10k Dress? What's it look like?

We see it all the time on TV. Has anyone (other than me) spent 10k+ on a wedding dress?

Has anyone (other than me) spent 10k+ on a wedding dress? It never would have happened if my Stepdad hadn't surprised me, (he insisted that it would be for my dream dress only, no other allocation allowed, and insisted on facetiming when I went shopping in nyc) so I'm incredibly lucky but, has anyone spent even close to that amount??


I've been surprised on WW so far at how so many women on here have gotten beautiful dresses at such amazing prices!

Do you (or someone you know) have a dress that's close to or exceeds that amount? If so, can you post a pic? Is it just the complexity/quality of the fabric? Is it brand recognition?

I'll reveal my numbers and pics if anyone else does. I'm kind of embarrassed/feeling guilty.

    I always dreamed of a Vera wang dress, and it costs around that price. Instead I end up with a dress from Pronovias, it’s really beautiful, original price it’s $2,600
    the amazing thing I paid only $700 plus alterations 🥰🥰🥰
    your stepdad it’s right it’s only once and it’s your day, you are a princess that day, if he wants to do that for you it’s most beautiful detail ever. Please send pictures 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

    I think pricing always depends on quality of fabric, hand-sewn beading/lace, and brand name. I love all of the dresses in this thread, the cheaper ones still look expensive...

    I didn’t spend near $10k on my dress, but I did end up spending a little more than I wanted to (once accessories and alterations were added in). Overall it’s your day and I think it’s important to wear something that you feel comfortable and confident in.

    Wow, no I didn't spend nearly that much. I think our whole wedding and honeymoon will be under $1,500. We are having a DW, for just the 2 of us. I love my dress, and the price. It cost less than $50. Here it is, but that is definitely not me!!!

    I didn't spend anywhere near that much (just over $300 for mine) but if I had the money I would totally have gone all out on a princess style ballgown type dress with dreamy soft cascading tulle, lace and pearls🤤🤤🤤

    Mine was $1,500 Oleg Cassini. I have a cathedral veil from amazon though. My train is chapel length. It was cathedral but I had it cut down.

    I could never justify spending that on a dress to be 100% honest, especially since I only will wear it once. I struggled quite a bit to spend $1900 on mine and that included import fees and shipping costs (from Italy) and taxes.

    Our entire wedding, flights, hotels and the week in Vegas was less than 10k so I can't imagine getting a dress for that much.

    That being said if someone stepped up and was like you can have your dream dress even if it costs 10k I sure as heck would have tried on more dresses. I loved my dress but only looked at ones under 1k and mine cost $499.

    If I had 10k to spend I'd get 2 dresses. The first one for the ceremony and 2nd one for the reception.

    That’s is a budget for a dress I can only dream of! So generous of him to pay for it. I had a budget (pre alterations) of 3k and came in at about 2700. I always wanted to have a 5k budget but when I sat down and saw the price of everything else I just couldn’t afford to allot that much for the dress. I probably could have spent less and found something beautiful but I absolutely love my dress. It’s a Martina Liana
