Attire - Splurge or Save?

We are saving here

I splurged here but didn’t intend to. I let my party each pick out a dress at one shop for me to try on although I had been eyeing a dress elsewhere that I was set on. Well the one that brought the entire boutique to tears- especially me- turned out to be waaaay over budget.

Unexpectedly Saved! And I was so Grateful. The gown was on sale and I visited the site while at another bridal shop choosing bridesmaid dresses and it was even half of what I actually paid. DB was gracious enough to price match.

I have to say that I splurged on my dress I feel in love and had to have it

Save, My grandma is paying for my dress which I wasn't expecting so all we're paying for is FH suit and accessories for both.

We definitely saved on this! Wedding dress is around $1000 and FH's suit will be pretty cheap

Splurged on my dress, but my parents are generously paying for that, so its not part of my budget. Haven't picked out guys attire yet, but bridesmaid dress were from azazie and reasonably priced.

Save, I am too cheap to spend thousands/ hundreds of dollars on a dress I will wear once. I actually have 2 dresses and I paid less than $200 for both of them. We had to save money to purchase the children's attire.

Splurge!! I am only getting married once and I want FH and I to both feel beautiful and confident that day. I am getting the dress (possibly 2 dresses) of my dream, and will have a suit made for FH

Splurge for what others would be a save, but I did get the exact dress I wanted. Cost $860, still under $900 which was my max (despite hoping to find one at $500 lol)

I was thinking my dress would cost around 2000 but i found one that was 1200 so i saved. Woohoo!!!!

Attire saving where can...found perfect dress after researching and attending many many bridal shows which really helped...I recommend doibg this & pay for the VIP ticket go to the fashion show you learn to be the critic cause your seekibg for yourself...So I discovered my bridal salon tried on 4 dresses and dress #2 was it...I money down to hold it for over a year its NOW been ordered my dress arrives January 2020...next to tackle iscgroom's tux main challenge is really the color...Wedding colors are dark navy & white with a touch of red & silver...groom wants flames which also adds to the challenges...We strongly anticipate. A small group so not much to do for me the planner the organizer etc etc is phone calls in companues are calling me back...so a plusA steal if a deal is my goal for my theme of "simple but elegant"

View Quoted Comment Great Deal...Congratulations

View Quoted Comment Hi Chrysta...I did the same...I bought another dress too...I did it becayse was effected by horror stories of bridal boutiques closing up & brides were scrambling to find dresses...so I have a backup...Not sure your intentiobs for 2 dresses but like share similar actions bought 2 dresses...Congratulations!!!

Splurge. This is what all of your pricey photos will be in. I want to look amazing!

Save, you wear it one day. You still want to feel special but you don’t have to drops pretty penny

We saved. Fiancé is using a suit he already owns and I found my dream dress way under budget!

Splurge for me, hubby is renting. But mom and dad are paying

I saved and I splurged, but I got exactly what I wanted.

Initially, I saved on my wedding dress, but I was not happy with it. So I ended up looking for another one and fell in love with a $2k+ dress. That was hard for me to justify, since the original dress was similar, but with a $400 price tag. I worked the cost of my dress way down from the original price tag, but I still ended up spending $1k more than I thought I would. Totally worth the splurge, because I love my dress and how I feel in it.

For my bridesmaids, I saved. I needed to have these gold satiny dresses and each dress I found was $100+ or more. I finally came upon an Australian company who had a similar dress for $30 USD!

For our groomsmen, we saved! We bought their pants at Walmart for $15 and their shirts from Amazon for $20.

With patience and a lot of research, it is definitely possible to find wedding party attire for cheap!

I think attire is definitely a category where you can save! By all means don't sacrifice your vision or fashionable sense, but it's not always necessary to buy the most expensive thing you can find. There are very beautiful dresses, and all attire, at very reasonable prices. You just have to research and look around! I think it's worth saving on attire.
