Claire Pettibone/Saja on a Budget

kswanger123

Looking for suggestions on dress/designers similar to the STUNNING gowns designed by Claire Pettibone and Saja (My favorite is the Queen Anne's Lace by Claire Pettibone!) without the insane price tags.  My fiance and I are teachers/Grad school students and are on a budget.  I would love something vintage-y and simple, but still beautiful, and the less expensive the better!  Thanks for any advice!

This DB is a little vintage inspired. Not similar to Claire Pettibone but it's flowy and lacy.

There's also something like this from Modcloth, which doesn't have "bridal" dresses per se, but that just makes the price more reasonable.  This dress is $185 for 100% silk:
