This might surprise you, but you don't have to be disappointed in the search for an affordable, fuss-free wedding dress for your special day when there are endless budget-friendly options online, secondhand gowns, and even dresses you can buy straight off-the-rack to choose from. One thing's certain is that is we've come a long way since the hassle of only having custom-made and traditional wedding dresses as options.

Regardless of what your budget is for your wedding, an affordable dress isn't such a bad idea. So we've done the rounds and found the best six dresses we would purchase, all coming in at less than $200.
