If you’re dreaming of a beautiful summer 2026 wedding, one of the first questions on your mind is probably: When should I start looking for my wedding dress? Timing is everything when it comes to bridal dress shopping, and starting at the right moment can save you stress and ensure you say “yes” to the perfect gown.

We recommend beginning your dress journey 8-10 months before your wedding day. Since it’s currently September 2025, that means now is the perfect time to start browsing and booking appointments! Most designer gowns can take up to 8 months to be delivered from the date of order. On top of that, you’ll want to allow 2-3 months for alterations, so your dress fits flawlessly from the first try-on to your big day.
Starting your wedding dress search early also gives you the chance to explore our collection without pressure, try on multiple styles, and discover a gown that truly reflects your personality and wedding vision. Whether you’re imagining a flowing romantic dress, a sleek modern silhouette, or something in between, giving yourself ample time ensures a stress-free experience and plenty of room for customization. |
Pro tip: Booking your appointment early is key! Our stylists are here to guide you through the process, from finding the right silhouette to selecting fabrics, details, and accessories that make your look unforgettable.
