When should I buy my wedding dress/outfit?

The excitement of buying your wedding outfit, especially if it's been on your mind since you were little, as it has been for many, can be something that makes you think you need to rush out and get it as soon as the engagement has been announced.

Actually, it's recommended that you wait until about 8 to 6 months before the big day. This gives you enough time to find the colours and silhouettes you love, as well as enough time for tailoring and shipping by the designer.
