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 tried on 8 at the first store and about 9 at the second. Then I bought a dress online without every being able to try it on! It fits perfectly.

    At least 50, probably more to be honest. I don't regret my decision.

    I went today for first time and found my dress!! Went to 2 boutiques. First boutique, I tried on 6. Second boutique, I think I tried on 10. I ended up buying the 2nd dress I tried on there.

    Was not expecting that today but I'm so excited and happy!!!

    I only went to 1 store. It was the 3rd dress I tried on. I had that same fear so I tried maybe 5 to 6 total but just wanted to be put back in dress 3 and I knew that was the one for me. You will know.

    I tried on about 6 dresses at the first boutique (actually the only boutique I went to) and decided on a silhouette I didn't even think about. Be open about options and different silhouettes. Thought I wanted an A-Line ended up with a mermaid.

    I think you should try as many in as you need to until one is WOW! There are so many styles fits and cuts and materials. Try to narrow it down and eliminate as you go so you can zero in on a certain style.

    I tried on 6. Ended back up at #1 because I kept comparing the other five to the first. I don't regret my choice for a second

    I was told not to hanger hate. Try whatever you like on and if you feel you've found the right one, then by all means say yes to the dress! Good luck!

    I tried on 5 dresses before going to a different shop and it was the first one there I fell in love with. I didn't want to see any others.

    Over 60. My mom lives out of state so when she was able to visit I planned our week with the key salons and promised myself I'd go to all my appointment even if I thought it was the one. It took me almost to the end to find it but it's amazing and had I not kept going I would have settled. So do what is right for you, and don't let the salons tell you that if you try on more than 8 you'll be confused you will know

    I think I tried on about 10. I tried on 4 at my first appointment and I found one that I liked but didn't love and the consultant was rude so I wanted to try a different place. The second shop I went to I walked in the door and I saw a dress that I had to try on, so I told the consultant and she had me try that one on last since I seemed set on it so I could try a few other styles just in case. So I get to the last dress (the one I saw when I first walked in) and it ended up being the one! I tried it on a couple times because I couldn't decide between that one and another (I'm indecisive), but I realized that it was the perfect dress for me and I love it!

    I tried on easily 50-80 but I don't know how many for sure. I'm so glad I kept looking. The dress I bought was at the last store I went to and I would have settled if I had bought an earlier dress. If you have the time, keep looking until you know it's your dress IMO
