i’m always amazed at the prices of flower girl dresses at the local bridal stores. yes, i get they’re made with the same fine quality materials as bridesmaids’ dresses… but to have to spend MORE on a flower girl dress than a bridesmaids dress bothers me. before you and your flower girl’s mommy pick out the cutest tulle number for $200+, check out your local department stores for easter dresses that would be perfect for flower girls and can be half… if not more than half the cost of bridal store flower girl dresses.
here’s a few ideas that are in stores now:
laura ashley with pink tulle at macy’s – $19.99
bonnie baby polka dot dress at dillards – $30.00
issac mizrahi “igloo” satin dress at target – $17.49*
*available with a variety of sash colors including white, pink, magenta, black, aqua and lime
cinderella sequins dress at jcpenney was $59.99, now $34.99
also, kohl’s has a 40 to 50% off sale going on currently.
and… sears has a 40% sale going on through today!
easter is next sunday, april 12, so start shopping now as sales are already going on and will probably continue through the week of april 13.
happy shopping, let me know what you find! :)

Tara - That polka dot dress from Dilliards is TOO CUTE! Love it!April 3, 2009 – 8:51 am
Corey - Also hit up Marshalls/TJ Maxx or Ross this time of year for a massive selection of Easter dresses for a fraction of the cost!
If you miss out on this time of year to buy, hit up Etsy. I always see the cutest gowns there for a fraction of the Bridal Store cost. That’s always made me mad too, I can’t imagine how they justify that beyond, “I don’t have a choice, this is what the bride picked out.”April 3, 2009 – 7:01 am
