Did you let your fiance see your dress?

[Samm]

Just wondering if you let your fiance see your dress. Not you in it but the dress in general? Or are you waiting for him to see it on the wedding day?

[gwenshack]

I wanted him to see it but he refused to! Who knew he'd be so traditional about something?? :) I actually wanted him to help me pick it out, but he'd have none of it.

[CaseyK37]

I haven't showed it to him but it is in our closet so I don't know if he has peeked at it. I doubt that he has looked at it because I don't think he really cares that much! He will see it on me for the first time on the wedding day.

[Samm]

My fiance wants to see it but I'm not sure if I wanna show him when that times comes.

[sandy03]

I didn't actually show it to him, but I think he may have peeked. I am almost certain he saw pictures of the style online, but if he ever saw my actual dress he has never fessed up about it! Even if he did see it on the hanger, I know it looked a lot different on me!

I thought this topic would make a good poll, so I moved it and added one ;)

[MrsDM]

Nope, not at all. I didn't want him to see it, and neither did he. In fact, it hung in our spare bedroom (with the door closed) for at least a week or two prior to the wedding and I know he didn't peek.

For this wedding, my wife and I needed to coordinate dresses, so we shopped together. We also had our alterations done together.

For my first wedding (30+ years ago), I still took the groom wedding dress shopping with me. I figured he was going to have to look at the dress more than I would, so I wanted to get one he would like.

I'm voting on behalf of my wife. She did not let me see the dress. And I'm glad she didn't, because when she walked through the doors in the back of the church, and I was finally able to see her, my jaw about hit the ground. :D:hearts:

[starsthrumysoul]

I didn't let him see it before the wedding day. But we went a little non-traditional when it came to the lineup of our wedding day - we did pictures BEFORE the ceremony, so he obviously got to see me in my dress before that walk down the aisle.

Sounds good! =)


I did a little dress shopping the other day and I went around and showed everyone the pic I found of the dress I liked online and he was begging me to see it and I thought that was a little weird because he doesn't wanna see me in it before the wedding or come pick one out with me.

[jennybaby]

Nope, he's not going to see my dress. He doesn't want to ruin that moment.

[SkippyNXC]

nope he didn't see my dress till i walked down the aisle! :)

i'm glad i did it that way

[ChristineLS]

Will helped me figure out if it was fitting right (it was my mother's prom dress, believe it or not!)

[kgvettegirl]

RC didn't see it before the day, but he did help me zip it up as I was getting dressed. He loved it cause it was his favorite shade of blue.

[WBandMe]

I voted "other" because he didn't see the dress in person or on me until the wedding. The dress came in two-tone, ivory and champagne, and that's how it was in the catalog. I ordered mine in solid ivory. So I showed him the catalog with a bunch of dresses in it including the two-tone version of mine, but I never told him it was my dress.

[PGDesigns]

I didn't have anyone to take dress shopping/dress fitting with me. My mom and grandmothers had already passed away a few years earlier, and my bridesmaids were all living in different cities. I ended up buying my dress online without stepping foot into any shops, but DH did go to my fittings with me.

My dress had a little color on it, and I wasn't sure if he'd like it. I had no qualms about him seeing it beforehand to make sure he liked it. My dress was champagne with some gold and bronze in the sash. I also went with him to pick out the guys' attire to make sure they we all matched. :)

[Nekochanpurr]

Nope! He didn't see it till i was walking down the isle. It was WAY more fun that way! :D

Oh. i Believe this is his 'first saw me' picture. <3

I voted just pictures. Lukas knows what it looks like. I've showed him all the ones I liked on David's Bridal website. But he hasn't seen me in it. When I went to try them on and pick out my dress, the one I ended up going with was the one I went in wanting, but I had to settle on the color because it was discontinued, I had to call him and get his opinion on it before I could make the decision to buy it. So he knew what one I was talking about, which helped out. But he hasn't and will not see me in it until I walk down the aisle :) It's currently in alterations now, before that it was hanging in my bedroom and my mom's house. And it will probably remain there when we get it back. So no chance of him peaking either ;)

[firespirit]

We did pictures before our wedding. I would have prefferred that he had to wait, but it was unavoidable if we wanted good pictures. We were at a museum and had access to the floor prior to opening, if we hadn't done it before the wedding we would have had people in the background of our pictures.

[Danielle9608]

Nope he didn't see the dress till I walked down the aisle wearing it.

[Docsgirl]

I was all about him seeing it, but he wanted to be traditional and not see it before I walked down the aisle.

[anirow]

Well my husband himself had decided that he would like to see me at my best on wedding day only.And honestly i also was not too inclined to show him before the D day.

[f77g4]

He may have seen pic in the mag but I didn't have it flagged or anything to indicate that it was my dress. I also played around with the David's Bridal images to dress your bridal party but my dress wasnt from David's Bridal so it wasn't really the same dress.

So I voted no not until I walked down the aisle. I so wish I had a pic of the first time he saw me though.

[AMacSomeday]

My FH definitely has his opinions about what he likes... I had him point some out on David's Bridal website... and they were, for the most part, the EXACT OPPOSITE of what I liked...:laugh2: And, as much as everyone says you should get the dress YOU love, I wanted HIM to love it too... like 2dbride said about her first wedding... he's going to have to look at it more than I am.

So when I went to David's to try some on, I came home with pix of me in them, and showed him the one I'd picked, but not bought yet, to make sure he'd like it. Surprisingly, he did... that was a load off.

I would have just shown him the picture on the website, but it didn't do the dress justice at all... and I wanted to get his honest opinion.

[Chele&Chris]

Nope, he wanted no part of seeing the dress or the hairstyle I wanted until I walked down the aisle and I wouldn't change it for anything. The look on his face said it all! :whoa: LOL

[weddinglover]

NOoooo

Actually he do not want to participate in that.
Same thing on my part also I have not seen his dress.
We both have seen each others dress on the D day.

[muguet]

No, I did not. I was even trying to figure out exactly where to store it so he wouldn't see it. But it didn't matter, he never saw it or tried to see it anyway. Not until the big day.:)
