Just because you want your dream wedding dress to be, well, a dream, doesn't mean you have to break the bank to get it. There are plenty of affordable and fashionable bridal gowns out there that will keep you on budget and looking like a knockout. Each week, we'll be picking our favorite wedding dresses in the market right now that cost less than $2,000. That's right: not one of these gowns is a penny more than $2,000. Without further adieu, here's one of our favorite budget-friendly and super-stylish gowns.
Talk about more bang for your buck! There is so much happening with this Lillian West dress, and we're totally OK with that. First, let's talk about the embroidery. It runs all along the dress — including an illusion back that gives off major va va voom vibes — which makes the whole fit-and-flare silhouette look ornate (read: expensive). In addition to the bohemian floral and leaf-printed lace, there's a jeweled neckline for added glamour and bling (and who doesn't love bling?).

We can't forget the dress's inherently sexy, slim-fit that is going to cause more that a few eyes to pop can you walk up — and down — the aisle. For a formal wedding with a bit of over-the-top flare, this dress is certainly a super-stylish steal.
