Has anyone not ordered their BM dresses?

I was just wondering if I am the only one who is procrastinating. My BP doesnt want to order them until as late as possible so they can get to the size they want to be but I cant wait too much because if I dont have the color I really cant complete some of my other tasks.

I want to go in January/February and pick the style and color and then they can order in April.

I haven't yet.
My MOH is going to go in late Feb/early march to pick out hers (she's in Vegas). Then once she does that I'll take whatever bms I can (some are out of state) to get theirs.

ETA: But I have picked out the color and designer.

I picked them out when my sisters were here last month. They only come to visit me once a year so we had to do it then. They have until december though to get to the weight they want and call in thier measurements :)

I haven't gone yet all I know is the color I want and I will let the 3bm's choose their own style.

My BP hasn't ordered them yet but I will be ordering them w/in the next month or so b/c I was told the designer (Watters) takes a long time to make the dresses.

I haven't picked mine out yet or looked at them at all. You still have plenty of time, so don't worry! You still have 10 months until your wedding and BM dresses will only take 3 months, tops.

That being said...

It's your wedding! If you want to pick out dresses and have your girls order them, then do it! Your wedding. Your rules.

Your ring is gorgeous BTW!!!

Aw, thank you! My FH did a good job finding this one!

I have not even picked them out yet!!!! I have to order them by the end of December. This is the hardest decision for me!

Re: Has anyone not ordered their BM dresses?

I just ordered mine on Monday night! They told me it would take 4 months for them to come in, meaning March. I need time to be able to ship them to LA, Dallas, and Philly plus the time for the girls to get any alterations they may need. They're short dresses, so hopefully people won't need too much if anything done. I would start looking asap, there is SO much out there! That was one of the first things I started looking at back in July. I didn't order until now though. With your wedding date, I would wait until after the new year to order. I don't know when new styles come out, etc. but that's another incentive haha. Good luck!!

I have 10 girls and 8 of them have gone. The two left are giving me the hardest time. It's giving me unwanted stress. I have to give them a deadline and I think you should too. You want to make sure that there will room incase there are any mistakes. Tell them the dresses can be altered.

Re: Has anyone not ordered their BM dresses?

I think I am the worst of everyone. My wedding is 5 months away and the dresses were ordered a couple of weeks ago. I hope they come in on time!

We haven't order ours yet either. We have been to a few stores and are narrowing it down. We'll probably order them in the next few weeks.

My Wedding Planner is taking care of all the ordering for the girls, they just have to give her the money. I think that we are doing that in December/Jan.

We have the style, just I'm waiting til the last minutes to order them because 2 girls are in another wedding in July. So for me they have until January to order them.....
