On Your Wedding Day, It's All About the Dress…

From the day we are born, and from the time that we begin to dream, we girls have fairy tale visions of when we will we wed our very own prince charming. We draw pictures and we sort out the details so much so that the vision of this special day is etched in our brain and we wonder throughout our life just how it will transpire? Just like Cinderella, we're on a time clock too. We only have so much time to plan our fairy tale wedding.

So much goes into planning for a wedding…what to choose, where to wed, who to invite, or not to invite, who to ask to be in the wedding party, what colors to choose, themes, what flowers to order, what kind of cake, will it be a sit down dinner or a buffet style reception, open bar or no bar? Where will the honeymoon be? What will I pack? How much money will we need? All of these are quite important, but not as important as it is to find the perfect wedding dress.

In my personal opinion, your bridal gown is the most important part of the wedding. How will it fit? How will it flow? Will it be long or knee length? Will it be slim fitting or layered? Will it have beads and sequins? Will there be ruffles and bows? How long should the the train be? Will I wear a veil? No one knows…but you will.

The problem with so many weddings is that not only can they get out of hand but many women are on such tight budgets and as we all very well know…with budgets come sacrifices. Believe me, I know about this all too well. At age 19, I planned my own wedding in six weeks. My problem was that my parents accommodated me so much as to how I wanted my special day that it almost seemed too perfect. I was so busy worrying about churches, and banquet halls, bridesmaids and groomsmen, flowers, the cake, the DJ and all I forgot about the most important thing, the gown. Meanwhile, my parents came to me and said the one thing that no bride ever wants to hear…"Honey, you'll have to borrow someone else's wedding dress to wear, our budget is tapped out!" I was that bride that would never know what it would be like to save my dress and pull it out of a box 30 years later for my daughter to wear, or to just go into my attic or closet and relic over it.

Let's speed ahead 30+ years. Today things are really out of hand with weddings. Myself, I don't believe in choosing a specific designer nor can every woman afford it. I personally believe in choosing a wedding dress based on the 'wow' factor and not the designer. My guess is that 95% of your guests will not know if the bridal gown you walk down the aisle in is designer or not. It should be everything that you've imagined yet at a price that is reasonable.

With the average cost of a wedding in 2014 being just a little shy of $29K the average price spent on a wedding dress was $1211. Manhattan brides spent on average and at the lower end $2877 and women in Idaho averaged $878. Meanwhile, the average cost of a high school prom has risen to an average of $1139, that is 40% higher than just in 2011. Apples for apples what does this mean exactly? It means that young women are spending more on a dress and the prom than some women spend on bridal gowns. Here's my 2 cents…Your wedding day is far more important in my opinion than a night at the prom with some guy that you'll probably forget by your freshman year of college.
