Where can you find an off-the-peg designer wedding dress for under £500 [Part 3]
Many thanks to reader Fiona who suggested that we check out Etsy for affordable wedding frocks. In fact, we liked her genius idea so much that we decided to investigate further, and found that handmade weddings are indeed big business on Etsy. Here’s my top six Etsy wedding dresses under £500…
Above, from left: ‘Helen’ silk charmeuse and silk chiffon wedding gown,US$600 by Love June; and ‘A peaceful afternoon dress’ in ivory silk and antique lace, US$515, by Sarah Seven.
Above, from left: ‘Calla Lilly’ empire-cut sheath in heavy double crepe with a matt satin bodice, US$500, by London Demimonde; and Organza lace, silk satin wedding dress, custom-made to order (with matching veil), US$975 by Bellina Bridal.
Above, from left: ‘June’ tea-length wedding dress in Italian silk Duchess satin, US$800, by Lizzie Jane’ and ‘Ghost dress’ in cascading English net and tulle straps, US$650 by English Dept.

Glad you liked the tip! Etsy is pretty much my answer to just about anything.
I love love love the ‘Calla Lilly’ by London Demimonde - this has really inspired me to visit her in London, when i go to try on dresses there. It’s a one off but she can make others. The shape would be so flattering for a short bride-to-be like me!
Great selection BirdyMoola - thanks - I’m sure it will inspire others too.
Just wanted to say thank you for featuring my wedding dress on your blog! I’m actually a British designer based in London so it’s lovely to be included! All the dresses above are beautiful, well done!
Does anyone know what happened to London Demimonde’s website? It doesn’t seem to work any longer and I’m very interested in the “Calla Lily” dress. Anyone have an idea? Unfortunately, I can’t visit the boutique in London as I’m overseas.
