Ok so this is a secret story! shhhhhh!!!! I have issues because I change my mind and mood every other day and I've been loosing weight also.

Bought dress #1 for about $850 going out of business sale

Dress #2 $300 - ebay

Dress #3 $425 - someone who canceled their wedding

Dress #4 - Was able to use the credit from #3 cause it didn't fit me to buy this one which is a $600 dress.

Alterations on dress #4 $200

Slip #1 - bought from a friend for $40
Slip #2 - bought new on sale for $50 because I decided I wanted my own?????

Veil $25 - ebay

Tiara #1 - $20 after bargining about a year ago at a small shop in the fashion district
Tiara #2 - $35 ebay brand new great barin!!!

Dress was $4000. I think that was kinda high for a slim/mermaid dress, but I fell in love with the fit and style of the dress.

My dress was $3800 less my 13% trunk show/friend was my sales person discount. Not including alterations or bustle or tax.

Haven't purchased anything else yet. I hope to keep the whole thing under $5,000.

My dress was $3500
My veil was $1000.
My dad thought the price of the veil was the price of the dress. I thought he was going to have a heart attack when the saleswoman informed him of the bad news!

WOW, so many people paid over three grand for their dress!!!

I wonder if we would be ok with FH paying that much on his tux?

I put the under $1,000 because I am using my mom's wedding gown but having it altered, so there are obviously costs to that...

My dress was $970 not including alterations, veil or shoes. I was so proud of myself because I really thought I would go over $2,000.

I think I did well by doing research and calling every store that carried the designer dress and found it in North Carolina and got the dress for $2.200 half of the original price. And, it was my MOH (sister) wedding gift.

My dress was about $1250. Still need to get tiara, veil, shoes, bra, slip and all that. Hopefully it will all be about $2000-2500.
