So many vendors!!!!!

So I feel like I'm going over board with vendor shopping. Besides my photographer, I've seen multiples of every other vendor. I've tried on about 7 dresses (I found 'the one', but I'm trying on a few more just so my mom can see most bridal gowns are over $800), I've gone to 3 churches, and in total I'll be meeting with 6 DJ's!

Has anyone else seen too many of one vendor? I know there was someone out there who went to like 25 RH's...just want to make sure I'm not a crazy bridezilla.

I lost track of how many dresses I've tried on. Maybe 15? But I was kind of just going for fun, too.

We saw 9 RHs and I was so burnt out by the last one! And that's not even that many compared to some other brides. But no, you're definitely not crazy! You just want to make sure you're getting the best deals and that everything is perfect!

You're not alone! We went to about 9 venues which I was so tired of by the end! We only went to one DJ because we knew who we were booking and only went to one photographer because we clicked right away.
You're not crazy, like Lori said you need to see what else is out there and if you're like me, you like to make an educated choice.

So many vendors!!!!!

I went to David's Bridal to try on dresses for fun, I ended up with the hugest headache of my life. The woman helping me, was helping at least 2 other brides. I kept asking for a specific look and a specific Vera dress, neither of which she ever brought to me, and by the time I had on the 6th dress, I was sweating and I wanted to get the h#ll out of there.

So many vendors!!!!!

I saw a total of 3 venues. I saw 2 photographers and 1 dj. I've seen one florist so far... and have appointments with two florists in the next week.

I've tried on about 3 dresses... one of which I LOVED but there are some dresses I still want to try on.


I'm pretty sure that of the vendors... I'll see more florists than anything. Which is funny because flowers is what I care least about!!

FH had to of gone to like 15 venues before we picked because we didn't find one we both loved. As for other vendors we agreed on a florist because it didn't matter to him too much but just for me I went to look at 2 others. Photo/video we knew right away. I tried on a million dresses before I decided, I'm the most indecisive person ever. It's normal!

I only went to two RH's, one photographer, one limo company and one make-up artist. I definitely don't think I got the BEST deals on everything though. I think that if you're not set on certain things, the best way to go is to shop around a lot until you find the best deals!

Wahhhh...my flowers. I don't even know what to do anymore. We keep shopping around, but it seems like the price we're getting is the norm.
