Ideas 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.

Finding a beautiful pattern and hiring a seamstress can cut the costs considerably. The great thing about using a pattern and having the garment handmade is that it will be tailored to look exactly as desired. There are many different patterns to choose from, as well as an endless array of fabric colors and textures. Having the item made by hand makes it even more special than buying it from a store, and the pattern can be cut to fit like a glove.

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.

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.

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.

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.
