The Number Game
Based on current industry averages, attire typically makes up 8-10% of the overall wedding budget. Using those numbers as reference points can help you build out your own wedding budget and avoid any surprises when you start shopping. Our gowns start at $1500 and go up to $7000 with a majority of our gowns between the $2000-$4000 price point! Using those numbers as reference points can help you build out your own wedding budget and avoid any surprises when you start shopping.
Who’s Paying For The Dress?
Another important step in deciding your budget is figuring out who will be paying. Traditionally the bride’s parents pay for the wedding dress, but these traditions often fall to the wayside. Sometimes a generous family member will offer to pay or the couple will be covering the costs themselves. If someone else is offering to pay for your dress, it’s important to have a conversation with them about what they’re expecting to spend. If you are paying for the dress yourself, our friends at Earnest can help you you afford your dream day without stressing over every dollar by using a low-rate personal loan for some or all of your wedding expenses.
The Extras
When planning out your dress budget it’s super important to add in the accessories that will complete your wedding day look. It can be easy to forget about! Not every bride will purchase all of these, but here are some of the extra items that might take up a portion of your budget:
- Veil
- Belt
- Hair Accessories
- Shawl
- Jewelry
- Shoes
- Garter
- Undergarments
- Alterations
- Dress Preservation
