    £99 - M&S bridesmaids dress. Only had a budget of £250 for my outfit (not much compared to some!) but I really like the dress I've got - it's just what I want.

    I plan to spend under £100 and if I cant find anything I have a black and cream prom dress I already own that I am thinking about using and then treat myself to some nice accessories (only ever worn it to one wedding and only one group of people coming have seen me in it).
  • I've not bought mine yet but definately under £500, just need to decide where we are actually going to get married as will affect the dress choice....Am head over heels in love with a dress from millys but its quite big, and we are thinking of beachy wedding so would need something a bit lighter....
    I love food, hate waste and have a penchant for sparkly things ::D

    Trying to find a work life balance...:rotfl:

    Mine was £625, with a further £25 flat rate for all alterations (haggled this down from £50)

    £55 for veil

    £9 for shoes from Primark

    £35 for a Wonderbra

    £150 for wedding night undies!

    Originally thought I'd be able to get the lot for £400!

    OK, here goes. I've already posted this on another thread but just got to tell you all :-)

    Dress £60 inc P and P from ebay. Need alterations but those alterations will get rid of any marks on the hem so probably £100 total inc p and p
    Shoes £30.80 inc p and p (including cashback from quidco) Absolutely gorgeous
    Silk flowers £38 inc p and p. 1 brides bouquet, 2 bridesmaids bouquets and 4 buttonholes. Also gorgeous
    Tiara £9.99 inc p and p from ebay
    Veil £11 inc p and p from ebay
    Stockings were £6 but free thanks to a discount code at debenhams. OH bought me some shoes, I found some disount codes that got me 25% off plus free delivery)

    Think that's it for now :-)
    Yaaay, I finally conned a man into making a honest woman of me. Even more shocking is that I can put the words "Happily" and "Married" into the same sentence and not have life insurance on my mind when I say it ;-)
