How many wedding dress shops did you go too?

Hi ladies! I am just wondering how many wedding/bridal shops you went to before you found "the dress". I am wondering how many different places I should go to to make sure I don't limit myself but I also don't want to over do it either. Thanks!

    Bought the first dress I tried on, didn't try any others. Haha. But it was a sample, so that changes everything,

    I went to two different places, but I'd done a lot of online browsing so I knew what I was interested in. I made an appointment at salon #1 and I tried on different silhouettes and found a few I really liked. It was low-pressure because it was just me and my mom and I knew I was just going to see what silhouettes looked good. I tried on about 10 dresses. I went to salon #2 because they were the only ones who carried a dress I desperately wanted to try (it didn't look good on me at all) and I brought my mom and grandma. There were some definite options there, but I wanted my grandma to see some of my favorites at salon #1. We went back to salon #1 and I brought a bigger group with my MOH, aunt/godmother, mom, and grandma and I found THE dress! Smiley smile There's no "good" number of salons to go to - there will always be more and more dresses to try - but you stop when you find something you love. One of my friends fell in love with the third dress she tried on at the first salon she went to. I know other brides who tried 10 stores and over 100 dresses in a couple different states before they found the one. Good luck and I'm sure you'll find "the one!"
