It's important to ensure you leave enough time to get all your alterations complete, but equally, don't get ahead of yourself. "As a rule of thumb, we recommend starting bridal alterations three months before the wedding," says Martina Spence from Bride & Alter. "Body shapes change without us noticing and if dresses are altered too early, more alterations might be needed before the wedding date."
