Whether we've picked out our dream gown or gone shopping with our best friend or sister, we know that wedding dress shopping isn't super easy. We can't help but feel nervous about making this big decision, and it doesn't help that a lot of dresses need to be altered in order to truly look amazing. We expect to have that moment when we can't believe our eyes and we know that we need this dress... but sometimes it can take a bit longer than that.
Thankfully, we don't have to even leave our houses because we can watch brides pick out dresses on the popular TLC reality showSay Yes to the Dress. With 19 seasons airing since 2007, we've had the opportunity to watch a lot of brides try on a lot of wedding dresses... for better and for worse.
Keep reading to find out some dresses that were truly special onSay Yes to the Dress, along with some that we would never have chosen.
15 Best: This Sparkly Top With A Beige Skirt Is Unique
A unique wedding dress can sometimes seem like a super tall order. In a sea of strapless columns or Princess gowns, how can we possibly find something that we haven't seen before?
We love this dress because the sparkly top paired with the beige skirt is a really unique look. It's so pretty.
14 Worst: We're Not Super Excited By This Dull Dress
Whether you're trying on your own wedding dress (or what will hopefully be it) or watching this reality show, you want a dress with a "wow" factor.
This, unfortunately, wasn't it. This dress is pretty dull. The white lace materialand cut of the dress doesn't make it stand out from any other wedding gown.
13 Best: This Classic Strapless Gown Will Always Be In Style
Sure, this isn't the most original dress that we've ever seen, but that's totally okay.
A classic white strapless gown will always be in style, making this one of the best dresses fromSay Yes to the Dress. This is beautiful, classy, and sophisticated. It would work really well for a spring or summer wedding.
12 Worst:The Bodice Is Too Revealing And Looks Like A Totally Different Style Than The Skirt
The problem with this particular dress? The bodice is too revealing, andwe don't love that the beads don't cover the entire top.
The second issue is that the top is a totally different style than the skirt. It's like she's wearing a bathing suit on top and a ballgown on the bottom.
11 Best: We Love The T-Shirt Shape Of This One
The best dresses onSay Yes to the Dresshave something special about them. Sometimes you see a wedding gown and can't even put your finger on why it looks so great.
We can say why we love this one, though: the t-shirt shape. It's really cool and works well with the flowing skirt.
10 Worst:No One Should Wear A Short Wedding Dress
Have we ever gone to a wedding where the bride wore a short wedding dress?
The answer is probably no... because that just doesn't seem like something that many brides want to do. This dress is way too short and that's why it seems like one of the worst ones onSay Yes to the Dress.
9 Best: We Love How Feminine This Gown Is
This is one of the best dresses fromSay Yes to the Dress,because it's so feminine. The top and bottom are both so interesting and unexpected. This isn't something that you see all the time.
While this pick might be too girly for some brides, since dresses are subjective that way, it's going to be just right for some others who are big fans of the girly touches.
8 Worst: This One Gives Us Mermaid Vibes (And Not In A Good Way)
The bottom of this dress reminds us of a mermaid, and it's just not something that we can get behind.
If the dress was a simple strapless column, it might look a little better. That would be elegant and classic. Instead, there's a bit too much lace going on, so it's one of the worst dresses.
7 Best: This Dress Has Just The Right Amount Of Layers
We really love the layered skirt of this wedding gown. Since the material is so light, the overall effect is soft and beautiful.
Just picture the bride taking photos with her groom and her bridesmaids, smiling big in the sunshine and holding a gorgeous bouquet. It's perfection, and this dress is a great pick.

6 Worst: We're Definitely Not Into This All-Silver Dress
It can be trendy and cool to have a wedding dress that isn't white. Some brides opt for off-white, beige, or even pink or baby blue. It can work well for some people.
But then there's this wedding dress which isliterally all silver. We have to say that we're not into a silver wedding dress, so it's one of our least favorites from the show.
5 Best: The Detailing Here Is Gorgeous
This is one of the best dresses from the popular reality series. The detailing on the top of the dress is super gorgeous, and it looks both classy and whimsical at the same time.
We definitely wouldn't mind walking down the aisle with this dress on. It would work with an updo or long loose waves.
4 Worst: The Body Of The Dress Is Too Tight, And The Bottom Looks Horrible
Simply put, this isn't one of the nicest dresses onSay Yes to the Dress. The first problem is that the material of the dress is too tight. It doesn't look very flattering.
The second problem is that the bottom is pretty horrible. The material is all gathered together in one spot, and it looks like an attempt at a flower was made, but it just looks awkward.

2 Worst: The Cut-Outs On This One Are Just Too Weird
It's totally fine to have a wedding gown with a sleeveless top and full skirt. That's a beautiful style.
Unfortunately, that isn't happening here. The nude-illusion on top isn't the most flattering and the cut-outs are awkward. We can't picture someone wearing this while walking down the aisle.

Finally, we have this beautiful dress which is definitely one of the best ones fromSay Yes to the Dress.
