How did you know it was “the one”??

I picked a dress to try that my mom and sister thought was "meh, ok". But as soon as I tried it on, and came out they both started tearing up. I loved it. It was so comfortable, it had all the things that I wanted (straps, a-line, etc.) It was also unique and not something that I had seen before. I didn't want to take it off. And every time I think about it, I smile. Can't wait for my alterations appointment! So maybe try on something different that you might not normally have considered. You should love it and want to wear it for more than just your wedding day!

It's hard to explain how I knew, I just KNEW. I got a feeling I can't explain. Even though I fell in love in love with my dress, I didn't buy it right away because it was my first appointment. But after that dress, nothing else came close. I eventually tried it on again at a different store and there was absolutely no way I wasn't getting that dress. When the right dress comes along you will KNOW.

I had been looking online for months. I had two picked out as my favorites, both very different in style but I knew I wanted tulle, maybe a bit of lace. At my first appointment I showed them these two dresses and while they didn't have either, they did have one that was the same shape as my favorite, just in a different fabric. I cried and loved it so much. The fabric was beautiful but the dress was more than my budget, and I had my second appointment the next day at another shop. That trip was a bust but I finally got to try on a tulle dress and between the two days I realized my #1 choice was the one I wanted to wear on my wedding day. I ordered it online and waited a couple of weeks for it to come in with alterations I requested. When it arrived I rushed home to try it on and cried again. I knew I had chosen the perfect dress for me. I don't think everyone cries, but the dress should definitely make you feel beautiful.

I think having a good consultant really helps - I definitely don't have a good eye for dresses when they're on the hanger, and someone who's job is to know the dresses in that store can tell you what should look good on you, even if it's something you wouldn't have picked out yourself. I found my dress in a true to form systematic kind of way. I followed the advice of my consultant who had picked out around 12 dresses for me to try on, and tried them on one by one. After the second, I compared the first two, and if I didn't like one as much as the other, it went back on the floor. The favorite between the two stayed in the dressing room. And then I repeated that process until I was down to two dresses I liked, tried them both on again, and ultimately chose the one I liked more. It wasn't a teary eyed "this is the one" kind of moment, but I love my dress and I'm still super happy with my choice.

I almost didn't try it on. I loved the one i'd tried on just before. I only tried it on because my niece/MOH had picked it. As soon as I put it on, it felt like "me" I loved the fit, the cut, the slight shimmer of the fabric. Once I walked out and my niece gasped I knew. I didn't cry, but I didn't think I would. I just felt right. I could see myself in it, and I could picture the look on Rob's face.

my dress the day I said yes

I knew as soon as I walked out of the room that the first one was a hard no. Loved it on the site. Hated it on my short body.

Then I tried on another one that I wasn't a fan of online and wasn't super excited to try on other than it had a tulle skirt and I always wanted a tulle skirt. I walked out and the look on my friends faces was the best. It fit perfectly and it just felt so good on. I just wanted to twirl around in it. I didn't cry or anything like that but it just felt like me. I didn't want a super WEDDING wedding gown since we were having the ceremony in Vegas and I wanted something fun that I could wear all night out on the strip and this was just perfect for that

My parents and FH's mom and grandma were with me at the appointment. All of them loved the dress I ended up getting. My heart was stuck on another dress, but I decided to trust them. Now I'm so grateful I listened because I wasn't sure what I wanted at the appointment. I really love my dress and can't wait to wear it!

Same here! I almost didn't try on the one I bought because I loved the previous one so much. I only tried it on because my friends were like at least try on a 3rd just so you can say you did lol

I knew I found the one when I didn't want to take it off. The other dresses I couldn't wait to take off and try on the next one but the dress that I bought I wanted to wear out of the store lol

It just felt... right. I did some window shopping by myself so that certainly took some pressure off. The dress I ended up choosing I tried on during one of those days. I made a formal appointment with the moms and my girls and had that added to my wishlist. If I tried it on again and felt the same then it was mean to be. For 2 weeks I could not get that dress out of my head! Even my mom could tell this was The One.
