cost of wedding dress: a price dilemma

My mom wants to pay for my wedding dress and my accessories, which I really appreciate.  However, we haven't talked about price range.  I can't think of a good way to bring it up because I don't want to seem ungrateful.  But at the same time, I don't want any awkward moments in the bridal store if I pick out a dress that is more expensive than what she was planning on spending.

Also, the dress is really important to me.  I really want the *perfect* dress, and I wouldn't mind covering the extra cost.  Would it be rude to offer covering the remaining cost if I pick a dress that is out of her price range?  Once again, I don't want to seem ungrateful.

I would appreciate any advice you can offer.  Thank you!
