H2B does not like my dress- help!!!

1) He will not remmeber this conversation or what the dress looked like in a week's time

2) He will think you look beautiful in whatever you wear on the day

Trust me!! You need to pick a dress based on what you like and what suits you. Floaty Grecian is lovely but may not suit you at all. And you need to feel fantastic in it!

Ps bargain price, I would def go and try it on x

Well the first thought is that he isn't supposed to know anything about your dress until you enter the church/whatever anyway.

Two things spring to mind... firstly, he'll have completely forgotten that comment by the time you get married, and secondly he'll be too blown away with how fantastic you look overall even if he does remember that comment.

Even if he did remember and he really hated the dress, so what? It would be a very brave - or stupid - groom to make a negative comment about his bride on the wedding day anyway.

Of course you want to please him and you want him to like the way you look, but from my experience (being a guy, fwiw...) I think on the day it won't make one jot and he'll love you in it regardless.

See - male and female view and we both think the same! Go with the dress you like!

I have gone completely with what i want and what i think suits me. The OH and i have not had many conversations about wedding dresses but we also walked past a dress shop window which had a humongous gypsy style dress and i said "oh thats a bit like mine"..he said "you would never wear anything like that". I am not but even if i was i would not have changed it!

I agree he will forget the comment and love how you look!

I agree with Kooks. When I ask Dave what can he see me in he has no idea! Also, I have shown him some of the dresses I like and he always says 'well I dont know what they look like on you so can't tell if I will like them'. I think its about what you want and what will suit you - at the end of the day you want to look your very best.

My OH did get worryingly excited about BM dresses though.... ?

We haven't gone along with that. My OH bought my dress for me as a suprise.

To the OP, as others have said, he won't remember what the dress looked like. And it will look completely different on you than it does in a shop window anyway.

If you love it, get it.

The others are right...

He won't remember, dresses look different on real people to mannequins and once he sees you enter the room as a bride all preconceptions will go out of the window.

You wear whatever you want to wear!

I know you probably feel disheartened by his comments but as others have said he will have forgotten about it by the wedding and will think you look beautiful on the day regardless.

If he's anything like my OH he will be useless with womens fashion. Every time he's with me clothes shopping and I find something I like he doesn't like it. However if I buy it and wear it he loves it as soon as it's on me.

To retirate everyone else's replies, he is incredibly unlikely to remember either of the dresses or even the conversation. If I'm honest, I'd be surprised if my boy even remembers my actual dress after the day.

I agree he won't remember the dress and when he see's you walking down the aisle he will still be blown away!

Grecian dresses always look stunning on mannequins and models and people with the figure for it so that is why he was probably drawn to it more so than a traditional style which look equally as beautiful on a bride.

Go for what you want as that will be the only part of the wedding he will have no input!

I agree with everyone else, he won't remember and on the day he won't see anything but his lovely bride.

My OH is desperate to see my dress but I'm keeping it a secret, half because of the 'bad luck' thing and half because I'd like to avoid the stress if he says he doesn't like it (not that he would, a dress is a dress to him!)

Mine is in my spare room and OH has no interest in peeking as he really wants to be suprised!

Totally agree with Kooks. He won't remember this and will think you look beautiful on the day!!! Go try it!

Is it at all possible that he said that about the other one because he thought he was saying the right thing? ie did he think you were taken by the grecian one so being supportive about your choice?

Either way, I don't think you should worry - he's going to be so blown away seeing you walk up the aisle that he won't remember what he has and hasn't given an opinion on!

Thank you so much to everyone that has responded.

I have actually booked an appointment to try the sale one on and the one the H2B liked at 1pm today.

I will keep you posted

My OH and I bought him something for Christmas together once. When it was under the tree a few weeks later he found it odd that I'd gift him sth like that.

We also saw my wedding dress at a wedding faire and he said it's not too bad. I later bought it and he claims he doesn't remember a thing about it. I should also mention that I have lots of lace and it's very romantic, but he likes plain and puristic styles.

So basically - get the dress YOU love, and he'll either have forgotten about it, or when he sees you walking down the aisle and how happy and confident you are he'll love it, I'm sure.

Likewise, before I ordered my dress, I gave my H2B the websites of the two shops I was going to and asked him to look at pics of the dresses the shops stocked. I asked him to consider the pics and give me feedback of what he thought he might like to see me in... Needless to say, I gave him guidelines of what I felt would suit my figure in terms of shape and detailing but left the rest to him... ie I subtly suggested that shiny materials might not suit me given my larger physique and, while my boobs are his favourite feature, having them on display to all and sundry might not set the right tone for the wedding...

Without this, I don't know what he would have come up with but he actually picked out the dress that I bought (and secretly loved anyways, as did my mum) Not that he knows this of course.... or will remember that he did either! :o)

Totally WKS!

Although, you may actually surprise yourself when you try on dresses. I fell in love with something that I didn't have in mind at all. Go with your heart, it will pick 'the one' for you!

how did it go? x

Well I tried it on and after all the fuss I didn't really like it. It didn't help that it was too small and it was a 14! Why do they have to be soooo mean?? I have also been to the other shop where the £1300 one was as my bridesmaid has been to try on her dress. I tried it on again and still really liked it but maybe not as much. I then tried on a completely vintage, lace dress and liked it but could't get it to fit at all. The dressmaker has said (in a nice way) that I would have to lose around 2 stone to make that one work. Needless to say I am already on my 3rd glass of wine and feel completely depressed :-( Xx

I would suggest to just go and try on lots of different styles as you might come across one you might not originally have thought you would like.

With regards to the OP, I kept showing OH pics of a variety of dresses just to see his opinion and he didn't like any of them. When I asked what sort he liked he didnt have a clue and I think this sums it up, men really don't have much of a clue when it comes to wedding dresses so just go with what you like and I'm sure he will love it.

WSS! Exactly! My dress is in the wardrobe we both use (in a bag, of course, and the very end on the left, whilst his shirts are on the right at the very end). He says he wants to be surprised and has no desire to see the dress...

Don't worry he'd have forgotten about the dress and the conversation. Once he sees YOU in it he'll love it. Things look so different on mannequins as to on people and once your hair, make up, jewellry is on the dress not only looks different but you'll look amazing. You need to pick the dress of your dreams and what suits your figure too so try to switch off from it x

Awww, don't feel sad. It's obvious that you just haven't found 'the one' yet, but you will. In the meantime, chin up, and have a ?

He may have thought it looked old-fashiooned nut thats likely to just be next to the other one. Hes def. not gunna think you look old fashioned! A dress looks so different on than just in a shop! He'll love it! Go for what you want!!

Definately go and try lots of different styles on, you will know when it is the one. It took me ages but i found it and i knew when i did , good luck!
