Alfred Angelo BM turn around time and other bridesmaid dress questions

My bridesmaids live in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boston, and NY so it's been hard coordinating when/how to shop for dresses. How long is the usual turn around time for bridesmaid dresses ordered through Alfred Angelo? Our wedding is April 25th and we still haven't gone shopping for dresses yet. Should I skip the traditional BM route and find dresses off the rack? I'm looking for Mint or Sea Glass blues/greens short dresses. I really like Alfred Angelo Sea Mist but I fear I've waited to long. On a whim I ordered a mint BM dress from Target to see how the quality is. Please help!

    My daughter's BM lived in NY, BOS, DC, and FTL. They ordered their dresses the end of December at their local stores and were in by March. Good luck.  Oh, eta, they were from AA. 
  • We ordered our BM dresses early June and it came in late August/early Oct.  We did NOT pay a rush fee, but AA's rush fee was only $15.  It does all depend on the dress you get too, the dress we selected was a new style when we ordered.

  • A friend of mine had her BM from AA and they had to have them all in by end of March to get in by July/August I think for her end of Sept. wedding. I would call the shops now to make sure it can still be ordered & guaranteed on time, because you may be pushing it with allowing time for alterations. Once you find out from the shop let your girls know immediately their deadline.
  • My bridal posse ordered their dress from AA and we had a fantastic experience and turn around time.  I believe they ordered in December 2011 (wedding was October 2012) and all had dresses within 2-3 months.  The staff was helpful and they were all pleased with the quality and comfort of their dresses.
  • My bridesmaids ordered their dresses from Alfred Angelo at the beginning of December. I was told they would arrive by the end of February. My wedding is in early May.
