At Lulu’s Bridal, we know that saying “yes to the dress” is one of the most exciting moments in your wedding journey. But what happens next? How long does it take for your dream gown to be made and delivered? Understanding the timeline is crucial for planning your wedding preparations smoothly. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate this process with ease.

The Dress Ordering Timeline: What to Expect

Initial Consultation and Selection (1-2 Weeks)

Your journey begins with an initial consultation at our Dallas salon, where our experienced bridal consultants help you find the perfect dress. Once you’ve made your selection and said “yes” to the dress, we take precise measurements to ensure the gown fits you perfectly.

Dress Production (3-6 Months)

The production timeline varies depending on the designer and the complexity of the dress. Most bridal gowns are made to order, and this process can take anywhere from four to six months. During this time, the designer carefully crafts your dress, ensuring every detail meets the highest standards of quality.

Final Fittings and Alterations (1-3 Months)

After your dress arrives at our salon, we schedule your first fitting. This is where we make any necessary adjustments to ensure the perfect fit. Most brides need two to three fittings over one to three months. Our expert seamstresses handle these alterations with precision, ensuring your gown looks flawless on your wedding day.

Planning Your Timeline: Key Considerations

Given the timeline outlined above, it’s essential to start shopping for your dress at least eight to ten months before your wedding date. This allows ample time for production, delivery, and alterations, ensuring you avoid any last-minute stress.

Rush Orders

If you’re working with a shorter timeline, don’t worry. Many designers offer rush order options for an additional fee. This can significantly reduce the production and shipping time. Discuss this option with your bridal consultant if you find yourself in a time crunch.

Tips for a Smooth Process

1. Book Early Appointments: Schedule your initial consultation as early as possible to give yourself plenty of time.
2. Stay Informed: Regularly communicate with our team to stay updated on your dress’s progress.
3. Plan for Alterations: Factor in time for fittings and alterations when planning your timeline.
4. Keep an Open Mind: Be open to exploring different styles and options, especially if you’re working with a tight schedule.

Starting November 25th through the December 4th, Lulu’s Bridal Salon will be hosting an Allure Bridal Trunk Show.

The Crum family transformed their family-owned fabric store into the Bridal Collection, a bridal salon serving Tennessee brides for many years until the opportunity to manufacture bridal gowns arose. By 2000, C.E.O. Kelly Crum had expanded his mother’s fabric store into a thriving wholesale bridal collection in only a few short years; the line’s rise to popularity was swift and quickly gained recognition for beautifully detailed and well-constructed dresses. Allure Bridals was born shortly thereafter, moving into the menswear and occasionwear markets as well.

The Allure collections have consistently garnered praise, winning awards including “Fastest Growing Top 100 Private Companies” and “Top 100 Private Companies” in the Mid-South for multiple consecutive years. After 20 years of expansion in the bridal markets and multiple successful bridal and formalwear collections, the Allure Bridals brand family continues to pride itself on thoughtful designs to match every bride with their dream dress.
