When To Start Looking for Your Wedding Dress? A 2025 Bridal Guide

Choosing the perfect dress takes time, and starting early allows you to explore different styles without feeling rushed. Visiting bridal boutiques, trying on various silhouettes, and considering customizations is part of the fun—and you want plenty of time to enjoy it!

Custom Orders and Production

Most bridal gowns are made-to-order, meaning it can take anywhere from 6 to 9 months for your dress to arrive once it’s ordered. Starting early ensures there’s enough time for the designer to create your gown without delays.

Alterations and Fittings

Once your dress arrives, you’ll need to schedule fittings and alterations to ensure a flawless fit. This process typically involves 2 to 3 fittings over several months, so starting early gives you peace of mind that everything will be perfect on your big day.

Avoid Last-Minute Stress

Planning a wedding is a busy time, and the last thing you want is added stress from a tight dress timeline. By starting your search early, you can relax and focus on other aspects of your wedding as the date approaches.
