At Dollhouse Bridesmaids, we’ve seen it all—brides who order with plenty of time to spare (stress-free and smiling 🥂) and brides who cut it way too close (cue the last-minute panic!). Trust us when we say this: timing matters when it comes to bridesmaid dresses.
The Dress Journey Takes Longer Than You Think
Our gowns aren’t just hanging in a warehouse waiting for pickup. They’re made-to-order with care, which usually takes about 8-10 weeks. Add shipping, alterations, and life’s little curveballs, and suddenly your “plenty of time” vanishes. That’s why we always encourage our brides to order earlier than they think.
Say Goodbye to Stress
Picture this: your dresses show up two weeks before your wedding, and they need major alterations. Yikes! By ordering early, you and your squad get to enjoy fittings and adjustments without that pre-wedding stress.
Keeping Everyone On the Same Page
Your bridesmaids are busy humans. Ordering early means everyone—from your cousin flying in from out of state to your college bestie juggling work—has time to get fitted and accessorized. Plus, group styling sessions are way more fun without the stress of a ticking clock ⏰.
Alterations Take Time Too
Every body is unique, and almost every dress needs a little tweak. Early orders give your seamstress the time to work her magic so your bridesmaids feel confident and gorgeous on the big day.
Seasonal & Budget-Friendly Planning
Peak wedding season means longer production times, and different fabrics can impact timelines too. Ordering early also gives your girls breathing room to budget for their dress, shoes, and accessories.
Our Best Advice
If you remember one thing, let it be this: order sooner than you think! Future-you will be so grateful. And when you’re ready to start, our Dollhouse team is here to guide you every step of the way. Find your perfect gowns today at our bridesmaid dress store!
