How Much Are Affordable Wedding Gowns Typically?

Before you embark on your gown shopping journey, let’s cover pricing. If you’re looking at the “affordable wedding dress” category, plan to budget for styles in the $900 to $1500 range. This is our sweet spot: top quality gowns that don’t annihilate your wedding budget, especially considering all the other ways wedding celebrations can get expensive!

While we have plenty of options in this price range, keep in mind that a price you see on a tag or online doesn’t cover your full gown budget. Other items to consider for your budget include:

• Personalizations like fabric changes, embellishments, and neckline variations
• Accessories like bridal veils, overskirts, and trains
• Undergarments like shapewear, special bras, and tights
• Jewelry like necklaces, tiaras, and earrings
• Shoes for your ceremony, reception, and the dance floor
• Taxes and fees for any purchases 
• Delivery fees
• Alterations

To cover your bases, try to budget 1.5x or 2x the original price tag, e.g. a $900 wedding gown may be one part of a $1350 to $1800 “total look” cost. Of course, don’t forget to budget for your sweetheart’s wedding ensemble!

Our Rebecca Ingram and Maggie Sottero collections are what brides choose when they want high-quality, budget wedding dresses. Keep scrolling for our picks!
