This is part 7 in our blog series \u201cHow much will your wedding cost?\u201d and this part is about your wedding attire.\u00a0 As with all the blogs in this series, I am using CostOfWedding.com<\/a> as a resource for the facts and figures listed in this blog.\u00a0 As stated in part one of this series, the website listed the Toledo Brides and Grooms spent $557 to $928 for average wedding attire and between $1,113 to $1,484+ for designer or custom items.\u00a0 As stated in previous posts, the website does not list how many brides and grooms responded to the survey.\u00a0 By looking at these figures, I\u2019m guessing that there were not many because this seems very low and does not equal the rest of the figures listed on the report for this category.\u00a0 Also, as with my past posts in this series, all figures listed are for Toledo, OH weddings and may be different for the suburbs or outlying areas.

\nEvery bride dreams of her wedding dress and how gorgeous she will be walking down the aisle, but how much will it cost?\u00a0 This of course depends on your taste and where you shop.\u00a0 According to the Cost of Wedding website, Toledo Brides spend between $708 and $1,180 for an average wedding dress while spending between $1,416 and $1,888 for a designer gown.

\nHave you seen the reality TV show \u201cSay Yes to the Dress?\u201d\u00a0 A Pnina Tornai<\/a><\/em> gown purchased from Kleinfeld Bridal<\/a><\/em> in New York City, as frequently seen on the show, could cost you thousands of dollars.\u00a0 At the same time, a gown purchased on sale at a wedding boutique or one purchased from a consignment shop like my neighbor Dream Designs Bridal Outlet & Consignment Shop<\/em> can save you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.\u00a0 Not thrilled with the idea of purchasing from a consignment shop?\u00a0 Did you know that most of the gowns have never been worn?\u00a0 Many times a bride that purchases a gown but does not go through with the ceremony or finds a different one to wear will sell the unused gown at a consignment store.\u00a0 Consignment stores also purchases gowns that other stores or distributors do not sell because they may have over-ordered or anticipated a higher volume of sales.\u00a0 Because consignment stores purchase gowns at a lower price than other bridal shops, they can sell the dresses at a lower price.\u00a0 No matter where you choose your gown, if you have to order it, make sure that you do so with plenty of time for the dress to be made and shipped and also allow time in case alterations are needed.\u00a0 Also allow in your budget for the alterations whether you think you may need them or not, just in case because you may lose or gain weight from all of the stress from planning the wedding.\u00a0 These alterations could cost hundreds of dollars depending on what needs to be done.\u00a0 You may also need for your gown to be professionally pressed so don\u2019t forget to include that in your budget.\u00a0 Always ask the store what is included in the purchase price so there are no surprises in your purchase.

\nAccording to CostOfWedding.com, Toledo brides spend between $65 and $109 for their veil or headpiece while spending between $131 and $174+ for designer or custom veils or headpieces.\u00a0 But that\u2019s not the only accessories that you will need.\u00a0 The website has a separate category for this and states that local Brides spend between $90 and $150 for average accessories and spend between $180 and $240 for custom or designer accessories.\u00a0 However, it does not state what these accessories are.\u00a0 I\u2019m guessing that the shoes are included along with your garter.\u00a0 However, you may also need a slip or crinoline to go under your gown, a jacket or wrap for cooler weather, a purse or clutch, and don\u2019t forget your other undergarments.\u00a0 Your wedding shoes are necessary for pictures but you may want a second more comfortable pair to wear for the rest of the evening so make sure this is included in your budget along with the garter that gets tossed.

\nThe groom is part of the wedding also and needs to be dressed, so let\u2019s not forget him in the budget.\u00a0 According to the website, Toledo Grooms spend between $122 and $203 for the tux purchase or rental and between $243 and $324+ for the designer labels.\u00a0 They also spend between $60 and $100 for accessories and between $120 and $160+ for custom or designer accessories.\u00a0 When renting or purchasing a tuxedo, it\u2019s important to find out what is included in the price.\u00a0 Many tuxes come with either a vest or cummerbund.\u00a0 The vest is for a more formal look and the cummerbund is a more relaxed look.\u00a0 If the tux does not come with either, make sure you add this to your budget.\u00a0 The tux should also come with a tie, shirt, cuff link and stud set (pieces of jewelry that are used instead of buttons on a formal shirt), and suspenders if needed.\u00a0 Shoes, socks and pocket silks are usually extra.\u00a0\u00a0 However, depending on the store where you choose to rent or purchase the groom\u2019s tux, these all may be add-ons so be sure to check with the store.\u00a0 Many stores also have deals where if you rent so many tuxes for the bridal party that the groom\u2019s tux is either discounted or free, so be sure to find out the store\u2019s policy on this when figuring it in your budget.
