You're considering saying "yes to the dress" and it's gorgeous, but before you find your second perfect match, consider this. The price of that beautiful wedding dress does not include alterations, and depending on what needs to be done, those alterations can cost as much as the dress itself. Hemming a ruffled dress can cost 200.00. Bustles can cost upwards of 100.00, and altering a neckline or a waistline can be significant, depending on the fabric. Almost every dress will need alterations, but if you're on a budget, you can make wiser choices, and a great consultant can help you in many ways.
