OM's - Did your husbands see your wedding dress before you walked down the aisle?

We ended up with a refund on my nephews suit as it didn't fit properly and ripped when the poor boy sat down!

Was there a reason why you didn't want him to see the bridesmaid dresses or was it just that it never came up? My husband helped picked the dresses with me, I wouldn't have been able to do it without him! He got quite teary so I had to keep looking away from him because I didn't want him to lose his cool bless him.

 

 

No not really I suppose it never really came up.  Everything else was done between us, the only things he did not see where everything I was wearing except my shoes which I had to break in.  Then what the bridesmaids where wearing.

 

Hitched helped me loads with things I would never have dreamt of, which I would go home and tell h we would be having

 

I think it is down to the individual really, I did not keep loads of traditions my mum gave me away.  So wanted to keep some things special and a secret

  

Oh right, I was just wondering if there was a tradition about them not seeing the bridesmaid dresses that I had missed. I find it so fascinating how everyone does so many things differently on their big day, makes me want to do it all again!

Glad you got a refund Raef, bless him!

Mine helped pick the dress. He didn't see the final fitting but I really didn't have an issue with it.

Was it something you had spoken about or it just happened? I think I would have been fine with him helping me but he would have been so bored, he's not one for shopping

my hubby and me picked mine together,  but he didn't actually see me in it until the day.

Mine didn't but we did discuss types of dresses, I am not particulary girly and said to him I was thinking of wearing a black dress to which his response was Nooooooooooooo.  I then toyed with red but he said he would prefer more traditional

I remember showing him pics in magazines of diff wedding dresses to see which he said were nice etc but he would give nothing away ha ha

Yes he had seen it. Only because i found it while hepling he's sister look for a dress. I found it decided it was the one i wanted and got him to print it off for me, that was 3 years prior to getting married. It didnt change the way he looked at me when i walked though the door though.

mine stumbled upon a pic of mine as his mother left the laptop open on a pic of my dress that I had shown her

Luckily, as my wedding dress was a bridesmaid dress and the pic he saw was the dress in a colour as opposed to Ivory, he didn't click!

No he know nothing about my dress.  I wanted itto be a surprise on the day.  I even got it all the way to Cuba without him seeing it and hung it up in PILs room for the week before the wedding.

This has been the hardest thing for me I think - OH wanted a complete surprise - even down to not seeing my shoes or undies.  I, however, buy stuff and ask for his opinion straightaway, so I have wanted to make sure he likes hit since I decided on it!

I tried to get him to show me the kind of dresses he liked, but he wouldnt!  No point in stressing over it I spose - every time we watch Dont Tell The Bride he tells me that all wedding dresses look the same so it probably doesnt matter what I wear at all!

Mine didn't but we did discuss what sort of dresses he liked as I was paranoid he wouldn't like it. I also was a bit vocal when a girl on DTTB had it, he reckons he ran out of the room fast enough not to see it, but he must have had a glimpse. It was very hard for me to keep it secret from him as we do share everything! He did see my shoes, undies and my veil before the big day.
