The groom got a custom tux so he clocked in at $1500. Then again, he will ( hopefully) wear it more than once and since my dress was more, hard to argue. In his defense he is 6'9" and the visit to rental locations did not leave warm fuzzies
Caveating that we are having a luxury wedding, so this is much more than I was expecting to spend…
$10k dress; spending ~$1k after for having it dyed and made into a formal dress
$250 veil (found an awesome online site that custom embroiders them)
$2k party dress
$2k rehearsal dress and custom jacket
$2k for shoes - boots, bridal sneakers
Thanks ☺️
