The Pickle: All the dresses are starting to all look the same to you and you worry if you'll find the one.
The Solution: Streamline the process so that you don't get burnt out and settle for less out of frustration.
Step by Step Wedding Dress Hunt
1. Collect Pictures
Print pictures, rip pictures out of magazines, get a collection of many dresses that get your attention and that you love. The more the better because it will come in handy on the next step.
2. Find Similarity Trends
After you have completed the first step, now it is time to lay them all out. Sit down with your mom or a girlfriend and go through the pictures together. Sort them by style, materials, etc. Then see which trend the most in the pictures. There you have it, the type of gown you are looking for! Keep those, toss the rest. You will bring those photos with you to the bridal stores and shops.

Determine first off before you go to the store what you are willing to spend. That way the store consultant won't show you a dream gown way out of your budget. You don't want to be heartbroken!
4. Try All Selections On
The Bridal Store Associate should be experienced enough to take a look at those pictures you brought in and take your budget and bring you a collection of gowns to try that fit your requirements. No you may see some that are a stretch to what you want but this is not the time to be picky. Try on EVERY dress. Sometimes the one you think look good on the rack don't look on you and the ones that don't look good on the rack look spectacular on you! You never know!
5. Never Settle
You have narrowed down the dresses before you went hunting, but even that can be overwhelming. You may have doubts of whether or not you will ever find the dress. You may be torn between two dresses. Forget about them! The one will be the one dress you are meant for and you will know when you keep comparing every other dress to that one dress. Don't give up and never settle for less!
What frustrations are you dealing with on your dress hunt? Do vent!
Better is the end of a thing than its beginning, and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. - Ecclesiastes 7:8
