Hello! I’m super happy that I found my perfect wedding dress! I had my Mother in law and bridesmaids there when I found it! And as soon as I put it on I knew, I teared up and so did my mother in law 😊 Best moment ever!
My only problem is that it is 3x over the budget. My fiancée said that he was okay with it as he wants me to look and feel beautiful on our wedding day.
How much did you spend on yours?

My budget is strictly $600. I can’t imagine spending more than that on a dress that I’ll wear once.

I spent $1,050. That was the total price after tax and all that. I was really pleased with the price overall!

My budget was ideally less than $1000 CAN but my Fiance said to go up to $1500. My dress was around $700 from Etsy (including tax, shipping and customs charges). Can we see pics of yours? 🙂

My budget was $1000. I spent $700.
I would not spend over my budget on a dress.

My budget was $300, I spent $250. It seemed wasteful to me to spend more on a dress I would wear once.

Yikes, comparing PPs I guess I spent a lot on mine… My dress was $2800.. With tax and alterations I paid $3400 and change…I thought I would sell it after to get some of the money back but I just can’t bring myself to do it 😁

- Wedding: April 2018 - Our Backyard
I spent $76.31! But mine is not a “wedding dress” 1) it’s my 2nd marriage, 2) it will be a small, backyard wedding, 3) I didn’t want a wedding dress. 🙂

Dress was $1,300. I also bought extra matching lace for $200 (which I didn’t even end up using so that’s annoying) and alterations were $500. So with all that – $2,000. Budget was originally $1,500 but I didn’t allow enough for alterations!

My budget was 4.5k and I ended up spending 3.4k including alterations (which were pricey at 700!!)
