Show me your budget dresses!

I do not want to spend more than $500 on my wedding dress (definitely buying off the rack) and I wanted to see pictures of all of your beautiful bargain dresses so I don't feel so stressed about not being able to find a winner at a good price!

    You should periodically check out eBay for sample dress sales. I found a 2016 Rosa Clara two one I was in love with and never thought I could afford for $300 including shipping. It's insane how much cheaper that is than in a bridal store.

    I bought an "evening gown" for $205. It was on clearance at a wedding dress shop. No pictures of me in it, but here it is on the hanger Smiley smile

    Oh girl, you can do it! I had a $500 budget. I bought my dress, which was a sample, from www.preownedweddingdresses.com for $130. Alterations were $250. Under budget, and I had a beautiful gown. Took some elbow grease, not gonna lie! Good luck to you!

    Found the exact dress that I never thought I could afford on a swap shop for $50. Tags still on it. I'm so in love with it.

    Found mine for $300 +tax in downtown LA. It was actually in a bridesmaids boutique and they had a total of 10 bridal gowns. Picked one out and fell in love with it! I don't have a picture of me with it on, but here's one I found online. You just have to try your luck with boutiques and areas/online stores you know that will sell them for cheap. Also check out sample sales and monthly deals for chain stores like Davids Bridal and Alfred Angelo. These dresses are out there!

    Check out preowned wedding dress sites. Lots of people sell unaltered samples and dresses they never wore

    My dress had originally been $3800 and I got it for $300! I'm not sure where you are, but there's a charity bridal shop in Lynchburg, VA that sells donated sample gowns from high-end boutiques. The selection was incredible and the money all goes to domestic violence victims! I felt so happy finding such a beautiful dress and knowing my money was going to a good cause Smiley smile

    Less than $200. It's technically a bridesmaids dress. I ordered it in ivory.
