The search for your unique wedding dress is one of the most important choices you make for your wedding, but when should you start trying on wedding dresses to ensure that you find the perfect wedding dress without stress? We give you a number of tips for a carefree search for your dream dress.
Trying on a wedding dress? Start on time!
The general rule of thumb is to start trying on wedding dresses about 7 to 12 months before your wedding. This will give you plenty of time to explore different styles, and find the perfect wedding dress. In this time span, it also gives you the peace of mind that you still have enough time to make a fitting appointment in the bridal studio for tailoring your gown.
Factors to consider: order time or delivery from stock

Weight changes and adjustments
Think carefully about any weight changes you plan to make before the wedding. If you are planning to lose weight or gain muscle mass, it is advisable to wait to size your wedding dress until closer to the wedding. However, if you are not planning to make major changes in your weight, you can safely make your fitting appointment earlier in the studio.
Season and style of the wedding
Consider the season and style of your wedding when deciding on the ideal time to try on wedding dresses. For a summer wedding, you can start earlier, while for a winter wedding, you can start trying on wedding dresses a little later to account for possible changes in your preference and adjustments to your wedding dress.
Fitting appointments and time for adjustments
After you’ve found your ideal wedding dress, you should consider the fact that it may take a few fitting sessions before your dress is perfectly tailored. Therefore, plan enough time in your agenda for these fitting sessions so that you do not have to make hasty decisions. And of course you want to be sure that the bridal studio can schedule you in time for your appointments.
Therefore, make an appointment at the bridal workshop 2 to 3 months before your wedding.
In short, start trying on wedding dresses about a year to 7 months before your wedding to ensure a stress-free search. This gives you the necessary leeway for finding, ordering and customizing your dream dress. Take into account your personal circumstances, such as planned weight changes and any delivery time of the dress.
And above all, enjoy the process! Trying on wedding dresses is an emotional and very special occasion to find that unique wedding dress that will make you shine on your big day.
