How to Find Inexpensive Flower Girl Dresses
Flower girl dresses should coordinate with bridesmaid dresses at least in color. Unfortunately flower girl dresses tend to cost as much as a full sized dress. If you are trying to control costs for the wedding party then selecting a flower girl dress in the same color but a different style might save you some money.
Flower girl dresses are usually for a young girl aged three to seven. Traditionally the parents of the flower girl purchase the dress, and finding an inexpensive dress can help keep within a budget.
- Obtain a swatch of the color of
the bridesmaid dresses. - Discuss the option of purchasing a
lower cost flower girl dress in a matching color. - Visit your local retail mall with
the color swatch. Browse through the stores looking for an elegant
dress for the flower girl in a matching color. - Try on several dresses to achieve
the best fit for the child. - Decide what dresses match the
color most closely and fit the best. - Take pictures of each dress and
send to the bride via email or picture message while you are still
shopping. - If the bride is unavailable at the
time to discuss the dresses with, then ask the sales clerk to hold
the dresses for 24 hours until you can discuss the options. - If you do not find a dress in any
local retail store, then browse the Internet for the best deals
available. - It is crucial if ordering the
dress online to allow ample time for shipping and returns in the
case that the dress is not acceptable.
