Linda Palmer5 said:ruggedfox16, that’s the plan. I tracked down the numbers—how far in advance did you book your dress? Honestly, feels way too early to me—the wedding isn't even until October...

I don't remember the exact dates, but if I recall correctly, it was around Lent and the wedding was in October, just like yours. 🙂 It doesn't hurt to check. Honestly, I went in with so many prejudices about their quality and service, but man, was I surprised. I only went to Laperla. I picked my dress right away, then went back for one last fitting on Thursday before the big day (they let me in the second they opened), waited about half an hour for the dress, and headed home 🙂. Even considering the price and $2333, my take is that you won't spend much more on $800 gas (especially if you're also paying for that little flower girl dress).

Linda Palmer5 said:ruggedfox16, thanks a ton. Quick question though—did you guys go for the "designer" labels or just stick to the standard stuff? I don't want to sound like a snob, but there’s honestly a massive difference between the high-end pieces and the cheaper ones. With the pricey stuff, the lace doesn't itch against your skin, and the train is way lighter—you don't feel like you're dragging a heavy rug behind you. Still, $3000 is overkill, though $1667 is totally fine... also, at St., they charge extra for little flower girl dresses $133

I actually had a gown from Pronovias once. It was absolutely stunning, and honestly, it stayed in perfect shape—like a solid 5 out of 5. But I don't want to speak for everyone, so your best bet is probably just calling the salon directly and chatting with the owner. She's a sweetheart and will definitely give you all the details over the phone. You can find her number on their Facebook page!

Linda Palmer5 said:I need some advice from the ladies here—if any of you have headed to La Perla or Sposa in Mostar to hunt for a wedding dress, could you give me a heads-up on what the price range looks like? I saw a few pieces from Pronovias and M. Mote at St. $3000 but they’re just way too much for my budget. Thanks.

Linda Palmer5, a friend and I both went to rent dresses at La Perla in Mostar last year. My dress ended up being $3,200, and my friend $1333 paid about the same. The best part was that everything came included—the veil, the shawl, even the bridesmaid dress... so honestly, I think it’s totally worth the trip. Just make sure you book an appointment and go for it!

Hey there! I could really use some help here. Does anyone happen to have any info on a band called Sweet Secret from Metković? Thanks!
