“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!
