I ordered my wedding dress at the end of July and it still hasn’t come in. My wedding is the first week of September. Is this normal? Getting a little worried…

Are they shipping it to you? Just call and ask when it will arrive.

To answer your question, I don’t think it’s normal. Depending on if it’s made-to-order, made-to-measure, or bespoke. Bespoke is the only one I’d think possible at 9 months, but anything else should’ve been there in 1-6. I would be reaching out to the seller if I were you.

If something is off, you want sufficient time to get a backup plan.

This is strange, my bridal salon estimated 6 months and I got it in 5

That’s soo long. My dress had a 2 month turnaround but was expected to take 9 months but I knew where it was in the process the entire time….

When did you ask for it by? Ask for status updates.

Pretty normal. Mine didn’t come in until about 3 months before.

There’s been some posts on the best planning tools (e.g. planners, calendars, etc.), but my question is how do ppl make sure they use them? I get them and am excited about the possibility of them helping for about a week then I just stop using it. Even if I find it helpful I just never stay consistent with it. Does this happen to others? Any tricks or suggestions to stay consistent using planners, to do lists, calendars, etc.

Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.
She sent over a sample ceremony (intro, sweet poems + passages to be read, and example vows), and we read through it last night. I was reading it out loud while my fiancé made dinner, and it just hit me that this is really happening. I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)

My partner and I are planning to elope. We want the wedding and the trip that will go with it to be for us. That being said, we want to throw a party of some kind to celebrate with our friends.
