Question 7

When should I order my dress?

Accepted Answer

As our dresses are made in Canada our order and shipping timeline is shorter than most boutiques who order internationally. We recommend ordering your wedding dress 8 - 12 months prior to your wedding day. To give yourself time to find the perfect gown, brides should start shopping 10+ months before the wedding. If you find yourself short on time we can rush order some dresses, or you can also purchase a gown from our sample collection.

Nude undergarments and inspiration photos.
