Think I’ve found the one

Samantha, 2 March, 2024 at 22:16 Posted on Wedding Attire 0 5
I attended my first dress appointment today after being nervous was made to feel at ease and the consultant was great and so patient with me tried so many dresses! Found 2 I felt great in but very different so decided to go away and think. I haven’t been able to get one out of my head the more I look the more I love it. Taking my bridal party to see the 2 dresses.


I’m not sure there is much point going to loads more shops which is what I had initially intended to do and it’s well within budget. Did anyone find dress at first shop - just worried I found it this quick (tried on 12 altogether)

    I only went to one Bridal dress shop, similar to you tried on a dozen dresses, but once I tried my chosen dress I knew it was the one. The dress chooses you as I have been told. So go for the one you really love!!

    If you've found one you love, stop looking!

    I think some people just love the whole experience of dress shopping so much that they don't want it to end, so they say you need to look at loads. But I think there is a risk that just feeds dissatisfaction with what you already love. After all, if you find a house you want to live in, no one tells you that you have to view at least 20 more before making a decision! And a dress is something you wear for a day, not something you live in for years!

    Lots of brides find their dress at the first shop — it’s more common than you think. If you can’t stop thinking about one of them and it’s in budget, that’s usually a good sign it’s your dress. Taking your bridal party to compare the two is a great idea, but you definitely don’t need to force more appointments just for the sake of it. Sometimes it really is that quick!

    Lots of people end up finding their dress at the very first shop — it doesn’t mean you decided “too fast,” it just means you found something that genuinely feels right. If one dress keeps popping into your head, that’s usually a good sign. Taking your bridal party to see both options is a great idea, but you don’t need to force yourself through tons of extra appointments just for the sake of it. If it’s within budget and makes you feel amazing, it’s completely normal to say “this is the one” early on.
