I need to start thinking of a budget really for my dress, how much is too much I want to look lovely, but dont want to go silly?
CommentAuthorMrs (Dove) Pidgeon
What you can realistically afford. That will be different for every person. Do some research into your likes and dislikes, and see if you feel the prices are acceptable for what you want. If you feel its too much, yu have your answer and look for cheaper dresses.

Good luck in however much you choose to spend and when you start looking!! I've budgeted/going for between £500-800 for mine, but knowing me I'll find one I love at like £1000 and then sulk that I can't have it!!
I set a budget of 1200, but when i was picking dresses out to try on i never looked at any of the price tags. the dress i chose was 840 which was well under budget!!
CommentAuthorMrs fairytale

I found 2 I liked in shops £650, and £495, ... then was sat squiggling one evening, went on that well known site for a giggle and found my perfect dress for £50 .. took a gamble and it paid off! :)
CommentAuthorSuz80
The one i've picked is £160 from a well known seller that i found through here! It really depends on you, what you like, where you shop and how much you can realistically afford. xx

CommentAuthorNicci
My budget was £1000-i paid £1400 for my dress, but i love it and didnt ruin the wedding budget as i payed the extra out of my savings x
CommentAuthorlala "mod" bunni
spend wht you want to spend hun ...im going to a wedding next month where the bride has spent 3k on her dress .....doent mean she will look any more fantastic than a dress costing £50 the beauty comes rom the person wearing it not the material
my dad is buying mine so i guess how much is too much is down to him lol. but if its THE dress and he says its too much i'll just put my own money in x
CommentAuthorohfiddles

CommentAuthorLoubie

you go for whatever you can afford then add a bit more as when you find the perfect dress you will love it and have to have it, you will know which one it is x

CommentAuthorCeCe
I think how much you spend on your dress is really a very personal decision...just make sure to SHOP AROUND, get LOTS of recommendations and ASK QUESTIONS!
CommentAuthorLoubie
I have taken everything on board;-) Guess your right, Iwill know which is the right one when I put it on, its such a big part of the day, and I get to wear it twice LUSH;-) xx
CommentAuthorlisalou-b2b
My budget was £1000 and i've gone over by £200! Like you I get to wear mine twice tho so Im thinking - its like two dresses at £600 each. Bargain :o) Have fun trying some on x x
CommentAuthorshinyshiny
I've ordered a dress from a chinese seller on ebay for £96 and she said it should arrive with me in the next 2 weeks so fingers crossed! my thinking was they are mostly made in china anyways and if the feedback is really good then its a bargain!
