I would think that most CDs would really enjoy going to weddings if for nothing else just to see all the lovely Dresses.
But has Anyone her Ever completed the Trifecta
Have you ever Tried on a Wedding Dress, if so how many ?
Have you ever Tried on a Brides Maids Dress, If so how Many ?
The Hardest of all, did you ever try on a Flower Girl Dress ?
Lastly, if you have any fun stories connected to the Wedding Fantasy, Please Share
Unfortunately I Have only tried on Bridesmaids dresses, About 5 of them with only me and the mirror, but it was fun !

Biggest bucket list fantasy yet to be fulfilled, although I own three bridesmaid/flower girl dresses which drive me crazy when I wear them!

I have tried on a number of Wedding Dresses at second hand stores, as well as brides maid dresses. Most embarrassing was the time the zip got stuck. After much trying to free it, or get out of the dress, I had to call for help, which wasn't as bad as I thought.

Of course Sherry's got a few bridal gowns and quite a few bridesmaid outfits. Even filmed a complete wedding scene starring her a few years back.:daydreaming:
But, I've haven't been a flower girl----------------------------------------------yet!:heehee:

Nay to those three but do have the Mother of the Bride dress. It is almost impossible to fit into it anymore, but used to love wearing the beautiful teal dress.

As far as wedding fantasies go, my wife and I are renewing our vows this year. We will both have a cute wedding dress. Closed ceremony just us and the animals.

There is a wedding dress store right next to the salon I get my hair cut. Yesterday I was enjoying window shopping there and this being June the wedding dresses were absolutely beautiful. Last month was prom dresses which were also nice.
No I have not tried any of the three on but still hold out hope.

I've been in weddings (mine and others) in dress shirts and slacks to suits to tuxedos. No, I've never worn any of the stuff you mentioned. :(

I have had a couple of appointments for wedding dresses and brides maid dresses, but not at the same time. Not a flower girl dress, but a mother of the bride dress. Alas, none were worn outside of the shop. I was treated so nice and I felt prettier than ever before. Definitely a princess moment! Or, I guess, a Queen mother moment, in the case if the mother of the bride dress.

I have had a bachelorette party at a piano bar, another time at a four story eight venue nightclub, and another time another at a smaller nightclub. At the piano bar everyone was buying us drinks. At the smaller nightclub I was the focus of many group and selfie photos.
I went to a bridesmaids party sponsored by a local pop music station. Wearing one of my gowns. I won the bouquet tossing contest where we had to toss the bouquet over our shoulder in to a target. The first prize was a spa day. there was a first, second, and third prize. I suggested that they shift all the prizes down one so the second place got my prize, second prize to third place and so on.
I have a couple of wedding dresses and a bunch of bridesmaid types. Have worn them out to parties.
Have fun

I own 4 wedding gowns, but I've only tried one of them on. They're so hard to get into and out of without help. I bought one of my wedding gowns on eBay. The seller texted me asking if I wanted a wedding veil also. Of course I said yes. I think that she pickup up on it being for a "weeding fantasy", but neither she nor I explicitly mentioned it.
I've been to the Gala Ball at Keystone 12 times, either in an evening gown or a cocktail dress. Many of them were heavily sequined, but the rest could easily pass as bride's maid dresses, I guess.
I went one makeover and photo session, and I was photographed in 4 different outfits. One of the outfits was a wedding dress. It was several sizes too small and it was held together buy clips in the back. But, I got a set of front-facing photos in the wedding dress where you couldn't see the clips. Some of the photos even included a faux bouquet of flowers. My profile pic is one of the wedding dress photos, but it's a headshot so you can't see the wedding dress.
Once Amanda found out I was into wedding dresses, she took pics of me in an Indian-themed wedding dress. She even had Indian-style earrings.
I have three more wedding dresses to try one if I can get a volunteer assistant and an appropriate venue. Since I have 4 wedding dresses, we can both wear wedding dresses, or I can provide a bride's maid dress.
I have a Lesbian cousin who got married (to a girl, obviously) where both girls wore different wedding dresses.

