Show me your wedding dresses, and tell me where they are from,and the cost? :)

Got mine for $250. I cannot imagine spending so much on a dress you will wear once. Think off all the other good deeds you could do with that money. Yikes.

I had looked around online and fell in love with the gunne sax dresses. Then one day I was in my tiny hometown at one of the antique stores and just happened upon it! Not only does it fit me like a glove but at the price of $65, I took it home with me.

I went to David's bridal after falling in love with the dress online. Well the one I loved online was the first one I tried on and knew it was "the one". My dress is ivory and I honestly didn't even know it wasn't white until someone said so. I think it goes better with my skin tone because I'm pretty fair skinned. The dress was on sale for $400 or $450.

I am on a super budget so I went the pre-owned route. Paid $300 for my Maggie Sottero Rhianna Royale. The only thing I need done is a bustle added!

Here is mine! I bought it at a small boutique in Ottawa, ON called McCaffrey's (recently closed ), however I am getting rid of the black sash as pictured and turning the back into a corset (with black ribbon), I am also getting rid of the train. I do apologize I do not have pictures of the back.

Edited to add: I paid $1,100 (sample sale), and alterations will cost $500.

Maggie Sottero Ascher. Bought her as a sample for $700

@Erin, your dress is gorgeous and what an amazing price you got it at.

Mines from AA. I paid about $1050 on sale before alterations. It's an ivory/gold color.

Amanda P., that's the dress I wanted to try!!! I hope you share a pic when it comes in. Did u get the straps? I love the neckline with it.

@Nattie, mine was a Sofia Tolli from Eva's Bridal Oak Lawn too. Don't worry. They were AMAZING!!! Totally get your alterations done there. Worth every penny. The seamstress (cannot remember her name to save my soul) is a miracle worker. I had a side swept train and had no clue how she was going to pull off a bustle but she was able to do a 10 point work of art all included in the $350 flat fee. You are in GREAT hands. Can't wait to see you in your dress! I'm on mobile but I'll try to post a picture of mine. It was the Joan.

@PK, you asked what everyone else was thinking. My daughter is starting college next year and we are trying to figure out career paths for her. Thought we just found a good one. And @Lossen, before you get all offended, or more offended, the people on this board are largely no stranger to death and tragedy, including my own daughter who lost her father last year. So we do empathize. But read back through the posts on here, you have to admit, without benefit of the backstory, your price tag stood out a tiny bit.

Oh, my gosh, your bridal gowns are all so beautiuful! I am expecting my dress. Thank you all for sharing your amazing dress with me.

Mine is Ti Adora 7407! It was $2,000 originally, but we got a 20% discount since the store is owned by the same people who FH bought my ring from. So we got the sash, veil, and dress for like $2,100 total.

Also these pics are from when I was all pinned up for alterations, hence why the dress looks a little weird and I look like I'm being stabbed. Because I was.

I got mine at bridal by viper in birch run mi (do not recommend ) and it was $750.

Nursetraveler87 I loved that dress! Put it on and my mind kept going back to it, but then I found mine and all thoughts of any other dress were over lol. I still really Iove yours too though. Here's mine it's Moonlight bridal, ivory lace over taupe $1,050

Nursetraveler87 - I wanted to try that dress on but couldnt find it!

I got my dress at Wolsfelts Bridal in Aurora, IL. Its Allure 9110 and was about $1,600 with the same day purchase discount. It was more than I wanted to spend, but I fell in love!

@kim0423 I am also on a Super budget and do not want to spend a fortune on a dress I will wear once, I would like to go the pre-owned route. Did you find a store that had pre-owned, not really sure how to venture into even begin looking.(wedding is next August 2018)
