View Quoted Comment Well I do feel guilty about it, but he insisted and it's a beautiful gift. And I'm wearing it more than one day, so that's good too

View Quoted Comment I love this dress on you! It looks like it was made for you!

I would have loved to spend that much on my dress but that is my wedding budget as well. But the dress i purchased brought happy tears to my eyes. I also got it for $600 not including alterations.

Mine was technically free. I was obsessed with a dress from Lulu’s. It kept going lower and lower on clearance until it was $30!! I ordered some work clothes and they had $30 off if you spent $150, so I ordered the dress before we were even engaged and figured I could always donate it if it wasn’t used, because it was ‘free’. It actually fits like a glove and no alterations are needed.

Mine was 850

Your dress is very beautiful and unique! My dress was a sample, originally around $1,800 and we got it for $600. Alterations (straps added, length, etc.) put the dress around $1,000. My second dress was $800. My veil was around $150, and the flower crown for the second outfit was around $150 as well. So I guess, all in all, the total of my dresses were $2,100.

You are very blessed to have received such a gift! That is amazing!

Ooh yeah, I love that. Is that the one you ended up going with?

And thanks, I really do love my dress and think it's special

Not the dress I ended up with but this was a close 2nd. It was a Carolina Herrera that ended up being $5000 on sale.

OMG WERE YOU AT THE COLLECTION BRIDAL IN WINTER PARK FLORIDA???

I went dress shopping there, and got a dress there the first time I was engaged (and living in orlando). Shaina was my bridal goddess and she was the greatest. Which dress did you end up going with?

View Quoted Comment I was!! That dress started me on a whole other path of what I thought I wanted. I had a ball gown Vera Wang picked out and I ended up with a trumpet lace off shoulder gown.

I tried on a dress that was $8,000. Loved it but obviously couldn't justify the price. Pics below! It was a little tight.

View Quoted Comment How cool!!! I went dress shopping there too. Haven’t said yes to dress yet though. Where is your venue ?

My absolute favorite dress designer Atelier Aimee has price points like that! They’re works of art.
The biggest thing I wanted for my dress was I wanted an all silk fabric so it could be dyed easily after the wedding. My dress retails $4000 so still pretty low in range for luxury gowns and it doesn’t have gems or anything but it’s a ballgown in all silk tulle and and lace with such beautiful movement! My FH paid $1100 for the damaged sample and my seamstress fixed it up. I would’ve have been able to afford it brand new so I’m very happy I got my dress.

View Quoted Comment Don’t let anyone make you feel bad about it. Everyone’s day is different in their own special way! I think if any of us were given the cash to wear a $10,000 wedding gown I think we all would... at least I would! Most people will give you a hard time spending that much money on a dress because they couldn’t and it makes them feel better to say “oh I would never”. Yes they would, they just couldn’t. Let yourself be happy!!
