To ask how much your wedding dress cost?

[Ambrosius]

Because I can't find the bloomin' Weddings topic!
I'm getting married sometime next year and I have no idea how much anything costs.
So go on how much was yours?

As Hugh Grant once said a vicar with a hard on is not a good look at a wedding. I'd probably skip the table decorations before skipping the actual outfit myself but each to their own

Hooker chic?

£250 9 years ago

About £150 (may have been less, can't remember) 3 years ago. It wasn't a 'wedding dress' though, just a cream shift dress from LK Bennett.

Cripes! It occurs to me that Joanna's friend must have wanted to make as tasteful impact as this bride:

Ugh - are those rubber wetsuits? Or just body paint? Ugh.

I think Joanna's friend forgot the actual dress to go over the underwear.

joanna111 are you having a laugh, or are you perhaps affiliated to xykoo.com?

It's difficult to tell. But the strange bit of netting around her knees doesn't really make a wedding outfit! Like Joanna's friend who has clearly forgotten to buy a dress.

I made my own - spent about £90 on raw silk fabric a few quid on a pattern etc - that was in 1993 :D

Hmm me thinks Joanna works for the site that sells all that tat.
My friend who got married this weekend just gone actually wore that exact outfit for her hen party for a laugh. Complete with flashing tiara and tacky veil, L plates etc.
jamboncru Wow that's amazing! I never found anyone with the same dress when I was planning the wedding, how funny! Wow £800 was good, although to be fair I didn't shop around for prices as I knew I wouldn't be buying from a shop. Might be worth a try to fix it and sell it?

£1200 plus alterations for a Justin Alexander 8483 dress. For the detail on it I thought it was a good price (before I saw the price tag I assumed it would be over budget).

My shoes were £25 from Next, my underwear was an expensive set from Bravissimo (about £80 altogether), borrowed my sisters veil and tiara. Borrowed necklace, wore my own earrings and DH bought me a bracelet to wear.

£100 worth of Liberty's fabric and a kind aunt who dress made for a living.

She made it as my wedding present. Probably the cheapest fabric she ever had. She tended to do jobs for Brooke who picked up silk and beaded fabric from Liberty's not the acrylic moiré taffeta my student grant would stretch to

How can people become Brooke ???

I have to ask after looking at Joannas friends wedding choice - when you say she looked like a princess, of where? Where do princesses dress like that? In disney porn!

My first wedding dress was £1250 reduced to £750 as display. My next one will be this dress ;)

I had this one from Helen Marina in 2004. Cost £2000. The cost was irrelevant, it was just the one I loved.

£180 from Nicole Farhi and I wore it over and over again till it died.

i had mine designed and made by a local shop for about £750 altogether including alterations. the material was beautiful. it was a very simple dress with beading and detail around the waist. i got married this feb. didn;t have a veil. most people i know who have got married over the last couple of years have spent over a grand.

Hi there
WE have moved this to our weddings topic
Best of luck OP
NB mine was made for me and including 2 x bridesmaids all came in just under 1K but this was nearly 10 years ago

£650 made by Sincerity

their dresses are mid priced and very good value for the workmanship (I was expecting to pay £2000 but loved my dress so much) lots of diff styles from classic to more simple/modern. Good luck. I would love to do it all again.

Tries on wedding dress at least one a month and has been married three years

About $400! I bought at Magicweddingdress.com.

mine was the older version of this uk.monsoon.co.uk/view/product/uk_catalog/mon_6,mon_6.21/1531434112
with gold embroidery on it, about £220 at the time. Monsoon do beautiful, reasonably priced wedding dresses. My neighbour hemmed it for me, cost me a bunch of flowers :)

£30, wasn't even a wedding dress. Just a short cream dress. (it was a bit too short so I added a taffeta underskirt to make it more presentable)

£840 for dress veil and alterations in 2011. It's a crazy amount to spend on one day's dress, but parents insisted on paying. I got carried away as usually I'm very frugal.

Oh my dress.....at the cleaners now and can't wait to get it back....
Provonia 'petunia' with the cathedral length veil......had work done to the dress and veil so think it came in just over £2000. My wonderful parents got that bill :-)
