Or how much did you spend? Where did you get it?

I am getting my bonus on Monday and want to buy my dress asap before I spend it (although it was half of what I expected)

Too much... over $6K.... but love it to much to put a price on it....

YOUR dress is amazing and If I could I would be spending the money on that dress too!
STUNNING!! is all I can say.
so don't feel bad...I have to live vicariously through you for the next year!!!

(I am desperately trying to find THE ONE for me..so i can't post yet about how much i spent)

Re: How much are you spending on your wedding dress?

Thank you AmyMarie!!! I didn't want to spend more than $3500 on the dress. When I tried it I fell in love right away. After that I went to 3 other salons and tried others (much cheaper) but couldn't get the other out of my mind. My mother of all people that think that spending more than $1500 on the dress is crazy shocked me by saying she will pay for it (she loved it, when she saw me in it, she teared).....so she did.... I didn't tell my FH how much it costs because we wouldn't make to the wedding because I would be dead!!!! lol...I will tell him after he sees me in it....

i LOVE my gown!!!

FYI: No tax on dresses in Jersey and you can usually get a better deal! The Bridal Garden in Malton was a bit far but very work the trip. My friend is getting her Ines diSantos dress for 4600 flat (no tax remember), it was 5400 (w/o tax) in NY.

I saved so much having my dress shipped to my uncle's house in Jersey. My dress would have been $5300 w/ tax. Luckily I only had to pay $55 for shipping. It's the alteration price ($450) I'm not too happy about.
