    Well the title says it all really! I know the tradition is the groom doesn't see the dress normally until the day. And a lot of people don't let their hubby to be see any part of how they'll look until the day. Just wondering how much you're showing your hubby to be? xxx

    Have showed mine my shoes and veil and he's obviously going to be about when I have my hair and make-up trial, but keeping my dress hidden until the day :-) xxxx

    I really trust my H2Bs opinion on what I look good in more than my mum or friends, so he has seen my dress and all the accessories I have so far.

    That's what I'm like, I'm RUBBISH at keeping things from him, I always tell him what I've got him for his birthday etc cos I get too excited haha. I say 'possibly' my shoes as I'm not planning on showing him but I know what I'm like! I've already got my veil though & had that since last year & haven't shown him, so I'm doing well there! xx

    Woo, go me! Lol. Totally unrelated question here, but when are readings done in the ceremony? Is it before or after the vows? As I'm choosing readings but can't find anywhere that tells me the answer & I'm rambling on to myself on my wedding planner thread, like a mad woman! Lol xx

    Mine isn't going to see anything, he doesn't know the colour of my dress or how I am having my hair, but then neither does anyone else apart from my mum so my whole outfit apart from my shoes (because I couldn't resist showing the girls them) will be a complete surprise to everyone, even my bridesmaid. xx

    I've only got the dress so far, dunno if il show him anything else, BeinG a man, I doubt he'd be that interested if I showed him shoes or accessories anyway. Tough he may see them if I keep them here rather than at my mums. He definately won't be seeing the hair or make up till the day though

    I like to be traditional and not let my oh see my dress til the day, i want it to be a surprise, however i also really want to show him my dress when i go pay the deposit. As like some of you have said, i really trust his judgement as he is really honest. I know what he likes and what i like and i just want it to be perfect. He keeps asking me what my dress looks like but keeping saying i won't tell him anything. lol

    He knows what my dress is like (strapless, lace) but hasn't seen it; but when I bought it I called and described it and asked his opinion as I bought it really far in advance at a sample sale.

    Its gonna be hard - as I can't normally keep anything a secret from him - but NOTHING!! I will not be showing him anything I have for my day as I want it to be a complete surprise on the day. Ooooh except the bouquet maybe as i'm sure he will be there for flower ordering etc, but figure that isnt really 'outfit' lol.

    On another point are us ladies going to see the suits they are wearing in advance or do we also want a surprise??

    i've shown mine my shoes and he accidently can accross my gloves i thought i had put them away after showing my mum but i left them out. Funnily it was him that was worried about seeing things and it being bad luck. he doesn't know it yet but after that i was a bit worried so i've bought some different gloves which compliment my dress so much better i guess it was fate!? I want as much as possible for it to be a surprise he doesn't see me in dresses often so i can't wait to be his princess for the day veil and all :0)

    Mine has seen a picture of me trying on my dress but I've lost a stone or so since then and I'm having it slightly altered so it will look a bit different on the day, he helped me choose my shoes and will see different hair styles as I trust him the most to tell me what looks best. I would be happy letting him see anything because he won't see it all together until on the day

    I'm so jealous of everyone that managed to show their OHs the dress! I soo want to show mine to my H2B because he knows me and what looks good, and it would give me so much extra confidence to know he liked it, plus he's the one I'm going to all the effort for so will be awful if he's disappointed, but my mum would murder me if I tried to show him, and she's scarier than I am worried about him being disappointed (though that has been after him spending several hours reassuring me he'll be happy if I turn up in a potato sack, so its not worth upsetting my mum over, but still....so jealous of everyone who got to show theres off!)

    Im so bad at keeping things from my OH but hopefully he will see nothing- this is made easier by him being away most of he time- but he knows what style of dress i want because i asked him for his opinion since he always tells me straight and usually makes me feel even better about my choices, but i will be more excited for the day if he hasnt seen any of it :D