I was lucky enough to have the wedding dress experience, organized by my BFF Michelle:

There are also a couple of non-wedding dresses pictured in the thread, though they might be more "mother of the bride" than "bridesmaid." I did get a couple of satin bridesmaid dresses as part of my initial "crossdresser starter kit" haul, but I blew out the zippers on both and threw them away before getting any pics (this was back in the '90s, before digital photography and cellphones made picture-taking a trivial undertaking). I've never had occasion to do the flower-girl thing.

I have one wedding dress which my sister has seen me wear. She helped me into it. I am hoping to wear it for another lady soon.

I have tried on wedding dresses three different times at Davids Bridal all 3 times I entered the store and told the sales associates I want to browse the dress racks and every time I was encouraged to pick out a few to try on. The ladies were incredible and made me feel very special 2 of the 3 visits I was crossdressed. All my visits were during week days at off peak times Im sure this help with the ladies willingness to encourage me to try on the dresses.
As far as brides maid dresses I have worn 4-5 of my wifes over the years of course this was in the privacy of our home and without her knowledge.
Never worn a flower girl dress but that sounds intriguing.
I have worn a mother of the brides dress once.

OK. I give up. I reread the Crossdresser's Manual and couldn't find the answer. What qualifies "bridesmaid" dresses and how are they different from "mother of the bride" dresses"? Also, what is a "flower girls" dress.

I have tried on a number of wedding dresses, this one is my favorite.

And I have tried on a number of gowns that could have been bridesmaids dresses.
But who would believe an old flower girl or even make a dress that would fit me? Lol.

I've done a bridesmaid/Mother of the bride dress, but not the bride, yet. I have no interest in "flower girls" (or any little girl for that matter) as they lack aspects like makeup, and interesting fem parts that excite me.

I?m 0/3. However, one day my wife and I were looking for something to do and were passing a Bridal shop in Nashua, NH . I said we could go in and she could try on dresses ( even though we?d been married for years) she said that I should . I was totally in boy mode and we didn?t actually have an appointment so I declined. We?ve never revisited that situation.

When I was talking about a Flower Girl dress I was thinking maybe when you were young your tried on one of your sisters ?
My sister's were never flower girls but I did try on their first communion dresses which were very close as were their Easter Dresses.

I never was "attracted" or had an interest in young girl things even when I was little. I always liked teen girls and up, myself, even then.

I have tried on one wedding gown, but alas it was a tad small for me and I didn't get the full effect.
I've worn a bridesmaid dress a few times, but never in a wedding.
I've never worn a flower girl dress and don't know that that is really a thing for me.
I would love to wear a gown when we renew our vows next year, but with family unaware I doubt that will happen, except perhaps in private after the rest is over.

My opportunity hit when my daughter got married, my daughter wanted to try on my wife's wedding dress in which meant she had to open the sealed box in was in. My daughter didn't like the dress and my wife wanted to wait till after her wedding and she was going to have both dresses sealed in a display box. That meant my wife's dress was out and I asked her if I could try it on. She told me this was probably going to be the best opportunity and it felt so amazing and surprisingly heavy and asked her how she wore it all day. After my daughter was married my wife ask me if I wanted to try on her dress before she brought it to the dry cleaners and have it wrapped and sealed. Her dress also felt so amazing and it was much more comfortable and I had a few more days of fun with both dresses before she brought them in. The only bridesmaid dresses I tried was my daughters that she left here after she moved out. They also felt so amazing

I have never gotten to wear a bridesmaid or a flower girl dress. But I do own my own wedding dress. Unfortunately I have yet to convince my wife to let me wear it to renew our vows....

