...did you pay for your wedding dress?
I have just picked mine out, and upon looking at the price tag I had a little bit of a moment and now I'm head spinning into a guilt trip (as mum and dad said they'd buy my dress, well actually they demanded that they buy my dress!). Although, mum thinks it's an absolute score. It's hitting the 2,000 mark
I was curious to see what the average is!
I got married in things I already owned - a black pinstriped skirt, a black 3/4 sleeve top with a nice plunging neckline, no necklace (I have implant piercings on my chest), my usual earings, my hair in little pigtail buns at the back of my head, my big 5.5 inch heel boots (a bit gothy) and a posy of flowers bought on the day.
Wore very little makeup which I did myself and basically spent the whole day eating chocolate, dying my hair, having a nice long shower and washing the dog (she came too). :-)
So weddings don't have to be stressful or expensive.
Take a look on Ebay for some wedding dress sellers from HK, China or Thailand. They can usually get the design pretty close to the original you wanted and even with postage it turns out cheaper. We got hubby's wedding shirt and wuit made like this. And they can be made to your custom measurements.
I had an off-the-shelf dress for $185. It is just a white strapless dress, not necessarily a bridal gown, no train. Fit my theme of simple and elegant though.
