What about getting your lady doing your hair/makeup doing wedding help you into dress and get some first look pictures before you head to the beach?
I had thought about that as well. She could take some with my camera. We have a photographer meeting us at the beach, but it didn't make sense to divide her time with us for first look/getting dressed pictures. I'd rather have her time during the ceremony and after.
I'm not superstitious, but i want the moment he sees me down the aisle to be the first time he sees the dress. My moment! He got his when he proposed!
DH actually freaked out when I tried to show him a picture of a dress I was considering!
A week before the wedding I gave in and showed it to him because I was so nervous about looking good in it and he is my best friend.
I showed it to him, but he doesn't know I did. I was showing him a bunch of dresses to see what he liked and included my dress. Luckily he loves my dress!
my FI literally said that if he saw the dress, it would ruin everything. He's really excited about "the moment" too!
We had just moved to a new city, and I didn't know anyone, and wanted to get the opinion of someone who A) Will be honest and tell me if something didn't look good, and B) Wasn't going to make a commission on the sale. I went dress shopping alone, and narrowed it down to one I really loved, then had DH come in so I could try it on for him. I got a lot of funny looks in the store.
If I had had another option, someone else to go with me, I would have wanted it to be a surprise.
At my first wedding, my fiance went dress shopping with me. I figured he was going to spend more time looking at it than I was, so I wanted to make sure I got one he liked.
At my second wedding, my fiancee and I needed to get coordinating wedding dresses, so we picked them out together.
He went to all of my dress shopping and helped me made the final decision.
Mountain Man has been shopping with me for alll of them- lol-- but the day of the ceremony I hope to get it put together so it will be a surprise when I actually join him in front of friends and family
i chose the first option that he helped me pick it out, but he didn't come shopping with me. he hates shopping and i wouldn't do that to him! but i took pictures in the stores and was going crazy trying to decide, so i showed him the pictures and he helped me choose! in fact, it was his final opinion that helped me solidify my final decision!
I was on the fence about my dress choice, so I showed him the Mikaella picture. The dress ended up looking very different on me than it did on the model. Regardless- I don't care about that stuff. It's just a dress, and I'm not superstitious.
@ilovegaleharold: Mine is going dress shopping with me. He loves it and already has his favorites! In yor shoes, I think I would rather him see it than use a beach restroom. Having used them in the past it isn't something I would want to do in clothes I paid much money for.
I haven't got mine yet, but I do plan to bring him along shopping with me sometimes. He's the one who needs to like it most, after all.
I'm kind of in a weird position because I'm having my dress custom made. I showed FI my sketches and we talked about the details, but he's not going to get to see any pictures of the fittings!
He has seen the dress but not seen it on me. He says it's bad luck to see me wearit before the wedding but he helped me pick it out. I don't see it as a big deal because a dress on a hanger looks different than when it's ON you.
My FI wants it all to be a surprise: dress, jewelry, veil, hair, accessories. I think it's kind of funny, but I'll oblige him. His mom and I were talking about the dress in front of him and he yelled, "if I figure out what it looks like, you're going to have to buy a new one!" He was kidding, of course, but he's really looking forward to seeing the whole look.

I know some brides take their FI with them to pick out the wedding dress, some wait until the day of the wedding and surprise him, and some may not be able to handle the excitement and let him have a peek before the wedding.
I'm getting married in a week and I'm having a hard time not showing my dress to my FI. At first he was like no it's bad luck, but now he's says it's up to me. This is the issue -- we are eloping and I have two options before the wedding (1. Let my the lady who is doing my hair and makeup help me in my dress at our bed and breakfast and then FI will see it because we have to drive a half hour to the beach for our ceremony or 2. our wedding officiant says she will help me in my dress, but I'll have to change at the beach restrooms.) The 2nd doesn't really appeal to me which is why I'm thinking it may be better to let my makeup and hair lady help me into my dress. What would you do? I'm thinking if he's gonna see it before the ceremony anyway, why not show him a week before? Advice?
