Hi I'm new to the board and I'm curious, how much is just too much for a wedding gown? My wedding is in May 2006 in New Orleans, horse and carriage, and candlelight. My mother's living her dream, and I only have to pay for half of everything. I just don't want to go overboard. I found a gown that I absolutely adore. But the salon wants $1200, which doesn't include alterations. I'm only going to have it on for a few hours. At that price I'm thinking I should at least keep it on for a couple of days. (LOL) I'm trying to get the style number so I can track it down somewhere else. But, what's your views, do you ladies think that's to much?

ok that is a lot! But hardly the high end for wedding gowns. I had one on here that everyone wanted... until they learned it was $9,000!! lol You can find a pic of it and get a local seamstress to knock off a copy for a few hundred bucks. Most people can't tell the difference between a $99 irregular from Davids and a $20,000 Amalse anyway.

Who makes the gown?
It's a Moonlight Design gown. The style number on their web page is JC1121 in the Jewel Collection. I love this gown, and I felt beautiful in it, but I just think that's too much.
As Rosetta pointed out, some brides will pay $8000 or more on their dream gowns, the problem with those of us who think $1200 is too much is; we know we can do something else with that money (Amen). BTW; I went to the website and saw your gown it's beautiful! But, how much do you want to spend on a gown?
Living my life like it's GOLDEN!!
That's a great gown.
For the 300 of you who are trolling a day and won't go look at the gown here is the pic:
Omigosh! And your wedding is candlelight.... Wow. I really think that gown is worth it! Are you dreaming about it at night? During the day? At check out counters? Then get it.

Special thanks to you Phenomonique and to you too Rosetta for putting us together! Ladies what do you all think of the gown?
Phenomonique is awesome! I am so glad you are getting this amazing dress. It is so romantic and getting it for less is the bees knees!
