Natural Texture: Adele Wechsler Sage - $800
From her Eco Couture collection, this size 6 Adele Wechsler Sage Wedding dress uses branches in early spring bloom that wrap the edges and neckline to add texture and an organic feel. The high neckline is also a standout, perfect for a bride who wants something other than strapless. This sample designer dress retails for $3400 but is available for just $800.
Sophisticated Texture: Dezi 2795 - $1000
The shirred tulle and ruffled hem of this size 8 Dezi 2795 wedding dress by Patti's Bridal really caught our eye. It’s such a unique touch to the popular mermaid style and really adds a pretty softness to the dress. Purchased for $2000, you can now save 50% and get it for $1000.
Romantic Texture: Claire Pettibone Juliet - $2000
Love the limited edition Kleinfeld dresses featured at the top but have a sneaking suspicion they're not quite in your budget?

Tons of organza roses are embroidered throughout the dress for a romantic look worthy of its name. Regularly $4100, this dress is now selling for $2000.
Elegant Texture: Modern Trousseau - $2600
Regal, elegant and just plain gorgeous…. If you've always loved the texture that lace gives to a wedding dress, one of our favorites is this size 10 Modern Trousseau wedding dress. Our smart bride added even more amazing texture with a sash full of handmade silk flowers for a bit of 3D pop. Save $2100.
Avant Garde Texture: Ian Stuart - $4000
