How Much Brides Really Spend on Wedding Dresses
Wedding dresses are expensive - the ones featured on Say Yes to the Dress often cost upward of $10,000 - but the amount most women are willing to spend on that dress is probably less than you would expect. And it's actually going down.
According to a new survey from e-commerce site Lyst, the average bride is only looking to spend around $998 on her dress. While that is still a lot of money, it's significantly less than last year's mean of $1,334.
Lyst also pointed out that searches for unconventional bridal styles - like jumpsuits and pantsuits - are up 30 percent, which they attribute to risk-taking celebs like Solange, who wore a caped jumpsuit for her wedding back in 2014.
Luckily for all the new brides out there, more fashionable, less-expensive options now exist online. Retailers like Topshop, Missguided, and Reformation have pieces in both trendy and timeless silhouettes that fit any budget.
Now, if only the cost of the rest of the wedding would go down too. #HowAreFlowersSoExpensive?!
