When Do You Order a Bridesmaid Dress?

Time is one of the most important things you must consider when purchasing the bridesmaids' dresses. Normally, brides have an idea of what dresses they would like their bridesmaids to wear. As a bride, you would want your bridesmaids to look chic, elegant, and comfortable while matching their attire to yours.

Keep in mind that dresses take time to manufacture and alter, so order your bridesmaid dresses at least two to six months before the wedding date to ensure that everything will be ready in time. Be sure to check the brands lead time, some places are made to order and can take up to 6 months and others are ready to ship! These are things to consider when choosing your bridesmaid dresses. These timeframes give enough time to order the dress and ensure it is correctly sized after any necessary alterations. Ordering the dress in advance is always better to avoid last-minute confusion.
