How much would you spend?...

Well my parents paid £675 for mine, but they said if you love something that much we'll get it....dont think i could bring myself to spend that much though!

But if you love it, get it! xx

Ouch!! well it all depends on budget really and everyone has different amounts that they can afford to lay out. For me personally, my budget really was no more than £600 as we are paying for the entire wedding ourselves and have lots of other things to pay out for.

Ive seen one i like for £1200 but i think that would be my limit- Plus im deffo gonna sell mine afterwards! Recoup some of the money!?

It totally depends on your budget!!

I went dress shopping having in mind i didn't want to spend more than 1k on a dress, i found my dress and was 900, i didn't order it straight away and when i went back it had gone up to 1.1k....i cried in the shop!!!

Mum offered to pay the extra 200 though but had she not i would have paid it......

Well mine was £950 and I thought that was about right tbh.

£2k would be too much for me to spend regardless of how nice it was.

I think everyone has a different budget and a different value of money (and different funds available) so its hard to answer really.

If £2k is doable for you and you love it then why not?

It depends on your budget really

i've given my self £600 - 700

even though MIL2B is giving me £500

towards it, i can't bring myself to spend that

much money on a dress i'll wear once ☹️

i wish i could though.

Hi Ladies

my budget is under £1,000 but it was nice to try on the expencive one!

The one I do love is £449 A Mori Lee Voyage one going for another try with a friend for her advice also as I've been visiting shops alone just for a look and the owners have asked me if I wanted to try and I thought why not!! I've got that bug!!!!!! XXX

I personally wouldnt spend that much but i know a lot of people who have done.

im always money consious tho no matter wat im buyin n always look for the best deal.

but if you love it...theres no turnin bak! go for it x

If money was no object then I would buy whatever one i like the most, regadless of price.

If you love it and can afford it then buy it! If you can then dont. Simples.

My mum told me £1200 was my limit, and i decided with OH b4 going shopping if it cost more we could put the rest 2 it, although not going any higher than £2000 in total. I never looked at 1 price tag, decided on the one i loved said 'i'll take it' much 2 my mums horror as i didnt ask the price!!..........and it was £800!! Good result 4 mum n dad!!

I originally set myself a limit of £1300 (said £1000 to the dress shop) but eventually decided to go preloved to save a bit of money.

I origionally didn't want to spend more that £600. However i didn't tell the shop that thought I'd try them on and see. I fell in love with my dress, and she started the sentence well it was £1300.... however it was reduced to £675 as she was stopping stocking that designer so she was having a clear out. I can stretch an extra £75 so i got my perfect dress at a perfect price...all good.

Mine was 1,500 but i managed to get the shop owner to knock some off and i got it for 1,250. i would of still paid the full amout though as i love my dress so much and knew it was the one! id definately try and haggle ?

Up to a 1000 max

Ive paid £935 for mine., never mind what anyone else says or think, u go for the one that makes u feel the most beautiful, but dont be afraid to shop around for the same dress xx

I'm lucky in a sense as my personal taste in dresses isn't overly fancy. I can appreciate the white or ivory heavily detailed dresses sure, but for me personally it's simple and speaks volumes about me. So my dress cost me £150, and you will see flashes *hopefully* at the weekend!

My dream dress is £1800, its a custom made dress by two well known scottish designers.......im going to see them in april and im so excited! i know its a lot of money for a dress but ive had my heart set on it for years and i figure what the hell, i work hard, i deserve it and i know no other dress will make me feel the way i do about that one.....

I went looking for dresses knowing I loved dresses upto £1500. I would have paid it too tbh.. In the end, I found mine for less than that so see it as a bonus!

I didn't look at any dresses over £1000 if the price tag was visible because although my mum and dad were paying for it, I thought over £1k was a bit much - unless it had been the only dress I loved!

In the end mine cost £950 but managed to get it for £775.

My dress is £3000, and i dont need to justify it. it is hand made by one woman, and no-one in the world will ever have the same dress ?

Double post

It really does depend on what you can afford. I originally didnt want to spend any more than about £800 on mine, luckily i found the perfect dress and it was a sample for much less. But if you love it and have to have it go for it ?

I didn't really have a budget for my dress as I knew nothing about how much a dress costs - I knew my mom had £800 towards it and I'd have to put the rest. In honesty, if it was the one, i'd have probably gone to £2,000 without it being a *really big* decision i'd have to have discussed with H2b, perhaps more with H2b's agreement.

In the end, mom's contibution more than covered it.

Mine was around £600 my mums paying for it but I think thats a good price for my dress

I found mine for less than my budget in the end, as I managed to get the bridal store to sell me their sample. If I had fallen in love with a dress way out of budget, I would have looked for it second hand. No-one will know!

It really depends on your budget and what you can really afford.

I fell in love with my dress and it was originally £2200 but I managed to negotiate it down to £2000 including fittings. I have no regrets as I love the dress and it made me feel fantastic. I tried on others and every one I compared to the one I bought, none of the dresses were in the same league as far as I was concerned. If you can afford it, go for it!

Mine cost a lot but its a custom made Vera Wang and I went to New York to have it made, ive always dreamt about it and this is hopefully my one and only chance of doing it so i thought why not!! It will also be a one off just for me so no one else will ever wear my dress again which i like the thought of!

My dress was more than i wanted to spend at £1200. But i loved it and knew it was the one. I phoned around all the stockists and managed to get it, brand new for £880 from an authroised Benjamin Roberts stockist.

They had a special weekend on when i phoned with an extra 10% off their prices.

If you really love the dress, shop, shop,shop around and you may be surprised how much cheaper you can actually get the dress for.

WSS!

I think I'd have spent up to £4500 for the 'right' dress. I've spent less than that and am very happy with my choice!

You should spend what you can afford and feels right for you.

Id set 1k for a dress..............turns out the one i loved was reduced from £1200 to £650!!!
