How far in advance should I order bridesmaid or mother-of-the-bride dresses from MB Bride?
At MB Bride & Special Occasion in Greensburg, PA, we recommend ordering bridesmaid and mother-of-the-bride/groom dresses at least 6 to 8 months before the wedding. This timeline ensures enough time for designer shipping, group coordination, and any necessary alterations.
Here’s why that window matters:
⏰ Bridesmaid Dresses
Most bridesmaid gowns are special order, not off-the-rack.
Designers like Morilee, Christina Wu, Jasmine Bridal, and our exclusive lines often take 10–14 weeks to arrive.
It’s best to allow an additional 4–6 weeks for alterations after the dresses come in—especially if the bridal party lives in different locations.
👗 Mother of the Bride/Groom Dresses
Many of our designer mother-of-the-bride dresses (like those from MGNY, Adrianna Papell, and Marsoni) are also made-to-order and require 12+ weeks to arrive.
Early ordering guarantees the best selection in terms of size, color, and style—and minimizes rush fees or stress.
💡 Planning Tip: Start shopping for bridal party dresses around the same time you order your wedding gown. The earlier you begin, the more choices you’ll have—and the less rushed the process will feel.
Do you offer color swatches at MB Bride?
Absolutely! At MB Bride & Special Occasion in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, we offer color swatches and fabric samples for many of our bridesmaid dress designers to help you confidently plan your wedding palette.
If you’re coordinating colors across multiple bridesmaids, matching to florals, or building a mood board, fabric swatches are a great way to:
Compare shades across different fabrics (like chiffon vs. satin)
Match colors with tuxedos, decor, or flowers
Help out-of-town bridesmaids feel included
Ensure accuracy when selecting mix-and-match gowns in complementary hues
We work with top bridesmaid designers, many of which offer swatches by request.
Swatches are:
Available for in-store review during appointments
Orderable to take home for most collections
FREE!
💡 If you’re planning a wedding with custom colors or a mix-and-match bridal party look, just let your consultant know at the start of your appointment—we’ll guide you to styles and designers that offer the best swatch options for your needs.
