Former bridesmaids, how soon did you have place an order for the lovely dress? Is it still six to eight months before the big day?

At least five months, and tell the shop that the wedding is two weeks prior to when you really need it!

I went through a lot of tears before I got the courage to tell the bride that as a grad student I simply couldn't afford the dress she chose. If your sister can't, or you think she shouldn't keep the price down, offer to pay for some of the dress. Or, pick two dresses in the same color that will suit you both.

The most loved brides I've ever seen are
-those who either chose a color and let the bridesmaids select a dress that suits them in that color, or
-those who choose a dress from a catalog. I was shocked to see some of the really beautiful bridesmaid-type dresses available for under $100!!
