Reformation
Whether you're planning a six-figure wedding with all the stops, keeping it simple at the courthouse, or just celebrating with a cremony and reception that falls somewhere inbetween, you'll need a dress. It's pretty much the most important variable in the equation—well, aside from the fiancé.
And while wedding dresses and bridal gowns have a reputation for being costly (and by that I mean easily in the $1,000 to $10,000 range), you don't need to waste that much of your budget on a style you'll wear once. Especially when Abercrombie, Revolve, Reformation, and more of our favorite retailers have just as jaw-dropping dresses that feel just as special for the occasion.
There's something for every type of bride and every bride's budget. Think: flowing satin gowns, structured A-line silhouettes, and casual lace maxis.
Keep scrolling to shop our favorite wedding styles—starting at just $148.
ASOS DESIGN Bandeau Structured Wedding Dress

Feeling of Forever White Sleeveless Mermaid Maxi Dress
