Wedding dresss!

Got engaged Nov 2020 and went for first dress fitting in Sept 2021. Bought dress then. Only went to two shops as i had a very good idea of what I wanted but also did a lot of online research as that’s fun! We are getting married in July 2022. Good luck

I get married in July 2023 and I said Yes to my Dress on Saturday! I went to 2 Shops and found a Dress that I hadn’t originally picked that I absolutely fell in Love with so I would definitely suggest trying on different styles. The Stylist said that they usually advise looking 6-8 Months before the Wedding but due to Covid, she would recommend at least 12 Months in advance as there can be delays

I would say a year before, but there is no harm in looking now, but bear in mind you could change your mind. I found It helpful to try on a variety of styles as what I thought I wanted looked awful but ended up finding the perfect dress fairly quickly after I had ruled out styles. I would say with your time frame to maybe go in March time as this is normally when the new season styles are released and last years may be cheaper so you could get a good deal. Have fun looking and good luck

I don't get married until August 2023 but I bought mine August 2021! I had just been going to try a few dresses on for shape etc and fell in love with one!
I do worry I bought it too early and my bridesmaids weren't all with me just my mum and sister but every time I look at photos on my phone we took of me in it a get excited to go back to try it on for my bridesmaids and wear it for my wedding day x

I got my dress 10 months in advance and my fittings will be done over 3 months before x

I bought my dress 10 months before although dress shops recommended 12-18. As much as I left it "late" according to dress shops, it's been enough time for me to have second, third and fourth thoughts and window shop on Instagram. I do love my dress but I'm definitely glad I didn't shop any earlier. It also feels like forever since I tried it on. Can't wait for alterations to begin later this month.

I think it really depends on if you (like me) fluctuate quite a bit with your weight. I also want to lose a few pounds before the wedding so I'll hopefully be looking about 6 months before and I'll just have to keep my goal weight. If your weight doesn't change then I guess you could start shopping whenever you like 😊 just to add, I in no way think women should lose weight just for a wedding, I just over indulged alot at Christmas and lockdown 🤣

I’m getting married May next year too and I’m going to start shopping next month 🥰

I’m getting married in 2023, I’m starting end of month after speaking to some bridal shop they have said if I don’t have a dress of the hanger it can take some dresses 6 months to be made. You need to find the right one in time for it come with it being able to be altered to you as that could take a couple weeks

Try Davids Bridal and book an appointment! You get someone to help you choose a dress and it was really straightforward and doesn’t have to be crazy expensive! I loved my wedding dress experience there and it was recommended to me. Have fun trying on dresses ☺️

Before purchasing a dress, I've look through Pinterest

Hey!
I'm getting married in May next year, I went looking for dresses the end of augast this year, I said yes to the dress in September. I've read online it's best to get it 9 months before, not sure how true that is though🤍
