How far in advance should I order my wedding gown and/or bridesmaid gowns?
The manufacturers that I deal with have a 12 – 14 week delivery schedule. During the busiest times of the year it is always best to order a little earlier. This will help reduce your worries about timely delivery! You also need to factor in the time it will take for any alterations to be done. Most seamstresses will require 2 – 4 weeks to complete your alterations, so a good rule of thumb is to make sure you order your gown 4 to 5 months before your wedding. If you are on a shorter time frame, there are some manufacturers that can deliver sooner. Please stop in and check with me as to the availability!
