Time and Space: Two things you need to consider

I think it's very interesting when I see brides who are gown shopping before they have a venue chosen. Nothing is more key in helping you decide what you want then knowing when and where your wedding will be. Now, you may have a place in mind and a certain feel that you want to go for, but there's nothing like KNOWING the space you'll be in so you can imagine yourself on the day.

For time, worry less about season and more about time of day. If you are getting married in August outside, you may make different choices than if you are getting married inside in December. That's just part of the comfort of the dress, and how heavy you are ok with it being. The overall shape and style will be determined by the time of day ( which often has a big influence in how formal the event is) and the location.

I'm not saying don't buy a dress if you don't know where your wedding is. Some people manage to do this and make a great choice. But if you are thinking that you should dress shop as early as possible, I would say, if you have time, wait until the venue is set. It will help you narrow down the overwhelming options out there!
