How to Save Money and Shop for an Affordable Wedding Dress

In my case, I would keep the dress as is, but even if you decide to get some small alterations done, it would still save you tons of money. Also, there is nothing more special than rewearing your mom’s gown. Below are some older wedding dresses that you can find on Queenly. I can think of some great alterations to transform these dresses or even to keep as is!

Who says a wedding dress has to be a certain color, or style, or length. Choosing a different and unique dress from the ordinary ones we see at most weddings can also save you tons of money. Not only that, it will make your day one of a kind. So maybe go for that ivory dress, or the short one instead! Here are some unique dresses I found on Queenly that I think would make great choices.

As your favorite TV commercials like to say, “we live in challenging times”. Many brides are opting for smaller, less extravagant weddings this year. Thankfully, this means you won’t have to splurge on an enormous ball gown, and instead you have a variety of options, from simple lace dresses, to long sleeve satin gowns. Checkout some “dressed down” but very elegant options below, for a perfect bridal look without breaking the bank!
