    I was dumb. My dress was like 1200.

    My husband and I were paying for everything ourselves and his sister was trying to tell me that I couldn't find a "good" dress for less than 2000, and I set my budget way too high.. NOW what will I ever do with that thing? I'll never wear it again... Silly.

    I did budget shop for everything else, and didn't break the bank on the wedding...

    I'm getting married in October of this year and my dress was about $1100, not including the veil. It's so ridculous when I watch shows like "Say Yes to the Dress" and these brides have budgets of $5000-$10,000 just for the dress. And frankly, some times, those extra thousands of dollars don't make the dress look any prettier or more elegant than one 3 times cheaper!

    My dress was $1800, but I got it for $1200 by paying with cash. I negotiated EVERYTHING for our wedding. We didn't pay full price for a single thing. :)

    $450 at David's after trying on what felt like a million different dresses. And it was the first one I tried on... LOL!

    Now it's too big. YEAH!

    For my dress, alterations to the dress, undergarments, shoes, two veils, jewelery, and tiara I paid about $23,000. I loved all of my wedding accessories. Too bad the marriage ended in divorce. But I still have everything I wore that day!

    I made my own wedding dress. I copied the design off a dress I saw in Brides Magazine and made my own pattern. Bought the material, lace and everything else I needed in the garment district of Philadelphia. I think it cost about $50 in 1970. I still have it. I wish it still fit.
