How much do plan to spend on your dress?

Original post by Mici n KC

With accessories of course. I just went looking for my first time today and the dress I really liked was less than I thought it would be.

ETA: How many places did everyone contact to get prices?

My dress was about $800 (after tax) and I'll probably spend another $500 on everything else (shoes, jewelry, alterations, etc)

My dress was about $1300. Then she wanted about $400 for the veils and I all but told her to go touch herself with that price. I'll find it cheaper somewhere else.

After all is said and done I'll probably have spent under $2K. I'm very lucky to have a very generous little sister though who is paying for my dress as a gift to me for the wedding.

I didn't purchase my dress yet, but I priced everything out and it will come to a little less the $2000 for everything!

My dress was 1200. My godmother is buying me my wedding jewelry and I'm using my mother's veil, although it needs some work. So I should only have to pay for alterations and then I'm done.

my dress cost 740 and i think even with assessories (i hope!) it should still be under 1000



your dress is a Maggie rigth Jenise? I am in love with Nakita by Maggie as well as some others...but that price is awesome. Where did you get your dress from??

this was the second sample I bought...the first one is also for sale by the way!!! It's a size 16, but I'm a street size 12...

I haven't purchased it yet but its pricey...I need to call around to get the best deal. I wasn't going to do it but once FH heard from my sister (MOH) how my eyes lit up once i tried it on he said I HAD to get it and he's gonna buy it for me

ETA: for got the price...it was approx $2,000 b4 tax but I refuse to pay that. I'm determined to find it somewhere else for less.
