Brides on a modest budget can still find a beautiful dress for their wedding day. I’m a thrifty woman who adores elegant fashion. If you don’t want to break the bank on a dress you’ll wear for just one day (or maybe you’d find a special occasion or holiday to wear these again!) Check out these lovely dresses and gowns.

Kohl’s Women’s Chaps Surplice Drape-front, full-length dress: $90. I have this evening gown in two different colors. I actually bought it last year for about $60 on sale. God bless Ralph Lauren for making beautiful flattering gowns to fit every woman’s shape. This gown looks fabulous even on women whose bodies have been ravaged by childbirth.

Chadwick’s Short Sleeve Lace Overlay Dress, #42980, $59.99-$69.99. Available in white. Great for a simple ceremony or a small, intimate wedding.

We have three suitable dresses from JC Penney. I’ve found Penneys usually has some kind of coupon code to save even more

B Smart Sleeveless Sheath Dress Web ID: 2210691. $99.99. Color cream or gold-cream. This is a floor-length gown in junior sizes so you would have to order a larger size. Consult the chart.

Melrose Sleeveless Sheath Dress Web ID: 2293274. $66.99. Color ivory butter. Lovely dress for a simple garden wedding.

Ronni Nicole Bell Sleeve Shift Dress Web ID: 2293254. $66.99. Gorgeous knee-length dress with romantic flowing, bell-shaped sleeves.

Complete the look with an inexpensive headpiece. Available at Amazon, you can find white floral wedding crown wreaths for a Bohemian look, many under $15. How about a pretty, decorative hair comb or flower to accent your hair style? Or consider this simple white veil with attached comb — only $6.90 at Amazon.

Construction of our new wedding center begins in April, as soon as the road bans are lifted. Brambleberry can accommodate intimate weddings for under $1,000 in May or June this year. In July we will be all ready to host weddings for up to 400 of your closest friends or family. Visit our wedding pages for more information.
