Help me find a wedding dress on a budget

Lolarose999 · 01/11/2023 17:00

Just as the title says, can anyone help with any high street/ affordable wedding dresses? Max budget is £200, I've seen some dresses I love, but would like some input from those of you who have worn high street versions.

For reference, im 5ft 6 and a size 10. I'd say I'm more pear shaped with a small bust. I'd prefer not to have anything without a sleeve of some sort, as I previously lost alot of weight and have some loose skin.

Here is something I like, but not sure if it's too boxy: https://www.jdwilliams.co.uk/shop/joanna-hope-beaded-bridal-maxi-dress/WI499/product/details/show.action?pdBoUid=9010&optionColour=Ivory&optionSize=22&promo=6202&gclid=CjwKCAjw7oeqBhBwEiwALyHLM5H_YS-yD1RGbkjDO2jCEvKxD5sCyLqnU7fAVVCV9jhIQYxalhAkqRoCw9cQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Catherine Deane often have stuff on sale. They also do slightly alternative bridal looks like skirts/tops/suits/shorter length dresses

Not sure where you are based but just in case, there is a dress seller in Ayrshire that sells designer dresses cheaper - Facebook page is j'taime bridal wear!

I assume you've looked on ebay, vinted and preloved? I bought my designer dress off ebay for a fraction of the cost new.

Oxfam sell second hand prom and wedding dresses. You can pick up a good one for less than £100.

The one I linked, is now out of stock 🙄 I've seen one below: which is £125

Not sure if this helps you but a friend of mine went to a wedding/bridal fair (like at Olympia, a conference centre) and got a stunning dress for a bargain price.
