On your marks, get set, shop your perfect wedding dress for a fraction of the price of a designer one thanks to Monsoon’s quiet bridal dress sale
Let’s be honest, wedding dresses are famously beautiful, but not famously affordable. And while we’d all love to say “I do” in a couture gown, our budgets often have other ideas. That’s why brides-to-be on budgets should run to Monsoon right now, where some of the best high street wedding dresses are quietly on sale, with prices starting from just £120.
Whether you’re planning a laid-back registry office ceremony or a countryside 200-person party, Monsoon has bridal looks that feel genuinely designer, without the designer price tag. And the best part? They’re beautifully made, flattering and made to fit all shapes. We’ve rounded up four of the most gorgeous wedding dress deals from their current sale to help you find “the one” and still have money left for the honeymoon.
First up is the elegant Grace satin shirt dress. It’s the perfect example of how high street bridalwear has hit a new level.

If you’re more of a romantic, let us point you towards Lucy. This embroidered floral maxi dress is a whimsical dream – think garden party meets vintage fairytale. The intricate embroidery and soft tulle overlay make it look far more expensive than its £525 price tag (down from £750) suggests, and it’s easy to imagine this floating down the aisle at a countryside venue or woodland celebration. It’s also surprisingly lightweight, which is a win if you’re marrying in warmer weather or want to dance the night away without feeling swamped in fabric.
Now, if it’s drama you’re after, Maddie delivers. This off-shoulder wedding dress will make jaws drop. The Bardot neckline is flattering on almost everyone, showing just enough shoulder without feeling too revealing, and the fitted lace bodice adds a lovely vintage touch. It flares out into a full skirt that moves beautifully, whether you’re gliding down the aisle or twirling through your first dance. Currently priced at £262.50, it has a saving of over £100.
Finally, there’s Isla– the perfect pick for brides who want to build their own look. This simple but sophisticated bridal skirt is just £120 (down from £150) and offers a chic base for creating a mix-and-match ensemble. Pair it with a beaded top, a satin camisole, or even a vintage blouse to create something truly personal. It’s also a brilliant option for second weddings, civil ceremonies, or anyone who wants a less formal feel without compromising on style. Plus, since you can wear the pieces separately later on, it’s got post-wedding outfit potential too.
Elsewhere on the high street wedding dress market, Nobody’s Child’s White Bandeau Maxi Lena Bridal Dress, £200, is a gorgeous pick. for any classic bride. Lightly lined with a concealed zip fastening and a bandeau neck, it has all the subtle details of a dress well above its price point.
