Gorgeous, Alternative Wedding Dresses Under $500

You don't have to spend your entire budget on your dress to feel beautiful. There are many cheaper options that won't break the bank and are just as nice. One way to find dresses for less is to look outside the wedding section. As you probably already know, many things that are labeled wedding really should be labeled "I'm just the same as what's over there in the regular dress section, but twice as expensive - for fun." Another way to find great dresses in all colors and styles is to think less mainstream. Scour Ebay, Etsy, and the general internet. Pay attention to seller reviews, of course, and you may find a reputable, untapped source or an up-and-coming designer looking to just get their name out there. Here are a few options, all under $500.
