I got a reeally great deal. My dress was originally about $1400, but got it through RK Bridal for $440! (No alterations, though- those will probably be about $200)
Borrowing the crinoline from my best friend, tiara and veil from Barrons- $130 for both, and shoes were $50 at Davids. So I'm stil way under budget, which is good cause I think it's the only thing that will be!

I didn't real have a budget, just didn't want to spend too too much money.
So far dress was $850 w/tax but stll need to do alterations, veil, etc...I am thinking of borrowing someone's tiara but then i think that that is probably something my future daughter (not pregnant now but looking to the future) will want to play dres up with someday...
Basically, pretty happy wiht what i have spent so far and am happy with what is left to do

Mine was around $950, but after alterations, taxes and minor changes to the design of the dress, probably around $1400. Not terrible I guess.

my original budget was for 1 to 1.5k... After trying on about 50 dresses, I decided on the third dress I tried on which is 4k. This includes nothing else,not the viel, not the tiara, not the shoes or the slip of undergarments or alterations. But I LOVE IT!
It took me about 3 month to finally make the decicion, I feel real guilty spending so much, like I constantly think to myself I can save that money for furniture or whatever, but I also can;t stop feeling that I would never feel as good in any other dress.
Anyway, i don;t have a picture yet, but I do have a pic of the tiara that I am 99.9% sure I will get. I love it because it has marqui swarvoski crystals which match my ring. I feel its a nice way to accentuate it.
Also my dress has no beading so I can do a big tiara like this and it won't get lost or seem like too much. I LOOOOOOVVEEE IT!
Once I get it I will wear it everyday at home....so corny I know!!

I didn't want to spend over $2000, so I went to Renate's and bought a gorgeous gown for $918!!! I didn't even look at the price when trying it on so I'm very very very happy with it
