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
CommentAuthorCat
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.
CommentAuthorKristina
I havent let my H2B seen anything yet, as it is at my MOH house until she comes to visit. But when i do get it, i am going to show him everything.

At first I thought I wanted to keep things a secret and see his total surprise xxx but then i couldn't help but show him some of the things and see his reaction then, I know it'll be a surprise still on the day to see it all on :-) xx

everything!
When we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours
we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying
weirdness and call it love, true love.

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 has seen everything I want. He knows me and what looks good on me better than anybody. He always chooses my clothes for me He won't see it on me untill the day but yeah I had to get his opinion. Would hate to turn up on the day and for him to think I looked rubbish!!

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
CommentAuthorVelcro
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

mine has said he doesn't want to see anything, he wants it all to be a suprise though he is buying my shoes so not sure how that will work unless he just gives me the cash? I can't wait to see his reaction on the day, just wish it wasn't so far off

H2B can see my shoes and will probably see my hair and make up trial me think but he will not see the dress he's seen a few sketches of a dress a lovely lady drew up for me and he said he cannot imagine it without colour so asked for more sketches of a certain design and it keeps the mystery there as he cannot vision the dress till He see's me walking down the aisle to him hehe =D

CommentAuthorGillianE
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 xx
CommentAuthormillz090
He has not seen my dress or shoes (they are under my desk at work and red so he wont guess either). I think he knows im wearing a veil but dont think he is expecting a catherdal length one and my hair and make up will be a secret.... xxx
Finally marrying the love of my life !!

CommentAuthorbarbie86
Mine has seen my shoes, not that he was remotely interested 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.

CommentAuthorStephanieM71
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??
CommentAuthorJillianL47
He's only seen my shoes. I wont let him see anything else!
CommentAuthorJennyHeather
He's not seeing anything hopefully if I can hide everything to do with what I'm wearing really well. Unless I just keep it at one of the parents houses.
CommentAuthorMrs Ashman2b
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)
CommentAuthorMrsLowe
My h2b has seen my tiara and shoes and jewllery thats it, i'm not going to show him my dress or veil and i'm saving my underwear to show him on the wedding evening ;) lol x
CommentAuthorTori
Hes seen my shoes but that's it. Was just too excited not to show him!
CommentAuthorNEDebz
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

CommentAuthorRachaelC80
He's seen my shoes, gloves and veil. And, a picture of the dress but I don't think he really took much notice??!! He won't see all of it together until the day!! :-)
CommentAuthorKistHall
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!)
CommentAuthorkrissy905
mine as seen it all even the dress as he was with me when i tried it on. Although he wont be seeing it again till the wedding day and its going to look totally different by the time the seamstress as finished working her magic. hes seen my shoes and also my bridal comb but i made that myself from an old tiara and its sat on the bookcase at the moment.
CommentAuthorKimD7
he hs seen the pper the pattern h been cut out of and that is as much much he is seeing until the day... he did get me the headband so has seen that and sat here when I made my birdcage veil, oh and he paid for my shoes but the dress is top secret....it is being delivered here at 11am sat 16th Marchand being put in my bm car at 11.01 lol
CommentAuthorDonnalisa
My OH has seen the dress that I want because I have had my eye on it for soooooo long before we set the date lol!... He won't see me in it until the actual day though! :o)
CommentAuthorBryonyEminson2Be
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
