From  the venue to the food to the photographer, wedding costs can add up quickly.

While you may not want to skimp on certain things — like the location, photography or cake — one way you can save money is by searching through inexpensive wedding dresses to find your perfect gown.

You can find inexpensive wedding dresses in stores and online by sifting through sales and clearance racks or by simply narrowing your search to only dresses within a certain price range.

We’ve scoured the internet and found nine inexpensive wedding dresses, many of which are under $200! These are affordable wedding dresses you can wear on your special day — and still look like a million bucks.

I can’t stress enough how perfect this dress was,” the reviewer wrote. “I felt like a million dollars, despite the affordable price tag and it was soooo comfortable. I danced until 4am and never felt restricted or paranoid about it getting wrecked. I look back on my wedding day and purchasing this dress was honestly one of the best decisions I made.”
