I'm getting married August 2020 and was wondering when the best time is to start looking for wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses? Also suits? Is it to early to start looking now? Thank you x

Hi I would start looking 1 year before :)

I've just started looking and my wedding is in just over a year. May be a bit early looking 3 years in advance but everyone is different I guess.

Getting married in September 2019 starting to look at bridesmaids and mine next month just cause I'm really fussy and it's probably going to take me a while to find something i like

I bought my dress 3 years before and I am glad I did as it was discontinued last year. However I am pretty decisive and knew I wouldn't change my mind

Im getting married July 2020 and going to try an dress on tonight that i saw and fell in love with when we were looking for my sisters wedding dress. If not 'the dress' i will wait until late next year before i start looking.x

I'm getting married may 2020 and I'm going for my first look at dresses on 26th of this month. My H2B will pick when he goes for the suits but il prompt him a year before. I'm thinking a year before for bridesmaid dresses, depending as I'm getting them made so need to go on what dressmaker says x

I'm also a 2020 bride, and I've only just been getting ideas on what I like. I won't start shopping until 2019 but it's your choice, as shops won't repeat dresses and you don't want to miss out!! Best of luck finding the dress. Xx

I'm getting married November 2019, I'm looking at lots of dresses now but haven't tried anything on yet. Bridesmaid dresses I won't look for until beginning 2019 but all my bridesmaids are under 16 so I can't buy too far in advance
