Destination Wedding Dresses for Under $500

TAGS: DESTINATION, BEACH, CASUAL, SIMPLE

One of the SmartBride team members is off to St. Maarten this week. Am I jealous? Maybe just a tad.


I just checked the weather, and it’s a balmy 35 degrees with humidity (almost 80 for those of you south of the border). Since I can’t go, I thought I’d pull together some destination wedding dresses, perfect for a sunny beach wedding. I know, it’s not the same as going down to balmy St. Maarten, but thinking about wearing these light and breezy dresses puts me in a beach state of mind.


AND, did I mention this one small detail? Every single one of these dress is $300 or less? Every. Single. One. That's AMAZING!

Chiffon layers give this dress an elegant feel, but the overall look is still casual enough for a beach wedding. Even better, this size 10 Mon Cheri 16112 is usually $899 but is being sold for $275 at an upcoming charity sample sale.
