9-12 Months: Shopping Begins
Here’s the thing: most brides start shopping for their dresses about 9-12 months before the wedding. Why? Well, gowns can take 4-6 months to arrive, and you’ll want time for alterations. Plus, this is the perfect window to find trends that speak to you, whether it’s lace or a sleek minimalist vibe.
6-9 Months: Say “Yes” to the Dress
If you haven’t already found “the one,” don’t panic! Get to a salon and start trying on some dreamy options. This is when it gets real, darling! Bring your fave crew along for support but keep it small—too many opinions can rain on your parade. Remember, the Mon Amie team is here to help you find your bridal bliss. 💖
4-6 Months: Fit and Alter
Okay, you’ve scored your dress, now it’s time for the fun part: alterations! You’ll usually need 2-3 fittings to get everything just right. This also gives you time to say goodbye to any dress drama. Love a boho style? Check out our boho wedding dresses for some inspo.

Don’t rush this part; after all, the perfect comb can take a wedding dress from pretty to jaw-dropping! Pro tip: try not to save this for the last minute because, let’s face it, you’ll want to shine all day.
