Best high street wedding dresses 2024 that are stylish and affordable

Now we’ve entered the wedding boom of 2024, you may be searching for the perfect wedding dress that won’t bust your budget.

High street labels and independent brands have been launching bridal collections left, right, and centre, and with prices rising in every other aspect of the nuptial process, why not save some money on your outfit?

Whether you’re tying the knot abroad, on a rooftop in London, or at your local registry office, there’s zero shame in spending less on your dress - and you won’t feel guilty for splashing out on your shoes and accessories.

Take your styling cues from the countless celeb weddings that have recently been flooding our IG feeds. You could try a mini dress like Kourtney Kardashian, who wore Dolce & Gabbana, or a square neckline like Nicola Peltz Beckham, who walked down the aisle in Valentino.

From Reformation to Ghost, there are more than enough options to ensure you’ll find the perfect dress for your upcoming nuptials. Even high street brands ASOS, Monsoon, and Rixo have entered the market, with dresses for as little as £38.

So get scrolling and let us take the stress out of deciding which outfit you’re going to wear, all of which are less than £1000.
