How many till you found “the One”

So I went wedding dress shopping for the first time Saturday, and when I put the 3rd dress on I got “the feels”. My MOH and consultant didn’t even want me to try on anymore bc they said that that one was the one, and I agree! But I still went home to think it over. Could I have possibly found “the one” on the 3rd dress tried on ? How many dresses did you try on before you found the one ?

    Absolutely it could be the one!
    My dress I chose was the second one I tried on. I did however go to one other place the same day and didn’t even last an hour there because everyone and myself compared it to the other dress!
    If it feels right, GET IT ☺️☺️☺️

    I looked at like 1,000 + (not and exaggeration) dresses online before I found one I fell in love with and ordered it asap because there was only 1 left on my size. After it was delivered I tried on 3 more at the store and no other dress compared! I love my dress I’ve even added things to it to really make it my own.

    My second dress. I knew right away that it was "the one". My mom and god mother even said that it was "the one". Absolutely love it. I can't wait to wear it down the aisle.

    If you’re torn you may want to think it over so you don’t have dress regret, or buy it and wait to get it altered, if you have time. But if you know it’s the one and everyone else says it then it’s the ONE!

    It was my 5th, I think? I went to DB and tried on a few and had a top pick from there. I went to a small bridal shop a few weeks later and it was the 1st dress the consultant put me in. I tried on a few others after, and then went right back to that 1. My whole group and I agreed it was perfect. I didn't cry, but I just felt so beautiful and so excited for my fiance to see me in it.

    I tried 3 before putting "my drese" on but that's because I waited purposely to try on the one I went there for specifically. I tried white dresses on for my mom.

    I technically bought the second dress I tried on. The first dress didn’t fit at all and I didn’t even come out of the dressing room. I showed my fiancé the second dress and we both loved it so I bought it.

    By the way although he saw the sample dress my actually dress looks a lot better, especially with the veil. So he has an idea of what the dress looks like but he hasn’t seen the actually dress or it with all of the accessories.

    I subsequently bought two more dresses on Tradesy. One of them I will wear for our courthouse ceremony and again for our dinner reception in Paris. I would have worn all three dresses if alterations wouldn’t have been so expensive.

    Tried on 5 dresses and even put a deposit on one but I didn’t LOVE it. I was just out buying lunch one day (8 weeks til wedding) when I noticed a bridal shop next door. I saw it on the mannequin through the window and fell in love. Tried it on and it made me feel like a million bucks. I had to have it.

    I looked online at dresses for a month or so. Everything I found I compared to it. I went to a local dress shop by appointment tried on probably 10 dresses or so. Very discharged I went looking for my Dtr MOH dress and as we were looking I decided to take a gander at wedding dresses again and found 3 more different ones I liked. I liked the 2nd one better then the first so I eliminated dress #1, then tried on dress # 3 and was like I like this one better than #2. Got the dress fitted a little better walked out to a better lighting & looked at the whole picture & cried. I knew it was "the one". I bought it on the spot. I am excited and can't wait to have it altered & try it on again.

    It is quite possible. I went for fun just before getting engaged. My best friend and I thought I had a dress picked but it wasn't "the one." After getting wngaged, I grabbed Mama, Grandma, and BFF to go dress shopping for real. Tried on what I thought was "the dress" as the first and they didn't love it. Grandma picked out dress #5 and she did so good that SHE picked my wedding dress.

    It is VERY possible to find “the one” with the third dress. You’re a lucky one! My best friend and sister in law purchased their third dress. I tried on 16 dresses before I found the one! I was a little discouraged but I kept going. I cried for dress #7 and #11 and tried #7 again but didn’t get the same feels. I was about to leave and make appointments elsewhere but decided to try on ONE more and what do you know?! When you know, you know. 👌 Maybe try on others and then go back to your third dress and if you still feel the same and don’t want to take it off, get it ASAP!

    I think I tried on 6-8 dresses and it only took about an hour. When you know you know.

    Mine was the first dress that I put on. I just knew instantly. However, since it was the very first one I tried on about 6 or 7 after that? I wasn't feeling any of them lol.

    I went to one shop just to peak tried on 5 or 6 and found the one. I tried on one more after that was pretty similar and was torn and then put the other back on and knew it was the one. It was also completely different than what I thought I wanted.
