One of the reasons I started Fly By Night Wedding is because I believe *everyone* who gets married deserves the beautiful, meaningful wedding day they dream of–including people who are on a tight budget.
I *love* writing these posts as a resource for brides on a budget to quickly know that yes, there *are* dress options out there that are stylish and beautiful. Getting real about money and budgets in the wedding industry still carries a lot of stigma. But we’re in 2019 and no one should be embarrassed to celebrate their love because they can’t afford a costly wedding–especially when so many young people are carrying significant debt and unable to find jobs that pay a fair wage. If anything, getting to celebrate love in the face of these challenges is something couples on tight incomes especially deserve.
So, here are seven beautiful boho wedding dresses under $100 for every bride on a budget who deserves to feel beautiful on her wedding day:
1. One Loved Babe – Lace Bohemian Maxi in White
This lace boho maxi is beautiful! Pair with a flower crown and simple yet bold statement necklace for a stunning boho wedding look fit for your backyard celebration or intimate elopement. This lace bohemian maxi is only $60!
2. Pretty Little Thing – White Sequin Cape Detail Maxi Dress
This slinky dress oozes boho glamour! And at $56, it’s affordable for just about every bride.
3. ASOS Edition – Wedding Maxi Dress with Flutter Sleeve
What a simple yet regal dress! The high neck and flutter sleeves look utterly dignified yet relaxed. At $75.50, this dress is a bargain.
4. Morning Lavender – Ellen Beige Floral Tulle Maxi Dress
I love the light botanical touches of green in the floral pattern of this dress! It’s unique but able to be easily styled for either a boho wedding or a more classic look. Plus, it can be worn with straps or strapless! The Ellen Beige maxi dress is $82.99.
5. Morning Lavender – Cora Blush Floral Maxi Dress
Another Morning Lavender dress! The white floral lace overlay on blush lining is a very trendy, contemporary look and at $80.99, super affordable.
6. ASOS Edition – Delicate Lace Wedding Dress
This elegant yet casual dress is perfect for any boho wedding! Also, did I mention it only costs $57?
For the bride who wants a simple and comfortable yet beautiful wedding look, the Evermore dress’ pockets, elastic waistband, and delicate neck and chest embroidery is the perfect fit. The Evermore is only $49.99.
The beaded and scalloped hem top of the Ember dress is truly gorgeous! I honestly can’t believe this dress is only $92. Get this dress now while you still can!
9. Nee See’s Boutique – Prima Ballerina Gown
Pair this sequined top dress with simple pearl earrings and a dried bouquet for a blush boho glam bridal look! The Prima Ballerina gown is $79.99.
10. ASOS Edition – Satin Fringe Wrap Wedding Dress
Normally satin dresses are about as far away from a boho aesthetic as you can get, but the relaxed wrap silhouette and dramatic fringe of this dress make it both super casual and boho edgy! Pair with a white blossom and sage green flower crown for a striking, back to basics boho look. The satin fringe wrap dress is $95.
11. ASOS Edition – Little Mistress Maternity Maxi Dress
For brides who are expecting, this is a darling boho gown at an incredible price! The Little Mistress maxi dress costs only $38.50.

You can breathe a sign of relief–yes, there are beautiful boho wedding dresses under $500!
Finding your wedding dress can and should be one of the most fun parts of planning your wedding! But it’s totally normal for dress shopping to feel stressful, too–especially if you don’t have much money to find *The Dress* that you’re supposed to fall head over heels for the same way you did for the person you’re marrying. Aren’t society’s wildly high expectations just great for anxiety?f
Thankfully, there *are* beautiful gowns that can be had at a pretty reasonable price. I’ve gathered eleven gorgeous boho wedding dresses under $500 here for budget savvy brides who want (and deserve!) to feel stunning on their big day:

More and more brides are ditching traditional wedding dress styles in favor of free-spirited, nontraditional boho wedding dresses. The shift away from stuffy, uncomfortable styles from big bridal chains toward designers and labels with unique aesthetic vision and greater focus on the bride’s comfort is an overdue one I’m happy is here!
But many of these labels still design like brides above a street size 12 don’t exist (some of them barely even do that) and carry only hefty price points. For a curvy bride on a budget–aka, *many* brides–finding beautiful plus size boho wedding dresses can be a needle in haystack type of situation.
