Re: How much did you spend on your wedding gowns???

My parents bought my dress for me and I loved it as soon as I saw it. It was a Stephen Yearick and the dress was $4500 and then after tax and alterations it jumped to alittle over 6k. It is alot of money, but I loved my dress and wouldn't change a thing.

Re: How much did you spend on your wedding gowns???

I'm really hoping to stay under 2,000..it's a gift from my parents but i don't want to go overboard. does anyone know how much jim hjelm and enzoani dresses are going for? Also, how do you find out about these trunk shows? Do they only have limited sizes at these events? sorry..I'm just lost with this stuff!

Re: How much did you spend on your wedding gowns???

I am proud to say that my dress cost around $800 and my alterations are $350. I would never have been able to justify spending much more than that. JMO n thankfully I found a dress I love!

Re: How much did you spend on your wedding gowns???

I got a sick deal on my dress, i think it was $680 for my MAggie sottero. With alterations, it will total around $825.
Could not ask for a better deal, or a dress I love more!!!

I bought it a bridal salon in Florida.

Re: How much did you spend on your wedding gowns???

I spent $1350 plus tax...I got it at Demetrios in Macy's during a trunk show so it was 15% off. No alterations were needed because I ordered it hollow-to-hem
