Just wondering the average that everyone is spending on their dresses. I plan to do this next and have no idea what I am in for $$$ wise. TIA

Not to terrible so far, I am afraid I will fall in love with something way out of my $$$ range(which I have no idea what that is yet). I have my eye on the Jim Hjelm in my album.

Does anyone know where they sell it?

They sell that Jim Hjelm and Bridal Couture in Manhasset. I tried it on it is beautiful.

Mine was my grandmas so it was free! :) But I am getting some stuff updated and fixed on it and having my veil custom made and then alterations and professional cleaning so it will prolly be about $600-$800.

Mine with veil is about 1500 w alterations...pics in album!!

I wouldnt worry so much about falling in love with a 6k dress, because odds are, the storeyou are at can suggest something veeeeeeeery similar for lower $$$

I got my Jasmine dress for $550!!!! Bridal Elegance is awesome! Shop around and she will most likely beat others prices!!!

Re: So,what is your dress going to cost??

Dress + veil = 1k (prior to alterations)

I feel lucky, because 'the one' was so reasonably priced (at RK ). I don't think I'd have the discipline to turn away from a gown I love if it was over my budget!
