What better way to celebrate Friday than with some vegan-friendly wedding dress viewing? This time I picked affordable wedding dresses under $500. Pin to your heart’s content, dumplings!
Bohemian bride:
Free People Studded Lace Party Dress, $300
Wear a wildflower crown over a loose braid, and say your vows in an open field at sunset. 95% Cotton and 5% Nylon.
Glamorous bride:
Sue Wong beaded and embroidered dress with deep V back, $510
Okay, so I cheated a bit and went $10 over budget, but I couldn’t resist. Match the opulence of the Art-Deco mansion and wear this intricate, glamorous dress. Think romantic but luxurious: chandeliers, gladiolus, lilies, etc. Nylon. Fully beaded.
Modern bride:
“Leighton” dress in cream by Frock LA, $270
Let your body do the talking in this body-con stunner. Perfect for an art gallery wedding followed by an intimate, candlelit dinner reception. Calla lilies not included. 95% bamboo and 5% Spandex. Made with 100% non toxic vegetable dyes.
Romantic bride:
Oleander lace sheath, $168
This reminds me of 60’s Sicilian romance. Wear your hair in a center part with low, voluminous bun, or loose waves, and channel your inner Southern Italian bella donna. Cotton and polyester lace dress with light mint underlay
Isn’t this so pretty or what?!
Retro Bride:
Jayna Cotton blend Jacquard Lace Dress, $550 by Alice + Olivia
(Overbudget again! but $50 is a worthy investment, right?) Wear a teased French twist, red lips, little wrist-length gloves, and your cutest pointy-toe pumps. With the money you save from the dress, book a vintage cab in pastel, and drive away in style!
Sophisticated bride:
Sleeveless illusion neckline dress, $370, by Tadashi Shoji
You are more subtle than sultry. “Elegance is simplicity” is your mantra. Wear this elegant piece by dress master Tadashi Shoji with a chignon, rose-y lips and cheeks, and your signature jewelry that you wear everyday–because you’re getting married, not abandoning your personal style.
Shabby-chic Bride:
Lulu wedding dress with 3D organza flowers, L250 by Phase Eight
If you’re having a garden wedding with lots of homemade touches and baby’s breath sprays, this lovely textured dress fits perfectly. Nylon.
