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?

    We are planning from multiple states, so i went shopping alone, with my mom, and with my step mom. I tried on TONS and ended up purchasing one of the last few. I realistically could have picked one dress at almost every shop I went to though. At some point the more you look, the more conflicted you feel.

    I scheduled appointments at 3 bridal salons (I have two sisters & a mom that live in multiple states , so I wanted to find it with all of them in town). The first place had me try on a lot of different styles. I liked a lot of them, but didn't feel like I had to have any of them. The second stop is where I found the dress. They actually pulled 2 amazing dresses and I loved them both. I knew it would be one of the two and called and cancelled the 3rd appointment without any regret. I flip-flopped between the two when I realized I had to just walk away and take some time to think without being in one. I walked around for about 20 minutes and knew which dress I wanted with 100% confidence. Good consultants will let you take the time you need, don't let anyone push you to decide right away. I'm not sure I would have chosen the one I truly wanted if I had made the on-the-spot decision. Dresses are expensive and you should have the peace of mind that it's exactly what you want!

    I tried on 4 dresses, but saw the dress I wanted the moment I walked in the store. Another bridal party was standing in front of it and I didn't want to be rude and push my way in. The first 3 dresses were beautiful but didn't make me feel like a true bride. I truly went to the store just to get a feel for what I liked and I ended up buying my dress! Oops lol.

    I tried on 8 dresses total. The dress I chose was the second one I tried on. But I had to keep trying more to be sure. Nothing even came close to comparing to the way I felt in "the one." Call me cliché but when you find the one, you will know! I never would have thought I would cry over a wedding dress, but there were definitely water works!

    I tried on seven dresses at one appointment. I initially went to try on a dress my fiance and I loved, but was too expensive. The fourth dress I tried on was the only one I loved. I tried on other dresses, but nothing lived up to the fourth one so I bought it. I have looked at dresses online and in stores, but only looking. I know my dress is mine and I don't need or want another.

    I went to 3 stores and tried on 5 at the first store, 8 at the second store and had an appointment at the 3rd store but knew it would be a dress from one of the first 2 stores but went anyway "just in case" and tried on almost 15 dresses. I went back to the first and second stores to try on the one I liked best from each and ended up going with the last one I had tried on from the second store. If I didn't have an appointment already scheduled at the 3rd store I never would have gone there and when I went back to the first store I kept comparing the dress to the one from the second store so I knew the one from the second store was the one I wanted.

    About 10 I think. I found my dress at the first and only place I went. I have no dress regret but wish I went other places just to try on more because I had so much fun!
