My wedding is March 7 2009

Question

When should i start looking for my wedding dress and the wedding parties dress and suits

Answer 1

I asked a similar question here a few weeks ago and here's the conclusion I've come up with:

Start looking and order your dress as soon as possible. Dresses take a while to come in when they're ordered (which they almost always are), and then alterations almost always have to be done, which can take another four weeks or so. Some brides worry that they'll find "the" dress too early, and not like it a few months later, but I think that's silly because you know the right dress when you try it on.

As far as your bridesmaid's dresses go, we're ordering those about 6-7 months before the wedding because those usually don't need as much alterations. But when you find the BM dresses, ask the store how long everything takes to be ordered, etc., and decide from there.

Our groomsmen, as well as the groom, are all buying suits. We haven't found them yet, but we're going to start cracking down on that about 9 months before the wedding.

Usually, the earlier, the better. The last few months will be filled with details, which will become stressful, but you'll feel better knowing that at least your dress and the wedding party attire are taken care of.

Good luck!

I would think that you would want to start doing anything you can as early as possible; so by the time march 09 rolls around you are set. And then you can see if there are last minute changes you will still have enough time to make those changes! Good Luck and Congrats!!!!
