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.[/QUOTE

We have the same dress!

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

My dress is Melissa Sweet. Got it at POB during an event for 10% off came to 3500 but I got a brooch to go with it so that brought it to 3600 without alterations. I also got a pair of Miu Miu shoes for 960 so that brings me to 4560. I haven't bought my veil but it will porbably bring me to a total budget of $5000

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

awww man....don't tell me I spent the most out of everyone that replied...makes me feel like I should have shopped around more to see if i could find a better price...

I bought mine at bridal reflections in carle place for 5995 for dress+500 to add 12" more to the train (sp?) +150 for straps which have beading to match the dress +tax = $7227

...and that doesnt include the alterations

I did really love the dress (Its amelia carrera style A7, but honestly it looks a lot better in person) though, and I thought (not being conceited or anything) that the dress look amazing on me.

I actually contemplated buying the priscilla of boston dress style PL104 which was also gorgeous and I thought that nothing would be or look better...but to my surprise the other dress suited me more. That dress would have come out to like $8,250 without alterations.

I feel your pain, I too fell in love with Amalia Carrara, I ordered the A1. To me, it's worth every penny.

I spent a lot more than I wanted too. Over 4K for just the dress without any accessories or alterations.

I spent $820 at RK Bridal. I haven't had alterations done yet, and am NOT getting them done there, I've heard horror stories. The veil I priced was $165, also there.
