Why PAY that much? Please don't get caught up in the "hipe" of the wedding spend-a-thon.
Depending on your wedding, those places are just waiting for scared brides to max out their own or parents credit cards.
So shop in March/ April or July/Sept (best deals) I have seen some GREAT dresses for $99- $300. So have an idea of what you want, and keep your mind open. Don't fall IN LOVE with the dress or the pieces that go with it.
Look for a Style and then a color that looks good on you- white many times is NOT the right color. So watch the dress color, the other pieces will clash.
Talk to friends and mothers- I had a bride that borrowed everything- and saved all that money for an incredible 14 day cruise. Another one coupon shopped and paid cash for her's and no one knew the wiser, it was a really great, fancy wedding. Formal sitdown.
Talk to girlfriends- borrow the veils ($50-500 those suckers are pricey) Buy low end shoes, you will NEVER wear them again.
Don't be afraid to ask for a deal. They will work it for you.
I had my dress custom made- it was actually golden, brocaide with ivory panels, since I am so pale white, no store dress looked good on me. I would recommend that it be competeed at least a month before the wedding- i was sewing on mine on the way to the alter- in the horse drawn carriage.

Not if I had the chance to do it all over again. I'd buy a $99 wedding gown from David's Bridal and then take the other $900 and put it toward something practical. Your wedding ceremony is just a few hours, then its over, and you'll never wear the gown again.
And while the idea of saving your gown for your daughter is nice, I don't know how often it actually gets worn again. There's no way in the world I would've gotten married in my mother's short white skirt and pill box hat (the Jackie Kennedy look), and I kinda bet my daughter won't have any desire to wear my big, puffy sleaved, heavily beaded 80's gown either.

A 1,000 is a really really cheap price for a wedding dress. For a wedding woman spend 1,000 just on thier shoes

No, think it would be wise to spend more money on other more important things. Set a budget for the gown and make do with what you can afford. There are lots of affordable gowns with different fabulous looks!

me no i would have my mother make my gown and i know it would be unique and cost a hell of a lot less then buying one in a store and it would be the best gown that any one had seen.....my prom dress was unique and no one had another one like it as well as everyone wanted to know where i bought it and it only cost me 45$ but hell i'm a poor ***** anyways there is other things to spend that money on.....but to each there own if you got it spend it i guess there is kids out there that could use the money for better things then a dress

Nope. A $1,000 wedding gown won't wash our clothes like a Kenmore would.

Not me. Mine cost less than $200. But I didn't feel the need to have a big, fancy wedding. I was funding it myself and it was rather informal and small. Even if I had the money, I doubt I would have spent it on a dress to be worn once.

Depending on if I had enough money, yeah, I would. I love looking and feeling like a princess, and what better way than your wedding day. You will cherish it for the rest of your life and could possibly pass it down to your daughter or someone else.
