Every woman wants to look beautiful for her wedding, but now more and more couples are opting to spend less on their big days--and that means the hunt is on for fantastic lower-priced dresses. Here are five of our favorite bargain beauties-each of which can be yours for $500 or less!


For a Daytime Wedding
Alice + Olivia Dress
Add some glam to your daytime wedding in Alice + Olivia's mini-dress ($368 at Neiman Marcus). Inspired by 1920s fashions, the dress's silk slip is covered by a sheer white chiffon overlay with an Art-Deco-style burnout pattern. Pair the dress with a soft updo and berry-stained lips and you'll look retro but not costume-y.
