Celebrity-Inspired Designer Wedding Gowns




Bridal Fashion Cents



Just because you don't make bank like celebrities, doesn't mean you can't look like one...especially on your wedding day! I've compiled some of my favorite celebrity wedding dress looks and found less-expensive alternatives to the designer duds.




Fergie wore a white Dolce & Gabanna fitted, white ruched, corseted wedding gown with a mesh tulle overlay, spaghetti straps and a long train.

This similar alternative by Eiffel Bride is only $298





Ivank Trump wore an ivory Vera Wang high-neck, floor-length gown, with an Alençon lace overlay.

The "Arlington" by Blue by Enzoani is just $345.99





Khloe Kardashian wore a white strapless Vera Wang with layers upon layers of soft organza that flows to the floor, a fitted bodice, and asymmetrical ruching to accent the side seam.

The Alure Bridal #8705 is just $554





Alyssa Milano wore an ivory silk taffeta Vera Wang strapless gown with pockets, a sweet crumb neckline and belted organza motif at waist.

The "Houston" by Vatana Watters is just $950





Gwen Stefani wore a John Galliano for Dior one-of-a-kind, full skirt with comprising layers of a pure white net overlay that graduates into a hand-dyed hot pink layer.
This Sherri Hill design is the closest I could find (sans the giant bow), and just $598





Jessica Simpson wore a white Vera Wang allover beaded corded lace A-line gown, with a chapel train.

The #CT2406 at David's Bridal is only $599





Kara Dioguardi wore a white Vera Wang pleated tulle strapless trumpet gown with tiered skirt.

The "Vesper" by WTOO is just $638





Finding the perfect wedding gown is probably the most important aspect of your wedding, but it doesn't have to cost your entire wedding budget. I found my dress at an upscale wedding boutique in my town, and with a little research, I was able to find the exact dress online...for half the price. That savings then went towards something else for my wedding!
