Hey budget-savvy beauties and dapper gents! Prom night is just around the corner, and guess what? You can slay the dance floor without emptying your wallet. Let’s dive into the ultimate guide on how to rock prom on a budget, with affordable prom dresses and beautiful shoes stealing the spotlight.
Although it is easy to get caught up in the fantasy of pricey designer gowns, there are so many affordable options out there- from secondhand or rented gowns to inexpensive dresses from Amazon or Lulu’s. The dresses below are all on Amazon and ring in at less than $80! And they come in so many colors it’s easy to find the perfect look for your big night.
If renting a designer gown that makes a statement is more your speed, take a look at options from Rent The Runway. Should you decide to go this route, I advise you to start browsing as early as possible and reserve a couple of dresses from the date you need, as options become extremely limited at the last minute. This might be an amazing way to do it, though, as you have access to super upscale formal gowns, like the ones below:
Once you have chosen your dress, you can move on to finding a pair of beautiful shoes that won’t have you eating ramen for a month. The shoes below are all from Amazon, and just like the dresses above they come in so many different colors. These are all highly rated but make sure you do your own research and read the reviews to determine whether their comfort level will work for you. (Of course you can always do what I did for my senior prom and borrow a pair of shows from a friend!)
Remember, budget divas, prom night isn’t about how much you spend; it’s about feeling fabulous. So, check out these affordable options and let’s make prom night unforgettable without burning a hole in your pocket.
