How much did you spend on your dress?

I bought a Maggie Sottero sample and haggled the lady down to $1,000.00 with free alterations.

Double post

1690 plus alterations. It was my biggest splurge.

Dress

Slip

Bra

Jacket

Alterations

Jewelry

$700ish

2070 plus 325 flat fee for alterations.

My budget was $1000, but if i absolutely fell in love with one, that was negotiable. DH always said that he didn't care how much my dress was as long as I loved it.

In the end my dress was $1250 with veil ($400) and jacket ($30 - made it myself). After making my jacket, i would have gladly paid the $200 they wanted for it. I realized it was cheap considering all the time I put into it, lol.

Dress was $400

Alterations $180

Bra $40

Veil was a gift ($0)

Shoes $70

Jewelry was my "something old"

506 with the veil prior to alterations.

My dress was $850. I haven't done alterations yet so I'm not sure how much it will be total.

Mine with alterations came to $1055. So, our cost was about the same. I think that cost was about average with my friends. I had not expected to pay that much, but I had a list of things I HAD to have (ex. corset) and I wanted a particular designer. But after watching SYTTD, it seems very inexpensive.

Dress $1100

Straps $200

Alterations- don't know yet. The designer will get my measurements and make the dress to fit me. Most likely it'll be for the bustle and the sleeves that I get alterations done.

Bra-dunno

Veil-godmother making

Shoes-mom is surprising me

Jewelry- no clue.lol

Hair clip - $45-50 I think.

Dress $1350 (Which my dad paid. He felt bad not being able to pay at all for the wedding, so he said he'd at least pay for my gown. I'm so thankful for it!)

Slip $100

Veil $260

Alterations $350

Bra $60

Shoes $30 (DSW Sale!!)

Pearls & earrings $70

I never wrote it all out before.. that sure is a lot of money on my person at one time!

Dress and veil were purchased together and were $851 out the door taxes included from David’s bridal.

Alterations were $170

Total cost of dress and veil everything included = $1021

Wow that’s the first time I’ve tallied it up together, didn’t realize I was past the 1k mark!

Edit: I bought bra cup inserts on Ebay and had the seamstress sew them in – I think they were like $10?

Shoes: $113 (cowgirl boots)

Jewelry: $130

About $400 including slip. No alterations were necessary.

$1530 plus alterations. Splurged for beauty.

I plan on Estying my headpiece for savings.

My dress budget was $1000. I was sooo disappointed with myself that I went over. With tax it was $1272.39 (before tax it was $1189). Still pretty good considering the dress was supposed to cost $1399 before tax. I bought the sample.

No veil. Haven't done alterations yet. Bought a hair piece for $37 on etsy. FH insisted on buying my shoes. With the dyeing and everything I think they ended up being $141.

My dress was $649 plus tax. Bra/Corset was $80. And I haven't had alterations done yet, but I am setting aside $200 for that. All of this is from David's Bridal.

$1499 for the dress only. Haven't gotten fitted to see if I need alterations etc. Haven't shopped for a veil and accessories yet.

Dress- 750 on sale

veil- 189

sparkle hair comb- 30

bra- 60

pettycoat- 60

Alterations start in February. Right now it only needs a bustle, but who knows by then.
