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”.

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 ?

    I tried on about 5 or 6 dresses at one store but it was crowded and I wasn't feeling any of them. My friends and family loved the very first one I tried on but I didn't really get the feels. But then I went to a second shop just out of chance and tried on the only dress on the rack that was my size (it was a custom dress boutique) and within my budget... lo and behold it was the one! I felt an immediate transformation. I'm so excited to wear it for my wedding next May! When you know, you know!

    I went to a Luv Bridal shop and tried on every type of dress they had, I was stuck between my ideal dress (everyone, even people from a different bridal party, love the first dress) and a dress different then what I wanted. The consultant pulled me aside and gave me a heart to heart, we went back with my ideal dress on and put a rhinestone belt and veil on and that’s when I knew that was the one😍👰🏼

    I tried on a total of 4 or 5 dresses I think. But the one I decided on was the 3rd one I tried on. I didn't get any super emotional feeling, but I felt so good in that dress. I felt wonderful and beautiful and happy. It was a dress that was just so ME. It felt honest to me and who I am. Ignore my stupid face, but I adore my dress.

    I work at David's Bridal and I am a soon to be bride! When you get feels follow your heart I matter what # it falls on the list of trying on! I happen to fall in love with my last dress, had I tried it on first I know it would have been my pick!

    I went to 4 wedding dresses boutique in search of an outdoor kinda bohemian wedding dress. At the beginning I was losing hope since I couldn't find the look I wanted. In the third store I found one that I thought it looked wonderful on me but it didn't have the theme that I was aiming for, so I went home to think about it. I already had an appointment on the fourth store so I decided to go anyway. After trying five dresses, the sixth was the charm. I ended up finding the dress that I have always wanted. I tried a total of 25 dresses to find the right one.

    You definitely could, but I feel like its best to shop around to avoid dress regret.

    I went to 4 different appointments and tried on about 50-60 dresses 😂 after I knew the dress was “the one” I still went back one more time and tried it on one more time before I made my decision!

    Lol, I haven't started. Looked at everything else but that. Am I the only one leaving that until I have to?

    I actually never tried my wedding dress on before buying it! I’ve had my heart set on one specific Essence of Australia Dress since before being engaged and knew it was the one. I went to Davids Bridal to try on a similar dress and confirm my measurements. I then ordered my dress online from a sample sale. It arrived and I am even more in love with the dress in person. I can’t wait to wear it!

    Mine was at the second shop, but fourth over all and I stopped looking after that. It's almost a year later and every time I put it on for fittings, I still get the feels.

    I picked my dress online. It was the first dress I tried on when I went to my appointment. I still tried on 8 other gowns to please my bridal party but I knew as soon as I tried on the first dress that it was the one.

    I tried on so many dresses I honestly lost count. (It for sure had to be over 100) I was having the hardest time saying yes to the dress! I had to actually travel hours away to find my dress, at a boutique in Arizona. Don't lose hope in finding your dress! But definitely, when you know, you know.

    The 5th dress I tried on was the one. I still went to 3 more stores over a week after and tried on more dresses but ended back at the first store because none of the countless other dresses compared.

    I probably tried on over 110 dresses and went to 8 different bridal boutiques before saying yes to the dress. But that's because I knew EXACTLY what I wanted in my dress and couldn't find a dress that checked off every single detail on my list. The first ever wedding dress I tried on was definitely a top contender and I had another dress from my second bridal appointment that was also a top contender, and I initially was going to settle on either of those two dresses but had a hard time deciding which one I loved more. I'm glad I didn't because I found the one that had everything I wanted (and more!) at my last appointment.

    I tried on 6 dresses. It was dress #4 that won me over... my sister and best friend wanted me to try the last 2 "just in case".
