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?

    Your dress is simple but it’s not plain and you look stunning. Once he sees you he’s gonna forget all about what he thought he wanted to see you in

    This style of dress is not my style specifically but I do think it’s a stunning dress and I think it looks gorgeous on you. You can dress it up with your jewelry, veil (if your wearing one), shoes and such. I think your FH will love it!

    I think it's stunning, your confidence and body is all the pizzazz you'll need. He'll love it because you'll feel absolutely beautiful in it.

    So Michelle...I went to try on dresses today and I picked a simple yet beautiful gown (my thoughts) myself. It has a thigh high slit though and some pockets...I was surprised and the understated beauty of this dress reminded me of you and yours...let me figure out how to add pics lol so you can see

    I feel you- I've been super stressed that my FH won't love my dress! I try and remember that because I love it and it makes me feel happy and beautiful that I'll be feeling my best and therefore looking my best! And that's what our guys will see! 😍

    Girl you DO look like a celeb in that dress! Seriously!!!

    Yours is extremely NOT plain compared to mine, in fact.

    Dudes are silly. They think they know what they like on us but then they see what WE decide to do and they're like...... oh, wow. That really does work too. Just think about how they think they like us "with no makeup" but when we go without they ask if we are sick Smiley xd

    Honestly, your family needs to stop being downers about your dress. A little pageant girl magic for you: if YOU love your dress, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks; you'll radiate how confident and gorgeous you feel, and it'll be catching. They'll end up loving you in it!

    Lol oh ok cool, sounds super cute and sexy at the same time. To add pics there should be 3 options right over the message text box or at the top of any forum. It's the 2nd option in between like a chain link icon and a play button icon. I hope that wasn't too confusing 😂😂😂
