A lot of brides worry about the perfect timing to begin dressing up for the wedding. Wedding planners advice to do it about 1-1.5 hours before the wedding ceremony. It should give the bride enough time for all the lacing, zippers, hooks, a corset, a veil, jewels, and all the rest. Also, she’ll have extra time for any emergencies that can possibly pop up. Don’t forget to add extra time for the ride to the wedding venue.
