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!
Happy holidays, everybody! Not only does this time of year come with hot cocoa, cozy sweaters, and (hopefully!) time to relax indoors away from the cold, but also ~really, really good~ wedding dress deals. This post includes normal price affordable dresses *and* some sweet sale items that won’t be around long, so make note of your favorites ASAP!
Honestly, just click the link and watch the dress video on ASOS, because it moves *so* beautifully! And does not look like a dress that only costs $285. Like, really.
Allover lace plus a bustier bodice equals a sexy-yet-refined bridal look that’s a touch boho, a hint of pinup, and overall flirty and modern. This dress is only $261!
Got a New Year’s elopement and looking for just the right outfit? Beaded cape fringe makes this flapper dress feel current, fun, and offbeat without getting costume-y. This dress is $238.
This gown includes an on trend tulle maxi overskirt for an easy ceremony to reception transition. That’s two wedding looks for only $371!
ALERT: big BHLDN markdown! This bell-sleeved beauty is now only $499–a big drop from $1,395. Currently all sizes from 00-16 are available, but with BHLDN’s current sale I doubt that will last for long!
ALERT AGAIN: another big BHLDN markdown! This gorgeous high neck, allover lace gown was originally $1,695 and is now only $499! Most sizes between 00-18 are still available, but if you’re crushing on this dress I’d buy it ASAP.
A vintage lace, made-to-order in your size wedding dress for only $485? You’re not dreaming. (Dame and Maiden has a lot of other stunning vintage lace dresses to drool over, too.)
I love the whimsical beaded sleeves of this dress! This elegant boho gown is only $350.
This dress can be made up to a size 4XL and is only $250! BlushFashion gets rave reviews for how comfortable, high quality, and well-fitting their dresses are, so this price tag seems like a steal.
This flowy yet structured gown looks like what an ancient Greek goddess would wear for her modern wedding! Available in every size from 0-18 and only $325.
This delicate, ethereal dress is available in an XS-XL for $330, and for $379 can be custom made in any size. I *adore* the short flutter sleeve accent on the fitted long sleeve!
This ultra sleek, modern halter gown is only $220 and currently available in every size from 0-16.
ALERT: this BHLDN markdown is a total steal at only $499–down from an original price of $1500! Sizes left are limited, so snap this up quick if it’s on your radar.
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!

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!
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.
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!
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!
Look. At. That. Fringe! This cotton crochet lace dress is bold, sleek, sexy, and at $798? Gimme it.
This. Dress. Is. So. *Gorgeous.* The subtle hi-lo hem, lacy bell sleeves, and touch of open back are just perfect. For sizes above a UK 18, this dress can be made to your measurements for $816.65.
The intricate botanical lace and a simple, clean silhouette of this dress makes it a great option for brides with a modern, minimalist boho vibe! This dress is $1,589.34.
This dress is ultra feminine and ethereal, perfect for brides who want a soft, romantic boho look! This dress is $1,485.83.
Yeah ok, I had to share one more LaSabina Plus dress because *hot damn* is it gorgeous. That lace with dreamy off shoulder ruffle sleeves puts butterflies in my stomach! This dress is $1,554.94.
I have *such* a big crush on this lace–don’t you want to just dance under a desert sunset in this thing? Dame & Maiden uses rare vintage lace to make this and all their incredible dresses to your measurements. This dress is $1,550.
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!

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!
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!
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’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 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.
Have you found other shops or labels emulating the Self-Portrait gown? Let me know in the comments! Also, check out my previous two Pinterest Wedding Dresses and Where to Find Them posts!
It’s time for another roundup of beautiful boho dresses that won’t break the bank! Here are eight boho wedding dresses under $500:
Vibrant embroidery, tassels, and voluminous sleeves–what more could you ask for? Able to be worn as a dress or duster (so you automatically have a way to wear this post-wedding!), the Heart on the Floor is $450.
For casual summer weddings–especially on the beach!–this open-backed halter dress makes for a daring yet laid back look. Charlie is $350.
Soft floral embroidery and a geometric neckline make this duster perfect for a pastel boho ceremony or elopment. I Am Lola is $480.
This beautiful dress features intricately detailed beading from neckline to hem–and is only $300.
Another incredible embroidered piece from Fillyboo, with beautiful tasseled bell sleeves! This dress is $450.
This super modern, clean take on the floral lace boho gown stands out from the crowd! The Fiora is $490.
Like everything I’ve seen from Fillyboo, the boho details on this dress–billowy sleeves, tassels, bold lace patterns–are to die for. The Strawberry Fields is $380.
This breezy, off-the-shoulder dress is flowy yet structured and *so* feminine. The Tambourine Maxi is $420.

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.

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’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.
