Here’s a bit of Watters’ background info and design philosophy straight from the source:

Wedding Dress Shopping: The Earlier, the Better
Your wedding gown is one of the most important components of your big day. Give yourself plenty of time to make the perfect choice, avoid shipping delays or having to rush to complete the alterations in time. As soon as your venue and the style of your wedding is decided, we recommend coming in to start perusing our sensational collection. Why not make it a group event and bring the entire gang? You want to ensure that your groom, the bridesmaids and the groomsmen are all dressed ideally to be captured forever in your wedding photos. Our separate tuxedo department is located under the same roof but it gives the men their own space so they feel comfortable shopping too.
This advice on being timely with your dress shopping makes the point well:
Start Early
Most brides-to-be are surprised to hear you’ll need at least six to eight months to get your gown — and that’s if you’re really decisive. If you’re not really sure what you want, or are a picky shopper, it’s best to start looking eight to 10 months before your wedding date. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time; waiting until the last minute may limit your selection of dresses, or force you to make a quick decision you may regret later. As soon as you’ve found your dream dress, allow at least eight weeks for alterations. Continue reading at Watters
Willowby by Watters, style Aundin: This is the dress for the it-girl in all of us. With a stunning head-to-toe Adella Stretch Lace, neither comfort nor style is compromised. The star of this gown is the bold open back with thoughtfully placed straps that draw the eye and a sweep train that adds a bridal touch.
