Affordable Wedding Dress Ideas Attitudes towards wedding-dress shopping are changing fast. Even pre-pandemic, many brides were moving towards a more modern and sustainable approach, either choosing casual outfit that they would be able to wear again or opting for more affordable alternatives, rather than choosing to spend thousands on a dress they would only wear once. And, with the year we have had, these changes have only been exaggerated. The pandemic has resulted in, for the moment, smaller weddings, but more broadly, it has also encouraged brides to find their wedding dresses online and through virtual appointments.
I think it is fair to say that the pandemic has changed the way people shop, invest in certain aspects of their wedding and navigate planning.
And, for many, these changes have encouraged brides to opt for more affordable alternatives when it comes to choosing a wedding dress. If you are hoping to keep costs down, then there are more options than ever – the high street has moved into the wedding market in recent years, while there are plenty of beautiful bridal-worthy designer dresses that sit under the £1,000 price tag. It's also useful to check the sales and trunk shows for affordable takes on dresses that may usually cost far more.
So, from H&M to Jacquemus, Cecile Bahnsen and Self-Portrait, here are some beautiful affordable wedding dresses to consider for your big day:
