​

WHEN TO START WEDDING DRESS SHOPPING?

Our made to order dresses takes 4-6 months to ship. Brides should factor in 2-3 additional months for alterations. We suggest shopping at least 8 months prior to the wedding date. This allows time to find the perfect dress, garments, shoes and accessories as well as the appropriate time for alterations and to avoid rushing. However, we're always able to accommodate all short time frames working with our designers.
