Pictures of Bridal Dresses under $1000.00
Dresses submitted by the PW community! (community article)
I know there are a lot of brides out there on a budget (including a newly engaged friend of mine!), so I thought it would be fun to start a thread of PW brides posting pictures of their under $1,000 dresses.
Here's my Watters 1048b:
madison (for the canadian brides out there , richmangroup.com)

maggie sottero...
Mine is from Allure and was $700ish. Don't ask about my veil, fascinator, and alts!
My biggest piece of advice is stick to your budget- there are a lot of beautiful dresses for less than $1000. I only made appointments at shops that carried a selection of dresses in my price range and I made sure that the ladies in the store knew that I didn't want to see anything that was about my limit.
Alfred Angelo $100 purchased from a previous bride who only wore it for a few hours!
Anjolique 2054, it's so far my favorite and I've seen it for $900.
Mine was Oleg Cassini... $650!!!
These are all great, something for everyone in every range :)
Mountainbride and WWJ: I love love your gowns!!!
Here's mine.... an Allure Gown that I got from last years leftover designs, cost: $250 a real steal! Simple and elegant!
$850, got on sale for $750!! Thinking of getting that purple one for my bridesmaids, but in the blue color of the other dress.
Nicole Miller $595!
300$$ exactly what i wanted :)
My $280 Milly Bridal dress! :)
My $599 dress from David's Bridal!



I paid $1024 (including shipping and changing the neckline to a scoop neckline). I am now selling it (yano.. due to a cancelled wedding and all..). Anyone interested in buying?? It's a size 16 and is made for me to wear with flats, I'm 5'8". Gimme an offer =) I have no idea what I want to ask.
Okay, I'm obviously clueless about this: where do you find all these sample dresses??? They're much cheaper than the actual prices! I almost had to fan myself and make sure I was reading correctly...
Between now and mid-january is a great time to buy because stores want to sell their older season samples before the new 2010 spring samples arrive.
Good Luck!
I think mine was $700?
Here's the sash I had made & the bustle from my first fitting:
OMG ladies you all look beautiful!!! I'm trying on dresses on saturday for the first time and am getting some inspiration from you all!
