"A budget lets you decide what's worth spending your money on"

Getting married costs money. The consequences of covid-19 might have made your budget even a bit more limited or might have inspired you to keep it modest given the circumstances. Either way, a wedding dress is a big expense among many. The dress itself takes up to 15% out of the total bridal budget. How important is this (dream) dress to you, and what budget are you willing to spend on it? Don't let the price tags of some dresses scare you off for your big day, we have some top-to-toe outfits ready for you, all under 1000 euros (yes, including jewelry!)

Bohemian vibes : Delphine Manivet and La Redoute have collaborated again this year and launched a budget-proof wedding dress. If you opt for the traditional long white dress and you're a fan of bohemian vibes, this dress is definitely for you! The finish with English embroidery makes the dress elegant, the playful details keep it fun and relax. We paired the dress with fine silver jewelry and a classic sandal. You may not have a traditional reception with a dance party and big dinner in the next few months due to you know what, but that will definitely not be noticeable from your outfit. This is a text-book example of a sophisticated yet playful bridal look.

Wear the pants : Some brides dream of their long white wedding gown from a young age, but maybe this is not the case for you. Do you not see yourself in that standard bridal picture with a classic dress? Then maybe you are more a rebellious jumpsuit kind of bride! An elegant yet cool out of the box option, but above all, feminine and practical. There are several styles on the market, like this eye stopper with wide legs made out of lace. Complete the look with a comfy slip-on, seamless underwear and sober yet powerful silver jewels.

A pop of color to stand out : For the real statement divas among us, you can spice things up with a pop of color. Whether you want to go for a glitter pump or a metallic sandal, there are endless options! Pimp a simple cocktail dress with a blush-nude pink heel and rose-gold jewelry. This is a playful option to step away from traditional white or beige and silver and gold. And perhaps to make the wedding night a little more interesting, you can throw on a more colorful lingerie ensemble in flaming tones of red combined with sweet shades of pink.

The beauty of simplicity : Maybe you find it too crazy for words to buy a dress for one day and then never wear it again. Or maybe you want to get married quickly without the fuzz and just sign the papers in your local town hall. Small celebration this year, big part next year? For these intimate wedding celebrations, you can opt for a more casual dress and finish the look with accessories. The perfect outfit to keep for another festive occasion.
