Wedding planning can be exciting, but also stressful—especially when it comes to choosing the wedding dress. To avoid any unpleasant surprises, it’s important to know how far in advance to buy or reserve your wedding dress.
Buying a wedding dress – at least 6 months in advance
If you’re planning to buy a wedding dress, it’s recommended to do so at least 6 months before your wedding date. This timeframe allows for:
- ordering a made-to-measure dress,
- alterations and fittings,
- adding custom details as desired.
Buying in advance ensures you have enough time for the dress to fit perfectly and for your big day to go smoothly, without stress.
Renting a wedding dress – reserve as soon as you know the date
If you want to rent a wedding dress, it’s best to do so as soon as you know your wedding date and have your venue booked. The reason is simple: popular dresses get reserved quickly, and in our salon each wedding dress can be rented a maximum of 5 times. (check our blog)
Booking in advance means your favorite dress won’t be taken for your date, and you’ll be able to plan everything else without worry.
Tips for stress-free preparation
- Book your appointment at the salon right away – so you have the widest selection and can be sure the dress won’t be taken.
- Schedule fittings and alterations – especially for dresses that are purchased, as they typically require 2–3 fittings.
- Bring a companion who knows you well and understands what suits you.
By booking in advance, you ensure that your wedding dress is perfect, available, and ready to make your special day unforgettable.
If you’re at the beginning of this beautiful and exciting journey — book your wedding dress fitting and give yourself the chance to find the one, without rush or pressure. We hope these tips were helpful.
