Too Soon to Buy a Wedding Dress?

Q: I am getting married in July of 2004. I found a very beautiful dress in Port Perry that I absolutely loved. If I decide to go with that one, is it ever too soon to buy the dress? I want to grab it before it gets discontinued. Also, is it typical for the bridesmaids to wear the same dresses and jewelry?

A: With regards to your wedding dress, it's never too early to buy it. It's rare to find the dress of your dreams, so when you do, my advice is grab it while you can! Granted, you may miss out on a discount, but that's better than risking walking away from the dress and never seeing it again!

Yes, it is typical for the bridesmaids to all wear the same colour dresses and identical jewelry. This is the traditional way that it's done. It carries out your theme colours, and is more visually appealing than having everyone wear different colours. It is not uncommon for the girls to wear the same colour dresses in different patterns. You may want to keep that in mind.
