Get ready for amazing stationery design in today’s wine hued Maryland Farm wedding! All because our bride, Amanda is the owner and designer at Amanda Childs Paperie and Designs; and created an lingerie amazing wedding invitation suite. We love the accent of wine hues paired with moss tones and rustic accents like antlers and candles on the tables. The pair met in the Police academy back in 2015. And while both in the same precinct they had opposite shifts which proved dating new homecoming dresses to be tough! However, they were together for 4 years before tying the knot out on the rolling lawns of Naylor Farms. Thank you Procopio Photography for sharing her unique capture of their beautiful Maryland wedding!

You may have dreamt about your wedding day and the perfect dress since you were little, admired the beautiful gowns in a magazine or even tried something on before you were engaged (you’re not the only one!) Whatever the case, we want to help you pick the perfect wedding dress for YOU. Now not only does it come down to what you have in mind, sexy evening dresses but also what your budget will allow.

So, what can Australian brides expect to pay for a wedding dress in 2020? And how does your budget compare?

Drum roll please… the average cost of a wedding dress in Australia is $2,637. It’s really no surprise to us that brides spend a little bit extra when it comes to their perfect wedding gown. After all, it will be forever captured in wedding photos and your memories. This number factors in those who buy off the rack, as well as brides who have their dress custom made.

Brides to be from Melbourne or Sydney are likely to spend a bit more over the average national budget on their dresses. Those further north, south or west will save a few hundred dollars on their dresses.

After looking at the numbers, we discovered that the typical bride would spend around 7% of their wedding budget on the dress. If you need help working out how much you should spend on your dress, login to our budget calculator and input your entire wedding costs to see what you could spend.

That cheap sashes belts said, 23% of brides say that if they find the dress of their dreams, their budget doesn’t matter. And we’re also totally on board with that!

However, if you’re concerned with your budget but still want that designer dress, preloved dresses are a great alternative, with 14% of brides doing just this. There are some gorgeous designer gowns that you can get for a discounted price.
