Wedding Dresses Under $750

I only paid $500 for mine and was not willing to go over $600.

I went to a sample sale at a local bridal shop called The White Room, and when I found my Maggie Sottero Dress, it had a $1800 tag, I paid $300 for it. It's all about giving yourself options and being open to things you normally wouldn't try! I am in love with my dress and so glad I found it because my budget started at $500.

@carissa What a beautiful dress

$640 ish

also a 2nd dress----loooong story. But my first dress wasn't too much more than this one surprisingly.

$300 for dress, $200 for veuls, alterations $100

$700 with the belt

Sample sales and Davids Bridal will probably be your best options! It's definitely doable, as PP have proven! You could also check out non-traditional stores, like a department store, for a white/ivory evening gown. So many of them look like wedding gowns but they are 1/4 or less of the price of a brand wedding gown would be.

These are just a handful of white bridal-looking evening gowns available at Macy's, most of them for way under $650.

Got mine from DB, off clearance rack, regular 650, paid 220, I love it and it fits perfectly

My dress was $650-$700, not counting veil and adding the bustle (which is one the picture was taken) but I just saw online it's been marked down to under $600. It can be done, as long as you keep your eyes open for sales

Mine was $689 (alterations was an extra $400)

@Lizzy L. You are the 2nd person I've ever seen with the same dress! Looks gorgeous on you!

$500 including alterations

$80 on ModCloth!

Mine was a Davids Bridal online flash sale deal - right at $400. I snagged a slip and corset also on sale, plus shoes from TJ Maxx ... other than a headpiece and jewelry, I've spent $530-ish so far.

@futuremrsddub, I think we are dress twins! I LOVE the lace n that dress is lightweight compared to others

My dress was 200. I loved it that's all that matters. You can find a beautiful dress for under your budget if you look in the right places! Best wishes

Only look at dresses in your budget so you won't love one you can't afford. And shop around until you get the "bride" feeling.

This thread is so inspiring! I found my original dress at David's Bridal for $450, it was a simple but pretty ivory tulle ballgown. Unfortunately it was taken in too much at alterations so that it was unwearable, but the managers worked with me and got me my money back, thank God! At that point, I only had a month to find a new dress, which is too little time for most shops.

I found two beautiful dresses on Ebay instead - the first dress is a lovely 16 year old dress with loads of beautiful details for $70. I prefer vintage styles, anyway, so this was more fun for me.

The second is a beautiful fitted former David's Bridal dress for $55.

I plan to wear both dresses at my wedding, the more elaborate dress for the ceremony, and the more fitted dress for the reception. So definitely don't rule out Ebay or used wedding gowns after trying on the expensive gowns as inspiration - these dresses were both in near-perfect, wearable condition - all they needed was ironing!
