So I was looking at dresses online, just browsing ones on weddingbee anyway..
I came across…

Then he walked in the room and was like ” I dont like lace allover like that, its ugly, it looks gaudy” π little does he know, the only thing I knew I wanted for sure in a dress is LACE!!!! He also told me he didnt like the fitted mermaid look and that it didnt look like a wedding dress. Okay thanks for decribing EXACTLY what I was looking for :/ He then told me it was my choice and I’d look good in anything. damage already done buddy π I dont wanna wear a different style dress(like the kinds he always comments on being so pretty is like the maggie sottero adorea…its a pretty dress, just not what I ever imagined as ME) but I dont wanna wear a dress he thinks is gonna be ugly π
So since then…ive pretty much decided on this dress…. I sacrificed my fitted look, (but dont get me wrong I really love this style too)
And I am in love with this dress now:

Now im just worried, is it still too much lace? I dont wanna feel ugly on my wedding day π …does it have to much going on?

@alyssars1: I’m sure once your FH sees you, he won’t care what the material is! He will think you look beautiful no matter what!

@alyssars1: It’s a beautiful dress and I’m sure he’ll love it on you. I think it’s very different from the one he disliked. And remember, you smiliing and feeling confident will make it even more beautiful

It is beautiful! Keep in mind, when he is looking at the first dress giving his opinion, he is not seeing you in it; he is just looking at the dress. On your wedding day, he will be looking at YOU. He will think you are gorgeous even if you wore a trash bag. Trust me!
Always buy what you feel confident and beautiful in. It will truly show in your photos and to your husband. He won’t even remember what dresses he likes and doesn’t like because he will be so blown away by how gorgeous you will be. The entire package.

My Fiance started with a whole list of things he didn’t like about dresses and I was worried– I was honest with him and said “you don’t like all the dresses I like, what if you don’t think I’m pretty on our wedding day?” He was shocked and reassured me– he’s going to love whatever he sees because it’s me! Your Fiance will be so happy to marry you, he couldn’t care if you wore a burlap sack.
Be honest with him and tell him that he’s making you anxious, I’m sure he’ll come around.

That is a stunning dress and looks stunning on you! No way will he think you are in any way less than his perfect bride.

I say go with the original dress you had planned. Trust me, when he sees you walking down the aisle, he’s not gonna think about your dress, he’s gonna think about how you look gorgeous!!! And, I guarantee it, he will end up loving the dress on you.

I think it’s a fine balance my Fi has strong opinions on the dresses I like. I’m not ok with getting married in something he hates, I come to the conclusion that I been ok wearing something I love, but he isn’t crazy about as long as he doesn’t hate it. I have to wear the dress all day, and if I don’t love it its going to affect how I look and feel day of.

What he doesnt know is that it will look different on you. With the model he’s just seeing the dress with you he seeing YOU! I think he’ll love what your wearing even if its a trash bag with arm holes lol

Finally i couldnt take it anymore, so i showed him a pic of me in the dress and he loved it. He was shocked i picked something out like that.

I think your dress is awesome! I love the fit and while there is definately lace, it’s not nearly as much as the first one, much more flowy and romantic. I think your faince will love it!

Go with whatever dress you feel wonderful in! Most guys are horrible with details and will probably forget that he said he hated that type of dress and will just see his beautiful bride and love whatever you are wearing!
