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?

    This dress is anything but "plain." I think sometimes when people hear the word "simple" they think "plain" but in this context simple just means classic and sleek and STUNNING. There is nothing plain about that silhouette--that is full-blown glamour. Yes, maybe the fabric is "simple" in that it is not beaded or lacey etc... but FH just can't make those distinctions in his head. So, if you're worried about what he is thinking maybe just start using words that reflect just how interesting and dramatic the shape of this dress is and how eye-catching it is. I think you've captured a sort of effortless drama in this look, which seems like exactly what he is hoping for. XOXOX

    Just because it's "plain" doesn't mean you won't look stunning. i think it hugs your body in all the right places, and being that it is so simple, it makes the main focus of your dress YOU! i personally don't think you need any more sparkle. the belt adds just enough. you don't want to be overpowered by the dress. if you feel good in it, that's all that matters.

    Girl!!! I totally feel you!! Your dress is so stunning!!!! My dress is plain although I wanted beading. But always remember it’s your wedding day, your dress! You can always add a sparkle veil, or belt to give it they extra touch

    I like your 👰👗.

    There’s always someone that has a problem with what you’re doing or you did no matter what you did or how much 💵 you did or didn’t spend.

    So, just go with what makes YOU happy.

    In my opinion i think he will love whatever you wear cause the Joy or marrying will be all that matters. That dress also isn't plain the back and bottom is so BOMB! I think with the belt and some earrings, bracelet, and your ring it will all come together. Follow your heart is what i say in the end you have to comfortable and happy on your day. Good Luck

    You look absolutely GORGEOUS! Like other pp said, the groom is not going to care one bit about the fabric. Once he sees how beautiful you look, he'll love it. If you love it and feel confident, that's all that matters! You look like a million bucks in it, that's for sure!

    I too ended up with a dress that was the complete opposite of what I originally wanted!!! I wanted an a-line all lace with sleeves, and ended up falling in love with a trumpet style with straps and 3d flower applique all over.

    Your dress is beautiful! And it looks like it fits you perfectly! I think your FH will love it! And if you feel like you want more bling, wear a sparkly necklace with earrings and a sparkly bracelet!

    Good afternoon dear;

    OK so you ready.....I'm the crazy bride that has three dresses because I am hard to please. First let me say you look "AMAZING!!!!!!". I started working in a bridal boutique to assist in the cost of my dress and the plain dress is very popular. You bring in the bling with the veil, a belt or a stunning piece of jewelry. Believe me with your amazing figure nobody will be worried if you decided not to have rhinestones on your dress.

    The dress is elegant and shows off your figure. You nailed it. Your groom will love it, if you do.
