I know the style of dress my FH likes on me so I took that into consideration but he will see my dress for the first time when I walk down the aisle. He only knows it's white.
I took his input into account, but didn't go so far as to ask him what he wanted. All he requested was that the dress have a "sexy low back." I kept that in mind when looking for dresses, but wouldn't have vetoed a dress I loved because it didn't have a low back.
Well, I'd say very little to none. He has no clue what it looks like. The only thing I knew was that he felt that if I got a strapless dress, he doesn't like a sweetheart neckline. Otherwise, everything's a surprise, and he said very little about what he'd like...well he did suggest that I could just wear lingerie, but...
My husband didn't have a say and didn't really want one. Don't forget you really need to go in and try on dresses before really knowing what you like. I'm sure you have heard it a million times but I felt that dresses looked so much different on my body than the stick figure models in magazines so it was hard to really say what I liked in magazines.
ZERO! I tried getting his opinion but he really does not want anything to do with dress.
I showed him some pictures of gowns that I liked... he kinda nixed all looks that were more modern and did not look princessy. It is our day... and I want him to see me at my best... in something I love, as well as being everything he could have imagined! So yeah, I def wanted to know his thoughts!
I wanted to tell FI all about my dress - but he wasn't having it. He was real honest when he said, "I probably won't even notice details about your dress right away - I'm just going to see YOU and how amazingly beautiful you look!" so I gave up trying to talk to him about beading/this or lace/that. :) In fact, he refuses to even look at pictures of dresses I DIDN'T get because he wants to be surprised seeing me in a georgeous white dress for the first time!!
Given that my fiancee is also wearing a dress, we pretty much had to shop together so our dresses would be complementary.
My fiance has absolutely no input (in that I'm taking into major account what I think he will like, but I'm not asking him) - I want it to be a surprise!
none, I think the only words he said was " I know you'll look dreamy as always" that's it. I'm making it so it will be a surprice for him :)
He hasn't seen my dress, but he definitely told me his style preferences. He liked strapless and form fitting. And you know what...so did I! So he gets what he wants, lucky guy. I'm going to purchase a dress for the reception, and he's not sure he wants to see that one before the wedding day either. It's been kind of hard not showing him my dress. I value his opinion so much and I really want to know what he thinks. Honestly, though, I know that he'll cry when he sees me in it. He tears up whenever I get dressed up all fancy-shmancy.
When I first mentioned wearing a short, vintage style dress, he loved the idea. So I kept that in mind when I shopped but I tried on a lot of long dresses too. Ended up, because I'm short, a shorter dress looked best on me. So I ended up with a tea length strapless dress. He hasn't seen it, but I've told him the basics and he seems excited.
I had the same issue about lace with my fiance that you are having. When I first began the hunt and really had no idea what I wanted I showed him pictures of dresses that I had tried on. But I did not let him know what I was leaning towards. I really love the look of lace and that's what I really wanted. When I showed him a picture of a lace dress he said it looked like "something his Grandma would wear" or "it looks like lingerie" (don't get me started on how those two things do not even relate lol!). That crushed me a little bit because I love the look of lace on a wedding dree. But let's face it...some guys can be a little clueless, or they really just don't care about the little details.
After that experience I stopped telling him anything about dresses that I tried on. He knows nothing about the dress that I ended up getting and he won't see it until our big day. Needless to say, I stayed away from the lace...it's not just my day, it's his day too. And I want to look as stunning as possible in his eyes.
My husband had no input on my dress. He didn't want to know a thing about it. He took the whole element of surprise/bad luck to see the dress thing to an extreme. He freaked when I showed him the swatch of the satin from the dress shop, haha.

I didn't get any input from my husband on the dress. I wanted him to be totally surprised. After the wedding, we talked about it and he was totally surprised. I picked a dress that was nothing like what I thought I wanted originally. It turned out that he was expecting something like my original thought (I thought I wanted no beading/lace, halter or tank top, satin with no train). I bought strapless, lace & beading with a train). I thought it was funny that he expected the same thing I thought I wanted.
Nada. He hasn't, won't, and doesn't want to see it until the church doors open. He's very traditional in that way, and he trusts that I will choose something that's pretty and flattering.
Although it kills him that I have a secret. All I told him is that it's long, white, and bride-like. : )
Mr. MJ was SUPER helpful. and I'm very glad because some of the dresses I really liked, he didn't like on me.
I'm actually quite surprised at how many votes there are in the "None" category! :)
I just showed the results to my FI and his comment was (jokingly, of course): "you women! you have say in everything! you guys are piece of work!" LOL; so funny (and love it) how we end up getting everything we want...
I think it is one of the best surprises about the wedding :) I can't wait to see his face!
I know the idea of having photos before the ceremony are practical, but I don't want him to see it or to have any idea about what it looks like :)
I showed Mr Frenchie pictures of dresses I had tried on and was considering, but he said he liked them, but he doesn't know which one I chose.
My FH wants to and will be suprised. He trusts me and knows the styles I like and the styles I do not :)
he's gone through some bridal mags with me and always points out the ones he likes and the ones he doesn't... but on the day, he'll be clueless until he sees me!
none- that's the one thing we're holding true to - that he won't see the dress till our wedding day. he's having his say on my hair instead (yes he has opinions about that apparently!)
I asked for input, and he said he couldn't say what he liked/didn't like without seeing options in front of him. Needless to say, I made the decision on my own, and he'll see it for the first time on our wedding day (unless he peeks!)
He had absolutely no say whatsoever!! I've always been very traditional in the fact that I do not want him to have an idea what my dress will look like until he sees me walking down the aisle.. We're not even going to have one of those "first look" shoots beforehand because I want that moment where he sees me for the first time to be when I'm walking toward him to marry him.. So he doesn't know what it looks like at all, nor does he want to know.. But he said I'd look beautiful in a paper bag too, so I know he'll love the dress that I picked out.. (It's a lot more beautiful than a paper bag haha)..
I thought he would want to be involved, I was planning on having him involved. He wouldn't even give me an idea of what he wanted me to play up (girls, curves, arms, etc.) All he knows is that it's platinum gray b/c he heard it accidently. Other then that, nothing else.
He saw a picture of me in a HUGE ballgown and he was so UPSET about it, b/c he thought it was the dress and he had seen it and he didn't like it and just so distraught. I just laughed and said NO way, that was my friend's pick to put me in.

I shared clips of many, many dressed that I had saved of potential dresses with my FI today to get an idea of what he liked. To my surprise, he didn't like any lace dresses or any with beading/embroidery! He says a little here and there is fine (like just on the bodice), but pretty much preferred very simple, plain dresses. I didn't particularly like all lace dresses for myself, but I was somewhat leaning towards it...
I have yet to try any on in person, so I'm keeping my mind open and his opinions noted, but how about you? How much input did you take from your FI?
