Mine was originally $499.00 but Alfred Angelo had a sale for $100 off the price so it ended up being $399.00 (plus tax)

The reception dress was $400 and the ceremony dress which is amazing was about $2400 us. My mum was determined to shop with me for the ceremony dress and being in Dubai western style dresses arent cheap she needed to have that mother daughter moment and it was a very expensive one lol

Around 100 Euros (= 140 US$). I'm making my own dress, so it will only be costing me fabric and sewing material. I had a 1000 Euro budget, but couldn't find anything remotely close to what I had in mind.

When I tried on dresses in Aug., and I fell in love with the dress, i twas priced at $665, however seeing I don't want to order and get the finial dress until late 2010 This price may be cheaper (I hope) or it could go up which I don't want to see that happen.. thats ify for me already considering I don't even own a dress, I have about 2 skirts, and I never wear them... so spending more then like $20 bucks ROFlol... is a bit much for me.. but I will suck it up when it comes to my dress, if I can I would love to get it at 200-300 if not even below that-- I'm so going cheap on veil and under garments...

$700 for the dress (totally worth it); $300 for alterations (worth it for quality work and professionalism); $32 crystal flower hairpins (great deal for what I got); $70 veil with lots of beading 2 tier (no regrets).... I didn't mind spending that much for what I got. If I had to do it over, I would not have bought a reception dress.
