When should you say "Yes" to the Dress?


In the olden days, before the advent of the internet and the explosion of consumer options we now regard as normal, brides would go to a few local shops, try on a selection of gowns, and make their choice in a relatively short period of time. Today’s bride has an overwhelming array of possibilities before her, and may begin shopping a year or more before her wedding, trying hundreds of dresses before purchasing that one special gown. In my interactions with brides, many say they are waiting for that moment when they put on a gown and are totally blown away, for that “WOW!” and maybe some tears. Others seem to have a checklist, and once they find the dress that has everything they want, that’s it. Others find several dresses they love and agonize over which one to choose. And some brides just find something they like and go with it- no big deal! I want to hear your thoughts, stories, etc. How did you know which dress was “the one” for you? Any fun or crazy stories? Advice for undecided brides?
