The hottest affordable wedding dresses online

This last month I have seen literally hundreds, if not thousands, of wedding gowns featured with beautiful photos on web sites all over the Internet. Some are outrageously pricey, while others have been surprisingly inexpensive. I wanted to make a post about the hottest affordable wedding dresses online and gather links to inexpensive wedding gowns that I found the most attractive. But since I have been busy the post has had to wait until now. I hope you enjoy. 

First a recap of how I define an affordable wedding dress. It really doesn’t have that much to do with price as it has with how good the deal is. If you find a cheap wedding dress that is made of the worst of the worst fabrics, looks terrible, and is priced at $59, would you call that an affordable dress? Perhaps, but it wouldn’t fall in to the spirit of what I am trying to provide on this site, which is advice on how to find the best deals for the most beautiful wedding dresses out there. So price really isn’t an issue, especially if you can get a designer wedding dress at 50% off the retail price. 

Of course, affordable also means a price that fits the average wallet. This isn’t a site dedicated to the top “hollywood” wedding dress designers that create dresses that usually start at $3000 and above. But there are great deals out there, and you shouldn’t be surprised if you find affordable designer wedding dresses with prices cut in half, especially if you go hunting for older season’s collections. 

Ok, so lets start of with a great resource for inexpensive wedding gowns. This online shop is best known for their books, and is none other than Amazon. Bare with me, because yes, they do have several wonderfully looking wedding dresses, and their customer service and return policies are top notch. 

 

This first wedding dress is a Formal Evening Gown by Sean Collectionwhich is semi-simple, cheap, and very beautiful. I think it generally is a good idea to go for a less extravagant dress if you are looking for a sub $500 dress, because then most of the money doesn’t go to make all the details and different fabrics you often see on the more cinderella style dresses. At only $139 this Sean Collection wedding dress should be obtainable for just about any wallet. 

The next Amazon wedding dress is made by Lady Roi Bridals and I just find it gorgeous. It is a bit more pricey than the prior dress, but still not outlandishly pricy. 

 

Here is the product page: Lady Roi Bridals Gown. Style No. 8570 

This semi-inexpensive wedding gown goes for $349, but has a list price of almost $800, so I think it i a pretty good deal for this beautiful ball wedding dress. 

There are just so many great deals on the Internet if you do some looking that I can’t list them all here. But, I will try to get some more up on this site on a more regular basis. Now I want to shift focus to some of the designer wedding dress brands out there. Yes, they are extremely pricey, even at a steep discount, but I want to show you what you can get if you do some searching for affordable wedding dresses online. 

Let’s start with one of the top wedding dress designers. Monque Lhullier wedding dresses aren’t gowns you usually link with the word “affordable” or “inexpensive”, and certainly not “cheap”. And that holds true even when you find them at a discount, as prices normally start at around $3-4000 at list. Now, there are two ways of getting a Monique Lhullier wedding gown at a discount, either strike gold by finding an online shop that is running a sale of some kind, or go for a pre-owned wedding dress. I will give you examples of both. 

Bridecouture.com has two Lhullier wedding dresses at the moment at steep discounts. These are completely new wedding dresses: 

“Sydney” Beautiful Monique Lhuillier ivory silk organza gown with stunning butter sash with light gold beading; chapel length train. 

1. An Amy Chantilly lace gown from Monique Lhullier that is in ivory color, with a fit/flare shape. The list price for this dress is almost $4000 but they are selling it for $2290, almost a 50% discount.
2. A beautiful “Sydney” gown for Lhullier, made in ivory silk, with a chapel length train. The list price for this dress is $4100 and Bridecoutore sell it for $2010. That’s more than a 50% discount.

Both dresses can be found here. Both dresses are stunning, and I am sorry I can’t show you the pictures as they are copyrighted. I will see if I can get permission to put them up here, but you can always check them out at the link above. 

Another hot wedding dress designer is Vera Wang. Certainly, a Vera Wang wedding dress can’t be found at an affordable price? Yes they can! Bridepower.com lists a simple, princess, A-line, wedding gown by Vera Wang at only $499, with a list price of $2400. I haven’t been able to figure out if this is a used wedding dress or if it is new, because the description says that it has to be cleaned. This can be do to it being a pre-owned wedding dress, but it can also just mean that it has been in the warehouse for a long time and not been covered up properly. Take this dress to a dry cleaner and it might look as good as new. Here is the link to the dress. Be sure to check out their return policy before shopping their, or any other online wedding dress shop, because there are most likely fees involved if you need to return the dress. 

Now on to one of my favorite sources of cheap wedding dresses. These are used wedding dresses, mind you, but there are few better ways to get a fantastic deal than to buy someone else’s wedding dress. Remember, they have only been used once, and are usually in mint condition. The wedding dress shop I am referring to is preownedweddingdresses.com, and they have an extremely wide selection of affordable designer wedding dresses. 

At the moment their database has over 4000 dresses listed, and if you look at the designers they list, most of the big names are there. Reem Acra wedding dresses, as an example, can be found as low as $499 (the lowest I found, might find something even cheaper), with a list price of over $7000. 

 

There is no doubt that the pre owned wedding dresses shop is a great place to go if you can get past wearing a used dress. On that subject, who will actually know that it is used except you? Not your wedding guests! I think they will instead think to themselves “wow, she looks beautiful in that Reem Acra wedding dress, I want one of those for my OWN wedding”. 

Ok, I better wrap this post up so that I have something to write about in the future. I promise to post more often, as there are just too many beautiful and affordable wedding dresses out there that have to be talked about.
