We’re sharing the best Etsy wedding dresses under $800 today on the blog! Make sure you’re on the list, ok?

Hi, loves! Emma here. Today I’m letting you in on a little secret: Your wedding gown doesn’t have to cost a ton of money to be beautiful. Or custom-made. Really!

Some of the prettiest wedding dresses are under $1000 — even $800 or less! — as I’ll prove to you in this post. You see, it’s not the dress that makes the bride; instead, it is the beautiful bride that makes the dress! Any wedding dress which is properly fitted to your individual measurements, paired with accessories, and accompanied via a smile that lights up a room looks way better than an ill-fitting garment upwards of $2000 or more. To show you how you can stay on budget AND have the wedding dress of your dreams, we’ve rounded up thirty best Etsy wedding dresses to share. Each dress is handmade with two hands, a sewing machine, and a whole lotta love! Plus, you have the opportunity to speak directly to the designer who will work one-on-one with you to handcraft your wedding gown.

You just can’t beat handmade. It’s ALWAYS better than anything you buy on a rack. Etsy wedding dresses are our favorite wedding dresses, and that makes sense because we’re the Handmade Wedding Blog! :)

Oh! If you’re nervous about buying a wedding dress online, don’t be: it’s completely safe if you 1) check reviews before you buy, 2) send your exact measurements, 3) allow for plenty of time for it to arrive, and 4) have it professionally fitted via a local seamstress (if needed). And, just to be sure, read the fine print and return policy before you buy. But that’s just smart practice for buying anything online. :)

Grab some coffee and prepare to be amazed! We’ve found some truly incredible wedding dresses here…
