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?

    Yes I agree about the pressure. I tried not to put pressure on myself but it was harder than I expected it would be. Thank you!

    Your dress is beautiful!!! Just because it doesn't have tons of tulle or bling doesn't mean it doesn't look special. You look classic and sleek in it, truly. I think you can finish the look with some stunning jewelry and a beautiful hairstyle. I will say I don't know about the cathedral veil with that dress, but otherwise I think you're on the right track here.

    Your dress is super pretty! The only person that you need to worry about loving it is YOU. When you're happy with a dress, your inner glow comes out--and that's what really makes the look. Smiley heart

    You definitely have the 'wow' factor, and I can't imagine anyone seeing you in that dress not loving it!

    I bet when he sees how FANTASTIC and beautiful that dress looks on you it won't matter. My guy would have loved me to with with a ballgown, but that wasn't me. I know he'll end up loving the dress I chose because I do. Your fiancee is marrying you because he loves you. My guess is as long as you feel happy and beautiful in it on your wedding day you'll take his breath away.

    I'm the same as you!! The dress is gorgeous and fits you in the right places!! I love the dress without the belt embellishment but what you could consider is a bling necklace or long earrings.

    OH. MY. GOD!!! I think its absolutely stunning. it fits you perfectly. the sparkles on the belt are just enough of a touch! the veil is great also. Just add some nice jewelry and you will be all set. I totally understand your need to have approval from you family, but just remember this is YOUR day, not theirs. if YOU love it and you feel beautiful that is the most important. i LOVE IT! best of luck on your beautiful daySmiley ring

    I think he will love it when he sees it on you! It's not plain at all to me.

    Go with what you love. That dress IS stunning on you. If it makes you feel better, the dress I ended up LOVING also was absolutely not what I thought I wanted. BUT I loved it on me and I couldn't stop thinking about it, even while trying on a dozen other dresses that WERE what I thought I wanted. I decided that how I felt in that dress was more important than sticking to my preconceived ideas.

    This dress looks stunning on you!! I don't think it's plain (and I'm someone that hates "plain things"). The bottom is dramatic, and if you go with a blingy belt, I think it'll look amazing! Your groom is going to love whatever you wear because you're in it! I'm wearing a mermaid gown that's covered in beading, lacy, and ruffles. FH was watching SYTTD with me one day and said he didn't really like mermaid gowns.... I KNOW he'll love it once he sees it!

    Yes I was the same way. I tried on so many others of what I envisioned and truly wasn't happy. Thanks so much!
