When it comes to wedding dress budgets, the sky is pretty much the limit. And it's easy to get sucked in by all the pretty when you see an ad {or—guilty—a blog post } with a $20,000 wedding dress. But the good news is you don't have to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a gorgeous wedding gown. Here are some designers with more reasonably priced options. (One of the dresses below is on sale for $99. $99!)
Designers With Wedding Dresses for Less Than $650
Tulle Over Chiffon High Low Dress with Bow Accent (Style WG3619), $99.
Satin Mermaid Wedding Dress with Beaded Neckline, $649.99.
MELISSA SWEET FOR DAVID'S BRIDAL
Lacquered Lace Ball Gown with Illusion Neckline (Style MS251030), $499.99.
Designers With Wedding Dresses for Less Than $1,500
I included exact prices when I had 'em, but designers who sell through boutiques don't give exact pricing info, since the boutiques set the prices.
Obviously $1,500—or even $650—is still a ton of money for a single-use item, and there are loads of great options if you want to buy a white dress that's not a "wedding" dress. Here are 25 wedding dresses (and wedding dress alternatives) that are all less than $300.
