The 20 Best Places to Shop for Affordable Wedding Dresses

Getting ready for your big day is stressful enough, so why spend your entire paycheck on a dress you’ll (probably) wear only once? According to The Knot, the average amount of money spent on a wedding gown is around $1,600, but more and more brides are searching for affordable wedding dresses for their walk down the aisle. What you spend is completely up to you, of course — it’s your day, after all — but if you are looking to save a little money, you’re in luck. More retailers and labels than ever are offering affordable options that leave you looking like a million bucks without spending it.

We’ve rounded up some of our favorite places to shop for wedding dresses online with myriad options priced well below $1,000 (the benchmark we’re using for this roundup) to make finding your dream gown a breeze. There’s more to choose from than you might think, including brands that prioritize inclusive size ranges (as they should) and propose special deals through online sample sales and even rental choices.

Even if you’re on the tightest of budgets, you deserve to say “yes” to the dress — even if you can’t afford an appointment at Kleinfeld Bridal. Read on for some of the very best places to snag the dress of your dreams — a.k.a. the cherry on top to a wondrous day.

If you’re open to a two-piece situation, the ASOS Edition Curve Fleur Embellished Crop Top Wedding Dress ($125) offers the tiniest of peekaboos. Can you feel the lace — err, love — tonight? The trendy shop also offers accessories and even lingerie to go with your perfect dress.
