A Dress For Every Budget

Within the world of bridal wear there are thousands upon thousands of dresses, with a variety of styles, materials, and prices. The wedding dress is the usually most important fashion purchase in a woman's life and so there is most often a budget that a bride is comfortable to stay within. Have you every wondered what you would get for those budgets though? The possibilities of price within a certain style can vary by thousands of dollars. It is completely dependent of the designer, quality of materials and style. For this blog I wanted to compile a variety of dresses within different price brackets, but with a similar look. It could take hours upon hours to find dresses of the same silhouette that have the same amount of lace, crystal, and appliques, but I have done my best to compare similar designs. I have taken some of the most common popular styles and included 5 of each. The prices range from less than $600.00 to more than $5000.00 and come from a variety of designers. I hope that this paints a picture of what the high price tag can get you, which is usually just a more avant garde design with higher quality materials.
While comparing these dresses I realized that the inexpensive dresses most often appealed to me more than the high end version of the same thing.  It is also fun to think that if the price categories were not listed that it is difficult to tell which design is more expensive. This really does show that more money doesn't always mean a more attractive design and that a dream gown can be attainable for the bride who thought she couldn't afford it.

Enjoy the beauty and feel free to share your thoughts!
