wedding dresses
It’s no secret that planning a wedding can get very expensive, very quickly — in 2016, The Knot reported that the average cost of a wedding was $35,329, a jump of over $2,000 from the year before. And if you live in an area like New York, you know that the average cost is even higher than that. Between the venue, the vendors, the honeymoon, and all of the little details, everything adds up fast. Oh, and then there’s the wedding dress, which can easily set you back thousands of dollars. That often doesn’t even include the cost of alterations or accessories, like shoes and jewelry. Because of the price, many brides are in search of wedding dresses that are more affordable. Can you blame them?
A classic white ball gown is always going to be pretty pricey, so if you’re looking for something affordable and cheaper, chances are good that you’re also hunting for something that is more unique. Unusual wedding dresses are having a moment as brides step away from staying super traditional, which is really fun — and bonus, they’re often a lot easier on your bank account. A lot of online boutiques and even some fast fashion shops are getting in on the wedding gown market, proving that you don’t need to spend a lot to look fantastic.
Here are a few unusual wedding dresses that you’ll be able to afford:
