HOW MANY WEDDING DRESSES DO MOST BRIDES TRY ON?
curious about how many wedding dresses most brides try on? while the number varies, we’d say that the most common trend is trying on less than 10 wedding dresses before finding the one! some brides fall in love with the very first dress they try on and others need to see 10+ gowns to best explore different silhouettes and fabrics. every bride is different and that’s one of the things we love most about this job!
if you’re aiming to try on as little bridal looks as possible and avoid decision fatigue, there are a few things you can do before your bridal appointment to increase your chances of finding your wedding dress sooner rather than later.
1. research bridal shops in your area:
finding a bridal shop that fits your style is so important. if you find a bridal boutique near you that fits your vision and carries bridal designers you’re excited about, don’t worry about making multiple appointments or shopping around, you’ll likely find what you love. give yourself a pat on the back for preparing ahead of time and doing your research to find the best bridal shop fit!
2. step out of your comfort zone & be open to different styles:
once you’re at your appointment, be willing to try on a variety of styles. being open-minded is a great way to help narrow down your wedding dress search. while this may mean trying on dresses you know you won’t like, it’s all a part of the process.
