Gown and tiara were 860 - still need veil. Won't need alterations on the gown. Purchased at Renate's in Lindenhurst. HTH!

Re: How much did you spend on your wedding gowns???

Mine was $2500 and I got 10% off at Priscilla of Boston because I bought during a trunk show. That doesn't include alterations, which will probably be around $400 for me because they are making a huge sash and bow for me.

Re: How much did you spend on your wedding gowns???

My parents bought my dress for me and I loved it as soon as I saw it. It was a Stephen Yearick and the dress was $4500 and then after tax and alterations it jumped to alittle over 6k. It is alot of money, but I loved my dress and wouldn't change a thing.
