Wedding planning is often a big, no-expenses-spared blowout. Many of us want the bling-studded celebrity style weddings movie stars and WAGs are notorious for, but the reality of our current accounts is often in stark contrast to our wedding fantasies. Thankfully, many of today’s leading designers understand we’re not all as swish as we’d like to be and have responded with truly stunning, affordable bridal gowns.
