My dress + vail alone was $8k. So probably like $13k ish with all the other stuff you mentioned. Girl If you felt / will feel great on your day that is the most important thing (IMO) A few thousand bucks over your lifetime is nothing but feeling invincible on one of the most memorable days of your life is everything!!
Thank you! I definitely have no regrets over my choices, just felt a little crazy for a moment 🙃

I will give you the same advice you’ve given me and you do you girl!!! Mine went up significantly with dress changes but I’m happy with my decision. With that said, I am also proud that most of what I have/will buy I can reuse - aside from the main wedding dress, of course.
