Secret or Sharing? - Your outfit

Joey, on June 3, 2019 at 08:32 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 32

Are you keeping your wedding outfit a closely guarded secret? Have you shown it to your wedding party, or maybe just to one or two close confidants? Are you sharing pics of it with everyone except your partner? Or is it not a secret at all?

Are you keeping your wedding outfit a secret or are you showing it off before the big day?

    My dress is being kept secret. The only people that know what it looks like is my mom, dad and my moh since they were at the bridal store when I bought it!

    My mom was with me when we found it, I'm gonna bring my grandma to see it when it comes in, my future sister in law came to see it and my MOH will see it when we go for our fittings. It's a secret for everyone else though, if I show anyone else is a photo of the dress from a catalog, not on me

    Sharing it with only the BMs and mothers, for opinions. Otherwise I want to surprise everyone! Smiley smile

    I have shared a photo of me in my dress to many people, mostly people who aren't invited actually! My bridesmaids and mom will see it in person, in advance, at my final fitting. Other than that it can be a surprise for my FH + our family and friends.

    I have showed it to my gmail, bridesmaid that was not able to be there to help me pick it out. And coworkers because none of them are being invited. Other than that it’s a secret

    Not a secret, FH saw me in it before I went for my first fitting.
    I purchased 3 wedding dresses (!!!) so I could pick my favourite. We are just eloping, so there isn't any big reception. I'm kind of thinking I may change from my very full aline into a mermaid gown when we go for dinner. It will be easier to move in. Sort of ridiculous level of excess for an elopement, but who cares, right?

    *That* dress would be a surprise for FH.

    With the exception of my mom and sister who were there when I picked it out, secret! My FH wanted to be surprised, and, due to a phone camera oops, I don't have a picture to share of it anyway! lol

    My dress is going to be a complete surprise with the exception of my mom, mother in law and maid of honour whom will be dress shopping with me! I want people to be surprised when they first see me and to do a first viewing with my bridesmaids.

    It's not really a secret. I've shown several people pictures of it.

    The only people who will see the dress beforehand are my mom, sisters, and MIL. No one will see the outfit in its entirety.

    Shared with my family only as to knowing what's being worn. The hat for my husband was bought in front of our MOHs which wasn't supposed to happen.

    No one's seen the outfit in its entirety but I've shared pieces of it (i.e. shoes, dress, head piece).

    I've been pretty open about it - I'm too excited! The only person I really care about being surprised by it is my FH.

    My dress is getting custom made but when we start designing it, I'll probably only show the designs to my bridesmaids and maybe my mom and keep it a secret for everyone else haha

    Secret, for the most part. I did share my dress with some women in my life but accessories and my hair trial were not shown to anyone.

    I'm keeping it secret from everyone save for the three people (MOH, FMIL and mom) who were with me when I chose the dress.

    Lol. I’m working with a seamstress to make it so there’s nothing to show anyway. At this point it’s just a piece of cloth and and nobody wants to see that! 😂

    Pretty secret - just the moms and my MOH knows what I'm wearing. I did show the earrings to my FH though lol. I wanted his opinion.

    Only my parents and my sister know what I'm wearing. I only have 22 guests, so I can't tell all that many people or everyone will know! My FH actually came with me to try on my very first dress, which was the one I ended up choosing. I tried on about 10 other dresses and was still in love with the first one. He doesn't know that I chose that one, so it will be a bit of a surprise I guess.

    I've shared it with a handful of people. I had to stop myself from sending the picture of my dress to every single girlfriend, because I got super excited!

    My step mom, sister, MIL and grandma all saw the dress when I tried it on. We took pictures of this dress and have shown the wedding party. But I ordered the dress in a different colour than what I showed everyone. So the only people who have seen the actual dress I will be wearing are my sister, grandma, step mom, and I think I showed my Dad.

    My immediate family came with me to see it as well as my FMIL. The rest have seen pictures of the model in it but even that was only shown to a handful of people that are close to me.
