Wedding dress definitely came first. I kind of had an idea what I wanted for my bridesmaids, but wanted their input.

Wedding dress! I picked it out 3 weeks after we got engaged. (2 years ago) I’ve had the bridesmaid dresses picked out for about 5 months and sent the links to my girls last month.

The bridesmaids dress were picked first. I was being too indecisive about my wedding gown. But I was being indesisive about the bridesmaid dresses too so I picked 4 different ones and let them choose which they liked the best for their body type and personal preference.

No bridesmaids, so my dress was the only concern.

Nobody got to have an outfit before I did. I picked my gown out. Then picked theirs out immediately after... then it was discontinued and i chose a different one...

As far as purchasing or just choosing? I knew the style/essence of both pretty easily, finding the actual dress that matched my vision was a little harder. But I had the bridesmaid dress narrowed down to one before I chose my dress. Actually had 2 picked out online from Azazie I was going to "rent before you buy" but then I went to David's Bridal and found the perfect dress well within my budget. So I have my wedding dress, but the bridesmaids dresses have not been ordered yet.
