The average wedding cost in the US is about $33,000, with brides spending about $1,500 on wedding dresses, according to the Knot’s recent real weddings study.But Quiñones said brides can walk down the aisle feeling like a queen with gowns that cost from as low as $300 to about $1,200 dollars.“I would have never thought that any of these gowns are under like $5,000, to be frank, I mean the quality, the creation, like they’re beautiful gowns,” said Sheen Suarez.Quiñones said his 2019 collection showcases top silhouettes and mermaid dresses embellished with beads and lace that transform ready-to-wear gowns into couture.“Finding a dress is like finding your husband, it’s love at first sight. It has to fit the body and it has to fit the budget,” he said.Read more on <a href="https://balitangamerica.tv/">Balitang America</a>.
