retro inspired budget wedding dresses

Hot. Steamy. Sunny.

That’s what the weather in Las Vegas is like during traditional wedding season, May through August. Vegas is even hot April through October, depending on where you are coming from. That makes it the perfect place to wear a stylishly short wedding gown!

If you are trying to stay on budget with your wedding, you may not have thought to look to non-traditional wedding gown sources for some short, modern wedding dress options. The 10 options below from ModCloth are perfect for summer wedding in Vegas – or spring or summer! These are also great options for a second dress, for use in a photo session or at your reception or after-party.

Pair the dress with a shrug or bolero jacket for the ceremony and then take it off for a more revealing look during the reception. The best feature, I think is that the dresses are completely re-wearable, for anniversary dinners or any other occasion to remind you of your wedding day.

The selections below range from $72.99-$487.99, with most priced around $120. What a steal!

A-line full skirted dresses are flattering for all heights and shapes and Dinner Party Darling is a perfect example. Alternating matte and shiny fabric with an accenting bow belt in front and detailed buttons up the back, you will look good from all angles in this pretty little party dress. I think it would look especially striking with a pair of boldly colored kitten heels while being wed against the golden backdrop of Red Rock Canyon at sunset.

Beautiful and Unique Snowflake is a Grecian styled gown perfect for sunset vows at Caesars Palace! With an airy drop hem currently in style but a sheer asymmetrical strap, this dress offers mega trend points but is still understated and classy. The “snowflake” in the name refers to tiny polka-dots all over the sheer overlay.  Sparkling accessories would make this dress come alive.
