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

I'm really hoping to stay under 2,000..it's a gift from my parents but i don't want to go overboard. does anyone know how much jim hjelm and enzoani dresses are going for? Also, how do you find out about these trunk shows? Do they only have limited sizes at these events? sorry..I'm just lost with this stuff!

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

I am proud to say that my dress cost around $800 and my alterations are $350. I would never have been able to justify spending much more than that. JMO n thankfully I found a dress I love!

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

I got a sick deal on my dress, i think it was $680 for my MAggie sottero. With alterations, it will total around $825.
Could not ask for a better deal, or a dress I love more!!!

I bought it a bridal salon in Florida.

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

Mine is a Gail Garrison, and I got it from Bridal Couture of Manhassett. It came up to $3800 after they took 10% off. It's a lot of mine but I love it and I couldn't be more happy.

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

My dress was my grandmas. I think she told my mom awhile ago it was expensive- like $100 in the 1940's. LOL. I spent like $250 on having it updated.

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

I dont even want to say what I spent bc it was a lot and I still can't believe I did lol...What I will say is this...if you have an amount you MUST stick to...DO NOT try on dresses outside your price bc once you try it on you will want it. Have fun looking

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

$1600 for Mine - I had aimed for $1500 to $2000.
You can find anything you want from $800 to $8000 - you just have to set a frame of mind that this is what I want to spend and stay within reason. As much as I love the "dress" I keep in mind its a one time dress for a few hours and I dont wanna go over the limit
