Number of visits - how many bridal shops did you go to?

Do you mean you have 4 appointments scheduled at 4 different shops?
I went to 1 bridal store and that was it! I found my dress during my visit.

I found my dress at the second shop I went to. Every bride is different so I can't necessarily say if 4 is a lot of places but I personally only made one appointment at a time.

The very first shop I went to I found my dress. My dream dress was the very first dress I tried on. I tired on 3 more at the shop but went right back to the first. That was 11 months ago. I brought her home this past saturday. I never even thought about another dress after I found mine. I would keep all of ur appointments because u just never know how its going to go.

I went to 3 bridal shops, and ended up choosing the first dress I tried on at the first store. Which was the one I looked at online that I liked the best!

View Quoted Comment Yes I have four appointments with four different bridal shops. I figured if I find the one, I can cancel the other appointments

View Quoted Comment I found mine at the second one! I know the places I went charged me if I cancelled the appt without 24 hours notice so I would just make sure the places you booked appts at don’t have similar policies.

View Quoted Comment Oh good idea! Thanks!

I went to three shops but end up buying my dress from the first bridal shop appointment. I dont think its a lot that you have four scheduled. However, I would not mention that you have been to other shops. I did that during my second bridal appointment and it was very disappointing how i was treated. Also, if you see a dress at a shop that you absolutely love, dont mention it either. I found my self referring to the dress from the first shop and everyone question me why i didn't just order it. I honestly felt like I just wanted to try on different styles of dressed to make sure.

I had 6 appointments in one weekend (1 friday, 4 Saturday, and 1 Sunday). My mom lives over 500 miles away and was coming into town and it was really important to me to find the dress with her there. Found one I loved at store number 2 but decided to keep looking. The last store was the best by far and I bought my dress without hesitation because I had been literally everywhere in town.

I went to 3! I wouldn't schedule 4 in one day, I did two in one day and was EXHAUSTED. I'm really happy I went to the 3rd. I almost went with a dress I liked but didn't LOVE at the second, and I found one I LOVED at the third!

View Quoted Comment Sorry I'm only doing one a day. Lol. I think more than two in one day is a bit much. Lol

No that's great! I wish I did 1 in a day. 2 was EXHAUSTING.

I found my dress at the 4th shop I went to. I only had one scheduled at a time though.

I went to 3! First I did David's Bridal just to get an idea of what I liked and didn't like but I didn't intend to buy. Then I did two bridal boutiques the same day. I did one in the morning and then one in the afternoon. I really liked a dress I found at the first salon, but went to the appointment at the second salon just to confirm. I ended up going back to the first salon and ordering my dress that same day.

I went to a couple before I was actually ready to buy just to see what I liked. They were all really expensive boutiques but it was dun to try on dresses that cost more than our wedding! Once I was actually ready to buy, I only went to one David's Bridal and walked out with a dress off the rack.

Only went to one shop and it was the second dress in tried on. Possibly the third. But I figured it out quickly which one I liked.

I’ve been to 7 bridal shops and I’m going to be ordering mine from the 7th shop!! Two of the salons I even went to twice because the 7th one is when I started trying on the total opposite style of dress that I thought I would like and decided to revisit a couple to see if they had a dress in the “new” style that I wanted but ultimately it’ll be the first dress from the 7th salon that I end up ordering! It’s been a ride for me for sure.

I went to 3 and found my dress at the third, but went to a fourth just to make sure I was sure lol.

I found my dress unexpectedly. I was in Indy shopping with my mom and I had just gotten engaged a couple months prior, so dress shopping wasn’t on the to do list quite yet. I did have my FSIL set up bridal appointments in Chicago for the following month. We walked into a little bridal boutique just to look and they had an amazing collection of brand new dresses! They managed to convince us to come back in a couple hrs to try on a few dresses when they were done with their appointments. I thought it would just be fun to get a feel for it and I ended up SAYING YES TO THE DRESS! Totally shocked and a little disappointed my girls weren’t with me, but it was special to have my mom with me cuz her opinion was the only one I cared about anyway. My FSIL was pretty upset cuz she had worked really hard on setting up the appointments for me in Chicago and she decided to stop being my wedding planner. She didn’t do it in an openly rude manner but I could tell it was all connected. I still brought the girls back to see the dress I chose on the day we had set to go dress shopping.

I found my dress at my 4th appointment and tbh, never thought I would find the one. Make sure you space out your appointments because dress shopping is tiring! You also want to space them out so all wedding dresses don't look the same!
