how long does it take ....

For a BM dress to arrive if ordered from a bridal shop?

I have 1 BM and was going for a high street dress. Green is the colour scheme and so thoght BHS one would be good but BM says it doesn't suit her. Fair enough but now I am panicing as just looked on web and the back up green Catrina dress from Monsoon seems to be unavailable. I know Monsoon have a few other green dresses but they don't really fit the bill. Thinking now I may need to get one ordered from a shop but wedding is at the end of May .... is there enough time?

Problem is I am not in the country either to look and BM is busy organising her wedding which is in early April. Really want to get this sorted asap as so many things seem to depend on BM dress colour.

Do I have time to order a dress from a shop?

Does anyone know what prices they roughly start at? (yeah I know thats probably like how long is a piece of string)

Has anyone seen any other green high street dresses?

THANKS!

    I ordered a Hilary Morgan dress and timescale was 12-16 weeks and it arrived in 5 weeks and cost £169. Every shop and designer will be different though so you would only know if you called the shops that your bm could get to.

    Hope you find something soon x

    We ordered Dessy dresses for a pals wedding and they took 8 weeks although we were advised up to 12.

    good luck!

    Thanks everyone - I see on the monsoon link the catrina dress is there but only in size 18, will see if some stores have it in other sizes. . Also the Debenhams dark green one was lovely - again website only says size 18 but hopefully a store may have it.

    I think I may be chancing it too much getting anything from a bridal shop now.

    Appreciate your help everyone.

    Coast has some sage green separates if it is difficult to get dresses to suit.
