What amount did you spend on your wedding dress? (You don't have to answer)

I'm a budget bride and was curious as to what other brides spent on their dress. I'm hoping to find something under $1200.00.

    I had to double my budget when I found "the one". Mine is an Allure Couture and it was $2200. It is worth every penny! I haven't done alterations yet. I looked at Mori Lee gowns and they were around $1500.

    Where do you all live?? I paid $800 for my dress in 1987. My daughter is in the process of looking and anything under $3000 looks like a rag. I'm in Chicago

    Well, I have two-wearing both...but the first one cost $2000. It was a sample Watters dress so it was originally $3600. Then I got a second dress that is a Theia dress for $1200. My budget was between $2000 and $2500 because I figured finding the perfect blush dress was going to cost a lite more. (So not the traditional bride) I'm excited to wear them! Smiley smile I'm sure you can find something within your budget that will beautiful!! Smiley smile

    Mine was $1600 Justin Alexander but it was the most expensive one I tried on and I loved the other ones too! You'll definitely be fine at that budget.

    I spent just over $1,100 including tax. I went to a small, locally owned boutique that was offering 10% off if you booked a weekday appointment that month. Because of the fit of my dress, I won't need any special undergarments, but I am expecting to spend a few hundred dollars on alterations.

    Just bought my dress yesterday and was able to find a sample Mori Lee dress for $800. Maggie Sottero and BHLDN also have very affordable and gorgeous dresses.
