Here are three examples of an old Hollywood evening look that can easily used for a more sleek modern wedding ensemble (with a bit of retro glamour). I chose the traditional colors of white , ivory, and champagne. The White outfit is the most expensive at $346.44, but is still much less than most wedding dresses alone. The Ivory set is $247, and the Champagne ensemble is at the wonderfully affordable total of $123. All of these are before tax, delivery, etc..., but it shows that given research, one doesn't have to be rolling in dough to find an elegant wedding wardrobe.

This is more of a casual ensemble for a courthouse wedding or an outdoor/ beach sort of deal. This would also be good for a second wedding or more mature bride. The soft lines and the champagne color matched with chunky gold accessories give a sophisticated yet informal vibe. And for less than $100, this a great look that any thrifty bride could appreciate.

Sassy ensemble in green, orange, and gold. Flow-y dress, scarf, and flower for a casual warm day- Added textures and jacket for dressy cooler evening.

In my latest set to prove that one doesn't have to drop a fortune to have a stylish wedding, I went with a traditional theme. This ensemble comes to $339. Considering that most bridal gowns alone cost more than $339, this is definitely a steal. This traditional wedding dress is matched with simple, but elegant accessories giving a sophisticated look without breaking the bank.
