In 2025 there is so much choice when it comes bridal gowns. So much that you may find yourself asking “how many wedding dresses should I try on at my bridal appointment?” Well here at Wedding Belles Of Four Oaks we want to reduce any stress or uncertainty – and say that it comes completely down to you!
Is there a set number of wedding dresses you should try on at a bridal appointment?
There are no set number of dresses that you should try on during your bridal appointment. At our Birmingham bridal boutique we welcome you to come and explore the full collection for your 2 hour appointment and enjoy your wedding dress shopping experience without feeling rushed or pressured. The number of dresses you want to try on could depend on a number of factors including your personal preference, knowing what style you want and… time!
If you come to the boutique with a clear wish list of dresses you want to try and know exactly the look you are going for then you may need to try on less to find your perfect gown. We’ve had brides searching for their specific Milla Nova dress all over the UK and have visited us especially to try and purchase their gown and don’t need to try on lots to make their decision. If you are less confident about what look will suit you or what style you want to create for your big day then our specialist advisors can help you to explore the boutique and select as many styles as you like to so that you can find “the one”. We have a range of appointment types available too – why not check out which is best for you and make your booking?
Is there such a thing as trying on too many dresses at a bridal appointment?
It is important to keep in mind that there is a risk with trying on too many dresses as it can become overwhelming and make it harder to make a decision. Choosing a small selection from the designers available is the best option. In Brides magazine, Dorothy Silver the director of Merchandising at world famous bridal store Kleinfeld recommends not trying on more than 10 gowns. This will give you enough variety to make an informed decision while also ensuring that you don’t become too tired or stressed during the process. But we wont hold you to that! You need to be mindful of giving yourself enough time to be “in” each dress to see how it fits and feels.
During an appointment with us at Wedding Belles you have 2 hours to fully explore our range of designers and try on styles that help you to narrow down your selection and choose your perfect dress. We are one of the UK’s leading stockists of Dama Couture, Milla Nova, Maggie Sottero, Essense of Australia and many more.. . Our styles are timeless and elegant with romantic and seductive tones, dresses that will help you to feel amazing and the best version of you for your wedding day.
