Eh okay I'll share our breakdown currently. And keep i mind I started out with a 2k tops dress budget. Maybe 3k tops for everything!
Me:
Dress: $3222.45
Alterations: $500 maybe, not sure yet.
Shoes: $677.75 (re-wearable manolo's in silver!)
Bracelet, earrings, veil and headwrap (custom made): $1726.94 - at that point I quit looking at price tags and handed over the charge card, ouch!
Spanx: $50 or so? Plus a bustier from the shop, no clue on cost there yet.
Hair/Makeup is $1185.00, before you freak out! She required we pay for 4 of us to get done for her to travel so that's what i'm paying for the bridal party. For me it would have been say $600 or so, so I'll just count the 600.
Him:
Shoes: $406 (bruno magli re-wearable!)
Tux: Free because of all the other rentals (he has a gorgeous armani suit but he wouldnt' have matched the other guys so we went with the tux rental)
Vest: Custom made by a local SF tailor who does 1940s and 50s style menswear (white silk and tweed) $248.64
Tie: Custom made seven fold tie $135.62 made from the exact material of my wedding dress (we ordered it) so tack on an additional 135.63 for a total of $271.25
Cufflinks: Mother of pearl and crystal $85.37
Our total: $7788.40 and counting dependng on what else crops up! Yowch...
Okay so in terms of our 'budget' or what we're spending, do you not count the rings or do you count them? I was not counting them originally in our budget. Also we had to rent a house for a week to have the house for the wedding day itself. The house for the week is 5k, the day of is 3k. So do you count the 8 or the 3? We'll make back some of the 5 from friends staying in the house with us though... I was only counting the 3... oh but it gets worse when you take that new number and realize you're still somehow spending MORE Than that on gosh knows what!
ETA: Either way we add it up we spent more than 10% of our budget on attire.
