Let's Talk Timeline
First things first…
IF YOU’RE A 2022 BRIDE, COME IN NOW!
And for the rest of you wondering when you should start shopping for your dress, the short answer is: it depends! Read along as we break down the ordering and production process for a small business like ours.
Generally, the best time to start shopping for your dress is about a year out from your wedding date. But, if you are within that time frame already, don’t stress! Since we are local, we are usually able to create dresses pretty quickly, so let us know your timeline and we will make some magic happen!
In a rush? Shopping sample sale gowns might be your best route!
A Sample Sale gown is a gown that is the original sample of that style. When one of our styles does not go into production, usually because they are too cool and fun for the masses, we sell the original sample. So, it is a one-of-a-kind gown, off the rack, and may have some very light scuffs from photoshoots. Because of this, all Sample Gowns are discounted. Our Sample Sale selection is always changing, with styles selling and being added regularly.
Sample Sale gowns are off-the-rack, so they are available immediately.
For gowns purchased from the Loulette Bride Studio, orders should be placed at least 8-12 months before your wedding. This allows plenty of time for making your gown, and a stress free time period for alterations.
If your gown was purchased at a Loulette Bride retailer, please check in with your retailer directly for timeline details!
