So naturally I've been browsing dresses online for months now. I found a dress at David's Bridal that I fell in love with and have been thinking about for months. I made an appointment and on Saturday went down with my girls and tried this dress on finally, in addition to maybe 8-10 more. It was the second dress I tried on and every dress I tried after I compared to this dress. They were all beautiful dresses but there was always something that made me say no, and I couldn't always put my finger on what it was. I just knew each dress wasn't "the one." So at the end of my appointment I put my favorite dress back on and tried a veil with it, and I loved it even more. It's just as beautiful in person, it look great on me, it's in my budget, and it just checks all my boxes. But when I was asked if I was saying yes to the dress, I couldn't do it.
I'm not one to make decisions quickly, especially large, important decisions. I think I just got nervous that I was in my first dress shop, and this was the second dress I've ever tried on. My girls told me to make a few more appointments at a couple more shops and if after trying a few more I keep thinking about this particular dress, then I'll know this was the one.
I watch a lot of "Say Yes to the Dress" and you always see over-the-top reactions from these girls. That's not me, so I wasn't expecting to cry or anything like that, but I'm just curious, how did you know that your dress was the one for you? I know everyone is different but I want to hear from real brides.
