All outfits listed were in stock and priced as shown at the time this was written. Dulhan is not compensated for any of the following recommendations.
Nestled among the never-ending costs that can blow your carefully calculated wedding budget are your wedding outfits.
A designer wedding lehnga can easily cost several thousand dollars. Multiply that price tag by four? No, thank you!
Fortunately for you, I’ve spent WAY too much time scrolling through wedding hashtags and following every South Asian wedding account known to man. Which means that in addition to feeling like I live inside of a Bollywood wedding song, I’ve also come across beautiful outfits that happen to be *gasp* affordable.
And, because we shouldn’t have it any other way in a COVID world, each of these outfits can be shipped straight to your doorstep.
Here’s a look at 20 budget-friendly bridal lehngas.
