I can’t believe I’m writing an Under the Radar post about Bibiluxe, but I’m writing an Under the Radar post about Bibiluxe.

Why? For one, I’ve seen their beautiful, recognizable-on-sight dresses and robes all over the internet. Mega babe influencer’s influencer Officially Quigley has modeled one of their pieces. And although they’ve got over 4000 sales on Etsy, they only have a few more Instagram followers than sales—which makes me feel like their customers *love* them, but they don’t have nearly enough other admirers for how amazing their pieces are. (Especially considering that all of their pieces can be custom made to your size—plus size brides rejoice! And a lot of plus size brides are featured on their IG feed, so make sure to check it out.)

Let’s drool together over some of these dresses:

This is under $400. Under $400.

Um, HELLO. Fringe sleeves and on the dress body both makes this so…luxe ;););) sorry couldn’t help myself

And this ~sheer~ delight (full of wordplay today, forgive me):

So let’s review: beautiful dresses (and kaftans and robes)? Check. Affordable? Check. Size inclusive? You betcha.

 

Babes, I want Bibiluxe to have the thousands more followers and the blue check they deserve. And I want plus size brides especially to know there’s an affordable option out there for stunning boho dresses made with care.

Did you already know about Bibiluxe? Love their pieces? Let me know in comments!

Edgy, rock’n’roll gowns are some of my absolute favorites! But with their intricate design elements–fringe, tassels, carefully placed intricate laces, etc.–they often carry a heavy price tag. This free-spirited dress can be made in US size 2-16, or custom-sized, for only $350!

Hello! Here are 10 Gorgeous, Affordable Plus Size Boho Wedding Dresses for October 2019

My posts may contain affiliate links! If you buy something through one of those links, you won’t pay a cent more but but FBNW will get a small commission, which helps keep us running. Thanks!

 

Hi there! So I’ve been gone for a little while.

This is for 100% good reasons: planning my own wedding *and* a dear friend’s baby shower! I wanted my heart and focus dedicated to both events, so Fly By Night Wedding took a backseat for a few months.

Now I’m just over a month married, my friend is showered, and I’m so happy to be back! Once we get professional photos I’ll do a longer post about our wedding (and my dress!), the shower, and who I am IRL since I’ve been shy putting a face to FBNW. I’m a little nervous but also excited about lifting the veil, so to speak. 😉

In the meanwhile, I’m psyched for this post about one of my favorite topics: trendy, boho plus size wedding dresses you can actually afford.

Fly By Night Wedding’s most read post daily, almost without exception, is my first post about beautiful plus size boho dresses under $2,000. This isn’t shocking, with how hard it is to find dresses that are plus size, boho, and won’t cost you your firstborn. I’m amazed I haven’t come across more lists like this one, to be honest. I’ve known for a while that another list of affordable plus size boho gowns was due–I just had to find the gowns to make it happen!

So…ta-da! The October 2019 installment of gorgeous, affordable plus size boho wedding dresses! *cue noisemaker sound and confetti you’ll find in your hair for three weeks*

Just like the first installment, all of these dresses are $2000 or less–in some cases *much* less. Let’s dive in!

 

1. Lyra Vega Bridal – Deb Dress

affordable plus size boho wedding dress lyra vega

Lyra Vega is dedicated to an easier online wedding dress shopping experience for brides. They offer affordable, transparent pricing and size inclusivity. Returns are even allowed on their made-to-your-size dresses, which I’ve never seen from another bridal shop.

Plus, the dresses are stunning! I’ve never seen an off-the-shoulder bell sleeve dress quite like the Deb, a steal at $995.

 

2. Tavifa Bridal – Modern Rustic Wedding Dress

tavifa bridal modern rustic plus size wedding dress

Simple, modern, and romantic all at once, this dress is so versatile! Accessorize with dramatic jewelry and pampas crown for a magical desert elopement, or a simple crystal tiara for a mystical, queenly look. And the best news? This dress is only $490!

 

3. Saldana Vintage – Chloe Plus Dress

Plus brides looking for a boho look that’s bold, sensual, and won’t kill your budget: Saldana Vintage is *it.* They’ve expanded their plus dress selection to include 15 of their standard new lace dresses. With the exception of this dress–which is $1,098–they all cost under $1,000 and are made to your measurements. Although all the product pictures are currently of straight size models in smaller sizes of dresses, SV notes on their plus size new lace dress page that they’ll have photos of plus size models in the dresses on the site soon!

 

4. Saldana Vintage – Miranda Plus Dress

10. Reclamation Design Company – Custom Glitter Gown

boho glitter bell sleeve wedding gown

I couldn’t write a post about affordable plus size wedding gowns without including at least one dress from Reclamation Design Company, which offers some of the most breathtakingly gorgeous wedding gowns out there *period,* at prices that are hard to believe. Reclamation’s custom glitter gowns start at $827.62 for standard sizes, with their Etsy shop quoting “XL and above subject to slight extra charge for lace.” My educated guess is the upcharge would vary depending on your size. But with Reclamation’s most expensive dress listed as $1,300, I’m pretty certain plus size brides could get the glitter gown of their dreams for well under my stated $2,000 maximum for this post.

Finding enough dresses for this list was *so* much easier than my original affordable plus size boho wedding dresses post, and I’m really excited to see even more designers and labels get into the plus size wedding dress game! Have you found other amazing plus size boho wedding dresses for under $2,000? Let me know in the comments!

Pinterest Wedding Dresses and Where to Find Them: June 2019 Edition

My posts may contain affiliate links! If you buy something through one of those links, you won’t pay a cent more but but FBNW will get a small commission, which helps keep us running. Thanks!

