Bridesmaid planning baby... When to go dress shopping?

She could still come with you all then permit be her decision as to when she thinks it best to shop for her dress. That way she gets some input and also knows what sort of course or styles she will be matching to. Plus she can enjoy trying on even if she doesn't know what size is best for her yet.

Ask her what she would prefer - give her all the options you've just given. If you do decide to go mismatched she could still go with you and the other BMs when they buy their dresses even if she decides to get hers post baby.

Hi I've had the same and had mismatched bridesmaids so I just still got them to pick their dresses 6 months before the wedding and my bridesmaid who was planning to get pregnant picked a style she thought would be quite flexible. She fell pregnant and will be 6 months at the wedding so we are just waiting for her dress fitting to be two weeks before the wedding so all should be good!

I think you have some time as if your BM conceived today she would be due until November time but it may well be longer then this until she gets pregnant. I should think if you go this may as you would have liked to, then she won't be showing so can try on dresses, then only worry would be that she might not have got back to the size she is now before the wedding, so maybe get 1 or 2 sizes up and then it can be taken in if needs be. Ultimately I think if you are open and discuss it directly with her and see what she thinks is best then you won't go wrong ?

Thanks everyone :-) I think I will talk to her and see if she wants to come with the other bridesmaids to try a few things on and then order hers after the baby :-) hopefully it will all work out ok!
