One of the most common doubts couples have is:
“How early should I start shopping for my wedding outfit?”
It’s a fair question—wait too long, and you risk rushing into whatever is available. Start too early, and you may worry that trends or your size might change. Here’s a simple guide that clears the confusion.
1. Ideal Timeline for Brides
Bridal outfits usually involve more detailing, embroidery, and fittings. To stay stress-free:
-
Start at least 4–6 months before the wedding if you want a custom-made lehenga, saree, or gown.
-
This allows time for design discussions, trials, and last-minute adjustments.
-
If you’re buying ready-made, 2–3 months is enough for selection and alterations.
2. Ideal Timeline for Grooms
Many grooms delay outfit shopping, thinking it’s simple. But custom sherwanis, suits, or coordinated couple wear also need time.
-
Start 3–4 months early for custom designs.
-
For ready-made suits or kurtas, 1–2 months before the wedding works fine.
3. Consider Season and Fabric Availability
If your wedding is during the festive season, designers and boutiques get busy, and fabric demand rises. Starting early ensures you get the best quality and choice without compromise.
4. Last-Minute Shoppers
If you don’t have months to plan, don’t panic. Dreamease Apparel offer express custom options or semi-stitched outfits that can be altered quickly.
