What is the best time of year to buy a wedding dress?

A good rule of thumb for when to buy your wedding dress is to shop between 6 to 12 months before the wedding. A year before your wedding is an excellent time to begin looking for a dress; you should already have a date set, and venue booked, so you know when and where the wedding will take place.

Can the groom go wedding dress shopping?

This decision is yours, but most grooms agree they want to be surprised by their future wife's wedding dress on the day of the wedding. If your partner is open to seeing your dress ahead of the wedding, and if you value their opinion in the fashion world, you can certainly invite them along.

Can I try on wedding dresses without buying them?

Always make an appointment. But showing up and expecting to try on dresses without an appointment is a significant lapse in etiquette. Trying on wedding dresses requires the full attention of a bridal stylist, and if they're all busy helping other brides, they won't be able to give you the attention you need.
