Affordable Wedding Dresses - Crochet

Bear with me; I know that when most people think of crochet, granny blankets spring to mind. But crochet can actually be delicate and stylish and it can look great in a wedding dress, as shown by LeAnn Rimes' wedding brunch crochet dress. You can either go for a fully crocheted dress or select one with just a touch for a fun vibe.

Crochet was big in the seventies and a crochet wedding dress definitely provides this feel, so select a crochet dress if you want a retro, bohemian vibe.

I've found a range of cheap crochet wedding dresses that are ideal for your big day.

Vintage 60s Cotton Bohemian Crochet Lace Wedding Dress - Etsy

This is a proper retro looking crochet wedding dress. The gown, from Kitsch Bitsch Vintage, is fully crocheted in a dark cream colour. It's cotton and stretchy, so will fit well. Plus, it comes with a free slip to go underneath so you don't have to flash that much flesh.

It looks lovely with the flower crown and bouquet, go for a similar look at your wedding for a sixties feel.

Affordable Wedding Dresses: Medieval

From Guinevere to Maid Marion, the medieval theme is ideal for a wedding. A medieval wedding dress combines the two looks that brides are most often after; ethereal and elegant.

Medieval dresses most usually feature long, flowing sleeves, a fitted bodice and loose skirts. They vary from very simple to overly elaborate and anywhere in between. You can then add a circlet of something in your hair, like Julia Ormond in First Knight, to complete the look.

You can either go all out with the medieval theme or just have a touch of it in your dress, such as long sleeves. Either way, medieval wedding dresses are beautiful and, best of all, also affordable. I've selected five lovely medieval style wedding dresses that are cheap yet great quality.

Mara Medieval Wedding Dress - Etsy

This Renaissance Gown from Etsy seller FrockFollies is ideal for a bride who wants to do the medieval theme properly (not sure why the groom in the picture is in a Victorian get up though). FrockFollies are specialists in medieval and period dresses and this one is a great example of the attention to detail. It's made out of ivory crushed velvet and features red trimming.

The back detail is lovely with the lace fastenings. Unbelievably, this dress is under £200!
Little tip; this is best worn for winter weddings, you're likely to boil in it in the summer.

£179.22

Margot Bridal Dress - Monsoon

This Margot wedding dress provides a nod to the medieval era in a modern wedding dress. It's a very simple and elegant gown with long sleeves and a pretty detailed waist tie.

Affordable Wedding Dresses - 1970s

The 1970s saw big hair and wide legs. Anyone looking to emulate a seventies look for their wedding can go one of two ways: a fitted and chic look like Bianca Jagger in her iconic wedding suit.

Alternatively, go for a prairie-style dress like the one worn by actress Mila Kunis in film Blood Ties.

Either way, the seventies look is great for a laid-back but stylish wedding. I've collected together five affordable seventies-style wedding dresses for you to feast your eyes on. Check them out below.

Boho Vintage Wedding Dress - Etsy

First up is a real seventies wedding dress from Daughters of Simone on Etsy. It's a real find; all over lace with long sleeves and an empire line. Incredible flattering and feminine.

Valley Dress - Free People

Free People is a great place to look if you're after bohemian wedding dresses. I particularly love this seventies-style white dress. It's perfect for a laid back wedding.
