Proposing with a dress?

I would absolutely let my OH buy a dress for me. It freaks me out slightly that i have bought a (rather expensive) dress without asking his opinion! I ask his opinion on virtually everything I buy, might seem a bit odd to some, but that's how we roll. When he comes shopping with me he usually picks me out some lovely clothes.

Not in a million years! H has a slightly skewed image of me and would probably buy me a dress three size too small, that would make me look like a sack of potatoes!

Love my OH to bits - but he's not the best at picking clothes let alone a wedding dress - so would have to be a no from me!

Good grief no. He wouldn't have a clue. I actually think I'd be kind of annoyed, it would seem to me like he was assuming he knew better than me what I would want to wear. Or maybe I'm just being uptight

To chuck my thoughts in, I wouldn't let OH pick mine. I felt like the whole shopping experience was something I wanted to share with my mum and finding the right one was so important that it almost makes me feel sad that this girl won't get that chance! I'd feel like I'd have had that opportunity taken away from me.

I'd appreciate the thought but I'd be gutted!

Haha how odd! Never heard of that before. I certainly wouldn't let my OH pick my dress lol

Although I do think my OH has quite good taste and could probably choose me something quite nice no way on earth would I want him to.

If I'm honest it comes across as a bit controlling but of course that's probably not the intent.

? This has me in stitches!

Not a chance in hell. in mr wints words 'it's a dress. an expensive dress. it covers your body, it'll do'

:/

Hell no! My OH is awful at picking clothes for me - he tends go pick either very tarty things or something his mum would wear! No middle ground with him!

Definitely wouldn't let my OH pick my dress!
I do always ask his opinion and he's always honest but considering I ended up buying a dress that was the total opposite of what I thought I wanted, he wouldn't stand a chance of getting it right ?
Besides, I think I'd be a bit miffed that I wouldn't then be able to go shopping with my mum...

I'm not a shopping person and don't like standing around in shops. I'd be glad if my OH went out and got my dress for me, except he doesn't like clothes shopping either, and it would be mean to make him!

Absolutely! i'd be intrigued to see what he'd choose. He's pretty good at buying clothes for me. Haha!

I hate shopping so am always pleased when he surprises me with a top or similar.

No. He'd do an excellent job, but he'd have an absolute meltdown getting there.

I certainly would! We watch a lot of dont tell the bride in this house, and Id gladly let my OH plan the whole thing - he knows me better than I know myself most of the time and I'd love to know what he'd choose!

I'm not sure - he knows what suits me and usually buys me clothes for Christmas / birthdays which I almost always love (although some people find this creepy!?). However I reckon wedding dress wise he'd choose something more traditional which isn't what I wanted... plus like others have said, I think finding your dress is part of the wedding experience itself and it'd be a shame to miss out on that, even though on more than one occasion I was whining that I wanted someone else to make the decision for me!

No way, dresses look so different when you try them on, he'd have no way of knowing what would suit me!

Hell no! My is a shopping div, plus I would just have ended up in my underwear! I would also find that so incredibly creepy and controlling!! I could trust my brother to do it though.

I couldn't believe it when I saw it on facebook! He even posted pictures of it hanging up so everyone saw it.

I hadn't considered the controlling aspect of it - he's not that type of person at all - but I can see how it would be!

Takes the surprise out of seeing her wearing it as well!

Not a chance would I allow H2B to do this.

He’s got an idea on my dresses as he sees the type I wear in my wardrobe, but I think he would be a bit off with what would suit my body.

No way! She could definitely pick a dress I'd love (she knows my tastes so well) but I would HATE it. I'm a control freak.

No way - dress shopping is part of the fun x

I'd definitely prefer to be prosed to with a ring rather than a dress! My Oh has good taste and would probably pick out something I'd like but I still wouldn't want him to do it.

She got a ring and a dress!

No way, dress shopping has been the best bit of planning by far! As someone has already mentioned dresses look so different when they're tried on. I would never have picked the dress I've chosen for myself from a picture.

I am fussy and a bit of a control freak though, I insisted on choosing my ring myself as well.

I would 100% trust my OH to pick my dress, he has surprisingly good taste in women's clothes and he knows exactly what I like. We have many a times sat and watched "dont tell the bride" and when I have asked him what he would pick he has pretty much described my dress to me

I think I would purely because I think he knows my taste better than I do. Some of the clothes he has not so much picked out for me but pointed out as liking or suggested have turned into my most favourite things sometimes there not initially what I would pick for myself on the hanger so I would probably be a little "oh" when I saw it until I put it on but yes absolutely also to Marry somebody I'm sure he's seen you admiring dresses /commenting on TV in passing etc anyway so know what completely not to get

Ah good question!! To be fair mine is great at picking clothes usually but don't know if I could trust him with that! I would feel guilty if I didn't like it...could maybe have a back up one just in case xx

I think my OH knows me quite well but nooo wayyy would i let him get my dress haha

tbh i think id want the shopping experience more than anything.

Ha haa! no! last time i was feeling a bit diva, i asked OH to find me an outfit for a night out. he proudly (without a hint of p***take) presented me with a green primarni t-shirt and a black pinafore that doesnt cover my belly button let alone backside. topped off with burgundy tights. it wasnt christmas, the elf look was co-incidental....

I definitely would! Although we do differ sometimes for something like that I know he would pick well. We've actually looked up dresses online together so he knows what I like =)

I picked my own dress, my OH doesnt know what i have chosen but i asked him to google a dress he thinks i would wear and to my shock horror he basically found my dress and said that one. My dress wont be a huge suprise to him haha
