The Perfect Timing: When to Order Your Wedding Dress

The Perfect Timing: When to Order Your Wedding Dress

Planning your wedding is an exciting journey, and finding your dream dress is one of the most magical parts! But timing is everything. When should you order your wedding dress to ensure it arrives in time for your big day? Let’s break it down.


Start Early
The ideal time to begin your search is about 9-12 months before your wedding. This might seem early, but bridal gowns are often made to order, and the process takes time. Starting early gives you plenty of time to explore different styles, try on gowns, and find the one without feeling rushed.


Order 8-10 Months Before
Once you've found your perfect dress, it’s time to place your order. We recommend ordering your wedding gown 8-10 months before your wedding date. This allows time for the gown to be custom-made and delivered to Anna Christine Bridal. Most dresses take several months to be produced, and you’ll want to leave room for alterations, which brings us to the next point.

Alterations: 2-3 Months Before
Your dress has arrived—yay! Now, it’s time for alterations. We suggest scheduling your first fitting about 2-3 months before your wedding. This gives our expert seamstresses enough time to ensure your dress fits like a glove. You may need 2-3 fittings to get everything just right, so don’t wait until the last minute.


Final Fitting: 2-4 Weeks Before
The final fitting should be done 2-4 weeks before your wedding day. This is when any last-minute adjustments are made, ensuring your dress is flawless. After that, your gown will be steamed and ready for you to take home.
