Brides, I’m here to tell you that you can look fabulous in an affordable wedding gown; just because you are a “budget-bride” doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style! To prove my point, I’ve prepared a list of five gorgeous wedding gowns under $1400. You’ll likely only wear your wedding gown once, so do you really want to spend thousands on it? Let me show you a few statement gowns at a reasonable price that will help you save money and wow your guests!
But before I go any further, here are a few solid pieces of advice to help keep you within budget:
- First, figure out your budget, and then determine to stick to it – do this before you try on wedding dresses!
- Go to a bridal store to try the various gown styles and see which ones fit you the best, especially if you insist on having the “bridal boutique” experience!
- Ask yourself a few questions; go into the appointment prepared. Are you an off-the-shoulder type of bride, or do you like high-neck, backless gowns? Does a gown with a high slit make you feel gorgeous, or are you looking for a gown with statement sleeves? Are you large busted? If so, what style of dress best suits your body type?
- Then, walk away from the boutique! Often, you will be steered towards dresses that are out of your budget. Don’t let it happen! Take the knowledge you’ve learned about the style of dress that works best for you, and do some online research before you purchase!

Additionally, many of these dress sellers allow a gown fitting in their store, or you can have them shipped to you to “try on!” The stigma of buying a wedding gown online is no longer (unless you are buying from an untrusted website!).
