How far in advance do I actually need to order my wedding dress for a wedding?
I found a dress I love, but the boutique is suggesting I buy now to allow for production and alterations. I still have another appointment in a few weeks to try on a specific style I’ve had my eye on, but I am worried that waiting until the end of the month might be cutting it too close. I need to know if buying nine months out is a genuine requirement or if I am being pushed into a decision earlier than necessary.

7 answersWhat actually happens at a normal wedding from start to finish?
We are planning our own big day but realised we have never actually been to a wedding before. We have the budget sorted, but we are a bit lost on the actual timeline. We want to know how a non-religious ceremony leads into a buffet reception and how long each part typically lasts so we aren't just guessing based on what we see on TV.
