How much was your dress?

I had given myself a budget of $1,500, FH said that was too low. He told our daughter what the budget really was, I didnt know he had increased it. After all it's done, I'm about $200 over... but, absolutely love!!!

My budget was $1,000, but the dress I bought was $1,200ish plus $300 for the belt I purchased to be made into straps as I didn't want a strapless dress. Factor in alterations in a few months, I believe I'll have about doubled my budget! Oops, but I love my dress.

I set my budget between 2,000-3,000 and I got a $4,500 half off with extra buttons to have added down the back.

My dress was $1970 (no tax). My parents helped to pay for a huge portion of it.

Our set budget for the dress was 2k so luckily the dress I fell in love with was within that.

We had a budget of $1500-$2000. And this baby was $1550! I did pay another $50 for them to take off the bottom lace. That way, it would be cheaper for whoever does my alterations to hem the dress and add the lace back on. I paid $75 for them to ship a different dress in for me to try on but I didn't love it as much.

$1650. $500 for alterations.

Fell in love with a dress within my budget of $1,500. The dress is $1,300. Accessories & alterations are a different portion of my budget.

$1100, and $20 for alterations. It was definitely more than I wanted to spend. I was really shooting for $500 and under...but of course the consultant brought over an all lace, sheath gown for double that and I ended up loving it and I thought it was more flattering and "me" than anything else I tried on.

My Dress was 1200 and I used money I had saved up from savings bond I was gifted as a child that had matured. Since it was separate money from our actually budget I had no issue with it.

Wow some you got such great deals I feel bad that I paid so much for mine. I was willing to splurge a bit and ended up buying the Pronovias Vicenta gown for $4K, before alterations, taxes, etc.

Mine was 1400 but AA was closing and I got it for $520

You shouldn't feel bad about splurging. It's all about what makes you feel amazing. I'm sure you'll look fantastic walking down the aisle.

$860 on sale. Originally $1800

I think I did really well for the tight budget my mom gave me! I don't have any good pics yet (I'm doing a SYTTD post in a few weeks when it comes in!), but my mom bought it for $600, that included the ribbon we're replacing the corset strings with. I'm so excited to wear it!

Mine was $3,000 plus $150 for the straps. My budget was $5,000 so I am happy and surprised I actually was able to stay under it. I was a bit surprised at how expensive alterations were, but still kept me decently under budget!

$1700 not including alterations. Allure Couture originally $3500. Sample sale. I'm very happy with the price because there's a lot of beadwork that I know is expensive.

Mine was a little over $1300, and I felt bad that my mom paid because I'm still working minimum wage. Jobs in Western NY suck...

$2700 with veil and alterations. My head piece is an extra $320 And the belt around $150

My thought when I went to buy my dress was to get the dress that made me the happiest. Thus, at the end of the day I did just that and paid whatever the cost.
