I've been stressing over what my dress budget should be... I figured I could spend abt $1000 in dress and veil (w/out alterations) All the dresses i like are way over... and its driving me nuts....
I understand this may be private to many of us and I dont want anyone to feel offended...this is pretty much to hlep me get a better idea of gown costs..Can you guys please share (on the poll) what your dress budget is. now i know we all have different wedding budgets, but i'd like to get an overall idea of a dress cost..
now this poll is for dress only

Re: Dress budget
My gown, after hollow-to-hem measurement, and after alterations, will be a little over $4K. It's an Eve of Milady ballgown, and not what I was expecting to spend, but I love it, so I had to cave.

Re: Dress budget
I wanted to stay under $1000 but fell in love with a Jasmine Couture Dress. After everything it was $1200.

Re: Dress budget

Re: Dress budget
I am going to try to stay under 2k. I would feel extremly guilty spending anything over that. When I go to the bridal shops I am going to tell them my budget. I'm afraid of seeing something is way out of my budget and falling in love with it

Re: Dress budget
I don't even know how much to budget. Hopefully not over 2,000.

Re: Dress budget
I spent a little over 2500 and it was an Alvina Valenta; I got it at a trunk show which lowered teh cost, but they had to order me a plus size, which upped the cost, and negated the discount. I found quite a few lower cost dresses at Lilette's - most were under 1K that I had tried on there. Also when I went to Village Bridal in Babylon, I tried on some that were just over 1K - 3 weeks later I got a 15% off card from them. I'm sure you could argue your way into 15% off off the bat. Keep your eyes peeled for trunk shows as well. Good luck - you will find something!

my budget was roughly $1000 but the dress i ended up getting was being discontinued so i got it for around $450.
WOW... you're a lucky girl!!
My Mom and Dad are buying my dress, they spent about $1,500 on my sisters dress 5 years ago, so I would like to stay around that, but I have a feeling it's gonna be more.
