We tackle the important wedding planning question of when bridesmaids should purchase their dresses, with honest advice from our personal experiences both as a bride and as bridesmaids.

• Let bridesmaids choose their own dress style within your chosen color scheme
• Consider that bridesmaids have different body types and comfort levels
• Order dresses 6-8 months before the wedding to allow for sizing issues
• Alterations, wrong sizes, and shipping problems are common with bridesmaid dresses
• Two months is not enough time, as demonstrated by a stressful real-life example
• Remember bridesmaids are paying for their own dresses, alterations, and accessories
• Groomsmen have it easier with standardized tuxedo rentals
• Being considerate of your bridesmaids helps everyone enjoy your special day
