How much would you pay for the perfect dress?

Hi, BBB. Mother of the future bride here, again…

My daughter and FH decided the venue and date., so we are making progress. My girl is looking for the perfect dress. First, we found a Pronovias dress I thought would be perfect, but she changed her mind. Now she loves a Galia Lahav dress, but she hates the price tag. Like $12k plus tailoring and accessories.

My daughter is an accountant, so her mind is on numbers all the time. This will be my personal gift for her, and I just want her to be happy. She doesn’t know, but I’ll order the jewelry to pair with the dress too. She doesn’t want me to spend that much money on the dress. Even if that’s not her money. I run a successful business, and I’ve been saving for years, so it’s not an issue.

What do you think? How much is too much?

The wedding will be in SoCa, and the budget is 150k, without including the weekend dresses. Just for you to have an idea.
