I last posted about this topic in 2014 and it seems to be one of my more popular posts! I do understand the pain of searching for that perfect dress for your wedding or pre-wedding photoshoots but to avoid splurging on them, mainly because you'll probably wear them once and can't find an occasion to wear them again. In Singapore, the most formal occasion that you'll probably be invited to (if you're not a socialite) would be weddings, and even for weddings, you won't want to wear white and clash with the bride (an absolute no, no).
This cute outfit is short, flirty and fun with a cream touch!
So here's my list of affordable pre-wedding photoshoot dresses that are so pretty that they can also pass off as wedding or solemnisation dresses. All dresses below are in Singapore dollars and can be bought online from Singapore.
Flutter sleeves
I so love the cutting of flutter sleeve dresses because they remind me of the dress on Olivia Newton John when she was at the dance in Grease. Hers was actually a white spaghetti strap white dress with a chiffon shoulder wrap - a classic! Her white outfit could actually pass off for a wedding dress today, if only someone could recreate it...

These flutter sleeve dresses below give me that vibe anyway.
$53.90 from Love Bonito
$28.14 from The Closet Lover
Spaghetti Strap
Speaking of spaghetti strap white dresses, here's a number from Intoxiquette. Not quite the same as the one in Grease but it's definitely sweet and filled with pretty details such as the eyelet cutouts and ruffles!
$45.90 from Intoxiquette
Asymmetry
A maxi in full white with an asymmetrical twist! Modern and sassy...
$25.90 from Zalora
Tulle
Oh my gosh, yes to tulle, tulle and more tulle!!! Tulle is what gives that fairy-like feel, plus here are some non-white colours for those who are looking for something slightly different.

Lace
Last but not least, of course, we have to include dresses with lace! Here's one in cream, and the lace is gorgeous!

And this last one with a little peek-a-boo lace at the knees.

This rounds up my compilation and I hope this helps you find that perfect dress you are looking for without breaking the bank! :)
This post is as of 8 May 2020 and will no longer be updated. Maybe I'll create another list in September when wedding season begins again.
