ON AVERAGE, brides in the UK spend between £1,300 and £1,500 on their wedding dress, with some designers even charging upwards of £10,000 for their gowns.
However, instead of forking out thousands for a designer option, many brides are finding the dress of their dreams on Shein for a fraction of the price.

To complete the fabulous ensemble, the London-based bride also ordered a pair of chic and dainty pearl earrings which cost her less than a quid[/caption]
Bride-to-be Sophie Cook, for example, found a stunning dress from the Chinese marketplace for just £40.
Meanwhile, another lucky lady spotted a jaw-dropping dress being priced at a cool £13.77, thanks to a mega 66% discount at the fast fashion giant.
Now, another bride, Laura Millan, has left people with their jaws on the floor with her incredibly cheap wedding outfit, which included a white gown for a mere £22.
The stunning bride took to TikTok to share snaps of the big day where she looked like a real-life princess in the figure-hugging gown.
In addition to her dress, Laura also snapped up a veil for £2.87, a breathtaking bouquet for £8.87 and a pair of gorgeous heels with pearl detailing for just under £15.
The stunning footwear, she added in the video, was so ”comfy” that she was even able to sprint ”to catch the Uber”.
To complete the fabulous ensemble, the London-based bride also ordered a pair of chic and dainty pearl earrings.
The jewellery, which set her back just 95p, truly complimented the wedding outfit and made Laura ”look a million bucks”, fans said.
Raving over the affordable finds, the gorgeous bride said that Shein was ”ideal for any 2026 brides on a budget”.
”It’s exactly what I wanted. To me the materials weren’t as important as the memories made.”
According to the TikToker, who posts under the username @themrsmillan, the off-the-shoulder dress was ”true to size and good quality”.
The 32-year-old and her hubby Levi, 36, also had a rather unconventional plan for the day, as they had their first dance as a married couple at an Oasis gig later that day at Wembley Stadium.
“I wanted something quick and easy which I wouldn’t mind getting ruined if I wore it to Oasis.”
The couple tied the knot at Camden Town Hall, in North London, in a 15-minute ceremony.

After grabbing drinks at an Irish bar and breakfast at a chicken restaurant, they changed out of their wedding attire before catching a Tube to the concert, the final one of the UK leg of the Live Forever band’s reunion tour.
Laura said: “When we met three years ago, we talked about how much we love Oasis and said Cigarettes and Alcohol would be our funeral song.
“Our son was born to the song.
“And at the concert, it felt like our first dance.”
‘I’d assume you spent hundreds on your outfit’
The gorgeous wedding look has taken the internet by storm, winning Laura close to a whopping 175k views in just one day, with dozens flocking to comments.

Another agreed, writing: ”A marriage is about two people who are in love and nothing matters but the two of you, not a whole day spending 50k.”
”You made that budget look a million bucks,” a third chimed in.
”If you never said [the prices], I’d assume you spent hundreds on your outfit. absolutely stunning,” someone else commented.
