5. Timeline and Ordering Details
Once you find the one, your stylist will go over sizing, ordering, timelines, and payment. Most wedding dresses take 4–5 months to arrive, so we recommend shopping 8–10 months before your wedding day. Alterations are a seperate item that will need to be taken in consideration on your timeline for your dress. This can typically add an additional 1-3 months depending on who you choose to use. We’ll also provide alteration recommendations list for you to check into.
