Slightly rude question re dresses and budgets

At the moment the dress ive fallen for is 695 but my total budget is 5k ish max 6.5k.

Depends what is important to you.

The dress ive seen made my mum cry and my grin like you wouldn’t believe.

We have to pay £700 ish for the church.

Im focusing on what makes me/ us happy.

Im not having a vintage car or a super flashy reception because the vows and the church are the most important bits for me.

I havent got the dress yet but im already depressed that I can only wear it once - its so sad to think it’s the only day you get to feel so special (

I vow to wear it round the house.

Look in BHS too - I had issues with the length and like someone pointed out alterations can cost £200 + so that bargain dress for 250 may not be such a bargain

Hi there my dess was £800 not sure wha % it is as we have nt set a budget even though we shoul d have if you lookaround you can get nice dresses for cheaper . good luck with your dress, only spend what you can afford you will know it when you see it

6%, but I have a tiny budget: c. £250 dress and overall budget of £4,300 (if we manage to reach our goal and resist making it bigger!). It is having to come out of our tiny house deposit money so we have to be a bit unusually small. But I think it can be happy anyway

"""Not sure if its frowned upon on here, but getting one made in China by a company called Millybridal. Its a copy of a designer one but with a few changes."""

Oh thats interesting! I've beent thinking of doing that but wasn't sure how reliable it would be or how well it would fit/quality. Have you got yours? if so whats it like and how does it work ordering it so they make exactly what you want?
