When is the latest I should order my dress?

It definitely depends, DB is fast. I ordered from an Italian designer from a local bridal shop. I ordered end of October and it came in mid May. Definitely check it out asap.

My finally fitting was 2 days before we left for Cabo, I had 4 fittings. We definitely cut it close.

It depends on where you order and what designer. Mine is taking about 6-8 months.

To add to that, Have you shopped? do you know what you want? If you KNOW what dress you want and have tried it on but just waiting to order, find out how long it will take to order. If you haven't done any shopping and still need to go figure out "the one" I say get it done now.

I know what kinda of styles I like just need to find one in my budget.
