Time to dress shop?

Harriet, 27 of April of 2024 at 18:17 Posted on Wedding Attire 0 16
Hi,


I’m getting married in October 2025 and was wondering when is the right time to start dress shopping? I have been looking at the styles I like already but I’ve heard mixed messages about when to actually visit a shop so I was wondering if you could help me?
Thank you in advance, Harriet Smiley smile x

    Hello! I get married this July and I started shopping and found my dress at the first place in May of last year! I would recommend once purchased sort your seemstress as I got my ladies last appointment and I booked that in either December or January thinking I had lots of time! Enjoy it all! It’s a very exciting time!

    Hey! Right now October 2025 feels miles away but honestly it will be here before you know it.

    I am getting married in 12 weeks time and I started shopping in February 2023, I finally bought my dress in March 2023 - The shop owner of the boutique I bought mine from told me that 12-18 months before is the ideal time, especially if you are having a bespoke wedding dress made. Also, I agree with Shay, definitely get your seamstress booked as soon as you have your dress, the appointments go fast.

    Hi there, I'm getting married October this year, and bought my dress last October from a wedding dress boutique. It only arrived this month (end of June) after ordering it last year. I still have to go in and do an initial dress fitting in a few week's time, before any alterations. I think one year in advance is pretty good, and gives you plenty of time. Good luck! Exciting times Smiley smile

    I don’t think it’s too soon to start dress shopping for your wedding in October 2025 especially if you’re not sure of style. Our wedding is June 2025 and I started looking in March. Bought my dress in May.
