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.

What 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.

Has anyone here tried ordering wedding flowers from wholesale suppliers

I’m considering sourcing wedding flowers from a wholesale supplier instead of a florist. Has anyone used options like FMI Farms Flower Wholesale or similar? Would you recommend it for weddings?
