With the economic shift taking on a more conservative mindset, designers Mark Badgley and James Mischka have decided to launch a new line of affordable, yet LUX-urious wedding gowns! This is excellent news for all the brides-to-be who are on the look out for their ideal gown and wanting to feel GLAM without the hefty price tag.

“Obviously, with the recession, everything has slowed down to a certain degree,” Badgley said. “We definitely know that we need to broaden our reach.”

The signature of the Badgley Mischka LUX brand is high-end designer detail that normally runs within the $8,000 to $10,000 price range.  With this new line they’ll offer12 styles to choose from and the dresses will retail from $2,000 to $4,000. Expect the same level of exquisite craftsmanship as their signature line, with intricate beading, latticework and specialized design features.
