Planning ahead is everything! Here’s the bridal gown timeline every bride should know:
*9–12 months before the wedding
Start shopping & say “YES” to the dress!
Most gowns are made to order and can take 4–6 months to arrive.
*6–8 months before
Place your order & relax, your gown is in the works!
*2–3 months before
Begin alterations (most brides need 2–3 fittings).
*1 month before
Final fitting & make sure your gown is perfect for the big day.
Bonus: Shopping early means less stress, more options, and plenty of time for those magical finishing touches.
