How far in advance of my wedding/special event should I order my dress(es)? We recommend placing your order 5 months in advance of your event to avoid headaches, and at least 4 months in advance to avoid rush charges from the designers. If you require us to ship your dresses across the country, we suggest ordering at least 5 months in advance to allow for extra shipping time. Depending on how busy the designer is, dresses may be ordered in on a rush basis of up to 6-8 weeks in advance of your event, but additional rush fees will apply. Do you have any recommendations for selecting bridesmaids' dresses when my bridesmaids are very different heights and sizes? This is very common and there are several options. You may select a single style that flatters most body types (such as an empire waist with a-line skirt), or you may select a fabric and color from one designer and then allow your bridesmaids to select the style that suits them best from that designer. This is a popular trend and allows the bridesmaids some individuality while still ensuring their style reflects the theme you envisioned. Should I bring all of my bridesmaids to my appointment? This is entirely up to you. We will ensure you and your bridesmaids have a great time selecting their dresses, but we also know that more people generally equals more opinions. The fewer opinions, the faster you will reach a decision! You may wish to narrow down your choices by looking through our website and then make an appointment to come into our store with your bridesmaids and try on a few of your favourite styles. I know that bridesmaids typically all wear the same color, but I was considering allowing my bridesmaids to select from a range of colors. Will this look mis-matched in my wedding photos? A uniform look for bridesmaids is timeless and can have great impact, but we also recommend trying different color combinations for your bridal party. While you may not want to give your bridesmaids complete control when selecting their dress colors, you could pre-select several tones of one color (or a combination of several colors that work well together) and then allow your bridesmaids to choose from your selected colors for their dress and trims (flowers, sashes etc.). This can produce a very beautiful result in wedding photos! Don't have a great eye for color? We would be happy to help you choose colors that work well together! Do you have all of the styles and colors in stock? Given the limitless combination of styles and colours, it is not possible for us to show every color and style combination available to you. However, we have over 100 sample dresses and hundreds of fabric swatches in our store and can help you design your dream dress from our selection.
