Simple Quick Ship Wedding Dresses For Fall Weddings
Dresses | July 23, 2024
Attention brides with fall weddings! You’re engaged, you’ve set a date for your celebration, and you’re super excited. Congrats! But hang on — what about the dreamy wedding dress? What about delivery times? What about alterations?? We’re not trying to spook you, but if you haven’t started on the gown shopping process, the time to start is definitely ASAP. Lucky for you, we have quick ship wedding dresses and easy personalization options, meaning you’re just in time to find a chic and simple (and perfectly punctual) style for your fast-approaching celebration. You’ll find everything you need in our rundown below!
How Soon Before A Wedding Do You Buy A Dress?
We might live in a world of two-day shipping and in-store pickup, but when it comes to wedding dresses, “the one” isn’t usually something you take home same-day and ready to wear. Consider the end-to-end process of such an important purchase:
- Even before you step foot in a boutique, you’ll probably want to shop around and go to a few different bridal boutiques to try on gowns, peruse your favorite designers’ websites (like ours!), and get a sense of your overall bridal aesthetic and wedding-day vision before choosing your wedding dress.
- When you’re ready for IRL, you typically need to book an appointment, invite your VIPs, and make a day of gown shopping.
- Post-shopping, you should also set aside time for shipping, alterations, accessories, and all the other pretty details to bring your bridal vision to life.
Long story short, you’ve got a lot to consider! Because of how unique and unpredictable the gown-shopping process can be, we recommend that brides start to look for a wedding dress 9-18 months before your wedding date. This means you’ll choose and order a gown 8-9 months before you get married, thus giving you time to find the perfect dress to match the overall aesthetic of the wedding, including the theme, color scheme, season, and venue. You’ll also have time to budget and finalize your gown costs to include alterations, accessories, and any rush delivery fees.
How Can I Get My Wedding Dress Fast For Fall Weddings?
Is your wedding date outside of our recommended timeline for gown deliveries? No problem! Here at Maggie Sottero, we have fast delivery wedding dresses for brides who want their dream dress without the typical waiting period.
Say hello to our Quick Ship program: a range of some of our most popular and romantic styles available to ship within 10 weeks instead of our standard 16-18 week delivery. As an experienced designer, we understand the need some brides have for a wedding dress with a quick turnaround. After all, love can’t wait! Want more info? Read about our Quick Ship program here and talk to your bridal stylist at your appointment.
To help brides with fast-approaching wear dates, we offer many gorgeous Maggie Sottero wedding dresses that arrive faster than our typical delivery window. These Quick Ship gowns are perfect for last-minute brides, elopements, courthouse weddings, short engagements, and more. To place an order for any of these romantic wedding dresses, talk to your Authorized Retailer.
Can You Rush Dresses For Fall Weddings?
Of course! For our brides planning fall weddings, we have plenty of options to make sure you get your dress in time for your ultra-romantic autumn nuptials!
Here are our different shipping timeframes:
- Quick Ship & Super Rush: 10 weeks
- Rush: 12 weeks
- Standard Delivery: 16-18 weeks
Psst! Just a quick head’s up, there is most likely a fee associated with Rush and Super Rush deliveries, so keep that in mind when budgeting!
A few things to keep in mind: While Quick Ship wedding dresses can help you get a gown in time for your wear date, you still need to plan extra time for sizing and alterations. For example, even if you order a gown in your size, you may still need adjustments to the bodice, sleeves, and train. You will also need to check on delivery times for any accessories because some take longer to arrive than your actual gown. Always talk to your stylist for details!
Who Chooses A Simple Wedding Dress For Fall Weddings?
If you’re a bride who loves fall weddings and sophisticated simplicity, you’re in the right place! If you gravitate toward simple wedding dresses, we’re guessing you tend to prefer comfort over luxury. You love something lightweight and airy that enhances your natural beauty. If you don’t want the dress to wear you, you want to wear the dress. You don’t need to be the center of attention, but the spotlight tends to find you anyway. Hugging your guests and dancing the night away with your lover are your priorities when it comes to your wedding day, and we already know your wedding photos will be elegant, effortless, and timeless.
