bridal dress shopping tips

Check it off your list - When to buy attire for your wedding

Almost daily at Twirl Lexington we are asked, "when should I order my wedding gown and bridesmaid dresses?"  While there are many factors that go into this decision, our advice is to do it as soon as you know it is the one!  Below are the top three reasons why you order when you know what you want.

  • Delivery Time Varies:  Most of the bridal gown designers we offer at Twirl Lexington have a four to six month delivery time.  Most of the bridesmaid designers we offer have a three to four month delivery time.  Of course, this all can change on a moment's notice, especially during busy ordering times!  This is just one reason to go ahead and order when you decide it is the one...to avoid stressful delays caused by unforeseen events such as weather delays, fabric mills running behind, and even Chinese New Year (for those produced overseas).
  • Discontinued Fabrics/Colors:  Retailers are not given much notice on discontinuation of colors and fabrics.  If you have your heart set on a certain color...order it before it is gone.  This recently happened with one of our designers due to the fabric mill they used not producing the fabric any longer. 
  • Peace of Mind: You have the dress of your dreams with plenty of time to spare for alterations!  You can check your wedding dress and the bridesmaids dresses off the list and move on to planning more fun details for your big day!

So, go ahead, choose your dress, set up a fun bridesmaid fitting party at Twirl Lexington and take it off your long list of To Do's before your I Do's!

Happy Shopping!
