This is so Hard: Fiancè might not love my dress

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?

    No one, especially your FH will be critiquing you on your wedding day. So get the dress you love. As a side note, I don’t think it’s simple at all. The bottom screams glamour.

    I think you look stunning in that dress, you have the perfect figure! I’m sure you’re FH will love it. I’ve learned that others, including family, will have their own opinions but YOU have to love your dress and that’s whats important!

    I feel you girl. My FH said he didn't like ball gown dresses and I ended up with one 🤣 I think once he sees you and how beautiful you look he will totally even forget the conversation.

    It’s your day, it’s your dress. You picked this one for a reason. Stick with it. Splurge on the best hair and makeup and you’ll feel like a celebrity

    It is absolutely gorgeous and you look happy and beautiful in it!

    Remember....LESS IS MORE! ❤️❤️ There’s definitely a wow factor!

    Because of the simplicity of the dress, you can wear the blingy belt and accessories. I’m sure when you put it all together it will be perfect!

    The dress is beautiful on you, so I think you should say yes! He will love it regardless, and once he sees how beautiful you are, and how happy the dress makes you, he won't even notice how "plain" it is. I personally love the simple look!
