Everyone told I'd know 'the one' when I put it on and I've had that with 2 dresses - both completely different. HELP!

The way I would do this is I would get someone else to pick one and if I felt the slightest bit disappointed then I knew I was the other one , works for me might not work for everyone x

I'd choose the one you can see yourself wearing all day. Can you sit down, walk, get in and out of cars, breathe, eat, dance and pee without help in the dress?! Test both and if you love them both choose the one you can do all of the above in!

Close your eyes and imagine your wedding and your dress witch one comes first to mind be your dress or if that doesn't work go back and try them both on again

I had the same problem but the sales woman tried a few techniques: 1. Imagine you are getting married in 5 mins, which dress do you pick? 2. Walk up and down and turn - which feels better to move in? 3. Sit down in the dress and look in a mirror - which looks the best? Number 3 sealed the deal for me x

This happened to me! After trying other dresses on I then had to try them both back on and then tried them both with the accessories, shoes, tiara and veil, I then knew which one was the one and I literally didn't want to take it off. Just keep trying them on and try other styles on and go back to them. Just try not to stress about it xxxx

Go back on another day and try both back on without all the other dresses as a fresh look then See which one you don't wanna take off more.

Flip a coin. Judge your choice by whether you feel disappointed or happy.

Toss a coin. If you're disappointed, you know it's not that one

This happened to me too. The sales consultant told me to go home and sleep on it and whichever i dreamt about/woke up thimking about was the one for me. Hope this helps x

It was the same for me. I thought I'd found the one. But I went back to the same shop with my mum and I tried on a dress I'd previously disregarded along side the one I loved and ended up falling in love with the one I'd previously turned down! Try them with accessories and see if that helps. It certainly helped confirm my dress choice for me.

Sounds odd, but try lifting both dresses up (as if your going to the toilet) which ever one is easier illd go with I did this with my dress, had them in stitches x

If I'm honest, I see one tried it on felt amazing and brought it, only one I've ever tried on, if you move in it love it and feel like a princess go for it I did! I've now gotta wait till 2019 to wear mine. But at least I've got if 🙂 good luck 🙂 x

I was like this, it was the choice between two. I went and tried them both on again with my mum. I looked closely at my mum the second time I put the dresses on and there was one dress that I saw tears welling in her eyes and that's when I knew which dress I would pick. Also the other way I ended up knowing which one, was how many times did I choose to put one dress back on over the other and which one did I choose to put on first. This is what the shop assistant at the bridal store said to me and when I thought about it, I knew she was right. Whenever I put on the dress I chose, I had butterfly's. If you get a stronger feeling for one over the other, then maybe that's the dress. Good luck x

I had this to and was completely torn between the 2 but I went with what was more ideal for the venue as I'm getting married in registry office as much as I loved the other one that was more suited for a big wedding at a hotel x
