happywifehappylife Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Hi everyone! I'm new to the community and recently got engaged! We are planning our wedding for next summer out of state. Since 3 out of 5 of my bridesmaids will be traveling to the wedding I'm trying to keep the cost of the bridesmaid dresses really affordable for them since they will be flying and staying in a hotel. The wedding will be formal, but I don't want them to have to spend a lot of money. Does anyone have any good websites/designers where I can find bridesmaid dresses for $100 or less? Thanks!

Tayla Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Try Davids Bridal or any Google search can bring up websites that cater to wedding attire. Have you considered a customer design? Buy your own materials for the pattern then send it off for cut and sew? THere are plenty of websites that do that as well. And its cost saving in the long run because its already hemmed correctly and made to measurement Link to post Share on other sites
CLC2008 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'd suggest David's Bridal too, or Bridal Sassique online. Link to post Share on other sites
Star Gazer Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Check out the Maggie London dresses at Nordstrom and Macy's. My last BM dress was from Nordie's and was $96 I think. Link to post Share on other sites
rocket182 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Just search around different stores. Go onto message boards like "the knot" and see if there's any cupons. my sister got a cupon from there that made her bridesmaids dresses go down from $150 to $60. Link to post Share on other sites
sunshinegirl Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I'm having my bridesmaids wear any dress they want that's navy blue. So some are choosing BM dresses from prior weddings; or blue dresses that were already in their closet that would work as a BM dress; others are finding things at price points that are comfortable for them. I don't care about material, hem length, or whether the blues match. Link to post Share on other sites
threebyfate Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Forget the standard bridesmaid dresses since you're getting ripped off most of the time for poor worksmanship, poor material dresses at silly prices. Go find your dresses in the dress section of a decent store, then have them properly tailored to fit the girls. Link to post Share on other sites

Even if they can't afford tailoring, you'll find much nicer dresses your bridesmaids won't cringe to wear at virtually any store other than a bridal store. Hell, my cousin had her bridesmaids in dresses from J Crew's bridesmaid selection and they were actually pretty decent - just simple summer dresses that didn't make people's eyes bleed.
