Inexpensive Wedding Dresses
The Dress of your Dreams for Less

Every bride can look amazing on her wedding day with our tips for inexpensive wedding dresses.

The most important thing is for a bride to LOVE her dress. It must be comfortable and easy to wear, like this dress from Sandals and it doesn't have to cost a fortune.

Affordable Wedding Dresses

• Keep the style simple to reduce cost. Modern wedding dresses don't have to have lots of layers and a sleek elegant design can even be tailor made for far less than you might think.

• If a designer wedding dress is a must-have, try EBAY for end of lines or used wedding dresses. After all, you only wear a wedding dress once so why pay a fortune for a designer dress when that cost alone could pay for your honeymoon?

• Why not rent a dress? There are some fabulous dress available to hire and at a great price compared to paying for the same dress new.

• Having a beach wedding? You can probably buy a gorgeous wedding dress straight off the peg in a department store.

Does your dress have to be white or ivory?

There is a big trend for colored wedding dresses right now and that means you can have a complete choice of off the peg dresses in department stores and specialist dress shops rather than paying a premium at bespoke wedding stores.

Pink wedding dresses are especially popular as pale shades of pink can look just as virginal as cool ivory and off white.

And if you're a lover of black, then the gothic bride can look fabulous in an inexpensive black wedding dress. It may not be customary but as long as the bride loves her dress that's all that matters.

Summer Wedding Dresses

Summer weddings mean sunshine requiring cooler, lighter fabrics and less layers.

Save money by opting for simple wedding dresses without long trains or even short wedding dresses which take less fabric and therefore cost less!

Tea length wedding dresses are popular for an informal look and it's possible to find dresses in non specialist wedding stores so look around.
