Brides Shared Photos Of Their Thrifted Wedding Dresses, And Every Single One Is $100 Or Under
According to a study that surveyed 15,000 couples in 2021, the average cost of a wedding dress in that year was $1,800. That's 450 cups of coffee at Starbucks! Or 4.5 good quality vacuums! Or, well, you get the picture — it's simply a f**k ton of money.