Yes, wedding dresses are my favorite things in the world!!! :)
When I was little, my mother made me try on my sister?s flower girl dress. She took a picture of me and showed it to everyone for years. I wasn?t enjoying my attraction to cross-dressing so I was ashamed of this photo. :o
It took me several years to find where my mother hid her wedding dress and I had to be very patient to have the opportunity to try it on secretly. Later, I was also able to try my big sister?s one in the same conditions. Two very beautiful dresses. :battingeyelashes:
When I started living alone, I squandered my first paychecks to buy myself beautiful dresses on the internet, including bridesmaids dresses and a simple but pretty wedding dress. Then one day I ordered an absolutely gorgeous (and very expensive) princess style wedding dress with my first blonde wig, a veil, bridal lingerie, white pumps and jewelry with white pearls. I even bought a nice bouquet of flowers for my most amazing photoshoot of my life. Two bad news: I have since resold the dress for financial reasons and I lost the photos because of a broken hard drive. :sad:
I dream of buying a new one but I'm waiting to find a husband :daydreaming:

I once had the opportunity to try on my sister's wedding dress. I love wearing dresses, but that one felt so impractical that I wondered how they manage to wear them for so long.

Let us expand the trifecta to five outfits. Bride, bridesmaid, flower girl, mother of the bride, and wedding guest.
Bride. I have two bridal gowns, the older one a 50s style and the newer one from 2010. All the undergarments to wear them correctly.
Bridesmaid. The closest I came was almost convincing my favorite cousin (I have 44 first cousins, none of them removed) to let me try on her bridesmaid dress in 1970. Beautiful yellow dress, 70s style with puff sleeves and floppy hat. How we survived 70s fashion, I will never understand.
Flower girl. At age five, I tried to convince my youngest aunt (age 10 at the time) to let me try but with the same luck as the bridesmaid request. My flower girl days are long since over.
Mother of the Bride. I have a floor length deep purple gown, a winter MOB gown, that fits me and the occasion.
Wedding guest. I have several dresses appropriate for a guest. The best one is my Maggie London Illusion Yoke LBD. It is a wonderful dress. Yes, I have worn it to a wedding.
I go to wedding shows from time to time. They have all of these dresses there and more. When asked why I as an old guy in drab attend wedding shows, my cover is that I am there to save what remains of my financial skin. I get a laugh and no further trouble. I enjoy most the bands that provide samples of their music for the show. It is great fun whirling little old ladies around the dance floor.

I had the opportunity to wear both my sisters wedding dresses, one was a very plain dress which I didn't really like, but, as it was a wedding dress I couldn't pass up the opportunity to wear it, later in the same year my other sister got married and had a gorgeous wedding dress, I couldn't wait to try it on, eventually got the chance, had it on and was admiring myself in the mirror, it felt amazing, then I heard a knock on the front door, I almost died on the spot, it was a neighbour dropping off a wedding present, I never moved so fast taking off the dress and putting on my clothes to answer the door, as I knew she wasn't going away or might see me through the window. After the neighbour left, I went back and tidied up the room, making sure everything was back in it's place and the dress wasn't damaged. My mom and sisters returned less than a half hour later, unfortunately I never got another opportunity to wear the dress again or any other wedding dress since. I did also get to wear my sister's Bridesmaid dress for my other sisters wedding. Never had the opportunity to wear a flower girls dress when I was younger.

I've never really wanted to try a wedding dress, or even a bridesmaid dress. But I did have a two piece suit, by Jaques Verte which I found in a charity shop, still with the original price labels and tags, and an absolute bargain at just ?5. I wore it to the only school reunion that I ever attended, hateful experience, all that bragging about the size of their cars houses and mortgages. The main reason for mentioni g it is that I went to an all boys grammar school.

Never tried a wedding dress and have no desire to be a flower girl at my age.
I did wear a bridesmaid dress that my wife had. She was in the wedding party and I got to try it on before it didn't fit either of us.

No bridesmaid dresses or flower girl dresses, but I do have a bridal gown. It doesn't fit quite right; gotta lose some weight to get it to fit right. But, I have it! Best of all...my wife bought it for me :) No, we're not renewing our vows. That would be fun though, to do it dressed in that dress :)
