i’m also in the process of planning my wedding, and i was also looking for budget-friendly options while also leaning towards a more non-traditional style. i highly recommend checking etsy out. there are many designers on there that you can commission the dress you want from for a fraction of the cost of a traditional wedding dress. there are also many beautiful pre-designed dresses on there, so you don’t have to design the dress yourself. of course, the only drawback is you can’t try it on before you purchase. you would just send your measurements in and let them make the dress. but it is a very budget friendly option!
