OK, my lovely ladies... I am starting to research possible dresses for my wedding (of course - what else?!?). And I was just wondering on average how much the dresses really cost... I see a lot of dre

I voted for the 1000 - 2000 range. I am hopeing to find a pre-owned dress for under 2 k. and under 1 k would be even better. I am going to try my hardest to keep it under a grand but love is priceless

I had originally budgeted $1500 for the dress only but I ended up paying $799 for the dress and $150 for the veil. It was a sample gown which originally was at $900.

True!!! But shop around. I've recently found any associated with a bridal shop are WAY more money

That's true, when I was a bridesmaid they wanted to charge us like $120 just to hem the dress. We went to see a local seamstress and she only charged $50 per dress... it's totally worth shopping around

A hem at David's bridal was quoted to me around $130. My coworker got a hem, bustle, sash changed out and a repair for $120

 Mhmm No matter what it is when they know it has something to do with a wedding they jack the price up so much it's ridiculous.

I had a budget of 2K, I found a dress for 1895 and bought the sample for 50% off as it fit almost perfectly, now my dress lives at the bridal shop for the next year until I actually need it! Finding a deal is super possible I just went to a few different local bridal shops and everyone offered sale prices.

that's exactly why I took it home! I heard so many horror stories of stores going under and your dress is lost forever or things like that happening.  I guess my house could burn down too but it just feels safer when it's with me for some reason haha.

I think there is a part of us that feels we have more control. Not only did she almost lose her dress but heritage park told her they double booked and she had to change her location. Then someone broke into their truck. Wth! Poor girl.

wow! Yeah poor girl sounds about right. I know that some things always go wrong on the wedding day but I'm hoping for minor things. Your friend's sister had awful luck (or good luck in case of the dress not being burned). My mom told me that the lady who made her dress decided to dye her hair while they were doing the final fitting, a few days before the wedding, and she stained one of the sleeves with hair dye! I would be freaking out.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
