Where To Buy A Flower Girl Dress For Less

By Debra Cooley


Having the perfect wedding does not need to break the bank. There are many smart ways to pay less, and sometimes considerably less, than retail and still get quality items that will look as though they were not bargains. One way is to buy a flower girl dress for less than expected, and still end up with a beautiful garment.

When a bride and her bridesmaids purchase their dresses from the same place, there are some shops that will offer a lower price on the flower girl attire if it is purchased there as well. It is always a good idea to see if the sales person will offer a discount before agreeing to buy from them. Often, they will discount the price rather than lose the sale altogether, so it is always prudent to ask if this is something they would be willing to accommodate.

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.

Discount stores may have a surprising selection. Even if the color and style are not exactly what is needed or desired, money can be saved, in most cases, by having an item from a discount store altered to fit and appear different. Lace, bows, sequins, beads and other items can be used to make it dressier and to match the garments worn by other members of the wedding party.

Contacting a local store that accepts children's clothing on consignment is another great way to help cut costs. If they do not immediately have anything, ask them to get in touch if something comes in that fits what is required. These types of shops are known to accept only clothing that is in tip top condition, and offer it for sale for prices that are less than the original cost.

Looking online for websites in the area that sell used items is also a good way to find less expensive dresses. Most people post pictures of what they have for sale, and if it is a local buy and sell website, the items can be viewed in person before purchase. If it is not a local website, ensure that they have a refund policy if it turns out that the dress does not fit or if there is something wrong with it.

Other online resources are buy and sell websites that focus specifically on wedding related items. Used and even new dresses can be posted on these, and the costs are often far less than what they would be in a retail environment. They may also allow for wanted ads where people looking for specific things can post an advertisement and potential sellers can contact them.

By starting as early as able, saving money on an item like this is a distinct possibility. Keep in mind that starting too early can mean that the girl will outgrow the dress by the wedding date. There are several options when looking to buy a flower girl dress for less, all of which can cost far less than expected, yet not appear that way.
