    I got mine around 10 months before the wedding, i think it varies tbh. i wouldnt say too soon, but prob best to wait a little while for new season stock etc or even sales where you might be able to pick up that dream dress at a bargain price.

    I found and bought mine about 15 months ahead of the actual wedding! I was worried I wouldn't find something and planned to space out my searches but accidentally found one I loved very quickly. I don't think there is a right or wrong time, as long as you love it - and have a contingency plan in case you change your mind later!

    I only ordered my dress last month and I get married in June! My dress shop said it usually takes 5 months to come in so hopefully it will arrive at the dress shop in March. If it was me I'd be putting pressure on myself thinking "I need to be a similar shape/size in 18 months" or "what if I see something I prefer in that time", for me it would give me too much time to have dress wobbles HOWEVER that said if you see a dress that you love and you want it then there's nothing wrong with being organised and going for it.

    I started looking 10 months before, and found my dress in the second shop. It's been ordered and should arrive in about 4 months. Can't wait to try it on again!

    I got mine 15 months before the wedding. Didnt go looking for it, more stumbled upon it whilst out shopping with H2B and my 2 boys!

    Had to do a 150 mile round trip the next day for my mum to see it, then bought it there and then!
