Budgeting for a dream wedding dress

Are you a bride creating a budget with no idea how much a wedding dress will really cost? Magazines are confusing and often don't even list prices for gowns. Here's an easy guide to what you'll get for your money.

For around $500, you can purchase a dress at a larger retailer that is machine made. Generally, these are made largely of synthetic fabrics, and have minimal amounts of hand-detailing. You may be able to purchase a lovely bridesmaid's dress in white from a more well-known designer. Make sure to get the dress altered to help it fit you.

Brides who are looking for a designer dress in silk or other natural fabric should expect to pay between $2000 and $4000. For this amount of money, the dress should be very well made, and include some hand detailing. Sponsored Links
