Just saw a thread on whether to sell a wedding dress. I thought it might be fun to see how much people spent on their dresses. I married nearly 28 years ago, a shotgun wedding so to speak. My wedding was put together fast and my dress was somewhere around 200 dollars.

    My wife's was around $200 and beautiful too! We even took it on the cruise for one of the formal nights. It was awesome! The whole wedding was around $5000, we did GOOD considering we had around 150 people.

    Mine was reduced from £600 to £300. It was beautiful, I didn't buy it just because it was cheaper, I just happened to love the reduced end of the line dress :)

    My dress was priced around $250. Once allerations, shoes, vail and jewlery were added in, it rang up the total to about $350.

    Mine was $250, and I actually got it brand new off ebay. After being bombarded with a crazy sales lady at Davids Bridal, I wasn't too excited about dress shopping anymore.

    Mine was custom made for me by a former Project Runway contestant and it cost an arm and a leg.

    But it was gorgeous. :happy:

    Wow I thought mine was fairly inexpensive it was $700 15 years ago.....I had really liked a very similar one but it was $1300 and I didn't want my parents to have to pay that much so I was pretty happy when I found it for $700....I don't want to say how much the wedding actually cost...but my parents took out a big loan.

    Well I feel kinda dumb lol. I bought a Vera Wang Grecian style gown for $642 dollars. I am getting married next year. It was the only thing close to what I wanted though. But I will actually wear it again as it can easily be worn as something other than a wedding dress, I would wear this thing around the house lol

    here is the link, it's the top one. Don't quite know why she appears that tall though lol

    Never been married, but my best friend has been twice (and working on the second divorce). She spent $750 on her first dress and less than $200 on the second.

    I don't remember the exact price, but I wanna say around $80 or so. Sheplers.com. LOL Small wedding, and I didn't care about being a princess. Just wanted to get married as cheap as possible. :) Plus, I was broke.

    I paid $500 for my dress and around another $200 for my veil and tiara and I thought my dress was beautiful! We only spent about $5000 total on our wedding and this was 6 and 1/2 years ago

    I had such a small wedding, got married at city hall. I think my dress (which was not a wedding dress) was about $175.00. Our son was 4 at the time, he walked the rings down which was nice, we were saving for a down payment for our house which was a bigger priority to us.
