I didn't want lace. I had a dropped waste that flared out. Was not what I wanted at all but once I tried it on I felt amazing in it xx

I was set on a white/ivory dress pretty straight and nothing fancy - I went and tried them on and felt horrible. Tried this one and fell in love, had nothing but compliments on the day about the colour xx

Princess style with sweetheart neck line we got married bonfire night and it was very cold so I wore a lace jacket which tied in really well (pic without it in comments)

I wanted a big princess ball gown but they just didn't suit my shape. The girls in the shop new what suited me and I ended up getting a more fitted dress which I loved

I wanted something with sleeves, quite plain and simple. Ended up with a sweetheart aline gown with lots of sparkle and lace. Totally different to the ones I picked myself to try on! Trust the people in the shop! It's what they do! I would never have picked my dress myself and can't wait to wear it next year!

This was mine 3 weeks ago, i loved it so much and although it was a light dress once the dance floor filled up I was so so hot and felt i couldn't dance as much as I wanted

This pink number by Mojgan Bridal Couture I could sit, move and dance in it easily - was so comfy I didn't want to take it off. And I could pee by myself ;-)

Nothing like I wanted. I wanted straps. Went shopping, my mum picked this out so I tried it on and fell in love. Bought it there and then. X

I went in looking for simple lace dress and came out with a ball gown, it felt amazing and was surprisingly easy to move in. Good luck! X

I didn't want a white dress, I'd have liked a darker colour but went for lilac, it was a challenge finding alternative colours though!..x

I went in with a really specific idea in my head - other than shape it's pretty much everything I said I didn't want. The people in the shop really do know what they're doing and it's so worth being open minded. Everything I tried was 'lovely' or 'nice' but nothing gave me that feeling everyone talks about! I got to the point I thought I'd just have to pick something that was nice and have done with it and the lady just told me to try it - it was all the feels I expected! 😍

I wanted relatively plain A line satin with sleeves and NO SPARKLES (think Grace of Monaco.)

Came out with a Lave princess strapless (though i used a jacket to give it sleeves) - at least it had NO SPARKLES

This was mine!! It's a Mori Lee and was so comfy! I know people complain about the dress being heavy and giving stomach ace sometimes. Mine was heavy but it was comfy so it didn't matter! Loved the swish on the dance floor too!! Felt like a princess. All I knew when I went was I didn't want lace and I wanted strapless.

I thought I knew what I wanted - poofy, bling, etc. And they did look nice, but I wasn't wow'd by any of them. Then the lady in the shop asked if she could choose me a dress. She brought it in and it was everything I thought I didn't want but I tried it on to humour her so's not to be rude. I was just open mouthed and speechless! I couldn't stop looking at myself in the mirror for about 45minutes! It was the most beautiful dress I had ever seen! Honestly, listen to these women who work in these shops - they really know their stuff!

Your dress will be determined by your personality, height, body shape and style of wedding theme as well as what fabrics you like and dislike. Enjoy trying them on and you'll know which one is for you. X

I am going for a House of Mooshki tea length dress. 😊 I don't want a huge dress with a long train because it will just frustrate me and ruin my day because I'm constantly moving the dress out of my way. Not decided on the style of the dress just yet but I'm really looking forward to going to try the dresses on!

I have chosen a wine red taffeta ball gown with black pearl details and black embroidery it's beautiful and super lightweight due to being taffeta instead of satin so I will be able to dance and quite possibly jump around on a bouncy castle too 😁

Always thought I'd go for fishtail and lace- how wrong was I, fell in love with Ronald Joyce- Orleans. Had to attach full length picture in comments so you could see all the detail. Classic and elegant. Oh and it HAD POCKETS wish I could do it all over again.

Think mine was Mori Lee...originally wanted a fitted dress but I couldnt help myself and tried on some big dresses...then that changed everything. The bodice finished passed my waist to make me look taller. Loved it

50's style, with full skirt. Married in May past. Would do the day over in a heartbeat. Decided a few yrs ago I would never be in a full length dress as 50's style suits me better. Could never understand people who said they LOVED their dress.... I do now
