Shopping time line

Many brides want to know when and how far in advance should they start to look for their dream gown. My best advice is a year in advance is the normal engagement time so that is a GOOD STARTING POINT. Plan out your budget, your specific designs and then let a professional guide you. Shop when you are serious about buying...when you find it say Yes to the dress...You do not need to go to more that 2-3 specility bridal salons.

Friends and family referrals are a good starting place…
