  I would say it's best to buy a dress with lots of growing room... Because you may need to special order the dress. But you may want to consider that you might go into labor early, and/or be to uncomfortable to attend the wedding. I'm not saying it's impossible, but for me, personally I wouldn't feel up to it.

  Do you have to get from the bridal shop or can you order online? There are tons of options to choose from online but you want to get something a few sizes larger, has tons of room in the front (but that far along - get a maternity dress) and I would order 2 months before. Good luck! I got stuck in a regular bridesmaid dress and i was moh and had to have the whooooole front of the dress remade! Cost a good 500 at the end of the day.

  I am in a wedding March 15 and am due May 18.  I did not order a maternity dress, but I wore a size 8 pre-pregnancy and I ordered a size 16.
  
  I would be a little worried about the baby coming early, but everyone is different.  Dress wise, just order a few sizes up from what you are now.

  Buy a dress that is cut right below your breast and a size or two bigger. I was a bridesmaid and found one at davids bridal that worked great.

  Don't just think about the size of your belly -- your breasts will also likely be a  size or too bigger by then, and your ribcage will be bigger.   I agree than an empire-waist dress is your best bet, but would also recommend some kind of stretchy fabric if you can (like jersey).    And ask the bride if she minds you wearing flats -- heels could be miserable!
