There are plenty of ways to still get your dream wedding dress without having to wait months for it to arrive. We do recommend doing this as soon as possible to allow you time for any alterations that need to be done.
RUSH ORDER
Many bridal boutiques and stores allow you to rush order your dress
(this isn't available for every dress but it may be an option!)
OFF-THE-RACK
At most bridal boutiques and stores, there are off-the- rack dresses
that are made to be purchased as is and taken home that same day.

but are sometimes available for purchase depending on the store.

that have wedding dresses ready to order!

There are a number of rental companies that will also also you to rent a dress
vs. buying it outright. This can also be a money saving option!
VINTAGE STORES OR CONSIGNMENT SHOPS
There are some vintage stores and consignment shops that specialize in
wedding attire - search in your area to see if there are any close by!
TUXEDO & SUIT RENTALS
Most Tuxedo & Suit rentals can happen very quickly. Our recommendation would be to do this as soon as you have your date locked in so you can give yourself some wiggle room.
Quick Tip!
Follow your local wedding dress shops on instagram.
Some will do flash sales via social media!
