When to go wedding dress shopping?!

Now! Some take forever to come in!

Mine is over a year.. Going to my first bridal show in August. I found a dress I loved, besides the bottom. Couldn't buy it because the bottom was so bad.

Yeah I would get started now! You're at a good time because the new fall lines are starting to come out so there may be a lot of trunk show options and sample sales from spring collections!

I bought just under a year from my wedding date.

Hi Rachel. I've been to two stores and have an appointment for a third store on Saturday. I really love a Pronovias that I tried on at the first store but am not 100% sure if its the one I want. The sales lady at the salon told me that I would need to order the Pronovias dress no later than September because it usually takes a year for them to arrive since each dress is made in Spain. I'd start shopping as soon as you can so you are sure you have plenty of time for them to make and then alter the gown.

Oh wow! Sounds good I will get on that!!

ANOTHER QUESTION--

Any petite brides have an issue dress shopping ?! I'm definitely petite and nervous that nothing will fit right/look right on me!

I'd start right away. It took me 6 months to find the dress and some take over 6 months to come in. Yay!!

Definitely start shopping now! I am a petite bride and I had no issues dress shopping. You're consultant will definitely help you find the fit for you!

Now!! It can take 6-8 months for dress to come in and you need time for alterations

I started looking one year and a half in advanced. I say do it now. My dress took 10 months to come in And it took me 5 months to say yes to my current dress.

I'd start now!

Its not too early. I went at 10 months and was told my dress would come in between April and July. It came in at the end of April. But I've read stories of people ordering their dresses before I did and they still don't have it. I cringe every time, I cant imagine.

I went right at my 1 year mark and said yes first time around!

@ Rachel F hi date twin. I'm going Saturday for the first time. It's national bridal day so I'm excited.

I'd definitely start looking now to give yourself plenty of time to look and order.

I got engaged last November and started looking like a week later--it ended up taking me five months to choose something.

My daughter made a appointment for late August. We are going to one bridal salon that day. She is getting married in November 16 2018.

I bought mine about a year out from my wedding (October) and it just came in about 3 weeks ago. Now is the perfect time to start looking. But, don't feel pressured to purchase. Even if you like something, you have time to shop around at other places before picking a dress.

Having my first appointment next month exactly a year before my WD
