{Advice} Budget bridal gown files

I have a few go-to places where I look for budget bridal gowns for the $550 looks featured on here, and also when brides frantically email me looking for something to fit their budgets.

I decided it's not fair that I keep this information to myself, only divulging it when asked. So here it is: My budget bridal gown files.

{No. 1: Dolly Couture; Santa Anita dress pictured} 

I love that Dolly has tons of dresses for under $600 and has custom options (including getting the dress made to fit your measurements, adding unique touches, and doing a completely custom dress). Also, Dolly Couture accepts returns, for extra security (though some restrictions apply).

Dolly Couture's wedding gowns are all vintage-inspired, which, as you probably know, makes my heart happy.

{No. 2: Ruche; Tiffany dress pictured}

I love Ruche's new bridal line! It comes complete with some of the most gorgeous ultra-budget friendly dresses I've ever seen! (Think under $100!) Also, Ruche accepts free returns (restrictions apply, check policy for details). Ruche has something to offer for everyone, from ballgowns to knee-length beauties like the one pictured.

The only drawback to Ruche's bridal line is the inability to customize. Since some of their dresses only come in small, medium, large, etc. sizes, this may be a deal breaker for brides with curvier bodies.

Ruffled has been my favorite wedding blog for a long time, and when they launched their shop I nearly passed out with excitement. That said, this shop has kept its special place in my heart by continuing to offer reasonable prices, custom options (alterations, or totally custom dresses), and free returns (restrictions may apply). I also am in love, as usual, with the old-world elegance of these wedding dresses.

First reason French Knot is fabulous: It's LOCAL! I love supporting local business, and this one is nestled right in the Seattle area. Beautiful. I also love the vintage-inspired gown designs and the low prices with all of the dresses being under $500.

French Knot Couture also creates the dresses to your measurements, and accepts returns (again, read policy for details as restrictions may apply).
