Answer 1

First of all , why does your fiance CARE?

My husband showed up, said I DO, and that was it, I did all the colors, dresses planning... if he told me no.... I'd have lost it especially over girls dresses. What the heck. Tell him thats fine, but you don't like tux's....

Answer 2

I agree with him - those skirts are cute on little girls, but they make adult women look like cupcakes. It's a matter of taste, I guess.

That being said, I think you should let your bridesmaids weigh in on the matter. If they love it, just tell him it's their choice, they have to pay for it and wear it. But that kind of silhouette doesn't appeal to everyone and certainly isn't flattering on everyone. I think it's great you're getting his feedback, but don't forget the girls who have to wear the results of your decisions.

Answer 3

I like that dress, i think it is beautiful, my bridesmaids will be in simular apparel and the flower girl dress is the exact one you have, with a choc brown sash. It compliments my dress because it has pick ups too.. and I don't know why people hate on that I think it is beautiful, a great change from gowns which just drop straight down to the floor.. that makes it seem so plain to me, regardless of how the top looks... I just love pick ups, and it doesnt make you look like a "cupcake" that is an ignorant statement. It is your day and you should have what you want, if that is it than go for it, who cares what everyone else thinks. People on yahoo answers can diss the pickups but everyone who saw me in my dress so far LOVED it, I didn't get a single bad comment. It was just stunning. And when else in your life will you be able to wear it?

Answer 4

your dresses are really cute!

Answer 5

I'm not really a big fan of the pick up skirts either - but, if that is what you want I don't see why your fiance would care. It's not like he has to wear it, right?

Here are a few dresses that I think are nice.

I can see why your fiance doesnt' like the skirt of these dresses. It's not flattering. I'm sorry! Here's an idea where you can change the tops/bottoms to whatever style you want. I personally like the style the model is wearing  -

BROWN WITH BLUE SASH INSTEAD -

Ever consider something that you could wear after the wedding?

Here's a picture of brown/blue bridesmaids, which works really well:

As far as the style of the dresses you posted, they're very nice! Just make sure that the formality of the dresses matches your style and venue. If you're having a more casual, relaxed, or even only semi-formal wedding, they might be too dressy. Go for something knee-length in that situation.

Answer 9

if your girls all agree they love this dress and they are paying for them then they should get to have the final say.  

he doesn't have to wear it so he shouldn't really care either way - however if you do ignore his thoughts then don't be surprised if he ignores your ideas on the way he suits up his men! good luck and happy wedding!
