Lovley Wedding Wear, on the cheap!

Wedding dresses can be much simpler than you might think. Going non-traditional can save you some big bucks and leave more room for your personality to shine through on your wedding day. A simple white sundress can suffice quite nicely for a quaint outdoor summer wedding, just think about spending less than $100 and having something you can wear again. Every time you throw it on you'll be reminded of that blissful day.

I have gathered the best white (and off white) dresses from all of my favorite webshops. There are some for all sorts of weddings and all sorts of brides...


#1 The beige chiffon Sunday dress from Ruche. Ok so it's not quite white, but it has a wonderful antique feel and would be an adorable dress for a small ceremony with your closest friends and family.

#2 embossed cotton lorelei dress from JCrew.I am a big fan of JCrew, although they do not typically fall into my clothing budget, I still enjoy their bright colors and classic designs from a distance. They have beautiful wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses, but if you are looking to spend a little less just take a look at their regular line of dresses. This strapless dress is so simple and classy, and the airy fabric would be so comfortable on a hot summer day.

#3 cotton poplin sydney dress from JCrew. Another classy number from JCrew. This one has a flattering fit and is perfect to wear over and over again. The color is actually called light pewter, so it's not white but it is so soft and lovely I had to include it.
#4 plaster & panes dress form Anthropologie. Oh Anthropologie, I just love this place. Everything is so pretty and inspiring. This dress is just gorgeous, creamy color, soft textures, simple + cute silhouette.
#5 Primorska dress from Anthropologie. Another beauty. I love the texture on the bodice of this dress and the subtle design on the skirt. There is actually a lot going on with this one but in a very endearing way, certainly not overdone! I love it!
