I don't have a dress yet, and was just wondering how it went for you all

You'll know...I actually went to three stores. At the first one I tried on THE dress...but it was in a different mix of colors (ivory with an ivory sash) and i liked it a lot but didn't LOVE it. The third store i tried it on in white with blue, and just knew! but i had no idea the first time wearing the style it would be the one...you'll find yours!

I went to one place first and tried on about 7 or 8. Then I went to my bridal salon. Originally I had pulled out one dress and Lidia said, 'If you like that dress, you'll love this one' She pulled out the one I winded up wearing. But I literally tried on about 30 dresses after that and kept thinking about the first one.

I went in January and no one was in the salon. I was catered to for 3 and a half hours just trying on dresses. I had the best time.

I tried on around 70 probably. I tried at least 10 more after I found 'the one' just to be sure.

Just one! Then I saw my wedding dress staring at me in the window, and that was it!

I was actually working my way through the photo albums and I saw all the pics of your dress. Really pretty - plus I loved the album really cute -

I'm not really sure how many I tried on. But I went to three different stores and probably tried on about 10 in each store.

I tried on at least 10 maybe more. It was the very first one I tried on that I ended up choosing.

Re: How may dresses did you try on before you got to the 'one'

I've tried on about 2 dozen so far and have not once had that 'it' feeling. I feel like so many of them are nice, but not it. I never expect to feel a dress will be 'the one' I have to wear. I never even thought I would ever get married! I'm just hoping to find something I think is simple but elegant. And not too much $$$$. At least I know I'm not the only one who has tried on so many dresses. I was starting to feel weird about it. And of course everyone keeps saying, you have plenty of time - don't worry. I hope I find something soon!!!
