Talk about type casting. In her past five acting roles, Marla Sokoloff has played a bride. You might remember her as the bride in "Drop Dead Diva" who wanted to sue because she caught her fiancé in flagrante delicto with her best friend? Coming up on Nov. 14, she plays a woman who finally makes it to the altar after dating a lot of Mr. Wrongs, when Hallmark Channel premieres "Flower Girl."

But now, Sokoloff is getting married in real life, and she says that the fact she has tried on so many wedding gowns as a part of her job affected her enjoyment when it came time to select her own bridal ensemble.

"I felt like when I was looking for my real-life dress that it was anti-climactic because I had done it so many times," Sokoloff tells ET. "I just didn't feel that excitement you are supposed to feel when you find the dress. But then, when my actual dress was delivered to my house [a gown by Amsale] last week, I was so excited, I ripped it open like it was 'Sex and the City,' and I finally had my moment."

In contrast to the gown that she wears in "Flower Girl," which is pouffy, Sokoloff says her own dress is simple. "I didn't want to do anything crazy," says the actress, who also decided to only have two bridesmaids. "I didn't want to have a princess ball gown or anything like that. I am definitely more of a subtle bride. That is all I want to say. What if my fiancé reads this?!"

Sokoloff is marrying film and TV composer Alec Puro in a black/white themed November wedding. The couple met through a mutual friend, but the actress says even though she has found her prince, she can relate to her "Flower Girl" character, who kissed a lot of toads. "I think we have all had our share of bad choices in that department," she says, laughing.

"Flower Girl" premieres on Saturday, Nov. 14 at 9 p.m. on the Hallmark Channel.
