Do all brides cry when they find their wedding dress?

I didn’t cry, but my mom teared up a little (by her report), which is a big deal considering she never cries. I was feeling overwhelmed and not used to being the center of attention the first time I tried it on. I ended up going back to the shop a week later alone to try it on and didn’t want to take it off so I bought it lol

The first time I put it on, I didn't cry. So I tried on a few other dresses, but kept thinking about the previous one. Finally, I tried it on again with a veil and I definitely cried that time! I'm typically an emotional person, and was worried about crying at every dress. I think I just stopped myself from feeling until I knew I had the one, because I didn't want to let my emotions confuse me in my decision.

Do you normally cry a lot or tend to be really emotional?

I knew there was no way I was going to have a super emotional reaction to a dress. I LOVED the dress I ended up with and the only time I cried while wearing my dress was during our first dance.

If you love your dress, don't second guess it because you weren't reduced to tears the moment you put it on.

I didn't cry at all I just got really happy and didn't want to take it off 😅

Btw I am a VERY emotional person yet I didn't cry and I'm not concerned 😂

I did not cry. I'm just not that type of person. I did feel beautiful and like a bride though. I just had this feeling. Can't describe it.

I did not cry but I was so happy and my FMIL said that I had a glow and a different reaction to it than to the other dresses that I had tried on. I had already went dress shopping for a few weeks prior to finding “the one”. I was overthinking everything and was worried I wouldnt have that bridal moment. I still love my dress a year later.

I didn't cry when I put it on and realized it was the dress, but when I took it home with me, I cried a bit. I was so happy that day.

I didn't cry! I love love love my dress but i didn't cry. It depends on the person and their willingness to become emotional over themselves. I don't like being very emotional or sentimental so it wasn't surprising to me that i didn't cry. Doesn't make me love my dress any less!

I didn't cry at mine either. It was my first time trying on dresses. My mom didn't think I was going to buy one that day. I tried on the fourth dress and got the same feeling I had in my stomach when I saw my fiance for the first time. And I also felt beautiful in it. I knew from that moment it was mine. My mom didn't cry either...she saw my face and knew! You don't have to cry to know it's your dress

View Quoted Comment Hahaha this is my goal!!

I didn’t cry either. I was more hyped than anything. But then again I’m not a super emotional person. I think you’re good! Lol don’t be second guessing. Lol I watch a lot of wedding shows including say yes to the dress and it’s a lot of emotions I thought I was suppose to have that I didn’t. I’m thinking I’ll feel it the actual wedding day.

It's funny, I never thought I would cry trying on my wedding dress. I have seen shows like "Say Yes To The Dress" and never cried for brides trying on their dress no matter how beautiful they looked/touching their story was. I just couldn't imagine really crying over a dress, you know? But don't get me wrong, I would be filled with joy watching women feel their most beautiful in a wedding dress/finding the one. Anyway, after trying on dresses at 4 different locations, and coming close to purchasing one dress that I loved but I still couldn't say yes to that dress. Good thing I didn't, because when I found my dress (my dream dress if I might add) GOSH, it was A LOT of emotions. When I tried it on, it fit like a dream and when I saw myself in the mirror-- it was such an overwhelming feeling of joy/excitement. So I was that girl sobbing ugly tears when I thought never in a million years I would do that. But everyone is different. (:

I didn't cry, I was surprised because I thought I was supposed too, just like the show lol. I ended up not buying the dress the day I tried it on but I kept thinking about it and the next day I went back tried it on again and brought it.

For my first wedding, back in 2006, I didn’t cry, but I knew it was THE dress because I didn't want to take it off. I think I pranced around in front of the mirror a few times, but there weren’t any tears from my mom or myself.

I went to my second appointment this Sunday that pass and the dress I had in mind I was gonna purchase it but for some reason my mom said try on more dresses I said ok so I’m trying on more dress I fell in love with another dress the other dress I was gonna get I try it I didn’t fell excited bout it so I try on the second dress I start to cry I’m like yup this the one I can’t wait 😊

I didn't cry when I found mine! I did, however, grin like a giant dork. It felt so right, and each time I've had it on I didn't want to take it off.

I didn't cry, neither did my mom. I just looked at myself and was super excited and happy. But I am not a crier.
I forget where I saw this wedding advance tip on finding a dress "If you are not a crier normally then way expect to cry when you find your wedding dress? TV shows have given this idea we are supposed to cry when we find The Dress but that doesn't make sense if that would be out of character for you."

The dress that I was originally supposed to buy was not the gown I cried in. David's Bridal had not saved any of my information, and they sold my dress that I reserved for alterations. When I came back to do my alterations, they apologized and said that they didn't know what happened, but my data was gone! The consultant I was with actually remembered me and said she passed the information over to someone to put in, but it didn't go in.

So, I had to go shopping again. They dress I originally described was not in stock the first time I was there, and a dress that was similar to the style was, but it did not look good on me. When I came back it was the same thing, but the alternate was a different dress. Now when I put that gown on, I broke down in tears, because I knew this was the dress that I wanted to wear, what I wanted my husband to see me in. It was $200 past my budget, so my bridesmaids chipped in (I paid them back later) and I got it.

TL;DR
You'll know that dress when you put it on. It's the dress you want to wear, and the dress you want your future S.O. to see you walking down that isle in. If the dress is out of budget, but not excessive, it is worth the extra money. You truly cannot put a price on that feeling.

View Quoted Comment Oh wow! I could not imagine how disappointing that was for them not to have your data! I am happy you found a replacement and things turned out well. I do agree that you can not put a price on that feeling.
