Brides on a Budget: The non-traditional wedding dress that costs less than €100

Brides, it's all a load of nonsense. The wedding industry and all the people caught in its web will have you believe that it's all about the dress, your hair and makeup, the colour theme and the invitations. It's not.

Now, that's not to say that having a big bash to celebrate your eternal union is a bad idea, because, in fact, it's a great one. Your wedding is the perfect opportunity to get everyone you love together for a big old hooley. My point is, it doesn't have to take place in an old manor house. A band is not a set-in-stone requirement. A prosecco reception isn't necessary, and you don't even have to have a sit-down meal.

I'll be honest; your dress is an important element of the whole affair. Even if you don't opt for a professional photographer, you will have cameras following you all day long. You're the star for the day and trust me; you'll want to look the part.

If you are the type of bride-to-be who wants a brilliant day without the massive price tag, this is for you.

This Topshop dress costs €72, and we think it would be so cool for a low-key, relaxed wedding. It's comfortable and chic and suits most shapes and sizes. Alternatively, it could be a great, budget-friendly choice for your bridesmaids.

Everyone has an idea of what their wedding will be like. It's ok if yours doesn't look like it belongs in a bridal magazine. A wedding dress that costs under €100 is just as good as one that costs €10000, just as long as you have the best day ever.
