Attire - Splurge or Save?

Save. I actually found a dress that was less than half of my budget and the men's attire is simple while my bridesmaids found a dress that they thought was reasonably priced too.

That's brilliant that you found a dress less than what you had budgeted! It's always great to make a saving What is it like?

This is my dress! Except I got a different belt that looks like leaves.

Save. I'm keeping my budget fairly low for attire. I want to look amazing, and I want my groom and our wedding party to look amazing, but I don't want to throw a ton of money at clothing and accessories. It's the least important part of the day to me.

Splurge a LITTLE BIT

Save compared to original price! I fell in love with a Pronovias dress, but I got it from a secondhand bridal gown store! Over 50% off. Spent $700

Definitely saved. My dress is not a traditional wedding dreas and cost $80. The wedding is casual, so my fiance and the froomsmen are wearing dress shirts, ties and slacks. We are providing the matching ties and we plan on buying the flower girl dress and ring bearer's outfit.

What a bargain, Devlin It's stunning! Love the train!

Save. My dress is absolutely perfect and it was $400 below my budget!

Saving. He won't be in a suit, and I don't want to spend too much on an outfit I wouldn't wear twice. Hopefully the fact that we are having a casual attire wedding will help in this regard.

Um, no. This was a save thing too. I Was willing to spend a bit more, but found a dress I absolutely loved for the same price as the trekking poles I returned the same day. It really was just a little love note from God, saying “My beautiful daughter, I’ve got this.”

I splurged on my bouquet and spent very little on my attire. The only prop and thing with any color was the bouquet. I eloped, so the bouquet was more important to the photos.

Saving! I didn't even buy a wedding gown.

Bride & groom attire was about 10% of our budget ($1k each for clothing, accessories, and alterations), so I guess I'd say "save".

Kind of both I guess?

We're using Menguin to rent the men's suits and they have a promo wear the groom's rental is free if 5 guys rent from Menguin. So that saves us around $200 on his suit!

I'm planning on purchasing my wedding dress myself, and this is our splurge portion. I'm wanting to keep my dress under $1k (which is still expensive for us). As far as attire goes, my dress will def. be the most expensive item!

Saving by wearing what we already have, with 2 exceptions: My tulle skirt and his tuxedo t-shirt. 👕
