    I spent 712 dollars (includes taxes). Its a tea length dress and I got it from a bridal salon in Syracuse, NY.

    Should only be about 75 in alterations since I am only adding some beading to it, it fits well as long as I dont gain anything 😂😂

    I spent $1,800 for the gown and belt. Before the alterations that it will need.
    One good thing about David's Bridal is that All Bridal gowns are $2,000 or less!

    $2,500 was my budget, but after taxes mine came out to nine hundred something! Only alteration was the addition of a bustle. I still haven't decided on the veil I want🙈

    I got a tea length dress at DB for $550 after taxes. I don’t know how much alterations will be. I have my first fitting in 2 weeks. It shouldn’t be bad though-no hem or bustle, just some work to get the bodice yo sit right.

    I gave myself a $2k dress budget before alterations (total budget is $50k), and found a dress I loved off the rack for $1062. I’m going to end up spending about $1000 in alterations because it was about 2 sizes too big but it’s still within budget.

    My dress was $375-450. I'm not sure of the final custom price was as my mom decided to cover it as a gift. I bought my dress from ieie bridal off of their etsy store. I did not need any alterations:

    Paid 1512 + 175 for veil. Definitely more than what I was expecting but I love my dress so it’s worth it to me. I got it at a local boutique near me that I swore I was not finding my dress in 🤦🏾‍♀️

    I ended up spending $2200 on my dress from a local bridal boutique in Knoxville, TN. Original budget was $2K but my FH told me to get my dream dress even if it was a little over budget. I will admit I get a little jealous when I see people paying less than $1K for their dresses. lol

    Just finished alterations on it and that was around $600 due to needing a 17 point bustle because my train is so long and the scalloped lace hem.

    My budget was $2,500.
    My dress ended up being $1,700 (before alterations-- hasn't come in yet!).
    I bought it from a boutique bridal store in my hometown.
    I paid for it myself.

    I gave myself a $1,500 for a dress without alterations. I went over - $1,680 but that included a veil and all the taxes so I consider it a win (dress by itself was $1,300). I bought it at a local mom & pop bridal shop and it's a Maggie Sottero.

    $550 on an off the rack sale at a local bridal shop. My belt was $180. My alterations estimate is $325, but may vary a bit.

    Budget was $1300 including alterations

    I got mine for $600 from David's Bridal. I had looked online before going to my appointment, and my dress ended up being one of the 7-8 styles I'd bookmarked online!
