Where To Buy A Flower Girl Dress For Less

By Debra Cooley


Every bride wants her big day to be as perfect as possible, however, many do not have an endless cash flow. One way to save a few dollars is to buy a flower girl dress for less than the retail price. There are numerous dresses to choose from without breaking the bank, without it appearing cheap.

One way to do this is to inquire at the shop where the bride and her maid of honor and bridesmaids will purchase their dresses for the occasion. Many shops are willing to allow for a discount on the flower girl attire when coupled with the other dresses. Ask upfront if this is possible, and if it is not, consider dealing with another place, or at least allude to that to see if they can be swayed.

Visit fabric shops and discover all of the patterns and fabrics that are available. Hiring an experienced seamstress to have the flower girl gown hand made. Not only does this allow for any possibility of fabrics and colors, it will be far more special if the girl is allowed to help select the fabric and pattern used.

Checking discount stores in the area might turn up a great find as well. Even if an item is found that is not exactly what the bride has pictured, it can be dressed up with some lace or other adornments. Considerable money can be saved, even if it needs to be altered to fit perfectly.

Contacting consignment stores may turn up a great find as well. This type of shop usually only accepts items that are in great, if not excellent shape, without stains, rips or other damage, and sell them to their customers at far less than what they would have originally cost. If nothing is immediately available, ask the staff to call if something comes in.

Local buy and sell websites may turn up an inexpensive dress. Buyers can post for what they are looking to purchase on these sites as well, which may garner some results. Always see the item in question before purchasing, and have the flower girl try it on if at all possible before buying. If the seller is not local, find out if there is a return policy, otherwise, if the item does not fit, money will have been spent on something that cannot be used.

Some websites are dedicated to acquiring and selling used, and sometimes new, wedding supplies and apparel. There is the possibility of significant savings. The selection at one of these sites varies, but it is worth checking back on a regular basis to see what has become available.

Buying a flower girl dress for less is sometimes easier than thought. There are many resources available for the frugal bride to find bargains and save money on her wedding. Starting early usually returns the best results, although starting too early can result in a gown that the flower girl has outgrown by the big day.
