Is it ok for the groom to help the bride pick out her dress?

Traditionally No! People would say NO! But, If your Fiance is your Bestfriend like mine is...then you'd feel more comfortable doing so...Sometimes it's ok to break away from Tradition you know? lol! But whatever makes you feel better. He can have an opinion as to what it'll look like and you can incorporate both styles into one!

But, at the end of the day...it's what makes you HAPPY!!!
Good luck!
 
I think it’s wonderful that your fiancé wants to help! But the bridal gown should be a choice the bride makes based on what’s allowed at your venue and personal preference.
My husband wanted to help me out too! It started out innocent enough but we ended up in more than a few arguments over style, sleeve length, train and what-not.
While his intentions were good, and I’m sure you’re fiancé’s are as well, keep this one wedding detail for you. Encourage his help on wedding colors, napkin designs and invitation wording! Good luck!
 
My boyfriend is my best friend and we literally tell each other everything, he was my angel when I was trying to pick out a dress for graduation. I already know that picking a wedding dress without him seeing it at all would be impossible. I think there is nothing wrong with letting him look online with you, but don't tell him what kind you ultimately decide on or let him see you in it.
Besides its your wedding so if you want his help in the store there is nothing wrong with that either. Its your day do what will make you happiest.
 
First of all it is bad luck for the groom to see the bride in her wedding dress anytime before the wedding. Secondly, you want to surprise him. It is okay to show him dresses you were thinking about and see what he thinks but never tell him what you bought, are buying or let him see the dress.
 
Me and my future hubby have discussed the style of dress, and he has shown me a few that he liked. But I have not shown him my searches, or the dress that I have my eye on. I think it is bad luck for him to see it at any point before I start my walk..

Congratulations and good luck
 
traditionally the guys doesnt shop with you and doesnt see you until the wedding day.
but if you guys arent all traditional and that is not important to either of you then i would see if he wants to shop with you. my honey and i are bff's and it killed me to go shopping with out him. it was hardest!!!!
 
Traditionally NO
But if you want him to then way not!
I have shown my man the dress I will be wearing (I showed him a picture) he will not get to see the real thing till the day.

I think you should do what you think is best, why not let him help pick he has good taste and is actually going to be helpful.
 
That's what i'm doing too:) it gives you an idea of what he likes and what you like too. It's like when he tells you-you look good in something and then you want to wear it more because he complimented you on it. If he does the same with the dresses then you'll know exactly which one you'll want:) I wish you luck on it too, picking a dress is such a pain.
 
Traditionally nope, but you can show him a few pictures cause should be nice to know how your boyfriend would like to see you in your special day don´t you think so???
 
No, Traditionally he shouldn't have any idea what your dress will look like. However, people are swaying from tradition, so if you want him to help, by all means, he can. It's your wedding.
