When you first put together your budget, your dress should account for five percent. For some people, the dress will be much more than this, but most brides will want to stay within this budget. It's good to set a budget early on and limit your search accordingly. Figure out what brands make dresses in your price range through magazines, magazine ads and the internet. Find out what stores in your area carry these brands and visit them first. Here's three amazing dresses for under $1000 - some of them WAY under!
