Bridesmaid Dress Selection

Amanda, on November 16, 2019 at 8:09 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 4

Our Wedding is June 27, 2020 and I'm curious when other June/Spring brides are having their Bridal Party start selecting and ordering their dresses. We are going with Wine and Chianti for dress colors but not sure on style yet. The only issue I am running into is that one of my BM's just had gastric sleeve surgery in June and has already lost 60+ pounds. She will continue to lose weight (I'm so happy and proud of her) but it will be difficult to order her a dress too far in advance as she really has no idea what size she will be come June. I was thinking of going with a few at a time to look/order starting in December and January. This would give them ample time for ordering, exchanging (if needed) and alterations. I'm leaning now towards February/March to give my friend who had the surgery some more time to estimate her size. When are y'all ordering dresses and how soon are they coming in after placing the order? We are looking at David's Bridal as most of my maid's are out of town and it's easier.

    My wedding is May. We ordered Oct 12 from David's also. They said they'd be ready by February. Go now get the bms dresses started.

    My wedding is June 13. We went a few weeks ago and then last week they ordered. Crazy enough the dresses came in less than a week! Now they just need to be altered.

    My wedding is June 25th, 2020 and I've started looking for dresses for the girls to pick from, but haven't made a set decision yet. I want to see them in their dresses, but it's hard to get everyone together at the same time in one place

    My wedding day is May 9, 2020 and I'm actively searching for dress options so I can get my bridesmaids to order by mid-December at the latest. Yes, I would wait a little while for your orders, unless you're selecting very specialized dresses that need to come from overseas. Otherwise, you should be fine. One suggestion for your BM who had the surgery is to have her buy a large dress and the get it altered down to her size right before your wedding day.
