    I have not found a dress yet. My date is in February. I do not want to spend alot of money. I gave myself a budget of $500.00. Looking at different gowns, I know what I do not want the dress to look like/ have. I really just want to be comfortable and cute. I was even thinking about getting a jumpsuit. Im not that much into dresses and I want to be able to dance the night away!

    Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

    I went to a few boutiques and fell in love with a dress that was about $1600 before alterations (yikes) - I found a VERY similar one online at David's Bridal, went in and tried it on, and bought it the same day!

    I spent $599 on a dress that was on sale/off the rack (in my size, yay!) - it's absolutely gorgeous, huge tulle skirt with beading all over the bodice and off the shoulder cap sleeves. It ended up being $661 after tax, but they gave me $20 off my bridesmaid's dress so that was a plus!

    Alterations are estimated to be $275-375, but haven't nailed that down yet. It's about what I expected honestly!

    There are lots of ways to save money on the dress, but there's a way to find something that strikes the balance of in-your-budget and also makes you feel your best and like a bride! Best of luck to you, you will look stunning and beautiful no matter what Smiley heart

    I haven’t purchased a dress yet. But I’m hoping to keep it under $800 with alternations. I have found a few at David’s Bridal & online at Azazie I really like that range $300-$600.

    I scored mine for $100 at a BHLDN sample sale! Original price was $1200, no damage or stains and just needs to be hemmed!

    I spent right at $1,000 but that was for dress, necklace, bracelet, earrings, and veil. I went ahead and purchased everything I was wearing with I had that "this is the one" moment. As far as my actual dress I got it on sale for $599 at David's Bridal.

    My budget was a $1,000. However, I ended up only spending a little more than half that for the dress, alterations, and taxes!

    My budget was $2000 as well and bought the dress for $1400. Still waiting for it to come in but I was told alterations will be less than $500 since the sample fit me so well and it barely needs to be hemmed. Veil I'll get from Etsy, so I should still be under budget, all in.

    Before alterations, $1258 from Davids Bridal. I'm not exactly sure how much alterations will be, but I'll anticipate around $300-$500.

    David's Bridal and $525 including taxes.

    Alterations will probably be $400 but I'm saving in advance for those.

    They’re gorgeous! Here is mine! Also, pay attention to the Boutiques wedding wire page. Mine had a coupon that basically covered the cost of the veil!
