I'm sure you will be. Try on some dresses and try on some cute pants suits like some of the ladies posted. You'll probably know once you see yourself in both what will make you the happiest. Congrats on your engagement!

    I think you should do your beautiful dress for your bride, Get all yoru formal pics done and then after your first dance, instead of switching into a little dress (like I did to dance) switch into some dress pants and a vest to dance the night away and ge tsome fun pics that way too.

    Oh and if you go dress shopping take your mom she prob wants to go.

    Hi, I'm also the femme and my intended is wearing a kilt suit. Here's my feeling: I'd rather she wore a suit or a tux but she wants a kilt suit and dammit, it's her day too. I'm not picking out her clothes and I don't think she should pick out mine.

    IN FACT, my wedding dress arrived TODAY.

    Anyway, I'm really happy with our butch/femme wedding plans, and I know a lot of women are really happy with 2-dress weddings. You don't see as many suit/suit wedding pics, but they're out there. Look around at places like soyoureenGAYged.com and gayweddings.com.

    I've officiated several commitment ceremonies for women.

    First -- they both wore white tuxes because neither would be comfortable in a dress.

    Another couple -- both were dressed casually (just the 3 of us on the beach).

    Another couple -- one wore white tux and the other a wedding gown.

    Another couple -- one wore white slacks & white halter top/vest type thingy and other wore white gown.

    One thing I have noticed is that men's tuxes are not made for womanly bodies.

    I think you should stick with what's true to you and what makes you & your FB comfortable.

    How about you wear a dress, and wear Chuck Taylor gym shoes or something with it? Not saying that's boyish, but it could be a happy medium?

    Or if you want to wear pants, you can do a white really feminine women's pants suit, with heels and a bow tie.
