okay ladies, the dress search is about to begin!

everyone says to lie about when your real wedding date is so that you make sure your dress is in on time.

my question is, how far in advance should i say my wedding really is??

I would not give my hard earned money to a store that I did not think was capable of placing and receiving an order on time. They order dresses all of the time, and I had no problems trusting that my dresses would be in on time. JMO.

I agree. I didn't lie about it because I didn't want it to mess with the timing of the fittings. I ordered my dress in Nov for my August wedding and they said it would prob come in May - it came in March. The bridal salon probably ups the date with the manufacturer/designer, but I'll leave that to them.

I gave my actual wedding date in my experience if the bridal shop is familiar with the company you are ordering from they will tell you they are putting down a different date if they have had problems with the manufacturer before...that happened with my Bm dresses the girl working at the shop put down a month earlier!
