When we got engaged, we set the date for 12 months time. I started looking for dresses straight away. I was told that the dress had to be ordered a minimum of 6 months in advance, in order to get the dress made and any alterations done. I ordered mine just over 8 months to go. I would say 12 months in advance is plenty of time to start looking. Dresses changes for the design seasons, so if you start looking now, the same dresses won't be around next year when you get around to ordering it.

Dya Know what? Its never too early! I started looking for my dress in february this year, im getting married next may, tbh I wouldve started to look earlier but I just didnt have a minute. I picked my dress in March & paid the deposit, got them to hold off ordering til June cause I wanted to lose a few pound!

But when ya wanna start looking do, it might take ya a while to find the perfect dress! :smileybride

I would go and have a feel for what you like. dont buy too early as u might see too much of one style betwneen now and your wedding and you might get worried. one year is loads. i have not even picked mine yet. I have heard girls worried thwey dont love their dress close to the wedding as they bought it so early, so take ure time. God luck. its the best part!
