Dad and Bride's Maids dresses


Question Posted Saturday May 14 2005, 11:04 pm

My Bride's maids and I bought their dresses today. I fell in love with these dresses right when I saw them. I showed them to my father today and he said that he did not like them at all. I felt horrible once he told me because I like them so much. Now, I don't know whether to keep them or to get ones that my dad also likes. What do y'all think?

[ Answer this question ]

Additional info, added Saturday May 14 2005, 11:34 pm:
My dad's opinion means a lot to me with my wedding. My mother passed when I was in high school so things I should be doing with her, I do with my dad. http://www.davidsbridal.com/images/fashions/full/s05_9423626_peri.jpg.

Are the dresses the ones you like or the ones your dad likes that you gave the url for? I think the ones on the site are nice! But the gloves are a bit odd, maybe a bit fancy with the gloves but without them it would be nice. Sometimes men dont have the same taste in woman. Maybe you can compromise on something with your dad, you can have something you like and something he likes. Choose which dresses you like, it is your wedding. Good Luck hun!

I know your dad's opinion means a lot to you but it is your day. If you like the dresses then you should have them, it isn't fair on you to have dresses you don't like as much because you don't want to offend your dad. I personally think that the dresses you chose are beautiful.

Were there ones similar to the ones you bought that you also liked? If so, have your dad go with you and help pick them out with you. They might not be the ones you fell in love with, but if your dad's opinion means a lot to you, he'll be happy and you'll be happy.

first off, i think that dress is GORGEOUS, lol. but i think that you should keep it because its your wedding, not your fathers. but if you really do feel badly abput this, meet your dad halfway. let him talk about what he doesnt like about the dress and what he wants, then you talk. hopefully youll be able to determine the perfect dress. hope i helped!

First of all, they are beautiful dresses. Now, who is the one getting married? You or your dad? You right. So, this is going to be YOUR day not his. You're not going to be wearing the dress, nor is he it's your bridesmaids that will be wearing them so whether or not he likes them is completely irrelevent. I think, the only time your dad should have input in the dress is YOUR wedding dress, not your bridesmaids. They are beautiful dresses, tell him that you liked them and that his opinion means everything to you and you like the dresses alot. His response SHOULD be, it's your choice, if you like them then keep them. That's all there is to it. It shouldn't be up to him what dresses they are going to be wearing.

karenR answered Sunday May 15 2005, 1:27 am:
I think that while dad may not like the dresses it is YOUR wedding. You should pick the dresses you like. Your wedding day is all about you! I think your dad will come around to liking them too. Has he said what it is he doesn't like about them? I'm sure his opinion does mean a lot to you but I doubt he will be really upset if you get the ones you like. :)

Teza answered Sunday May 15 2005, 12:07 am:
I saw the dress and it isnt that cute. Its your wedding and your friends will be wearing them. Since your dads opinion means a lot to you and if he doesnt really like the dresses, well it wont be that hard to pick other ones. There are a lot of other pretty dresses that your dad might like. But like I said it shouldnt matter to him because he wont be wearing it and its your wedding. X0`

It's your wedding duh! He's your dad of course and his opinion is always something that needs to be considered but it is your wedding! But if you feel the need to please your dad..on your wedding, try to find a dress that everyone loves.

It's your wedding, so you should get the ones you like... But since your father's opinion matters a lot to you, maybe you too should look again and find something you both agree on. :)

Personally, it is your wedding.. so he needs to realize that its your choice not his. Tell him nicely that it is your day and you really love the dresses. even try to combind the two you and he likes to get one. :) but, remember. its YOUR day. not his.
