Order dresses early on

Chelsea, on November 2, 2016 at 09:49 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 8
Hey ladies! Just wanted to share an experience I had this week and remind everyone how important it is to order your dress and the bridesmaids dresses early on!
My girls ordered their dresses in July and were supposed to arrive this month! I recieved a call on Monday from the boutique and I thought they were going to tell me that the dresses were in but that wasn't the case.... They called to tell me there had been a computer error which flagged the order meaning that the order never went through. Now the dresses wont be here until February which is super frustrating.
I am happy though that we ordered the dresses far in advance that this wont effect anything as they will still have time to try the dresses on and get them altered! I had people telling me it was too early to order them and I should wait but I am glad I ignored everyone!
But I just want to remind people to order in advance... better safe then sorry! Also you should always call and confirm that things have actually been ordered!

    We will finalize on the bridesmaid dress this weekend, that's when we are going in for the final fitting. I let them chose whichever shade of purple they like for their dress Smiley laugh

    I rented my wedding dress so I won't actually get to try it or see if again until early April. As far as wedding dress goes, I won't be having different ones for ceremony and reception. But I will be changing twice during the reception. Once for the tea ceremony and another for my ball gown Smiley ring

    Hi Eartha!! Smiley heart That's a great idea! What are your bridesmaids dresses going to look like? Will they be lavender? Smiley love I can't wait to see how everything will look like!! What about your dress? I loved the one you chose in the quiz and said yours was similar! Will you have different dresses for the ceremony and reception? Smiley smile

    Thank you Chelsea for sharing your experience. I plan to order my sooner than later as I want make sure I have my dress on time. I have heard of horror stories about getting their dress last minute. I agree that dress should be ordered very early on in case you need to get alterations.

    I hope everything works our for you and the dresses! The store told me they could put my dresses on a fast track for the inconvenience but I said I would prefer a discount on a viel or something but they refused. I have plenty of time for the dresses luckily!

    Thanks for sharing this with us.

    I am also a little worry on the timeframe of the arrival time of the bridesmaid dresses.

    My wedding is going to be in April, I am bringing my girls to order the dresses this weekend and hopefully it can arrive before X'mas then they will have enough time to do alterations or whatnot without feeling the time is too cramped Smiley diamond

    I would have been extremely stressed out if it didn't work out the way it did!
