What brides said about the label

  • Searched it for both dresses: the same Pronovias Jory new in a bridal size 6 at $1,700, and the Kyha corset and skirt combo used at $2,500, with several sizes of each listed.
  • Went alone to her very first appointment and tried 10-12 silhouettes in two hours; bought elsewhere, but it let her rule styles out before shopping with a group
  • Owns a Pronovias gown herself and says the label's prices are reasonable, which is why the consultant's claim of a $15k line did not add up
  • Fell for an over-budget Pronovias gown the same way and paid full price for it rather than hunting it down on a resale site.
  • Paid $2,100, $600 over budget, and rates the gown super comfortable and worth the money; the price excludes alterations.
  • Respected her stated price point with a wide range of styles; she rates the visit well above her Kleinfeld appointment
  • Bought a 2000 dollar gown here on a 120k wedding because her mother was paying and needed an affordable option
  • Mostly samples and past-season stock; she got a Pronovias, her dream gown, for $800.

Questions about Pronovias prices

How much is a Pronovias wedding dress?

A median $2,050 across 16 prices brides reported, with the middle half between $1,000 and $3,700 and the full range $40 to $5,571. The same label runs a median $2,700 new from a salon and $200 secondhand. The national median across every label and route here is $850.

Is Pronovias worth the price?

Brides judge a label on three things: whether the construction holds up, whether the sizing was honest, and what the alterations came to afterwards. The accounts below carry all three. Read the tailoring column as part of the price rather than as an extra, because it is the part nobody quotes at the appointment.

Where can I find Pronovias cheaper?

Three routes take the price down without changing the gown: a sample or floor model of a discontinued style, a resale listing from a bride whose measurements match yours, and a stockist in another city, since the same style genuinely sells for different money at different shops. The table above shows what each route paid.

can you wear a bridesmaid dress as a wedding dress

Yes, and it is the cheapest route here. One bride paid 250 for an off white bridesmaid dress and added a layer, and brides point to Revelry, Park and Fifth and Azazie which make bridesmaid styles in white and ivory. This bride wore a Sweetheart Lace Gown from Needle & Thread's bridesmaid range and says the range is full of dresses that would work as wedding dresses.

can you rent a wedding dress instead of buying

Yes where a rental house exists locally; one Toronto bride rents designer gowns from The Fitzroy and suggests looking for an equivalent in your own city. Rent the Runway carries white and formal options, with rentals under 100 for the guest dresses one bride used, though she bought her own wedding gown outright on StillWhite.

Is Azazie wedding dress quality good?

Described as lower than salon dresses but not bad, with most styles under 1,000 and try-at-home samples for about 10 per dress; a friend's Azazie gown looked nice in person. Mostly positive: brides paid 100 on clearance, 500, and 650 after tax and were happy, and their bridesmaid dresses were reliable. One bride explored Azazie and did not like the quality, choosing Avery Austin instead.

how much are wedding dresses at david's bridal

One shopper went in with a 2500 budget and found all her top choices at 699 regular price, and saw nothing above 1800. Another bought at the Scarborough branch for 400, and a third bought two dresses for under 700 combined. Brides paid 100, 350 after discounts, 500, about 600, 629 for a plus-size sale dress and 900 for a 2k Oleg Cassini on clearance; David's Bridal also altered an outside Poshmark dress for about 300, and one bride was shown 3k dresses despite stating a 1,500 budget.

can you wear a bridesmaid or prom dress as a wedding dress

Several brides did. One wore a green David's Bridal bridesmaid dress off the rack for $79, and others pointed out that prom dresses come in the same silhouettes and white bridesmaid styles cost a fraction of bridal. Yes, and several did: a red sample ball gown from a prom store, a blue bridesmaid dress for a beach ceremony, and a tea-length white dress from the Macy's formal section. brides said prom stock is built to a similar quality now that silk and real embroidery are high-end only.

does David's Bridal have wedding dresses under $500

Yes, mostly on the clearance rack: reported buys at $169, $200, $250, $280 and $300, sometimes with unmarked discounts that only show at the register. One bride says the under-$500 selection is small and advises visiting several branches, since stores mark expensive gowns down to clear the floor. Yes, brides here paid $80, $100, $200 and about $500, and a clearance prom dress went for $89 as a second reception dress. The common warning is to buy the gown there but get veils and alterations elsewhere, where they cost less for the same quality.
