Mine is coming out to around $3,000, it really depends on how much money your dress is.

Re: How much are you spending on...
I am guessing somewhere around 5000 - 5500
Gown: 4500 I am hoping to keep everything else under 1000. I think my veil and tiara choice will be the predictors of that.

Re: How much are you spending on...
Dress: 1200 plus 250 for alterations Shoes: Don't have yet but looking to spend no more than 70.00
Tiara: Haven't bought yet either but looking to spend 50-80
Veil: 60
Bra will probably be expensive...
Jewelry: No More than 80
Stockings: 20
I am also purchasing bridal slippers, they are about 20.00 so that this way 2 hours into the reception after my feet are probably killing me i can slip into these.
Handbag: Not sure yet