I’ve put together a list of six beautiful plus size boho wedding dresses for curvy brides that are all under $2000–some much less than that–who want to feel beautiful without spending an arm and a leg on a wedding dress:
1. Reclamation – She’s More Than Magic Dress
There’s not one dress from Reclamation that doesn’t make my heart flutter and this is no exception! I’m featuring this specific dress since the real bride featured in the product photos is plus size, but every single Reclamation dress is a) less than $2000 and b) made to your measurements. Plus, free shipping to the U.S. from Victoria, Canada where Reclamation is based. The She’s More Than Magic Dress costs $1,168.04
2. Saldana Vintage – Lucia Dress
The Lucia is made from authentic vintage lace, to your measurements, and is only $848. Yep, custom sizing is included in that price. This is actually Saldana Vintage’s most expensive plus gown–you can find more of their plus size dresses here.
3. Azazie – Blossom Dress
I love the beautiful scalloped lace and armbands of this dress! It’s simple yet ethereal, just as perfect for a trendy desert elopement as for a festive, outdoor woodland celebration. At $399–which includes custom sizing–the price is hard to beat.
4. WToo – Vayentha Dress
For a clean, modern boho look–think seaside wedding in Greece–the Vayentha is the dress for you! The criss-crossing geometric patterns add visual interest to the simple, striking silhouette. The Vayentha’s price ranges from $1,489.25 to $1,817.
5) Eloquii – Lace Evening Dress with Pleated Skirt
This dress exemplifies a very Pinterest popular style of wedding dress with geometric-patterned lace bodices and pleated skirts. It’s a great wedding dress, engagement session dress, or rehearsal dinner dress and at $169.90? What a steal.
6) Timjan Design – Long Empress Dress
Although I couldn’t find a photo of a plus size bride in this dress, I *had* to include because it’s both so beautiful and so affordable! Timjan Design makes this dress in up to a size 22 (sold out with a waitlist for sizes above a 22) for only $139.44. You can get the dress custom made to your size for only $154.04. Reviews of the dress are glowing, including from one customer who wore a plus size of the Long Empress Dress for her wedding.

Boho wedding dresses grew enormously popular in the last few years, and no wonder! They’re a daring, modern, laid back breath of fresh air in bridal style. But finding boho gowns that are trendy, chic, *and* affordable can be a real challenge.
Below are ten beautiful boho wedding dresses under $1500 for budget-conscious brides who want to rock the boho look on their big day:
1. Kite and Butterfly – Passionflower Dress
For boho brides who want to wear white with a pop of color, the vibrant Passionflower Dress is a great choice! I adore this floral print. (I actually own a dress with a very similar floral print on white that I love!) The Passionflower is $1250.
2. Dreamers & Lovers – Catherine Wedding Dress with Pockets
You read that right: this dress has pockets! Dreamers & Lovers makes all their dresses to your measurements, so they’re great for plus size brides. (Or anyone whose size doesn’t fit neatly on a standard sizing chart–aka, a *lot* of us). This short sleeve boho gown is beautiful, versatile, and affordable at a $1,095 – $1,394 price range.
3. Dreamers & Lovers – Penelope Stretch Lace Gown
Dreamers & Lovers has too many lovely affordable dresses to not include one more! D&L is known for their sleeved, more modest dresses, but the Penelope’s daring open back deserves a look too! (Plus, that gathered fabric in the back is super flattering for your tush. ;D) The Penelope dress is $1,475.
4. BHLDN – Cascading Lace Gown
The symmetrical lace and illusion back of the Cascading Lace Gown is a feminine and delicate yet unstuffy option for boho brides. The price tag is $1200.
5. Willowby – Dylan Gown
The placement of the Dylan’s festive doily lace, especially on the illusion halter neck, brings joyful movement and bold visual interest to this A-line dress. Price for Dylan ranges from $1,150 to $1,323.
6. Daughters of Simone – Winnie
This romantic gown was inspired by the designer’s mother’s wedding dress. It’s utterly gorgeous yet simple, which is no surprise coming from Daughters of Simone. The Winnie is $1,437.
7. Wear Your Love – Rio Dress
Let’s get real: I freakin’ love this dress! The bold geometric lace, chest cutout, and open back are stunning. It’s perfect for adventurous, creative brides who aren’t afraid to stand out! At $1,280–which includes the dress made to your measurements–this is a bona fide steal.
