These Gorgeous Wedding Dresses Are £1,000 And Under
Affordable wedding dresses… are they a myth? Weddings are notoriously expensive, and while it’s often thought that finding the dream dress, the one that lives up to all your expectations, means spending an exorbitant amount of money, that’s no longer true. Finding beautiful and affordable wedding dresses has become easier than ever, as the bridal industry has been evolving (albeit slowly) for some time now, and caters to brides-to-be who don’t want to spend a four – or five – figure sum on a gown.
We have seen a flurry of ready-to-wear designers introduce dedicated bridal capsules, and even more labels embracing wedding-worthy pieces within their main collections – whether that be with traditional gowns or an expertly-cut slip dress that feels just as romantic.
And if you haven’t yet, it’s time to consider the playful elegance of a minidress (think Sharon Tate, Mia Farrow, Lily Allen and Charlotte Casiraghi who all opted for a shorter style when they tied-the-knot). While most conventional brides will gravitate towards a floor-length gown this is a style that is often easier on the wallet, will get plenty of mileage in your wardrobe (the mini hemline is big news for spring/summer 2022), making it a no-brainer investment.
Our other tip? Seek out young bridal labels whose vision for bridalwear is to make it less intimidating, more accessible, and crucially, that bit cooler. The best thing about these gowns? Most can be reworn long after your wedding day and don’t require long ordering times. From a strapless crêpe gown with curved seams, designed to enhance in all the right places, to sweet and delicate layers of romantic tulle, shop British Vogue’s edit of affordable wedding dresses below.
