Just wondering...

What is a reasonable number of bridal shops to visit in one day? Two, three, or four? Thanks!

Re: Just wondering...

I wouldn't schedule more then 2. When I went looking for dresses I was at each place for like 2 1/2 or 3 hours at a time.

Hey you are getting married exactly one year after me

Re: Just wondering...

not only is the time a consideration but overload...many of the dresses will be the same, and soon you get a bit tired...if you do more than 2 take a big break...lunch...etc. that's what we did....we went to three but it stopped being fun towards the end aso we stopped altogheter

Re: Just wondering...

I would say two. I enjoyed sprading it out and having one per day of shopping. More fun that way!

Re: Just wondering...

I only went to one at at time, but if your schedule is an issue then I could see doing 2. More than that would certainly be overload!!

Re: Just wondering...

The first time I went, I was by myself and went to 2 shops and tried on about 10-15 dresses.... I was SOOOOO exhausted on the ride home - make sure whatever you do, bring someone with you to help you and water

Re: Just wondering...

I only went to 2 altogether; three trips in all. I visited one, didn't like it there, then went to another place a couple of weeks later with one of my BM's, and then back to that same place with my mom and MOH and ordered the dress.
With all that being said, I would not have been able to do more than 1 a day. I was exhausted after trying 10 or more gowns and spending 2 hours there.

Re: Just wondering...

I would say two. The first time I went looking I went to 2 different places and it probably took me about 4 hours all together.

Re: Just wondering...

i would say 2 at the most. I think it can get overwhelming.
Have a great time

Re: Just wondering...

I did three in one day. But it was a long day.

Re: Just wondering...

it depends, you could go into one and find nothing or you could find 20 to try on, two stores i went to had nothing i liked, so they both took about 20mins of time each
