Average Cost of a Wedding Dress. In 2014, the average amount spent on a wedding dress was $1,357, according to a survey of brides done by TheKnot. This cost was about 4% of the total average wedding budget of $31,213. Because these numbers are averages, they are likely pulled higher than the median by brides who spent much more than that.
Most brides spent an average of $1,357 alone on their wedding dress. At the same time, guest lists are shrinking even as costs rise. The average wedding now has 136 guests, down from 149 in 2009, says the Knot's Rebecca Dolgin. The cheapest place to tie the knot was Utah, where couples spent only $15,000 on the big day in 2014.
