Dress Shopping Appt

in October 2014 Weddings

I'm planning on starting my dress shopping in December when my out of state bridemaids will be home for the holidays. When should I start calling shops and making appts? I'm concerned that the holidays might be a busy time, and I just don't want to wait too long and then not be able to get in anywhere.

Any advice would be helpful! Thanks!

    A week or 2 in advance should be fine. I always call to confirm a couple of days before, but that may just be overkill. 

    I'm pretty sure that would be the standard anywhere.

    Have fun!

    How fun. Do you know what style dress you are thinking you might like best?

    Thanks! I was wondering if I should call now, but I didn't want to be the over kill kind of Bride. I'll hold off until early December.  I want lace. Strange because when I was younger I always envisioned strapless satin, and now I'm thinking cap sleeved vintage inspired lace dress, but I've been told you never really know until you try them on :)

    It all depends on where you live and how popular the shop is. There is a place in my town that is very popular and I had to wait 3 weeks to get an appointment where as there is another bridal shop that I was able to make an appointment 2 days prior. I like to plan and HATE unexpected bad news so if you can make appointments now and just confirm a few day before like @teddiD34 suggested

    It really doesn't matter what the shop people will think of you. Make the appointment now so you secure the time and date. Also your maids will have a timeframe to work around when they are filling up their calendar.

    I made my appt 2 weeks for an appt this sat..foolish me thought I could just go in without an appt. wasn't thinking at all. I am bracing myself for an emotional time, as my mom passed away 2 years ago. Although my sister (my matron of honor) and my 2 aunts will be with me, it won't be the same wilt her being there.
