Y’all, as someone who was on a mission not to spend more than $1,000 on a wedding dress myself, I appreciate how truly difficult such a task can be! At many of the bridal shops I went to, it seemed like prices started around $1,500 and just kept going up, up, up from there. Even at David’s Bridal, which touts itself as being an affordable option, many of the dresses were out of my budget. If you’re lucky enough to stumble across a sample sale or score an already-loved version of your dream gown, you can definitely find a great deal. Or, you can check out the awesome finds below, which are all under $1,000 completely new! Brides recently published a slideshow of 44 such dresses, and the eight featured below are my favorites from their selection.
“Ines” by Tadashi Shoji, $700 Style 2752F by Allure Romance, $618 Style T670 by Moonlight Tango, $795 After Six, $690 “Rupp” by Stone Cold Fox, $550 “Penelope” by Love Marley by Watters, $970 “Corrine” by Sue Wong, $629 “Livia” by Badgley Mischka, $800
What do you think, belles? Are you loving any of these? If I haddddd to pick a favorite, I think it would be Penelope by Love Marley…so romantic and flattering and sexy all at the same time!
