Getting the perfect dress at a reasonable price is not the easiest thing. Brides tend to spend thousands of rands on either having the perfect dress made or hiring it. If you’re running tight on budget or would just like to save on your overall look, the Wedding Etc style team found the perfect ‘I do’ look for just under R3000.
When choosing a store-bought dress, here are a couple of things to look out for:
– How the dress flatters your body type.
– The seam finishes and quality of the material.
– A style that you can also repurpose by wearing it to an evening out or any formal occasion.
Next up, choose an earring based on the hairstyle you will be having. A slightly larger earring suits an updo perfectly. A mix of silver and gold is also a huge trend in jewellery right now, as it will go with almost anything.
A neutral heel is always a perfect solution when deciding on the colour of a shoe. Not only is it a good staple shoe to have in your closest, but you can wear it with almost any look, whether it’s casual or more dressed up.

The former Bachelorette and her fiancé, who met on her season of the show in 2017, recently exchanged vows at the Royalton Suites Cancún in Mexico. The non-televised wedding, which is quite unusual for the franchise, was only attended by a handful of Bachelor Nation alums, which included Kristina Schulman, Astrid Loch, and Bibiana Julian.
The couple exchanged vows in a beautiful “island chic” ceremony in Mexico, recruiting celebrity wedding planner Mikie Russo to put together their gorgeous ceremony filled with lush green and white florals.
It’s her daring take on her bridal look, however, that really caught our eye:

Rachel wore a Randi Rahm gown, which featured a sheer top with short sleeves and a gorgeous sequin leaf print detail. A wide white belt separated her top from her flowing tulle skirt. Bryan also looked super handsome in his tux for the event, which featured a creme jacket with black lapels, a black bow tie and black pants.
Because Rachel initially wanted to wear pants to her wedding, she then changed up her look to a pair of high-waisted shorts later in the day, which still went perfectly with her ‘fancy t-shirt’.

Keeping her hair sleek and pulled back, Rachel showed off her glowing skin and perfect red pout thanks to make-up artist Gina Modica and hairstylist Cynthia Alvarez.
