when should bridesmaids order dresses
Plan Ahead. Gather your bridesmaids and choose the desired dresses roughly six months before your wedding. Once you order the dresses, it can take as long as three months for them to arrive. When the shop receives the dresses, arrange a day for you and your bridesmaids to meet for the dress fittings. Accounting for the potential for delays and the necessity of second fittings, expect up to six weeks to have the garments altered. Each of your bridesmaids should have her dress ready about six weeks before the wedding.
