As the countdown to the wedding day begins, stress and tension rise in equal measure. Given that choosing a wedding dress can be difficult amidst all this stress, the ideal time is to start the process at least 3–4 months in advance, ensuring that all necessary arrangements—such as alterations and tailoring—are completed by 15 days before the wedding. The sooner you start sorting things out, the more relaxed you’ll be as bride and groom, and the more you’ll be able to enjoy preparing for the wedding.

Choosing a wedding dress is a very delicate process. To avoid last-minute mishaps and anxiety, we recommend sorting out the wedding dress first. Trying on the finished dress 15 days beforehand is crucial both for your peace of mind and to take precautions against any potential issues.

Whether you bring your wedding dress home a month before the wedding or just one day before, it makes no difference; in either case, you must hang it up so that the hem does not touch the floor. It can be hung on a wardrobe door, a hook on the ceiling, or over a door. Without removing it from the protective cover used during transport, ensure all layers of the skirt are allowed to air. It can also be stored wrapped in acid-free special paper. Additionally, if you lightly cover it with a clean sheet, you’ll prevent dust or any potential soiling. Taking care to protect your wedding dress—the most meaningful garment you’ll ever own—will help prevent any potential mishaps on your wedding day.
