How long does it take to order flowergirls and bridesmaids dresses?
A. It takes approximately three months to order the flowergirl and bridesmaids dresses. Bridesmaids and flowergirl dresses should all be ordered at the same time if you are getting the flowergirl dress to match the bridesmaids dresses. The order should go into the vendor at the same time so that it will all be the same dye lot; no color variation. The new fabrics such as the different taffeta fabrics are difficult to alter in that they leave holes where the seams are opened. Therefore, it is better to order your dresses larger and have them taken in rather than smaller to let out. Most bridal shops charge a separate fee for alterations.
