When do you start trying on gowns??
My wedding is now 11 months away and I am not sure when I should start going out and trying on dresses. I am looking on line and in the magazines but I have yet to step foot into a bridal store.

Yikes, I'd go ASAP. An employee at RK Bridal told me it can take months just for the dress to arrive in the store.

Don't worry - I'm less than 9 months away and really just started. I got lucky and found it early on but I dont' plan on ordering until the end of July, which is about 8 mos before my wedding. Go when you're comfortable.

Re: When do you start trying on gowns??
I started looking at dresses right around 10 months. I went to lots of places and tried on lots of dresses. Take your time. If you are ordering a dress they may want you to give them 6 to 9 months prior to the date. But most of all have fun!

Re: When do you start trying on gowns??
The first time I went dress shopping was at the end of Feb. We had only booked the hall and church a couple of week before that and the first place I went to said that I would need to order order it no later then the middle of March, thats about 9 months before my date. They say it can take about 8 months to come in. I ordered it in March and its expected in late August or Setember.

Re: When do you start trying on gowns??
Dont stress - just make an appointment and go - its fun - i recently ordered mine begining on june - so i guess about 7 months - my dress takes 4 months to come in. Find out which designer you like and then find out how long it takes for the dress to come in - some designers take longer than that.
