Multiple bridal appointments?

Kelsey, on December 5, 2017 at 4:27 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 17

I am planning on going wedding dress shopping next month and I'm wondering how many stores you went to that day? People have been telling me to make multiple appointments but so far I've just made one at a bridal salon that seems to have a lot of options. I may be optimistic but I'm hoping to not have to go to multiple places! Thanks <3

    I would have been miserable trying to get to multiple stores in a day. I made one appointment first, when I didn't find the dress that day I made another elsewhere for another day.

    I only did 2 and I found my dress. Thing is I already knew what I was looking for and it turned out great. I think I'd do more in one day if it's hard to get free time to do so.

    That's what I was thinking! My mom and sister live out of state, and will just be here that weekend to come shopping with me. I figured if I don't find something the first time around, I could go another time with friends etc. thanks!

    I made three appointments. The first one was a week before the other two. I found my dress at the first appointment! I tried on 9 dresses at the first place. Make sure you try on a few more dresses even if you think you found the one. Also try on styles that you think you might not like just to make sure. Good luck! This was one of my favorite parts of the process!

    I did two in one day but we had a break in between and I was fully prepared to cancel the second one if I was feeling tired or not up to it.

    We did two appointments in one day. Did an early day appointment. Was disappointed by the shop and the stylist. Then we all had lunch and headed to the second appointment in the afternoon. My grandmother had come in from out of state and my mother and MIL came in from out of town. So we wanted to do multiple shops in one day.

    I had three appointments in one day. We had lunch after the first and I found my dress at the second but wanted to go to the third to be sure. It was an exhausting day but the only day my mom, sister, aunt ( who generously offered to buy my dress) and I could get together with enough time to order the dress. In the end I'm glad it was done in one day.

    I've done one appointment already and I think I've found the dress I want, but I have another one set up for next week to look at different dress styles in combination with different accessories. Gotta make sure before committing. And it's fun to dress up Smiley smile

    I was one and done. My friends who went to multiple salons didn't do more than one a day. They said it was too overwhelming.

    I did 2. One in the morning and one after lunch. I think any more than that would be overwhelming.

    I wouldn't suggest more than 2. You'll get tired pretty fast!

    I went to 5 haha. Three separate days, spread out. Just start somewhere and if you don't find anything, set up another appointment somewhere else!

    I only went to 2 places total, but I booked two appointments in one day. I ended up finding my dress at the morning appointment so I cancelled the afternoon one. If you're going on a weekend, I'd say book two (probably not 3) and if you find something you love at the first one, you can skip the 2nd appointment.

    I found my dress at the first shop, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on another great dress, so I went to 3 other places. I only tried on dresses at 2 other ones though.
