Wedding dress budget?

I went way under budget aha. Hey if you can afford it and you can’t see yourself in anything else then it’s all good

I found a dress that I loved online and made an appointment. Because my stepdad offered to pay for my dress (so generous of him) so I based my budget on that amount. Most people pick a range. Anything over I paid for kinda thing.

I didn’t have a set budget when I went shopping, but I knew I didn’t want to go too overboard. Luckily the dress I fell in love with was only $2500. And my mom graciously paid for it!

I set a budget for my dress, and my dress ended up being a fair amount under budget.

Definitely set a modest budget. You're only going to wear it not even a full day. Think outside the box to save money by getting a bridesmaid dress in white or having it custommade on Etsy or locally if you don't find what you love in the stores.

You only live once...if you love it and you can afford it don’t sweat it!

I didn’t set a budget for the dress. But only spent $1k. Unlike most brides, the dress was not at the very top of my wedding list because I knew I’d look beautiful regardless. I found the perfect dress for my taste and the style of the wedding (never went dress shopping, found it online at a bridal salon in another state, bought it, had it shipped, it fit perfectly and that was that). Lol

I didn’t know how much dresses cost. I wanted to spend around $500. I bought my dress for just under $800 and then $100 on alterations. It was more than I wanted to spend but I wanted a nice dress. $7400 is more than half my entire wedding budget! I couldn’t imagine spending that much on a dress. Like i think it would literally make me sick, $800 was even hard for me to stomach. But, if you can afford it and it’s in your budget don’t worry about it

My budget was $500.00 I got mine for $200.00

Budget was originally $1000 then I brought it down to $500 after I did my online searches. I was fortunate enough to receive a donated dress less than a year old in the style (off shoulder mermaid with a long train) I wanted. I did buy another dress for $75 from Poshmark for a possible elopement style photoshoot.

My budget was about $1200, was willing to spend more if I found something I loved. I ended up spending just over $1000.

My original budget was $1,500 and I ended up spending $1,200. There was a $3k dress I was seriously considering buying but I wanted to hold off cause I knew there were other parts of the wedding that either of us might have wanted to splurge on later. That splurge might end up being transportation.

I didnt want to spend more than $800 .. one company quoted me $1,260 for the custom made dress, the second quoted me $650 plus shipping so i paid $680 so far! Not bad at all!! I went with the second company

I did set up a budget of $3,000 but I ended up paying $2,000, anyways I have to add my hairpiece, veil and accessories hahahah and that’s extra. If you can afford it and is the dress of your dreams IT IS OKAY 👰🏼💕

I set a budget for about $500 but I ended up spending $150 over budget. I love my dress and I was willing to go over my budget a little

I budgeted $1500 for my dress and got it for $300. After alterations, it’ll still have me under half my original budget (which is great as I may be getting a second dress for Plan C, if we have to go that route).

I was well over my budget so don’t feel bad lol 😂

I didn’t set a budget but I waited for this wedding for 23 years after we eloped, so... yeah. I love it, I got it. I think it was $2400 plus $800 alteration in total.

I went over budget. I wanted to only spend $250 and got a $500 dress. This didn’t include alterations!

I have 2 dresses and both of them with alterations came to $3,000. My mom paid for my reception dress which was about $800, and I paid everything else. I didn't have a budget, I just knew what I wanted.
