Look for bridesmaid dresses?
I am going this sat to have my other bridesmaid look at the bari jay dress in person but a few have said to me 'isn't it too soon?' I mean im getting married in May, but I dunno =\

Also, my dress just came in yay! I wanted to know when should you go for your first alteration? A friend of my friends (who are married) said its too soon and I should wait in case I gain(def trying not to do) or lose weight.

your the day after me.... i didnt order mine yet either! I have been looking online and went once with my sister to look. I heard 6 months before is good so i'm gonna try to do it in the next month and a half!
But if you order them earlier i dont see anything wrong with that either!

I picked out the BM dresses 3 weeks ago, and we are just about to order them. It took a good 4 weeks to get everyone to the store, try on the BM dress and get them sized. Def give yourself time, you dont want to stress about the BM dresses at all. The more you can check off your list the best, i would say!

Re: how far in advance do you..

I'm the same month as you. I picked out the dress with my MOH a few months ago, but am not going back to order them until later this month/October since I still have to ask the rest of my bridal party. I didn't want to rush anything lol. My place takes 4 months to come in then figure a month for alterations. So I would say no later then NOV/DEC.
