There's no denying that being in a wedding can really add up. For the bridal party, there's the bachelorette party, the bridal shower, and a whole host of other little costs that can pop up, even before the wedding day comes into play. So when it comes to finding the perfect bridal party dresses, consider options that are not only stylish but also affordable. Whether you're tying the knot in the spring or summer, fall or winter, there's no shortage of gorgeous and budget-conscious dresses to dress your bridal squad in.
Expensive fabrics like silk and details like hand-beading and embroidery can increase the overall price of a bridal party dress.
From velvet gowns to off-the-shoulder midis to pretty pastel styles, affordable bridal party dresses come in a multitude of silhouettes and fabrics that look and feel luxe. For bridesmaids with a classic aesthetic, there are scores of budget-friendly bridal party dresses crafted from simple chiffon with elegant necklines. For bold tastes, styles in punchy colors and prints are an unexpected approach. And for the laidback bride, effortless silhouettes, such as sheaths and slip dresses, always make for an easy and timeless choice.
To help you narrow down your choices (and get the most bang for your buck), read on for the best bridal party dresses under $100.

What to Look for in Affordable Bridal Party Dresses
Shopping for an affordable bridal party dress doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style to stay within budget. In fact, many retailers and designers offer budget-friendly bridal party dresses in all the latest colors, trends, and silhouettes.
Once you start the shopping process, it's important to pay attention to fabric details and product descriptions. Why? These descriptions will tell you everything you need to know about a dress, right down to whether it's lined or made from a shiny or matte fabric. If you're unsure of what a certain color or fabric will look like in real life, ordering swatches can help you make a more informed decision. Lastly, when you're working within a budget, it's important to always factor in the cost of shipping and alterations.
