I set myself a budget of $1000

I got my dress from Bella for $513 including petticoat

Very happy with the quality for the price and its everything i wanted!!!

I never planned on spending much on my dress, as you only wear it once. I ended up getting my dress for just under $2700 (with a discount) which seems very $$$ compared to everyone else on here! ..but it is an amazing dress & the fact that my mother said not to worry about the price made things a lot easier!

I got my dress for $500, it is a designer gown and the bridal store was getting rid of floor stock so i thought i'd go in and never expected to walk out with my dress!!
Totall different to what i thoughyt i would go with but i love it and am so happy with it, I wish i could wear it all the time!
It normally sells for $2600 so I did very well, and got even better when my mum said she wanted to pay for it!
Although i was shocked when i got quoted over $800 for alterations!!

As little as possible!

Ditto. I will order it online from the likes of HOB or some such, so I'm not fretting about the quality, but odds are there'll be alterations once it arrives (I'm a shortie) so not looking at anything over about 500 bucks. I just don't wanna spend much on a dress for one day.

Same! I walked in randomly with my mum & found they selling all their stock for $450. I tried on a dress my mum picked & it was fab & a steal (dress was originally $1250)

Hello ladies
I am thinking of opening up a store in Perth, Brisbane or a CBD in Australia for gorgeous but inexpensive wedding dresses and mens suits both custom made and off the rack!
Could you please tell me if it was tricky to find an inexpensive gown when you were shopping for your wedding there? I would appreciate any tips.
Thank you
