    I have fallen in love with a dress this weekend and my mum is in love with it too. I'm just wondering whether it is too early to buy the dress or whether I should wait and look around a bit more first. what do you think? xx

    I was thinking the same thing because i have been trying on dresses then panicked that it was too soon. I think if you have found the dress for you get it but then try stay away from other wedding dress shops or you may end up with a few

    I got mine already - if you know its the one, go for it - but do be careful if your not 100% sure. I tried mine twice on 2 seperate occasions just to be sure before I went for it... but it was on sale and absolutely perfect for me so I did it :)

    hun dresses could go up again in august if you love it get it but DONT go into other shops just be happy with what you've got.

    i found one i loved loads but then i made the mistake of going to another shop and found a dress i love MUCH more so i'm buying it this month and then not looking anymore thats it i love it and i don't want anything else other that this dress!

    I got mine i january this year and the only reason i got it this early was so i could pay it up over the next year. Didnt actually want to spend a lot on my dress but i went over my budget by just over double so have to pay it up!x

    I've had mine for nearly 4 years! My sister was getting married and I was looking for a dress for her on the bay of e when I saw it. My h2b hadn't proposed then but I just thought well I could always sell if he never did! Now I'm going to wear it in less than 3 months.

    I ordered my dress in the October 2 years before the actual wedding. I have no regrets. If you are that sure that it is THE dress then get it x x x

    It's not really too early if you've found one you like. I ordered mine April last year and we're getting married August this year - so 16 months before. It took 6 months to arrive at the shop so sometimes it's worth ordering early.

    I ordered mine last saturday I tried it on on two seperate occassions and then waited a week before ordering it. I had been to all 4 of the bridal shops in my area and i saw it in the 3rd shop we went into and I got that feeling as soon as I put it on, and as to it being too early bare in mind that some dresses take up to 6 months to be ordered and come in and then you need fittings etc. Good Luck xx

    I've just bought my dress on saturday, im getting married next october (18 months away). I couldn't resisit it. Lady in the shop advised me, if youv'e seen a dress ulike then try others on and say i like it but...... when there's a but it's not the dress for you. If you keep comparing it to your favourite dress the go and buy YOUR DRESS. because thats the 1 for you.

    Good luck

    I was really lucky though. Tried the dress on monday it was priced at £1100. went back on saturday with my dad to show him and it had gone on sale that day, bought it there & then for £325. I'm so excited, can't wait to wear it for my H2B.
