As the past few years has been as tough on the bank account as it has on the wedding industry for many people, you might be looking to more affordable high street wedding dress options when it comes to your special day. Thankfully, there are plenty of brilliant, affordable (even bordering on 'cheap') wedding dresses that still have that luxurious feeling out there, in silks, tulle, lace and all of the trimmings you'd expect of a bridal gown – without the associated price tag.

High-street and midrange brands like H&M and Reformation offer luxury-looking pieces that can easily be tailored to make the perfect fit. While designer brands like Cecilie Bahnsen, Self-Portrait, and Jaquemus all include white, ivory and cream dresses at a lower price point so you can get big names and a small price. And that means you can spend all the money you've saved on some fabulous wedding shoes and accessories instead...

So, whether you're looking for a vintage style wedding dress, or a heavily embellished design, or even something simple in a midi length, there is surely an option for you among these more affordable wedding dresses which are all under £1,000:
