Not to totally give myself away as a complete rookie, but how much should I pay for a gown??
I know it''s personal, but what is average?
Only a few of my friends have gotten married so far, and all of them spent $3-5k on their dresses, so I just assumed that was what they cost. Then I went shopping with another friend and we saw all kinds of really pretty dresses under $1k! I was really surprised.
I had planned on a budget of about $3k, but is that overkill? We are having a beach wedding, so no intricate beading or lace for me. I do want something "wedding-y" though, not just a sheath. I want something that looks classic and high-quality, but I couldn''t care less about having a designer name.
Can you lovely brides-to-be give me some guidance?
