Not sure when the ideal time is to find a dress? Let
us give you some helpful hints…
To start off, shopping TOO early can cause problems down the
road. You are probably asking yourself, “How
early is TOO early?” TWM suggests that the perfect time for dress shopping is
about 9-12 months prior to your wedding date. Anxious brides who want to get
started even earlier, that is great! We would advise that the earliest time to start shopping would be
18 months out (a year and a half). If you start any sooner than that, you have
to be careful because:
a)
Your style may change
b)
Your wedding inspiration may change
c)
There could be dress discontinuations
d)
Your wedding date may change
e)
Dress regrets
On the other hand, please keep in mind, shopping TOO late
can cause even MORE problems!! Allow yourself at least 5 months for the dress
to come in, and 3 months for alterations (at least). Upon purchasing a dress,
TWM Stylists provide brides with an ‘estimated delivery date’ to give you an idea of when the dress will arrive.
Brides need to take note that there could be designer factory slowdowns,
stalled deliveries due to weather, etc. Shopping 9-12 months prior to your wedding date allows for extra flextime so
that we can assure you will be stress free.
Questions? Please feel free to ask! We love to help! We want
to make sure that your dress-shopping journey is an experience you will never
forget (in a good way, of course)!
