Wedding dress in Europe recommendations

Can you please help in figuring which will be the best country to go to for wedding dress shopping?

Italy
Spain
France
Germany

I am looking for a dress in range of €1500 -2000

If you are familiar with any wedding districts in any of the countries please feel free to name the city and where i can find?

Which cities i should be considering?

Also what shops should i be looking for?

I am looking for nice wedding dresses and fun shopping experience amd wide variety

Perhaps you should consider Putignano which is about 40 km south of Bari, the capital of the Puglia Region (the heel of Italy).

Putignano is the wedding dress capital of Italy and Europe. Their share of both the Italian and European market has dropped somewhat over the last few years mostly due to cheap imports for China. So be careful at the lower end of the market - you may not be offered a European product.

I can't imagine anybody having information on wedding dresses in different countries unless they are in the wedding dress industry.

In any case, Paris has a whole street of bridal shops -- boulevard de Magenta.

I would go to Italy - but I don't know anything about any district there. I would think you would have to increase your limit to get anything suitable.

It all depends on how "incredible" you want the wedding dress to be, keeping in mind that there are very few people who will pay attention to it from my experience. The men certainly don't give a flying f*** so you need to concentrate on the women. Mother? Future mother-in-law and attached family? Sisters? BFF? Yourself? Are you trying to impress anybody?

I must confess that I (as a man) do not at all understand huge expenses on futile items, especially since most marriages now last only about 10 years at the most. I don't think I have ever seen a man hoping to spend 1500-2000€ on his wedding attire. That's probably what he is hoping that the refreshment budget will be.
