Tips To Buy A Flower Girl Dress For Less

By Debra Cooley


Weddings are very special occasions, and while every bride wants the day to be perfect, many face financial constraints. Buying a flower girl dress for less than retail is an easy way to save money. There are lots of beautiful dresses available, but there is no reason to spend hundreds of dollars on something that can be obtained for far less, and still look as though it broke the bank.

Some shops will offer a discount on the flower girl dress if the bride and her bridesmaids purchase their dresses from them. This can be a good place to start. Although some shops may not offer this option, they all want the business, and losing a sale of several dresses over discounting the price of the flower girl dress is not good business. Approach the salesperson, or even the owner of the shop and ask if they would be willing to do this.

Many fabric stores have a beautiful selection of fabrics that are wedding specific. Explore the possibility of having a seamstress make the garment from scratch; this can save a significant amount of money. It also offers the flexibility of choosing custom fabrics and designs that may not be available elsewhere. The options available when choosing this route are endless. Also, having it handmade means that if alterations are required closer to the big date, they can be done by the person who made the dress.

Another option to save money is to check at discount stores. While the options available may not be as fancy as required for the occasion, it can always be altered with bows, ribbons or other items to make it special and unique. Even if alterations are required to make it fir great these costs will often be considerably less than buying from a boutique.

Local consignment stores may have a good selection of these items. Visit a few and speak to the staff, letting them know what type of gown is needed, and providing them with contact information. If something comes in that fits the description, they can call. Consignment stores generally accept merchandise that is in good to perfect condition, and sell for far less than retail costs.

Local online classifieds are great places to find deals. Most postings have a picture or multiple pictures with them, and prices may be negotiable as well. Always see the item first hand before exchanging money for it, and also ensure that it as it has been described. Check to see if the item can be tried on before purchase, or of they will take it back if it does not fit properly.

There are a variety of websites that are buy and sell directories specifically for wedding apparel and supplies. These may include new or previously owned items that are in a saleable condition. This can be a successful way of finding quality items at a lower price.

Purchasing a flower girl dress for less can definitely be a great way to help save money without it appearing that way. There are many options for finding a good bargain, yet getting exactly what is desired. Start early to ensure there is enough time to find exactly the right dress. Just be sure not to start too early, or the flower girl may outgrow it before the big day.
