Hiya

Im thinking about dress shopping and maybe starting to have a look round some shops over the next few weeks. The wedding isnt until November 2012, is it too soon?

When did you all start looking?

    Hi!

    No not at all, We get married June 2012 and I went looking in Feb of this year. I got an idea of the shapes I liked and the styles that suited me. I actually bought and ordered mine in March, although it won't come into the shop until November.

    Personally I think its good to start looking now!

    Plus it allows time for them to order a dress if need be and allows for alterations etc. Plus gives you time to pay it off!

    Hi,

    Its never too early to start looking at dresses. It's not as if u have to buy one right away, u can just get ideas of what u like.

    I got mine in November 2010 and we don't get married until September 2012, so go for it!

    Hope u have fun dress shopping

    Its never too early to start looking, its helps to get a good idea of what kind of styles you like and just have fun and enjoy the experience. I got mine in April this year and our wedding is not till August next year Smiley smile

    Never too soon! I was very late with mine.. I didn't start until January this year and found a dress at the end of January. I haven't seen it since then. I've got a fitting tomorrow though. Looking forward to my reunion with the most expensive piece of clothing I have ever and will ever buy.

    Not too soon no. My cousin bought her dress 18 months in advance. We think we're getting married end of august next year and i haven't even booked the venue yet, let alone looked at dresses! most take 6-8 months apparently to come into the shop.

    Hi, nope not too soon at all. My wedding is November 2012 too and i put the deposit down on my dress last November! They aren't taking my measurements till January next year, but it has meant I could get a dress I want rather than worrying about getting one in budget as I have been paying it off slowly and now I only owe a small amount due when the dress comes in...and I havent had to take the money out of the wedding fund!!
