Not at all. Its all in what you want to spend. The salons have all types of dresses in all different price ranges. I asked this as well before i went because i didnt know what to expect. But truly they have all ranges. Dont be embarrassed you would be amazed how many girls are within your range & less. Its all in what you want! Hey I only paid $1500!

It's all up to you and what you want to spend. Nevermind what the bridal salon thinks. They can accommodate all price ranges.

Dont worry about it...bridal stores have dresses that are over 2000 and under 1000...you set a budget and tell them and they can bring out dresses in your price range! I only wanted to spend 1000 and i got mine for less than that! You will be able to find plenty of dresses for 2000~

Re: wedding dress budget

i think that this is a very generous budget and you may very well find a dress that is much less than that and perfect for you...bridal stores can work with any price range- def. dont feel embarassed

Re: wedding dress budget

I think 2K is a great budget. There are a wide variety of dresses within that range.

Re: wedding dress budget

when i went looking i saw lots of dresses in that price range - as a matter of fact, almost every dress that liked and wanted to try on was between 1k and 3k....

Re: wedding dress budget

OMG that is a pretty good bugdet ... more than what I had ... dont tell them that is your budget, you should try to lowball it and see what they bring you, if you dont like anyhting then go a little higher

Re: wedding dress budget

I would tell you this. Find the dress first then worry about the buget. I was looking and fell in love with my dress and it was only 700! So, I would say find what you love first.

Re: wedding dress budget

Your buget is realistic. I only tried on dress that were under $2000. My dress was $1025 with all alterations included.

Re: wedding dress budget

That is definitely a realistic budget. Another thing you need to consider is if you are including alterations in your dress budget or making that its own category... a $2000 budget including alterations might mean that you can only spend like $1600 on a dress and save the rest for the alterations. Good luck!
