So maybe 600.00? It was originally 1000.00 but I got it used from Brides Against Breast Cancer.<img src="/my-plugins/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/icon_biggrin.gif" /> </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-much-didwill-your-wedding-dress-cost/page/5#post-268994 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 18:08:23 +0000 emg 268994@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I went over budget, although I never really had a budget. My parents decided to buy my dress for me and my mom thought we would spend about $3500-4000. I could have easily stayed in that amount, but &quot;the&quot; dress was $4900. I had come to terms I wasn't going to buy it, but my mom wanted to see it on me. The moment I walked out she had tears coming down her face and without a doubt we signed on the dotted line. It's a Priscialla of Boston gown and will be here in about two weeks. I'm very excited! On New Year's Eve my fiance and I took a carriage ride and we passed by a Priscilla of Boston store and I remember seeing the dress I bought in the window. At the time we were not engaged, but had talked about it, and I remember clearly thinking to myself that the dress in the window looked like the most perfect dress...and I made a mental note to stop by after we were officially engaged just to look around. I never thought I'd walk out buying the gown in the window.&nbsp; </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-much-didwill-your-wedding-dress-cost/page/5#post-268954 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 17:30:52 +0000 MissMelissaB 268954@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>My Budget for my dress alone was $350, I feel I did much better, since my total price included all of my accessories.</p> <p>Total Cost: $ 361</p> <p>Dress: $168 with tax</p> <p>Alterations: $145</p> <p>Shoes: $21</p> <p>Hair flower: $7</p> <p>Crinoline: $20 from ebay&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-much-didwill-your-wedding-dress-cost/page/5#post-268953 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 17:30:04 +0000 Miss Chicken 268953@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I told myself the dress could not be over $1000 before taxes.&nbsp; So my dress was actually $998, after taxes and things it came out to just under $1300.&nbsp; I still will have alterations and a few changes to make, but I'm hoping that wont be over $300!!&nbsp; But I'm so in love with it :) </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-much-didwill-your-wedding-dress-cost/page/5#post-268941 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 17:18:53 +0000 Mermaid1082 268941@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Budget: $1000 (just for the dress, we counted accessories and alterations seperately)</p> <p>Dress: $650 (Jasmine 170)</p> <p>Custom design changes: $200</p> <p>Alterations: $300ish</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-much-didwill-your-wedding-dress-cost/page/5#post-268932 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 17:05:02 +0000 soon2bewed925 268932@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Martina Liana Dress that I LOVE $2,100... it was a gift from my parents <img src="/my-plugins/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/icon_smile.gif" /> </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-much-didwill-your-wedding-dress-cost/page/5#post-265576 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 13:15:10 +0000 ilovenycmissie 265576@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>$599</p> <p>alterations</p> <p>$700 whew!! next time I'll get closer to my size--except i only plan to get married once</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-much-didwill-your-wedding-dress-cost/page/5#post-265533 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 12:50:27 +0000 jbbaby 265533@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Budget: 1,500</p> <p>Dress: 1,200</p> <p>&nbsp;My sister went to the store the next day and pay half without telling me!

Undergarment and Dress. I already bought all the materials (fabric and accessories) everything on sale!!! Yay!! </p> <p>My total is $75 dollars </p> <p>Here&rsquo;s a pictures of the undergarment and crinoline</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l217/joylucero/wedding/my-undergarment.jpg" /> </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The actual dress is not finish yet, but is a mock up of the Designer Monique Lhuillier - Swan Lake and an Alvina Valenta, pictures here <a href="http://kenandjoy.blogspot.com/2009/05/lets-talk-dress.html"> (Link) </a> I actually tried on very similar dresses to have a better idea and solve all my doubts about &ldquo;how I was going to make it&rdquo; I&rsquo;m soooo happy with the dress so far, I can&rsquo;t wait to finish and share it :) </p>
