When is the BEST time to start Wedding Gown Shopping?

You've got the ring, the venue, and the date - now it's time to focus on THE GOWN, or jumpsuit, or two piece!

If you're walking down the aisle in 2026, you should start shopping ASAP and if you are a 2025 bride, the time to start shopping is NOW!

Starting 8-10 months before your wedding date is ideal.

This gives you ample time to browse, fall in love with the dress of your dreams, and make a confident decision.

Plus, planning ahead allows you to schedule alterations appointments, choose the perfect accessories, veil, shoes, and everything that compliments your look!

If you found your dream dress BEFORE 12 months - AMAZING! We love an early bird!

For our lovely brides who join us after the recommended timeline - no worries at all! Our skilled team crafts everything right here in our Brooklyn studio, so we can accommodate shorter timelines too. Just remember, there will be a $300 rush fee for orders placed within 2 months of your wedding date.

we cannot wait to play dress up with you
