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?

    I’m sure your groom will love whatever you wear! To me it’s more important to wear something that you love because when you do your confidence exudes even more which makes your walk down the aisle even more spectacular 😊

    I love this dress! I think it is elegant, classic, and it is SO flattering for your figure! You look gorgeous and i think hes going to love you in it. You will have your makeup and hair done, a veil, and you can add shiny or big jewelry if thats something you want to add. Its gorgeous. if you feel like a bride in it then that is the only thing that matters!

    I think it looks elegant! Don’t forget you can bling it up and make it “fancier” with jewelry and maybe a head piece or comb if you think it needs more.

    Its not plain at all. Its stunning and looks perfect on you. Your groom is going to love it. Your family is just wrong about not having a wow factor unless they know you that well and believe you will have second thoughts. That's why I only included my mom in dress shopping. She is the only one that understands my style or could pick out clothes for me. She was emotional when we picked up the dress. You will not get a consensus among a whole group of people who all have different ideas of the perfect dress. I love the bling in your waste and the bottom is gorgeous. Do you!!!

    Michelle, you look gorgeous in that dress. The bottom detail isn't plain. The hint of bling with the belt takes it up one more notch. It doesn't matter what other people think. If you put that dress on and felt it was the one and you felt great in it, that's all that counts. Everyone has their opinions. I should know. I was disappointed when my 2 sisters didn't like my dress choices. You know what i did? I went by myself and picked my dress. Im not showing anyone until the wedding.

    Your husband will love anything you have on when he sees you walking down the aisle.

    As others I'm sure said- I don't think your dress is plain at all! Simple and elegant but not plain!! I'm sure by plain he maybe meant a straight sheath dress. Besides- he'll love it because you love it and it makes you happy!!

    Your dress is stunning! There’s nothing plain Jane about it! It definitely makes a statement. Once my then-fiancé made a comment about he didn’t like dresses “with all that crap on them.” I got worried because I had shimmery lace and beading, etc. but you know what, when they see you on your wedding day all of that flies right out of their head. All they see is a vision coming toward them. If you wear the dress you live, you will beam!
