“Prioritize” seems to be the it verb for weddings on a small budget lately, and for some brides, dresses may not be on the top of their list. Or maybe it is, but you just can’t justify dropping 8k on a dress you will wear for a few hours. More and more engaged couples are becoming more conscious about their wedding spending, and down to earth as far as what really matters to them. Some may want to get that wedding photographer whose work they swoon over, while others prefer having a seated dinner and an open bar all night. Whatever the case may be, I started compiling a list of 10 wedding dresses for under $500 but I found a few extra that caught my eye so I decided to extend it to 15 with a bonus find!

I was looking for something tea-length in plus-sizes, with a bit of a 1950s flair. Can’t believe my luck! It’s made a strong, heavy-weight satin, lots of dress for the money. Thanks for putting it out there that you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to look gorgeous.
Great tips. We have several of these wedding dresses & they’re gorgeous & you can’t beat the prices! I agree with Lara, these would also be great reception (or rehearsal dinner dresses)if you wanted a more formal wedding dress! love it!
The Darling Dress is adorable! It makes me think of Madmen 😀
I love these– they offer so much personality and style. Gorgeous.
Great dresses. I had mine designed just for me. Here it is https://www.mybigfatbeautifulwedding.com/irena.htm it’s a gorgeous lace dress and it fits my personality like a dream. I really like that Rohm 2 piece dress what a good idea to wear the bodice again maybe over a black velvet skirt?
