It's ok to start looking around and even trying dresses on but I would seriously consider waiting until you actually make a decision and place an order. So many girls who have ordered early have seen other dresses that caught their eye and wind up purchasing a new dress (so many new styles are going to be available to you between now and when you should purchase your dress). Also, if you order now, your dress is most likely going to come in super early and the salon may not be able to hold it for you at the store so you will have it hanging in a closet for a long time before you start fittings.

Like others said, definitely start trying on dresses to get an idea of what style you are looking for/works best for you and just enjoy playing dress up - it's one of the best parts of planning! I started looking/trying on dresses about a year and a half in advance but didn't order my dress until 11 months before the wedding. It should be here in March

you can go LOOK, but i wouldn't recommend buying now. your taste and outlook on your wedding may change drastically. i had a long engagement too, but i didn't let myself get worked up about wedding dresses until a little more than a year out.

I would wait another 2 years before buying the dress...just bc new styles come out and you don't want to buy a dress now and then later fall in love with a new one.

if you find THE dress... in my opinion its never too soon....


BUT you are talking to someone who got her dress in 2007 for a 2010 wedding cause it was being discontinued.
