just so you know.. FH & I are paying for EVERYTHING regarding our wedding...his parents paid for our HM and my mom paid for my bridal shower hall rental..but that's only 5% of our budget/expenses.... I didn't intend on buying a dress for the amount that I did.. but I tried on ones that were far less and they didn't have the impact of wow this is the DRESS... it maybe ridiculous to you but it made senset o us to buy the dress that was meant for us.. the dress that we will reflect on in our pictures, our videos and in our memories. so try not to say that it's 'ridculous'.
thanks!
I used to think it was ridiculous to pay tons of money for a dress I will only be wearing once. Don't get me wrong, I do have a figure for what I find reasonable and unaffortable. People will vary on what their choosing to slurge on. For me it will the photographer and my makeup.
personally, i could never spend more than $1500 on a wedding gown...and i managed to spend far less....i, too, am amazed when i hear that people spend thousands...it just baffles me...but that's ME. i think that's what the OP meant. it was hard to spend what i did spend on my gown. i actually made it a point to NOT bother to look at gowns that were over 2k...and i absolutely loved my gown...so i didn't settle to satisfy a budget either...b/c to be honest, the whole wedding was paid for and we had no limits. i still couldn't spend thousands on my dress...just seemed silly to ME.
I didn't spend a crazy amount on my dress either. I bought what I fell in love with, and it just so happened to not cost a ridiculous amount of money.
well i didnt pay more than 1k..infact w/ tax my dress was still under 700$! But my thoughts on it some girls feel this is that 1 special day to shine.......so if it means they get a 99$ davids bridal special or a Vera Wang....well so be it! Good for them!! I too cant see spending k's of $$$ of a gown but some ppl see the need so i say more power too them!! Also MANY couples on here are paying for their own dresses,halls,limos etc......my parents as a gift gave 1 lump some but the rest is up to us!!!

i'm so happy we all can disagree and get along tonight.![]()
I have to say, everyone has one thing that is most important to them. John and I are footing the bill for the whole shabang so we decided that the hall and photographer were going to be our big purchased. I picked the dress of my dreams out of a magazine and tried on a million before I even looked at it because I feared the price. It ended up being under 1K which is what I said I would spend BUT I loved that dress and if it was more... I would have paid it.
