I am tall and slim and I always wanted a mermaid dress!! After ordering my dress I loved it. But my fh says 'you are not having a traditional puffy dress that is how I picture my future wife to be. I was so hurt and I see so many brides with the traditional style dress. I don't know what to do. attached is the photo of my dress.

Your dress is beautiful!
Don't worry about it. Once he sees you in it, he'll be like 'ball gown...what's a ball gown dress?'

Re: Wedding dress dilemma
I think you'll knock his socks off when he sees you in this gown. Just beautiful!!!! Honey if I could wear that I would. You have to feel good in your dress in order for it to be the one. If you have that then he'll love it.
Don't worry so much.

Re: Wedding dress dilemma
too bad for FH! That dress is GORGEOUS ! Is something wrong with him that he wants a giant cotton ball coming down the aisle, rather than a gorgeous, sexy, tall, svelte bride?
And you'll feel amazing....that's what's most important.
Never second guess yourself. I always wanted that mermaid dress too,......and I went against my dream and went for a more 'traditional' dress. Huge mistake. GO FOR WHAT YOU WANT B/C THE PICTURES LAST FOREVER AND HE IS GOING TO LOVE IT!
When it comes to the dress, the men don't have any say....ignore him.
When he sees you in the dress, then he can give his opinion

Re: Wedding dress dilemma
Men rarely know what they want. I showed Fh pictures of ballgowns when I was still shopping around and he said they were too poofy and he didn't like them. I liked ballgown so I bought a ballgown and when he saw he said it was the most beautiful dress and he loved the way it looked on me. I wouldn't switch dresses if I were you.

Your dress is beautiful! Your FH will be stunned when he sees how amazing you are going to look.
My FH saw a picture of my dress on someone else (unaware that it's mine) & said that he thought it was ugly. A few weeks later, I told him that he saw a dress that he didn't like & it was mine. He promised me that he's 100% sure he won't even remember that on our weddnig day & he said he knows I'll look gorgeous no matter what. I bet your FH will feel the same way when he sees you coming down that aisle.

Sometimes the boys don't really have an idea of what the dress actually looks like until they actually see it.
You'll look stunning!

My advice is to ignore him. He doesn't know what he's talking about. When he sees you in that gorgeous dress, his jaw will drop and any thoughts of big and poofy will be gone. He'll have sexy and stunning instead.
My FH pointed to a dress similar to mine in a bridal magazine and said it was ugly. I know I don't look ugly in the dress and it's gorgeous and I have no doubt he's going to love it when he sees it on me either!
Absolutely...Ignore him. You will be gorgeous.

Re: Wedding dress dilemma
You know what I say? 'FU' to FH! If he wants a big ballgown at his wedding, he can wear one. Sorry if that's extreme, but really, that's a sily request for him to make. It's your dress, your choice. If you love it, that's all that matters. And, I'm sure you'll be gorgeous in it!

Ignore him! DH expected me in something VERY different then what i had picked...i showed him the ones I liked originally and they were not a-line-everything but...the day of he will be blown away by you and he wont even notice you arent wearing what he pictured...its better that way anyway!

Re: Wedding dress dilemma
aWW Dont' worry!! I feel the same way about my dress, that my FH will think it's ridiculous because it's exactly what I said I didn't want...beaded and big!! You are going to be a beautiful bride, you're dress is amazing!!!

Re: Wedding dress dilemma
I agree with the spirit of what previous posters have said. It could be that your fiance automatically thinks 'wedding = big, puffy dress' the way that little kids do. (I swear that's not an insult, just an example of a reflexive thought association.) I don't think most men are aware of the variety and options available in wedding dresses. What will be most important is that he will see you in the dress YOU like best.

Re: Wedding dress dilemma
I don't agree with the 'f** your FH, he doesn't get a say.' It's his wedding too, and if he had some sort of a vision in his head of what his bride would look like, it's important to him and you shouldn't discount his feelings. I get the idea that you feel that way, since you posted this as a 'dilemma.' But, since you've always wanted a mermaid dress, and you're the one wearing it, why don't you show him some pictures of similar dresses and point out to him how gorgeous you're going to look in it. He may think you're wearing one of those more extreme dresses that are really tight all the way down and then poof out at the knees. Which your dress isn't, it's beautiful. Or he might think you're not going to look like a bride, that you're going to look extremely 'fashion-y'--assure him you will definitely look like a bride. And tell him that once he sees you in this dress, he won't have any other vision of what his bride should look like, to trust you.
Good luck!

Re: Wedding dress dilemma
i think mermaids are gorgeous and sexy! men don't know enough about this stuff. im not wearing a traditional poofy ballgown either, its just not what im comfortable in. Im sure ultimately your fh will want you to be comfortable and feeling great on your big day! Im not saying discount his feelings, but I am the type of person who would want more than anything else for my fh to do what he is most comfortable in and not to dictate that he wears something he doesnt like. sorry, i wouldnt be okay with fh dictating to me what i need to look like on our wedding day. the wedding isnt really about that. if fh loves you for you, he wont give a rats @ss what kinda dress you ultimately come down the aisle with at your wedding. He may say different now, but I think he will be stunned by how gorgeous you look.

his opinion will change the moment he sees you at the end of the aisle. don't worry about it, really. he is going to love your dress b/c you are in it!
I completely agree!!! The dress you picked is gorgeous and he is going to be so suprised!
