When you consider that the average duration of a wedding ceremony is roughly half an hour and the reception comes out to about four, it makes complete sense that not all brides are interested in spending their life’s savings or, say, the price of a car, on a dress they will likely wear for four and a half hours plus pictures. If you happen to be one of these ladies (like an office friend of mine who actually requested this story!) and have impending nuptials on the horizon, then you’ll be quite pleased with today’s roundup of wedding dresses under $1000. From off-the-shoulder to long-sleeve and classic strapless styles, we’ve got something for every bride and budget!
