(I didn't include E's wedding clothes in the final total since his suit is something he can and will wear again (and already has, actually) but for the sake of keeping crazy readers who just want to point in my face when I am wrong I am disclosing what we spent on it. )
He already had the shoes he wore, they weren’t new!
Wedding Day Attire: $1107.50
Wow!! That is insane! Your custom gown with accessories costs as much as my David’s Bridal gown with the crinoline and corset bra. (They had to custom order my corset bra though, so that wouldn’t have been the easier thing for me to find.)
Thank you so much for posting your budget breakdown! As I embark on the last three months before our wedding, my life seems like an endless list of things to do and to buy. It’s nice to see a successful – affordable! – wedding has come off without a hitch!
Those shoes are fierce!
You have to tell me where I can find those shoes! It was love at first sight! Please share =)
