A clear timeline takes the stress out of wedding planning. Here's the schedule we recommend to our own brides and grooms at TomQ Bridal.
12 to 9 months out
Set your budget, book your venue and start researching your wedding dress and suit silhouettes. This is a great time to try our AI try-on tool to shortlist styles before your first in-studio appointment.
8 to 6 months out
Book your first bridal and groom fittings, confirm your photographer and caterer, and send save-the-dates.
Dress ordering timeline
Couture gowns typically need 4 to 6 months for construction plus time for alterations, so this window is the latest we'd recommend placing your order.
5 to 3 months out
Attend fittings for alterations, finalise your ceremony details and send formal invitations.
2 months to wedding day
Final dress fitting, final headcount confirmations, and a last walkthrough with your venue.
