Monsoon wedding dresses are perfect for brides-to-be on a budget

Trend-led designs + high street prices = wedding day win πŸ‘°

By and

Monsoon wedding dresses are something of an institution for brides-to-be. While the high street has really upped its bridal game in recent years with the likes of Whistles creating wedding dresses to rival designer gowns, Monsoon has been a mainstay in the game for a long time now. Not only does the brand offer fashion-forward styles, its prices are hella affordable. Triple figures is more than reasonable for a wedding dress, IMO. Perfect for those either on a budget or simply keen to nab a bargain (i.e. literally everyone).

So what's the brand's 2024 bridal offering like, you ask? Well, you're in for a treat. Combining delicate beading, intricate floral embroidery and swathes of frothy tulle, Monsoon's 2024 wedding collection is truly whimsical. Staying true to its bohemian routes, there's more than one boho wedding dress on offer. The brand has also looked to the current spring summer fashion trends for inspo, adding corsage detailing and updating timeless silhouettes with modern cuts.

With every neckline covered, from long sleeves to strapless, there are also options when it comes to hem lengths with short wedding dresses proving popular with celebs including Sofia Richie and Barbara Palvin. And, with even a bridal jumpsuit plus a two-piece top and skirt co-ord included in the latest collection, there really is something for every bride.

To that end, and without further ado, scroll down to see our picks of the best Monsoon wedding dresses to shop this season.

Two words: feather trim. We've long had a love affair with short wedding dresses, with a mini hem length made all the better with the addition of an ostrich feathered trim. The best part? It's removable, giving you two dresses in one should you want to add it to the dress just before you hit the dance floor.

There are plenty of reasons to choose a two-piece over a dress – you get three looks in one, it's easier to re-wear post-wedding, and when it's as dreamy as the Isla bustier bridal top and coordinating full maxi skirt, we don't really need any more convincing.

It's back to not-so-basics with the Sienna dress. Sure, the intricate lace and spotted mesh detailing may have all the retro vibes, but capped sleeves and a front slit bring it firmly into 2024.
