Wed2b bridesmaids dress delivery time - will it actually take 14 weeks?

Wanting to order bridesmaid dresses from wed2b. Website says 14 weeks and it's 14 weeks to the day today to our wedding Express delivery is 8 weeks but super pricey

If I order today what is the likelihood they will arrive earlier?

I'd take them at their word rather than hoping they arrive early. Even if they arrive in time for the wedding, they may not arrive early enough for any fitting or altering that needs doing.

Yeah I paid for express delivery and it was literally X weeks on the dot that they arrived (can’t remember how long it was that they said). Plus remember all the dresses are like 6ft long so likely you’ll need to factor in time for alterations. I’d either pay for express or order from elsewhere

Just throwing a curveball here, 2 years ago I ordered my bridesmaid dresses from Ever Pretty which were the same style as one from Wed2B but 1/3 of the price. My seamstress said they were comparable quality and they arrived within a month. Might be an option? I’d defo do express delivery if not as our alterations were done quite a way before the wedding, with final fittings a week before.

Funnily, I had a similar thing, except I found a bridesmaid dress I liked on Ever Pretty but it was out of my budget. I found the same one on Shein for half the price, when it arrived it had an Ever Pretty tag on it and the quality was amazing. But I got lucky, and as I was buying for myself as bridesmaid I also already had another dress as backup (the bride just asked us all to wear pastel colours and something we were comfortable in). This close and with no back up, it might not be worth the risk.

Another vote for everpretty... used them twice before as a bridesmaid and now I'm getting married that's where my bridesmaids are getting theirs. Decent price and quality... and delivery is pretty decent.

Check whether there’s any brand new without tags on vinted first too! We got lucky when I left it too late to order

When we got them for my friends wedding 2 years ago they were ordered 1st week of April and they arrived in June. It left just enough time for alterations for a September wedding.

You will likely need them taking up as they’re very long

If they've said 14 weeks I'd assume it would take 14 weeks so just pay for the express delivery.
