How far in advance to make dress appointments?

mle178

My bridesmaids and I plan to spend Sept. 26th checking out wedding dresses. How far in advance do I need to set up appointments at dress shops? Is a week sufficient?

Yeah, you can likely call just a few days before and should be fine!

The best case scenario is probably to just call the places you want to visit and see if they will see you with or without an appt.  I have only had to make 1 or 2 appts. The other shops have let me just show up and all have been wonderful!

I made an appointment, but I'm buying my gown out of town, so it was almost necessary. One week is time enough. Good luck.

1 week should work especially if you are going on a fri/sat/sun. If you want a wednesday its probably not as busy. All of the places in my area ny/nj require appointments.

Hey Mle, I'm going out on September 26th to look at dresses too! I called the one place already and made an appointment, but I haven't at the other stores yet. I plan on going to 3, and I really wasn't sure how long each place will take so I'm hesitating. Good Luck!

Hi, I dont usually post over here but I am just starting my dress hunt. I actually just went through this today. I wanted to go to the Pronovias Flagship and Kleinfelds in NYC on a Saturday in October. Both stores only had one appointment left on the 10th and they were at the same time so I had to make my appointments for the 24th. So if you are going to multiple stores I would call ASAP since apparently I needed 6 weeks!
