Do you know any good sources for cheap flower girl dresses?

Question

I'm looking for matching flower girl dresses for a 4 year old and an 8 year old. I do not want their parents to have to pay $100 for a dress for them. It's a Christmas wedding and the bridesmaids are wearing bright red; the tuxes have silver vests and red ties. I want the girls to wear white or white and red. We are looking at silver flower baskets.

I've looked through the first page of results of a google search for cheap flower girl dresses, but I'm still looking. I'd tell their parents just to find a white dress on their own, but I'd reall like the girls to match (one's from his side, the other's from mine).

Any suggestions on where to find a dress, that is available in both sizes? If possible I'd like to keep it under $40. I've seen a few but they weren't quite right.

Answer 1

My wedding planner offered a great suggestion which I am using in my wedding. She suggested using first communion and\or christening gowns. These can be found at local retailers and even a place like a farmer's market or flea market. They are a lot cheaper and very good quality.

Answer 2

Have you tried e-bay.  That's where my flower girl's mom got her dress from.  They had an option to buy it now without bidding on it for $35, and had it in all different sizes.  It was an ivory dress so that particular one probably isn't too useful to you, but I would expect they would have some similar options if you do a search for white flower girl dresses.

Answer 3

there are some on sale at davids bridal the ones i have seen are on sale for like 40$

Answer 4

Lil Dollys...designed by Dolly Pardon, can be ordered on line and are absolutely adorable!  You can get the dress, petticoat and all for less than 100.00!  We had 2 girls in red and I don't think I much more than 100.00 for both!

Answer 8

For my daughter's wedding, we went through a local children's boutique here in our town. The dress I bought was a tea length & it was beautiful. I paid $51.00 for it.  

Answer 9

Try a department store.  If it's around XMas time it's perfect, all the XMas dresses will be out.  I got my flower girls at JC Penney and we bought it around Easter time and it was only $40

Good Luck

Answer 12

Go to a department store such as JCPenny or Sears and shop in the little girls department. With the holidays coming soon they should have some coming out. Also you may be able to find coupons for the department stores. Just check out their sales ad in the newspaper. Where I live there a boutique called Just Girls ( locally owned) and they have "party dresses" Is there a boutique such as that in your town?

Good luck!!!!