It’s time again for one of my favorite topics: Pinterest wedding dresses and where to find them!

This one is different from previous PWD&WTFT posts. (Lol at that ridiculous acronym, btw.) Instead of featuring a few different dresses, I’m going to focus on one dress and not just where to buy it, but where to find similar dresses from legit shops. This dress is a little different in that a few labels that have designed very pretty and wearable emulations of the original, so I want to show you the different available options.

So let’s dive in!

The Original Pinterest Wedding Dress

Self-Portrait – Pleated Crochet Floral Maxi Dress

This image has been plastered across Pinterest countless times, but I haven’t once seen it link to the original dress: the Self-Portrait pleated crochet floral maxi dress. Kate Middleton wore this dress to a November 2016 movie premiere, which given when this image was blowing up Pinterest, is likely what made it so popular! At 340 euros, or approximately $379, this is one of the most affordable designer Pinterest wedding dresses to go viral.

A few labels have emulated this dress at even more affordable price points, including in different colors–let’s take a look!

The Emulations

Eternal Ivory – Mary Ashley Dress

eternal ivory mary ashley pinterest wedding dresses

Eternal Ivory’s Mary Ashley dress is the closest emulation of Self-Portrait’s original dress I’ve found, specifically because it’s maxi length with long sleeves and a pleated skirt with a side split. Unfortunately the dress is currently sold out, but has been restocked more than once. At only $129, it’s worth keeping an eye out for.

Eloquii – Lace Evening Dress with Pleated Skirt

eloquii lace maxi pinterest wedding dresses

Eloquii’s take on this dress is full length with a beautifully pleated skirt and comes in four colors! Plus, it’s only $124.95.

Ivy City Co – Arabella Lace Gown

Ivy City Co not only has a beautiful full length version of this gown for $148, but also

…a midi length take for $78! The midi comes in the above white, hunter green, pink, and black. Plus…

a mini version for toddlers and little girls! Very cute flower girl dress, if I say so myself.

11 Beautiful Boho Wedding Dresses Under $100

My posts may contain affiliate links! If you buy something through one of those links, you won’t pay a cent more but but FBNW will get a small commission, which helps keep us running. Thanks!

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

modest long sleeved white dress

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!

Five Great Bridal Shops for Trendy Affordable Wedding Dresses

My posts may contain affiliate links! If you buy something through one of those links, you won’t pay a cent more but but FBNW will get a small commission. Thanks!

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:

  1. BHLDN (especially the sale section!)
Yes, all of these gowns are less than $1000 *and* returnable.

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.

3) Saldana Vintage

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.

4) Dreamers & Lovers

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.

Like probably every bride-to-be post-2010, I fantasize a *lot* about my wedding and Pinterest is my biggest enabler. (Because I *need* to pin every DIY macrame wall hanging I see, right? Right?!) But Pinterest wedding dresses are my *thing*–I’m perfectly happy browsing wedding dresses on Pinterest for hours on end!

Pinning wedding dresses might be the most fun because there are so many swoon-worthy bridal gowns to imagine yourself wearing! But wedding dress hunting on Pinterest can also be *very* frustrating: you see a dress you love, click on the pin for info on how and where to buy it, aaaaaaaand–

Nothing. Nada. Womp-womp.

I can’t count how many times I’ve clicked a wedding dress pin to see who designed it or where to buy it, only to find a clickbait article that doesn’t list designers, an Instagram photo without the designer tagged, or–my personal favorite–another pin with no info.

After so many Pinterest dead ends, I thought *somebody* had to have spilled the beans on where to find those popular Pinterest dresses, right? Nada again.

So, for all you brides who have been as baffled as me, here’s my first Beautiful Pinterest Wedding Dresses and Where to Find Them! In this post, I’ll give you the lowdown on popular pins featuring three dresses.

Dress 1: The Melanie from Flora Bridal

Who *hasn’t* swooned over this dress? It’s a stunning boho wedding gown with a long sleeve, backless silhouette that’s become (and remained) wildly popular with brides over the past few years. The intricate details on the bodice and sleeves are breathtaking.

Dress 2: The Amira from Immacle

While the previous dress took detective work, I stumbled on this one by total accident and was ecstatic! From the moment I saw this dress on Pinterest in the most lighthearted and fantastical wedding shoot, I adored it! I love its fringe-y bell sleeves and delicate floral lace. It strikes the perfect balance between edgy hippie and ethereal woodland goddess.

The Amira is from Barcelona label Immacle’s Senda collection. Although Immacle currently only stocks dresses in their Barcelona and Madrid showrooms, they ship worldwide. Also, their website has an e-shop page indicating it will open soon–exciting! I don’t have the exact price of the Amira, but Immacle’s gowns start at approximately $3,300. (I’ll update with exact price here if confirmed.)

Dress 3: Evalyn Bodice, Ivy Lace Overlay, and McKinley Skirt from Rebecca Schoneveld

It’s no wonder this bridal look has been getting lots of love on Pinterest. It’s relaxed yet elegant, boho yet classic, and trendy yet timeless all at once. The emotional, intimate photos of the bride with her groom beautifully showcase her entire look from lush greenery crown to chiffon skirt.

These separates can be found on the Rebecca Schoneveld website (separates toward the bottom of the page). Bridal shops nationwide also carry Schoneveld’s dresses and separates. The combined price of the Evalyn Bodice, Ivy Lace Overlay, and McKinley skirt is $2820.
