I was inspired by this great post from DIY Bride for a contest on doing a bridal ensemble under $500. In today’s economy brides are seeking fashionable and trendy looks for their wedding without having to break the bank. There are some great, inexpensive finds out there; it’s just a matter of taking the time to look and shop around. Make sure you set up a budget–in this case $500 for your whole bridal look, from head to toe–and stay on track when you’re shopping for your items. Here’s my first bridal ensemble under $500, a Spanish-styled look for a bride on a budget! Check out the entries for the contest here for more ideas and other great looks under $500.
