Where did YOU get your wedding dress?

Heyman09

With my first wedding I got it from a small boutique in town and it was about $200 my second....well I didn't wear one because I got married by the JP so I just had on a maternity outfit.

I got mine in a local store where I was living at the time. It was about $500, not including alterations, veil, slip, and jewelry.

I made my own. It cost around $500. The same dress would have been about $3000 in a boutique

well 17 years ago got mine at JcPenney outlet I want to say it was about 100. Lots of beads and lace still very pretty, but I mainly picked it for not needing to be altered at 5'2'' that means something

Mine was a pretty pale pink with grey pinstripes that I bought at Dillard's for maybe $50.00 twenty-nine years ago. It was a low-key affair, and I wanted something I could wear again.

Got mine a year and a half ago from a local bridal shop. After all our lovely Canadian taxes, it cost me just over $1100. I love my dress, and wore it on our anniversary a few weeks ago, lol.

oh, it is Sofia Tolli, if you'd like to know

I got mine at David's Bridal. I bought it in early February for our May wedding last year. It was about $650. But, that's just for the dress. Not including shoes, accessories, etc. I have a few pics on my profile if you want to add me. I don't know how to upload them here. If not, it was a white halter dress with a big skirt and pick ups that went all the way around. It was really nice, but kind of heavy.

I bought my dress from Goodwill for $60 it still had the tags and everything - never worn - it was a David's Bridal gown that retailed for over $800. I had it tailored (just the hem) which cost $40, and dry-cleaned for $100. My veil I got at Micheal's Craft Store for $15, and I added it to a sparkly little tiara shaped comb which I got at Walmart for like $10. My shoes were also from Goodwill - they matched the bead work on my gown perfectly, and only cost $6. I had a family friend make my jewelry - I bought all of the beads for the set for about $10. We had a fairly inexpensive wedding, but it was beautiful! Good luck finding your perfect gown!

Mine was a Maggie Sotero. I originally was going to get it at a bridal salon but when my hubby didn't feel like waiting a year for the wedding , I turned to the internet and called several authorized sellers. I hit the lottery with a bridal place in MN !!
I knew the size I needed because I already tried it.
Only reason they had it was because they took the time to call manufacturer n check for size and style. I had my dress fedex to me 2months aafter I ordered and it came with certificate of authenticity.
Now the price:
Local Bridal Place: 1400+400 alterations
Place in MN: 700 and I spent 200 in alterations. That is some mark up the bridal place had.
At the time I lived in NYC but I also checked with a salon in the state I was getting married at and the price was 1300.

I got mine from Alfred Angelo (kinda like David's Bridal). It was about $600. I had no intention of buying a dress. We were supposed to have a tiny casual wedding and I *was* planning on wearing "fancy pants" (nice jeans). My friends made me go shopping and after trying on a few and getting really annoyed with shopping (I hate hate hate shopping), I saw this dress and it was like a light went off in my head. I tried it on and it was beautiful but about 1 size too big and they wouldn't be able to get it in on time for my wedding. I was gonna buy it anyways cause it still looked nice until the saleslady thought about the floor display. I tried on that one and it was perfect! Took it and my veil ($25) home that night. I've actually worn it 2 times other than my wedding and if I could put it on by myself I'd probably be wearing it right now. :laugh:

I travelled from Ireland to New york to get my wedding dress, it was out in store over here. So I paid $2200 for the dress, £350 for alterations and £1050 for the flight. It was worth every penny. I also did some shopping on rodeo drive, pretty woman eat your heart out lol

I actually rented my dress and I am sooo glad that I did. It was a name brand, and absolutely gorgeous dress that would otherwise just be sitting in my closet collecting dust. I paid $100.00 for the rental.
