What to know when buying or getting a wedding dress designed

The number one thing you need to know is to plan and start early. Supply chain issues are real and that goes for wedding dresses too! Spring and fall are popular for wedding planning. Your favorite salon might not have an appointment available for weeks or even months, so plan accordingly. An important question to ask is “What is the timeline for this dress?” Ask your salesperson how long it will take and what will be needed along the way — and get it in writing. You should also ask about their must-order date and allow at least a few weeks of bumper time before your wedding date.

How early should I get my wedding dress?

If you are doing any sort of customization or getting a dress designed from scratch you’ll ideally want to start 12 months before the wedding. If you are considering an off-the-rack dress with alterations 6-12 months are ideal, but it can vary greatly.

COMPARE STYLES ONLINE 

Have no idea where to start? Try using websites like Sherri Hill to find inspiration online. These platforms can help you find the styles you like and help you speed up the shopping process when you make it down to the store. Plus, you don't need an appointment or have to dress nicely to browse online. For these reasons, we recommend checking out a few options online to help you find the right dress before you commit to lengthy appointments that run the risk of wasting your precious time.

What are other wedding dress options?

Non-white wedding dresses are more popular now than ever. If you need eco-friendly options, you can look into buying 2nd hand or upcycled wedding dresses. Etsy has plenty of small businesses dedicated to eco-friendly wedding planning.