8. Allure – Hollis Dress
Wild at heart, adventurous brides – this is your dress! The Hollis is made from stretch jersey and lace–aka, it’s comfortable–and is available up to size 30, so it’s a great option for plus size boho brides. The Hollis can be yours for $1,099.
9. Reclamation – She’s More Than Magic Dress
Ok so, I’ve been browsing bridal shops on Etsy for months–maybe years!–at this point, and how Reclamation only popped into my search results a few days ago is mindblowing, because–you see the gown above, right? Incredible. Designer Trista, whose reviews on Etsy are the most genuine, heartfelt, and near-worshipful I’ve ever seen for any bridal label, makes all of Reclamation’s gowns at any size. Plus, She’s More Than Magic is available at a jaw-droppingly reasonable $1,169.50, which includes free shipping to the U.S. from Canada.
10. Reclamation – Magical Wanderer Dress
Reclamation’s dresses are so beautiful, I couldn’t include just one! I can’t get over how mythic and breathtaking this dress is. Reclamation’s rich aesthetic vision, especially for their price points, feels unparalleled in the bridal market. Plus, the gorgeous, majestic sleeves and lush pattern of the Quaker lace are fit for a queen. This is an all around exceptional wedding gown! This dress, made to your measurements and shipped free to the U.S. from Canada, is $1,208.48.

When I started wedding dress shopping (aka, as soon after getting engaged as I could manage), I let myself look at every single wedding dress I liked, no matter the price–and I’m glad I did! All that ooh-ing and aah-ing helped me figure out what I like and how I want my overall look to come together on the big day.
But after the initial honeymoon period (ha!), I became a bargain hunting bride extraordinaire–and it paid off! I snagged a beautiful dress I’d been gazing at for weeks on sale for less than $200 *after shipping.* That left me enough budget wiggle room to customize my already beautiful dress into a one-of-a-kind boho bride’s dream.
If you’re looking for an affordable wedding dress that’s still trendy and beautiful, you *must* check out the six sites below–including where I nabbed a downright deal on my wedding dress:
If you’ve wedding dress shopped longer than fifteen minutes, you probably already know that BHLDN carries quality, trendy boho dresses at prices that won’t ruin your checking account, but I wanna highlight BHLDN’s sale section. The BHLDN sale section offers tons of beautiful, trendy dresses at “am I hallucinating?” level markdowns. And the best part: with a small handful of exceptions, all sale dresses are returnable! (I found only seven final sale gowns at the time of writing this article.) So you can order a BHLDN sale wedding dress, try it on, and if it doesn’t fit return for a full refund! I snagged my wedding dress from BHLDN’s sale section for under $200 with shipping and couldn’t be happier.
2) Anomalie
Anomalie was created by founder Leslie Voorhees and her husband after Vorhees became frustrated with bridal boutiques’ opaque processes and hefty markups. Anomalie’s ethos is that they are a “pro-bride” company, and their process shows it: with the help of Anomalie’s stylists, brides custom design their own dress to fit their style and measurements. Anomalie designs dresses for brides of every size and shape, so they’re a great choice for plus size brides looking for a unique dress. Also, with 90% of their dresses falling between $1000-$2000 and average price of $1350, the price tag for a beautiful, one-of-a-kind Anomalie dress is very reasonable.
My jaw *dropped* when I first came across Saldana Vintage. They create breathtakingly beautiful boho wedding dresses from vintage and contemporary laces, with the vast majority of price points falling between $500 to just under $1000. (And a few dresses even cheaper than that!) Saldana has a small plus size section, and the option for many of their dresses not included in the plus section to be made plus size for an upcharge.
The Aurora and Lisa dresses from Dreamers & Lovers are Pinterest favorites, and it’s no surprise why–they’re absolutely stunning boho wedding dresses with a forest fairy princess look that’s simple and laid back yet stunning. Dreamers & Lovers offers dresses directly to brides specifically to avoid boutique markups, which means the vast majority of Dreamers & Lovers dresses, made to your measurements, cost less than $2000. (There is an upcharge for dresses made to measurements above size 16.) They also offer a try-on service for brides who don’t live in California but want to try on a Dreamers & Lovers dress.
5) ASOS
Yes, ASOS! ASOS carries trendy, laid back wedding dresses at $300 or less, including plus size dresses through ASOS Curve. I couldn’t believe how affordable and beautiful these dresses were when I first came across ASOS’ bridal section–I think this embellished applique sleeved wedding dress at $104 is a real stand out.
