How many dresses did you try on before saying Yes to the dress!

View quoted message Yeah it's not a bad price and to top it off it fits me perfect! I don't need any alterations.
Yes definitely they can be sooo expensive!
I know right??? My veil was like $230 🙄 it's got like rhinestones all down the sides though.. but still... my belt was $99 but both items make my dress **** times better

View quoted message Thats a pretty good price! After trying on soo many dresses I feel like anything under $1000 is a steal for a wedding dress! Also crazyyyy how much veils are!!

View quoted message It was for sure! 😄 yes! Right? My dress was $600 not including the belt and viel LOL they must of been able to tell how I felt about it.


Oh wow that's absolutely an amazing price!!!! 🙂 can't complain at all for spending that much

View quoted message I know! It's so hard haha 😄 I had my eyes on a more fitted lace rustic feel but the ladies I went with had other ideas 😅
That's very smart to have done!! I ended up constantly going back to the dress I said yes too... just felt so right and perfect! Still to this day I can't believe it's mine and I'm a bride haha

View quoted message That must have been a special moment when everyone teared up! I also agree that anything over $500 is a lot. Technically I only paid $630 for a $4500 dress!!!

View quoted message Yes it was, it was my MIL and his grandma who paid for it also the viel(that was so out of my budget) lol it was a moment I will cherish forever all three of us tearing up together in the bridal store 🤣
Oh yeah! I aimed for that style too but the ladies has all sorts of styles for me but I ended up with lace Aline dress. Still doesn't feel real when I try it on!

Aw that's so nice of her! Yeah that was my issue was the cost in general I just felt like anything over 500 was a lot of money for a dress.. but I wouldn't change it as I'm still madly in love with it. I'm glad it worked out you finding the one at that store 🙂

Oh I definitely tried on different styles! There's so many to choose from! Since I had my eyes on the dress I said yes to for over a year, my MOH told me not to put it on until all of the other dresses were tried on haha

View quoted message Thats so nice of your MIL!! For awhile I had a very hard time deciding if I wanted a more fitted dress or an aline one so that definitely increased the amount of dresses I tried on! My Fiancés step mom did offer to pay the difference for my dress but I still couldn't justify spending that much. But if I didn't find my dress at the consignment store, I would have let her pay the difference

View quoted message Aw nice 🙂 did you try different styles on? Or all similar?

I only went to one bridal store and probably tried on 8 dresses before the one I said yes to!

View quoted message Oh wow!!! That's so many! We're they all similar styles tho? Or totally different? Budget was definitely something I was thinking about. Sounds like so much fun trying so many on though.


Orginally I was going to use my fiancé aunts dress so I was hooked on that it was a princess dress! My MOH said wr HAD to go try on dresses so we check it off the list. They had me try on so many styles I fell in love with mine but was over my budget so my MIL offered to pay for it because they saw how it was on me

Hahahah soooo many!! I had a total of 8 appointments! So probably like 40-70?? Which sounds like a lot but I tried on 97 dresses before finding my prom dress! 😂 I did find a dress I really loved after about 20 dresses but it was more than double what I wanted to spend. So I kept looking! I finally find my dress when I went to a bridal consignment store in Ontario (I live in Alberta 😂)
