How to have a beautiful wedding day look all under 950 dollars!!! For serious!!!!

 

I am the first to admit that I love me some designer gowns, buuuuut I am also a realist. I understand that not everyone can drop 6,000 dollars on a gown. And I fully believe that you can shop on a budget and still have an AH-mazing wedding gown. For some reason stores like David’s Bridal have this stigma attached to them which I totally don’t understand! I mean, you can style a $12,000 gown to make it look cheap... and I fully believe that you can take a 500 dollar gown and make it look like a million bucks. Aaaannnnnd, if people wanna be haters than they don’t need to be invited to your wedding. So here are a few of my favorite gowns styled up to make you look super fancy. All under 950 dollars!!! Seriously, you are gonna look hot.

See! It’s so incredibly easy to look super chic on a budget. You can still have fancy shoes or handmade earrings, you just have to to be picky! Make sure that you are styling yourself to look like a million bucks!!! Nothing “cheap” here, look for up-and-coming jewelry designers on Etsy, you can get an amazing product for unbelievable prices.

Until we meet again, stay bridal and don’t be a label snob, you could really miss out on beautiful things you can actually afford...
