I didn't really have a budget, but I thought it would cost around $3K give or take based on what some of my friends paid. I haven't bought my dress yet, but all the dresses that I like are in the $600-$1200 range.

I didn't have a budget either b/c it was a gift from my mom. But I didn't want to break her bank

Re: $$ so, we all have/had a wedding gown budget, how much did you spend on your dress and was it over your budget?

OMG i got so lucky! everything i have booked so far has come in at more than i wanted to or expected to pay BUT my wedding gown!!

i went to bridal reflections in massapequa not expecting to find anything but just to look. the first dress i saw (was being tried on by someone else) i knew that it was the dress for me-- it was beautiful and classic, timeless but elegant and not too simple but just right (for me)... so i tried on a few others b/c this girl had it on! lol... so then finally when she took it off i said to the lady-- get me that dress!! i tried it on, without even looking at the price, and fell in love!!!! i was SO scared to look at the price tag b/c it felt so good on and it looked so nice-- it's SOOOO well made so i'm like omg this is going to be 5 grand. I looked and it was around $1899 (if I remember correctly) and I was like ... so i said WOW that's pretty damn good. then i called burton's to see if they could get me that gown and they got it for me and told me $1100 so me, being greedy, i said i really didn't want to pay more than 1000 (such a lie LOL) and she said the best she could do was 1000 even so that's what I am paying!!!! The dress is ALREADY paid off (and easily done)... i am SO lucky. my PROM DRESS cost more than my wedding gown-- my prom gown (from cache) was, with the matching wrap, $1250!!!

I AM SO LUCKY!! but of course, everything else i broke the bank on so what can you do? but I just thought I would share that, a little long-- but fun!

My budget was: $5000-$6000 (or maybe more, if I really loved a gown I would do anything to get it) and I ended up paying $1000...

if someone would have told me this before this happened i would have said NEVER!
