Beautiful young woman bride with her bridesmaids

Order your wedding gown 6 to 8 months before your wedding
Order your bridesmaids dresses 4 to 5 months before your wedding
If you don’t have enough time to order your wedding gown, ask your bridal consultant if you can purchase the floor sample – this route can also save you some money
When you are shopping for a wedding gown, bring your mom and/or one or two friends whose opinions you value – too many opinions can get confusing and frustrating
