| $200 at Filene's Basement plus $175 for alterations |
| I got 5 different wedding dresses. Spent about $10k total. Still have them all except 1 (gave to friend who wore for her wedding) 10 years later. Only two of them were ivory, two were blue and one was turquoise. |
|
Dress was about 3k.
Total wedding was probably about 30k in 2010 in a medium-low COL area. Dress: http://photos.theknot.com.au/content/photos/000/031/813/image0s/original_manuel-mota-for-pronovias-silencio.jpg |
| It was 2003 and I spent $1500 on a Ramona Keveza dress with an origami Watteau train. It was lovely. Even though my parents paid for everything I couldn't stomach spending $5k on a peter Wagner Italian gown. |
| We got married 15 years ago but my dress was $550. Wedding budget was 10k. |
|
Wedding was in 1993. Dress was a $300 floor sample from a previous season. Tag was gone but I was told it was a Demetrios.
When Katie Holmes married Tom Cruise (2005 I think?), I was surprised to see how similar her dress was to mine, minus the gobs of tulle sticking out from the neckline. No idea of wedding budget but I'm now a believer in skipping the big shindig! |

$150
Budget was around $20,000 No link but it was a "special occasion" dress from David's bridal. It was ivory, empire waste, beaded toga strap. Had bra pads sewn in and wore nothing under it but underwear. Best decision. |
|
$2,000 It was a Lila Broude (I think)
Looked a lot like this: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/8a/02/e3/8a02e3fbd4fa834a07f2332ef425eab7.jpg |
