Minimalist wedding dresses under $1,000 by BHLDN

A wedding dress is such an important part of the wedding planning process and finding the one is no doubt the best feeling ever. When I started looking for mine I had a general idea of the style but had absolutely no idea how much they cost, where you try them on, how many fittings there are and all the other important information about the wedding dress shopping. This is probably why my dress shopping turned out into a little bit of a wedding dress disaster. One thing I haven’t considered at all (simply because I didn’t know was possible) is ordering my wedding dress online. Only after my wedding I’ve done the research and to be honest although I loved the wedding dress I got married in, I would totally try any of the ones listed below (the price is so much better too!).

BHLDN Minimalist Wedding Dresses

BHLDN is Anthropologie’s wedding dresses and accessories section. I am personally in love with this store, but when I discovered it I already had my dress. They have a measurement guide online which can help you find the right size, and they offer a pretty good choice of dresses from boho wedding dresses to wedding gowns of all price ranges. Below are some dresses from those stores with the link to where you can order the dress.
