    I tried this dress on-it was £4k!! Only tried it because the lady in the shop said it was her favourite!
    It was beautiful and made my Ma cry, but there is no way I would have bought it! Apart from the cost, it is one hell of a dress to wear all day, all everyone would have talked about was the dress..not ME in the dress :rotfl:

    No I don't make many threads about our wedding don't know why lol
    Our wedding is expensive compared to a lot of the amazing things people do on here but for everything we want it is cheap because we originally were going with small registry office wedding and room above a pub with about 20 people and neither of us would have minded not having a huge day and I have seen lots of people turn small weddings into amazing affairs but we made a list of realistic things we would like and worked from there. Our whole wedding costs 6k and we are doing everything ourselves.

    I tried on a couple of dresses at £1300 both of which were ok, but not the right dresses, no matter how lovely the maggie sottero vienna was, I put off by the pushy sales lady.

    The dress I settled on cost £595.

    My dress was just under 4k. Was the only one I liked (I wanted short sleeves and not full) and I loved it. Worth every penny IMO evne though now it just hangs in the spare room. It's an heirloom for my DD.

    Lol, yes i do have a diary thing floating about, i need to update it when i get a chance.

    My ceremony has cost £255, but we've got to pay a fortune for all the documents to be translated and legalised, we're gutted!! We're getting married in Rhodes, so we should include the cost of the holiday too, but since we were doing that anyway, i don't tend to!
