No matter what kind of bride you are, TDR Bridal is the perfect place to start your journey. With our extensive collection and personalised service, you’re sure to find a dress that makes you feel truly special.

When is the best time to go dress shopping?

Wondering when is the best time to start looking for your Wedding Dress?

So there’s no set “rule” to this, every bride is different. It ultimately depends on you and your individual circumstances.

✨ You might want to be super organised like some of our brides and shop 24-30 months in advance- this gives you longer to plan, organise & budget well for your wedding.

 

✨ You might want to shop 12 – 18 months in advance- the majority of our brides do this as it still gives us plenty of time for your wedding dress to arrive and for all your fittings to be done.

 

✨ You might only have 6 – 12 months because you got a great deal on a shorter lead time with your venue. This is no problem for us at all. We will still have plenty of time to have your dress made & delivered to us plus we have the added benefit of 4 onsite seamstresses so you’re guaranteed to have your dress fitted perfectly in time for your special day.

Did I Say Yes to the Dress Too Soon? Here’s Why You Can Trust Your Decision

Choosing your wedding dress is one of the most personal and emotional decisions you’ll make for your big day. It’s natural to wonder if you made the right choice, especially with so many beautiful gowns out there. But here’s the truth: when you fall in love with your dress, it’s never too soon to say yes!

 

Trust Your Instincts

Saying yes to the dress is about trusting your instincts. Only you know how the dress makes you feel, and if it felt right at that moment, that’s all that matters. Your wedding dress is more than just fabric—it’s a reflection of your personality, your style, and the vision you have for your wedding day.

 

The Timing Is Perfect

Worried you may have said yes too soon? Don’t be! Bridal collections are constantly evolving, and while new designs are always on the horizon, the dress you chose resonated with you for a reason. Waiting might bring more options, but it also risks your dream dress being discontinued, which could be truly heartbreaking.

 

Embrace Your Choice

Once you’ve said yes, it’s time to embrace your choice and start envisioning how perfect you’ll look walking down the aisle. Remember, your confidence in your dress will shine through on your wedding day, making you look even more stunning.
