My Cheap Wedding Dress

With a £250 budget, I needed to find a cheap wedding dress for my wedding! I knew this would be a bit of challenge, so I set about finding all the great places to find cheap dresses.

A further challenge was that Stuart, my fiancé, and I had been learning Argentine tango for a couple of years and we really wanted to do a tango for our first dance. There are loads of kicks and leg lifts in tango, so I needed a dress that would allow me this flexibility. We love the tango, so my dress had to fit around that too.

I had two options, either a short, knee length dress or a slinky number with a big split up the side. Being of a more modest nature, I decided to opt for a knee length dress.

They suit my body shape better and are a little more flattering on my wobbly bits! Luckily, opting for a shorter dress was also good for my budget. Quite simply, less material equals less cost.

It also gave the option of bridesmaid's dresses and prom-style dresses - all of which come in white and other white/cream shades and best of all, they tend to be cheaper.

In the end I found a vintage style, cheap wedding dress from Monsoon for £225; it fitted both me (so no alterations needed) and my budget. The perfect wedding dress for me - I was quite chuffed with that.

A few years on and knowing what I know about the amount of dresses you can buy online, I would probably have done that. There are literally hundreds of eBay sellers out there selling dresses for under £150. Even if it wasn't quite right, I would have just sold the dress back on eBay and tried again.
