Yes, You Can Find a Pretty Wedding Dress Under $1,000
Here are 11, for starters
An Asymmetrical Neckline
FYI: Shoulder cutouts are huge right now. And that applies to bridal as well.
J.Crew ($595)
A High Neckline
Actually, shoulder statements of any kind are huge right now.
Reformation ($588)
An Illusion Neckline
Word to the wise: Sheer straps hint at being trendy while keeping a softer, romantic look.
Watters ($975)
A Simple Lace Column
Then again, you can never go wrong with all-over lace.
Tadashi Shoji ($700)
A Simple Strapless Column
Same goes for standard sweetheart chiffon.
Jenny Yoo ($850)
A Ball Gown (that Isn't Boring)
Not all full skirts are obnoxious. Laser-cut floral embroidery keeps this one on the chic side.
White by Vera Wang ($900)
A Ruffled Bustle
Just imagine it out on the dance floor….
Badgley Mischka ($1,000)
A Short Dress (with Sleeves)
Ladies with serious leg game: This sophisticated little number may be right up your aisle.
David’s Bridal ($200)
A Midi Dress
If you’re in the market for a tea length, we recommend shopping outside traditional bridal stores. You’ll find far more modern cuts elsewhere.
Ted Baker ($695)
A Shirt Dress
City Hall brides: Go bold or go home.
Anthropologie ($495)
A Jumpsuit
And last but not least: One of the fastest-rising trends in wedding dresses isn’t a dress at all…it's pants.
