There are many brides who thrive on traditional weddings. This type of bride is all about formal invitations, stylish bridal portraits, and special first dance songs. She yearns to sachet down the church aisle to "Here Comes the Bride" while hundreds of her friends and family members gaze upon the beauty of her classic wedding dresses
.
And then there is the other kind of bride. The freethinking, nonconforming lady. The woman who doesn't follow convention for convention's sake. The one who has always marched to the beat of her own drum.
It is this independentlyminded lady who will likely opt to stroll down the aisle in a wedding dress that daringly departs from all convention.
If this woman is you, here are 10 ideas about cheap wedding dresses
features that you may want to consider for your upcoming nuptials:
One Shoulder Ball Gowns
There are plenty of strappy and strapless wedding dresses out there, but you rarely see any singlestrap styles. Platinum offers a dress with a strap that stretches over the left shoulder. The strap attaches at the hand draped bodice with an eyecatching jeweled brooch.
Abovetheknee Hemlines
If your goal is to make all of your female wedding guests flush and your male guests gawk, just show off your legs with an abovetheknee skirt. The Strapless Silk Radzimir Dress has a hem that stops about two inches short of the knee. The tulip skirt shows off numerous Venice Lace floral appliqués which nicely complement the cheap wedding dresses
.
Jacket s
This is even more daring than a short hemline dress! Melissa Sweet's Jake style incorporates a taffeta ¾ sleeve jacket with a midthigh, "miniskirt" hemline. The outfit boasts a crew neckline and a checkered pattern which is heavily embroidered.
Lavender Colored
Almost every wedding dress ever made is white, offwhite, eggshell, or some other shade of the whitehued family. But Platinum offers a Silk Satin Fit to Flare Strapless Gown which is available in lavender. This dress also comes with a fullpleated train and wedding dresses
and bust line.
Cotton Lace Overlay
While most dresses are basic silk, satin, or tulle, some are nestled underneath an overlay of cotton lace to create a more textured appearance. Melissa Sweet's Hallie style dress features a silk charmeuse strapless gown underneath a sheer French lace overlay. It's accented by woven ribbon detail over the hem and bodice as well as a sweep inset train.
