Affordable Wedding Dresses - 1920s

Clara Bow Wedding Dress: Affordable Wedding Dresses - 1920s


So I've already done a Great Gatsby inspired Affordable Wedding Dresses post before but this is less flapper and more classic, long wedding dresses with a twenties feel, like Clara Bow's dress above.

Anita Page: Affordable Wedding Dresses - 1920s

1920s wedding dresses are very popular at the moment, partly due to the release of The Great Gatsby film but also because the decadence and style of the era is ideal for weddings. I've found a few lovely twenties-themed dresses, including a genuine vintage 1920s wedding dress, which are all affordable.


Vintage Ivory Cowl Wedding Dress - Elliot Claire


Vintage Cowl Wedding Dress: Affordable Wedding Dresses - 1920s

I featured an Elliot Claire dress last week on my affordable green wedding dresses post. I'd only seen the company on Not On The High Street before but I've now realised that they have a website with a lot more lovely dresses. If you want to waste an afternoon check it out. This dress is one of their wedding gowns. It has a twenties/thirties feel to it with the draped front and back.

Margot Dress - Ruche


Short Ruche Wedding Dress: Affordable Wedding Dresses - 1920s

I had to include one short flapper-style dress on the list. This Ruche wedding dress has a Gatsby style that's mixed with the feel of a dainty tea dress. It's perfect for a garden or summer wedding.

Somerset by Alice Temperley Beaded Dress in Dove - John Lewis


Somerset by Alice Temperley Beaded Dress: Affordable Wedding Dresses - 1920s

This grey dress provides the chance to wear an Alice Temperley dress to your wedding without paying the huge price tag of a Temperley bridal gown. The Alice Temperley Somerset collection for John Lewis offers a more affordable selection of Temperley clothes, including this lovely grey dress.

Grey is a little unusual for a wedding but it's a really lovely, soft option. This dress is a long flapper style with beaded embellishments.
