    Some shops can take that much time just for the dress to come in - I would suggest a couple months earlier, just to be safe. Gives you time to shop til you find something you love and not feel rushed into a certain dress - but you are worrying about this a little too early IMO, your wedding is a little over 2 years away. Give yourself at least 6 more months before you start going into panic mode. Smiley smile

    I would be nervous about waiting until 6 months, especially during the peak wedding season. Some dresses take longer than others, plus you have to allow time for alterations (if needed). I went a year before my wedding, and my dress came in very quickly.

    I got married in June and ordered my dress in November with more than enough time. Maybe start looking a month or two earlier to give you a little cushion. (For what it's worth my dress came in in April and I was able to have three fittings!)

    I am getting married April 25th 2019. I am going to buy my Dress.

    next April. I would start trying on dresses a year in advance so you could have plenty of time for the dress to come in and alterations.

    Jessica for bridesmaids, I took my girls with me to the appointment to pick up my dress, and they picked theirs out then - if you plan to buy all from the same shop, I would ask that specific shop what time range they recommend for the BMs as I know different shops have different time lines for their dresses. So I bought my dress in July, and it came in in November, so I took my girls with me then and they ordered theirs, which came in in January. Smiley smile

    I was told bridesmaid dresses need about 6 months. We all went to look at dresses about 7 months prior and then I just told the ladies to order as soon as they are able to do so. Two of them have already ordered and received their dresses. Haven't heard anything from the others. I figure they are all adults and will get it taken care of. Smiley smile

    I bought mine off the rack at David's a few weeks ago. I was going to go with another dress months earlier, but I had some major dress regret. I ended up finding the dress of my dreams last month (4 months before my wedding) !! It was at David's and happened to be on sale too! Alterations are already done! It's a huge risk, but it can be done.

    My dress took 7 months to come in. If I were you I'd start looking about a year in advance. But like PPs said your wedding is pretty far away so you don't need to be worried about this yet!
