  After you've set your budget, guest counts, and ceremony/reception location. Some ceremony sites have attire restrictions such as places of worship, you don't want to go shopping, pick out a dress and find out "SNS NOPE!" on the dress...  Some require straps/sleeves/modesty/etc. and going as far as they want a picture of you in the dress that doesn't get shown to the groom, but still...  The budget is the big  part because you don't want to be walking into a high end boutique if your budget isn't.  Also, when you set your dress budget, remember you're going to have alterations, potentially a busk, crinoline, shoes, headpiece, veil, etc. that can double it.  It is easy to go up in budget than it is to go down!

  Oh, great question! I’d say book your bridal makeup trial about 2-3 months before the wedding—enough time to test styles, tweak details, and make sure you love the look. If it’s peak wedding season (like May-June or Sept-Oct) or you’re eyeing a popular makeup artist, bump that up to 3-4 months in advance—their slots fill up so fast! And don’t forget to confirm the final look with them about a month before—just to lock everything in.

  A bridal appointment should be scheduled 6–9 months before the wedding. Most bridal gowns take 4–6 months to arrive after ordering, with 1–2 months needed for alterations. Booking within this timeline allows for proper fittings and avoids rush fees or limited dress options.
