I am just curious to see who you took with you when you went to try on your wedding dresses and why? I actually am taking my Father along with me. I don’t have a relationship with my Mother so I thought I would bring my Dad with me because I know he would have an open opinion with me.

When the discussions started everyone wanted to go, fiance, MOH, even my photographer….
I went last Friday (planned 2 weeks in advance), fiance got called to a last minute meeting in Boston, MOH’s mother went into the hospital for emergency surgery (I know the family so I know its true) and photographer never returned my call.
Oh well, I went anyways and found the perfect dress all on my own.
I took my husband-to-be with me. He has a taste and knowledge on what’s not and what’s hot, and most of his selections were unanimously agreed by most of our friends so I had confidence always that he would pick the right choice for me.
thats cute!!! i dont know who i would take, maybe a good friend who can make me feel beautiful and prevent me from looking in the mirror and crying about how ugly i am
The first time I went, I took two bridesmaids. The second time I went, I took one of the same bridesmaids and my mom.
My mom and my aunt… my sister is very important part of my life also but she was living outside of the country so I showed her the pictures and she helped decide…
Im glad you can take your dad… My dad showed no interested at all! I was always all excited to him like look at this dress how does it look on me and do you like it? and he show no interest
Have fun!
The very first time, I took my best friend. I took her because I knew she had similar taste to mine and would be 100 percent honest if something didn’t look good on me. I love my mother and my sister, but I wanted to have a good idea of what I wanted before I went in with them. Go with someone you trust to be honest but also has similar taste to you!
Whom every you have the closes relationship with is the best person to take along. I did take my mom and at the time she was watching a little boy so I took him a long. Actually picked the dress he liked the best and he was only 5 at the time.
You may want to take your best Friend who can give you a 2nd view so the dress is perfect. Or take them after you and your dad goes just to see what they think.
I took my aunt, and my 3 bridesmaids. I wanted my mom to go, but she refused because she’s not a girly girl and said she would feel out of place.
Looking back on it, I wish my mom would have came. But, I love my dress and did try it on for her when I picked it up.
I took my Mom. I think it’s nice to take your Dad because then you get a males perspective. There was a father there with his daughter when I went and we kept asking him what his “guy” opinion was on the dresses. He got a really big kick out it. I wish I would’ve thought to ask my Dad to go.
I took my mom and 2 of my bridesmaids. It was fun!
i(the maid of honour) and the rest of our best girlfriends went as well as the mothers
No one. To be honest no one really wanted to go. I am having my dress custom made so I invited the designer out to lunch before heading to her shop and trying on samples. Since then meetings have gone just like that.
I figured she is the official on these things. And I didn’t want to make anyone else come that didn’t want to, so they would end up resenting my wedding.
i went for my first look around the other day and i took my mum and sister and my daughter. i am extremely close with them so there was no other choice really. also when i called the store that stocks the dress i like they advised me not to bring anymore than two guests because too many opinions can send the bride off in tears. so keep it minimal and only people you feel safe with and value their opinions.
I brought my mom and his mom with me. I brought my mom because she’s good to shop with, and doesn’t get mad when I get annoyed or aggravated, and I feel comfortable with her. I brought his mom because she only has 1 son (no daughters), and I knew she would really enjoy the experience.
I took my MOH and my bridesmaids…My mom passed away so I asked my dad…but he said he wanted to be surprised on my wedding day!!..Even tho he did buy it and has seen it on the hanger…Guess its different when it isn’t on…
I had fun with all the girls going with me….
Good Luck and Have Fun!!!!
I took my mom, future mother-in-law, and future sister-in-law. I figured that I would go more than once so I was going to take my maid of honor the next time but I feel in love with the second dress I tried on!
I went to try on a few times and there were four different people that were there (one was there for all):
Two of them were my close female cousins – - one of whom hand-made her own wedding gown 20+ years ago and she made both of my prom dresses for me.
The other cousin was just really excited to go since she only has sons and neither of her daughters-in-law included her in the dress shopping.
Then there was a good friend of mine. She can be rather opinionated so I knew she would be honest with what looked good on me.
The last try-on I took my sister, who is also one of my bridesmaids. She would absolutely tell me like it is – - there was one dress that I was barely out of the dressing room and she said “that looks awful on you – take it off”, I just did a u-turn and went right back into the dresssing room.
I brought my mom, my sister, and my maid of honor. I brought them because my maid of honor and I have been friends since we were 5, so she’s just like a sister to me, and it was all really important to them (and to me) that they got to be a part of it. Also, my maid of honor wanted to learn how dresses were put on (since she’ll be the one bustling and strapping me in on the Big Day).
But on the last day of dress shopping, when it was narrowed down to two dresses, I brought just my mom and dad. And when my dad got very quiet and said, “I really like that one.” I knew what my decision was.
I went with my girls frist, then when we had the number of choices down to 5, then my mom came with us, and helped get to the #1!!! My MIL came too, which was nice. Hubby never came, and didn’t see my dress till I walked down the isle……
my mom, my sister, my sister in law, my two little neices.
That is a good idea what you are doing. I went with my mother, she was dying to go with me. I was lucky, I found my dress on the first day I looked in about the fourth or so shop and didn’t have to try on many dresses to find it. I hope you find something really lovely!
My mom, my mil to be, friends.
I took my sister(MOH) my sister in Law(one of my bridesmaids) and my mom, then when I went back to try it on a second time I took my dad and my mom..my dad wanted to see it…we’re very close, he got a little teary eyed
MY friends and that was it my mother wants to wait to see me in it on my wedding day
i brought my sister, best friend & my mom
I took my mom and my sister. Their ideas are always very important for me. I really love them..
i brought my mom, 2 sister and my niece.
Me, myself and I. I first went with my mom and maid of honor. They were steering me into dresses they liked so I went back out by myself. I tried on a bunch and found the dress I wanted, but found 2 others I kind of liked too. So then I brought them back and we all agreed the one I liked was the dress. It’s OK to bring your dad with you. You can always do what I did and bring him when you have narrowed down your selections.
I took my mother, matron and future sister in law.
when i went the first time i just took my mom then when i got it narrowed down to 3 dresses i took my grandmother,MOH, mom, and future mother-in-law.
I took my father…just ignore the strange looks from ignorant women with dated opinions. I nearly dared one of them to open her mouth and say what the heck her problem was!
My dad happens to have better taste than my mother did and my mother passed away 10 years ago so he’s stuck with both roles regardless!
My daughter was home over Thanksgiving and her sister was home from college. The three of us went together and had a great time and she found the perfect dress.
When we went bridesmaid shopping and mom-of-bride shopping, it was the bridesmaids, me and the brides grandmom. The grandmother won’t be able to attend the wedding (due to health problems of the grandfather). The grandmom had a GREAT time being included in the shopping trip.
I think it’s a lovely idea to take your dad with you. He knows you well, will give you an honest opinion AND a male opinion!
when looking for dresses and trying them on, i went with my fiance. not traditional, i know. when my dress arrived, i went with my sister (bridesmaid) to try it on. after alterations, i took my best friend (maid of honor) for a last fitting.
My son was with me when I bought the dress. I went by myself for the last fitting and I wish my moh would have been there, I couldn’t do my bustle and it keep falling during the reception….lol
I took my maid of honor. We had fun. I took her because she know my style and she will be honest with me. ( and she’s my best friend) We’ve been friends since middle school
