peachesatsea asked:
I am engaged and trying to plan my wedding. We have 2 different thoughts on what our wedding should be like. He wants large and traditional, I want small and personal. 1 main reason I do not want a traditional wedding is I am not very close to my family. He is VERY close to his. 2nd I am not comfortable in dresses. I am not fat, but I am not a rail and I just do not like the way I look in any wedding dresses. How do I find a common ground? Or do I do the traditional wedding and hope I find a dress I cannot live with out?

Theres a dress for every type of figure.You don’t have to be stick thin to look good.If he is very close to his family you need to at least give him this option to have his family near.

Take a deep breath it’s supposed to be one of the happiest days in your life. The 2 of you need to come to an agreement. I have been in the wedding/event planning business for over 11 years and so many brides come to me saying I **** dresses what do I do. I always recommend to the brides who don’t like dresses to start looking early. Trust me you’ll find something you love and won’t be able to live without it. I don’t know why you’re not close to your family but maybe your wedding will bring you closer. Hopefully you and your fiance will come to agreement. You don’t want him to have to exclude his family because you’re not close to your family. That will make you and him have problems. Good Luck.

If you are willing to compromise on the guestlist, you don’t *have* to wear a wedding dress if you don’t want to but you can still have a ceremony and reception with any number of guests of your choosing.
Wedding gowns are made in a wide variety of sizes becauses women are a variety of sizes. Also, many companies are now going into “informals” dresses which aren’t the gigantic puff-ball style gowns so if you decide you want to wear a dress, you don’t have to have a gigantic ballgown style.
I am about a size 14/16 in the “real world” (larger in wedding gown sizes) and I am also quite a tomboy. My fiance & I met because of my love of cars
I didn’t want the huge ballgown but did want to wear a dress. This is not my exact dress, but very similar:
Your other option is to wear pants.
Eden bridals has a pants option for bridesmaids that could easily be worn by a bride in the cream color:

Weddings can be used as a way to bring a family together. Reconnect with your family. It is most important. Then once you have, start planning. This not only will make your wedding day better, but your marriage also. It sounds as if your fiance sees family as important and he should support you in this. If it is serious, do go to a councelor or mediator. Best wishes. And..your wedding day will be what it is, with or without everyone present. just be joyful in your union with your soon to be husband.
