These 10 “Cool Bride” Finds Look Extravagant, But Cost Less Than $500

Whether you’re planning a wedding or keeping a mood board on Pinterest just for fun, you probably already know that getting ready for such a special event can be costly. When shoes, dresses and accessories start at around $1,000 – and I’m not even thinking about the actual cost of the event – things start to add up quickly. But don’t fret about those numbers for now. I’m here to help. Despite getting married a few years ago, I still find myself browsing bridal fashion on a regular basis. Through my searches, I’ve found a lot of great stuff for less than $500. Whether you want a gorgeous, understated or edgy look, there is an option for everyone. After all, everyone deserves to feel luxurious on their special day.

Not only did I pick up pieces from big fashion brands like Staud and Cult Gaia, but I also browsed the pages of affordable retailers like Mango to find beautiful and affordable options. If you’re looking for the “wow” factor, here are 35 options that are perfect for you. Featuring party dresses, veils, shoes and more, this shopping roundup is for the stylish bride. In fact, I may start planning to renew my vows so I have the opportunity to wear some of them myself.
