Tomorrow I am going wedding dress shopping for the first time! I'm hoping that I'll find the dress tomorrow but at the same time I'm nervous that if I do, I won't want buy it because I found it at the first bridal boutique I went to. How many dresses did you try on before you found your wedding...

Tomorrow I am going wedding dress shopping for the first time! I'm hoping that I'll find the dress tomorrow but at the same time I'm nervous that if I do, I won't want buy it because I found it at the first bridal boutique I went to. How many dresses did you try on before you found your wedding dress? Do you wish you had looked at more dresses before you made your decision?

    I went to four different stores and think I tried on 50 different dresses. I managed to try on more than ten at each appointment.

    I tried on maybe 8 or 10. I only went to one dress shop. It was the last dress she put on me and I just loved it!

    Thanks ladies! I decided to make an appointment at another boutique on Sunday. Hoping that between the two I'll find something!

    I tried on 6. I picked the second one I tried, we only tried a few more to be sure it was the one. Nothing else compared.

    I tried on 5! The best advice I can give you is don't try to make a dress yours when you only like one thing. You will know when you put the dress on that it is yours. Its hard to explain but you will just know and love everything about it!! Don't let anyone ever try to convince you your dress isn't yours

    I found my dress on my very first shopping trip which happened to be an impromptu thing, I honestly just wanted to go look around. I went by myself tried on 7 or 8 gowns and it was the very last one I tried.

    I think I tried on maybe 8 or 10. And I bought it at the first and only shop I went to. I specifically chose that shop because they had all of my favorite designers, but I had a back up plan just in case. My consultant was extremely efficient and if I wasn't feeling it within like 30 seconds she took me out of it. I learned to not dwell on a dress. If I didn't love it, or see myself walking down the aisle in it, I forgot about it. It is hard to do that, because there are aspects of dresses that I loved and aspects I hated. But after a few dresses it was easier. When I put my dress on, I knew. I didn't really get emotional right away, but I knew it was the one. I tried on more after that dress, and then I made my decision. I absolutely do not wish I looked at more dresses before I made my decision. My feeling is that if it feels right it's the one. It doesn't matter how many you try on or how many shops you go to. My cousin ended up picking the first dress she tried on and it was perfect for her!

    I tried on 5 total. This was #5 and the FIRST one my consultant picked out for me all by herself. Trust the experts!

    I tried on about 10-15 dresses. I found my dress the first time I went! I did not expect to. But as soon as I put it on I knew it was the one! Take your time an make sure it's what YOU want!
