Cheap Bridesmaids Dresses

Tips For Cutting Your Costs

When you’re a bride on a budget you need to find cheap bridesmaids dresses.

Going the usual route will set you back at least £100 per bridesmaid and that’s not including accessories or flowers!

Read on to starting saving on your dresses.

Ask your bridesmaids to help out
The best way to keep your budget low is to ask your attendants if they will pay for the dress themselves. For some, perhaps this is a little cheeky, but if you don’t ask you don’t know and it could save you fortune.

I got around this one by allowing my maids to choose and wear their own dresses. They got a dress they liked and could it wear again and again. I got happy bridesmaids and saved myself a couple of hundred quid.

If your attendants aren’t willing to help out, then suggest they pay for their shoes, accessories and any dress alterations. These little items all stack up and so you can save there.

Ebay, ebay, ebay!
Ideas for cheap bridesmaids dressesAnother way is to try eBay for bridesmaids dresses. A resourceful tool filled with bargains, but beware, it maybe hard to find identical dresses in the various sizes you need. The stores on eBay will help you out here as they’ll hold stock in various sizes, rather than the auction sellers who only have one item to sell.

Consider getting the dresses made
Alternatively, find a seamstress and get the dresses made. You can then control the cost a little more by choosing a cheaper fabric. All you need to do is find a pattern and off you go.

For greater flexibility for your maids, just buy them the fabric and get them to get the dress made. They can then choose a style they like and have a dress to wear again and again – that way they won’t mind paying for the dress to be made.

Buy second hand dresses
As mentioned elsewhere in the site, there are plenty of dress agencies that sell dresses. Sharethedream.net and sellmyweddingdress.com are both good options for finding cheap bridesmaids dresses.
