Please don't respond if you are not comfortable revealing this information.

I am just curious to know how much everyone is spending on their wedding gowns . . . I guess I am just trying to figure out what I should expect so that I can budget accordingly.

If you can, would you please post the designer of your dress, and how much you are paying (have paid)? Thanks Girls!

Gerty and I are 'dress twins' but I paid $100 more for the same dress! And it's from the same store, but I got it in their Queens store. Prices do vary. It's worth it to shop around.

Re: Dress Prices

Mine is a Richard Glasgow - $2800 plus $250 for alterations. But also thinking about adding buttons down the back so I'm sure they'll slam me for that!

Re: Dress Prices

Mine is also a Demitrios and it was $790.90 (before alterations). I can't show a picture because it was recently discontinued and it's no longer on their site. Sorry!

Re: Dress Prices

I got my dress from a Michelle Roth sample sale for $350.00. Alterations costs me $350.00 too but it needed major alteration i.e shorten dress from waist, make dress sleeveless and add some of excess embroider/lace to the dress. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my seamstress, Karin Y, she did a great job with my dress. In total I spent $1000 for the dress, alterations, dry cleaning, veil, and tiara.

Re: Dress Prices

I haven't picked a dress yet but I've set my limit at $1000. I've found a bunch of great dresses all under my price max too. I would recommend RK Bridal in NYC for all price ranges and a huge selection. It's worth the trip.

Re: Dress Prices

Hey ladies..., Marcela is correct, I'm an attorney and my FI is a veternarian.

I agree, $12,000 is totally psychotic, but when I tried that on, I fell IN LOVE!

Everyone's dresses are soooooooooo beautiful!

Re: Dress Prices

Kathy: I don't think it's totally psychotic if you have the $$ and it's THE ONE for you. Once you find THE ONE, there's no going back.
My original budget was $1,000 (but I was really hoping to spend less than $1000) and ended up falling in love with a dress twice that amount.

THanks Marcela!

Re: Dress Prices

I am wearing a Maggie Sotero, and with the matching purse wrap, jacket and alterations it is costing me $1350.

Edited to add:
This is also including sewn in cups and the slip.

Re: Dress Prices

I am paying 1500 with tax plus they are adding sleeves to it, and a veil, headpiece and alterations, I just have to pay extra for the bustle. It is a Paloma Blanca
