How many of you already have your wedding dress? I'm going to a Jasmine trunk show on Jan 20th and I already tried on 1 jasmine dress that I really love so I think I definately am going to get that dress. Do you think it's to early to order? I was going to wait until the spring to look but I was bored one day and went with my mom and found two dresses I love. AHHHH what to do

Re: Wedding Dresses

i put a deposit on my dress in january 2004... when i thought i was getting married in june of 2006

Not to early to order at all - if you love it, go for it!

The one thing i do kind of regret though is not trying on more dresses after i chose mine (i only tried on 6).

Don't get me wrong, i love my dress, and wouldn't change a thing, but i kind of feel like i jipped myself through some of the experience of dress shopping by choosing so quick.

Have fun!

Re: Wedding Dresses

I didn't go looking yet because I want to loose some weight first like 20 pounds.. so as of well tomorrow i'm back on my diet in a big way and then i'm going to go dress hunting in the spring prob round april or may. That's a year before anyways so it works out. But if you see something you love know there's no real reason to wait. Have fun!

Re: Wedding Dresses

I fell in love with the second dress I tried on. However, the woman in the store was really nice and informative and said that there is no rush to order (i am getting married in Feb. 07)... since it is an 2005 dress I have until March to order...that should give me about 3 months to lose the 15 pounds i need to!!

if you're not sure if they will still have it---ask! a reputable store will be able to tell you how long the designers will make the dresses and when you need to order by.

Also, i see a lot of people on here talking about david's bridal. i have heard HORROR stories about that place.... a friend of mine, they completely ruined her dress... she had to get the dress shortened like most people do (because apparently designers think we're all 5'11) and they did it completely lopsided only about 2 weeks before her wedding. I have also heard stories of people not having their bridesmaid dresses until a week before with no time for alternations and of them messing up shoe orders. i've heard from people that if you're going to get your dress there do it way in advance because they are always late and DO NOT get your alterations done there because they will botch it up...

i'm not trying to completely bash the place, but those are just my experiences and those of my friends!

Me and enjft going to Reem Acra trunk show january 12th. IMO if you get that feeling like its the one it does not matter besides I've been told from more than one bridal store that it takes 6-8 months for dresses to come in so 2006 is the latest collection we can get as early half of 2007 brides.

From what I hear you should start looking 6 months before your wedding. It is too early for me so I will wait till like September.

I am ordering mine on Saturday. I believe it does take about that long, though they put my wear date a month earlier. The shop will most likely hold the dress for you.

Re: Wedding Dresses

I ordered my dress in october and it will come in March! I did not want to go dress shopping yet but my future sister-in-law and I went and I was hooked! When I put it on I knew and it is evrything I wanted which was almost impossible to find I don't think its too early when you find it you know no matter how soon or late you look

Re: Wedding Dresses

I ordered my dress already. I did the same thing. I was bored and wanted to see what was out there, so me and mom went and low and behold it was the first gown I tried on. Their not ordering it now though, because it is a bit early. I happy with my choice and I don't think it's too early at all. It's one less thing we have to worry about. Go for it!!!!!
