Unless you are living out a Carrie Bradshaw-inspired reality and receiving designer wedding duds gratis, the modern bride has a big problem: Looking chic on the most photographed day of your life can cost you a small fortune. This season of bridal collections has certainly had no shortage of Pinterest-worthy looks with extravagant price tags. So far we’ve seen gothic looks from Vera Wang, airy appliqué gowns from Marchesa Notte, and lush capes from Oscar de la Renta.Some designers, however, are fed up with fueling the angst of fashionable, budget-conscious brides. Enter the new crop of chic bridal looks that won’t break the bank—the latest of which comes from Stone Fox Bride and Vince Camuto.
[post_ads]This season, Stone Fox Bride—the edgy, bohemian brand producing some of the coolest dresses, jewelry, and wedding-approved accessories on the market—teamed up with Vince Camuto’s Imagine line of shoes to create the Heart + Sole dress collection (see what they did there?). The fall look book is full of dreamy bohemian looks (get your flower crowns, undone waves, and bold brows) that totally nail the pulled-together-without-even-trying aesthetic sans insane price tags. The collection hits a range of price points—$650 to $6,750—all equally chic.It’s the details that really solidify the collection’s "It" girl potential (because, let’s be honest, it’s the details that will take your wedding day 'gram game to the next level).
There’s the Nika, a Victorian-inspired silk chiffon with an exquisite line of satin blush buttons down the front that will make your grandmother proud; the Anita, a textured lace caftan with artful embroidery; and the Poppy, a silk tulle gown with some of the finest bodice ruching you’ve ever seen.

The Heart + Sole collection is just the latest in a growing trend of affordably chic dresses. Anthropologie made their mark on the "It" girl’s bridal world in 2011 when they launched an in-house wedding line dubbed BHLDN. The latest look book keeps with the brand’s artful, vintage-inspired aesthetic (think modern texture married with vintage silhouettes) at a ridiculously low price point. (Many of BHLDN’s looks don’t top three figures.) ASOS also has a pretty impressive bridal collection. The e-tailer has a long list of dresses and accessories across a variety of aesthetics, all under $1,000. It doesn’t take much digging to find a gorgeous off-the-shoulder lace number or slinky modern halter.
The moral of this fairy tale? Kicking off your happily ever after can include a happy ending for your bank account without sacrificing style.
