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”. 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 ?

    Its definitely possible! After searching online I narrowed down my choices in designers and a specific dress I wanted to try on. I called around until I found it. I tried it on, it was in my size, I loved it! It made me giddy. And it turns out it was discontinued- I bought the sample right then and there.

    It was my first dress, but I tried others and just compared them to my dress!

    I went to a small bridal shop and while I was there I must have tried in about 6 different dresses. In the end I actually went with the first one I tried on.

    It was the second dress I put on. I loved the first one too but it felt too "prom-y" for me. My dress didn't fit me right because it was too big, so I wasn't sure that I LOVED it until I tried on about 8 others and realized it was definitely the one.

    I tried on maybe about 8. There was 1 I was saying “let me try that one back on” and my friend said try this first then put the other back on. I put that one on and I felt it, chills, tears, smiles. I ddnt even want to try anything on after that. It was the ONE.

    I tried on a total of 3 dresses but once I put the first one on, I knew it was MY dress. I only tried the other two because everyone insisted that I try a few others.

    I found one the first day. If I wasn’t just trying on dresses to satisfy the shop owner and my friend I probably would have found it on around dress 5. I found nearly “the one” at the first shop but it was strapless and I cannot do strapless and didn’t want to adds sleeves. The shop owner was rude so we ran over to DB and I found the first dress with sleeves that looked like the strapless one. I put it on and that was IT! I rang the bell, paid my bill and had them ship it to me. Lol.

    I tried on 20 before I found the one - and then I tried on 6 even after I found it, just to be 100% sure!

    Would love to see a picture of it! I went to 2 boutiques and tried on 2 at one place and 2 at the place I bought my dress from. So 4 in total. I tried on the dress I bought first and then tried on another dress basically to make sure I still liked this style in comparison to something similar. As soon as I took MY dress off of my body and got into another dress to compare, I IMMEDIATELY wanted to get back into MY dress. Sometimes when you know, YOU KNOW! Here is the one I ended up with! Can't wait to wear it in 22 days! Smiley smile

    I tried on about 10 dresses the first time and then when I went again I tried on a couple of the same and then another 3 or 4 maybe? After that I knew what I wanted but I never found the right one. I am now creating a custom dress through Anomalie!!! If you haven’t found the one and you know what you want, talk to them! For a completely custom wedding dress and matching veil, I’m paying less than $1,200 which is less than to only dress I liked in the stores!

    I couldn't tell you what number dress "the one" was, but it was the very last dress I tried on my first appointment. I must have tried on 10 or so dresses. I didn't buy it though because I didn't want to buy it before looking some more. Then during my second appointment elsewhere I tried on several more dresses, maybe another 10, and the consultant brought that same dress out and I just knew it was the one because I got the feels all over againt! I guess my point is that when you know, you know!

    First day I went just to try on different styles and see what would work best on my body. About 5-6 dresses in I got the feels and said yes right then and there! I did not want to lose out on that dress!
