Dress budget?

I set my dress budget for $1500 not including alterations, veil, shoes and jewelry. I am hoping not to go over but I have feeling I will.

Dress budget?

My mom bought my dress for me and she said she didn't want to spend over $1500, but with some begging I got her up to $2000. My dress ended up being $1800. It kind of sucks that wedding dressing can cost the same as someones rent! I plan on getting a lot of use out of my dress though - like wearing it around my apartment on weekends lol.

Dress budget?

I chose 1.5-3K but I am hoping to keep the dress $2,000 or less since my mom is paying and then once you add alterations and veil and shoes and jelwlery its gets ridiculous. I really would like to stay between 1,000 & 1,500

Dress budget?

I do not want to spend a lot on my dress. I'm not even really excited about the dress. To me, it's really just a dress. Maybe I'll feel differently when I try them on? Part of me just wants to wear pajamas to the wedding! I've always secretly wanted a Pajama Jammy Jam Wedding!

Lol I'm the first one of my best friends to get married, and we wanna do a group 'trash the dress' shoot when we are all married, so just to make sure I stay the size of my wedding dress, I plan on doin the dishes in my dress once a week. Every time I say that it reminds me of Friends

Dress budget?

I told myself $1,500 was my max because although my moms paying I think a wedding dress is a wedding dress. But we ended up spending well under $1,000 and I couldn't be happier!
