Brides Maids Dresses...???

mrsneal11 · October 2009

I am having the hardest time finding green brides maid dresses that are in a decent price range. I dont want my maids to have to pay for than $150. I have found sooo many ones that I love from J. Crew but they are soo expensive! Anyone have any good ideas of places to look???

Nordstrom.com, dillards.com, bluefly.com, maybe David's Bridal. Or look on eBay for the J. Crew ones. I've seen a ton of brand-new J. Crew dresses on eBay for less than a hundred dollars each.

Most of David's Bridal's dresses are under $150.Pearl's Place, RK Bridal and Jay's Bridal all carry discounted bridesmaid dresses. I believe those 3 are all brick and mortar stores. Netbride is another, though I don't think they have an actual store. Also check out JCPenney, Macy's, Nordstrom, Target, etc.

Start shopping sale racks. However if you're not getting married until 2011, don't even start looking for about another year.

Jcrew offers 20% off coupons every 6 weeks or so which can make their dresses much closer to $150. They also put almost all of them on sale every 3-4 months so you could wait until they all go on sale. My friend just did this, I got my BM dress from Jcrew this week for only $80. Even though they said they were final sale (no returns), JCrew makes exceptions for bridal parties so we could still return them if they didn't fit for some reason.

I went with DB because of their prices, I didn't want to make my BMs spend a butt load of money on a dress they will most likely wear once.Although I had a super CRAPPY experience with DB, their dresses were the cheapest I could find at $135. Davids ended up giving them free alterations because of the mess I had to deal with. You can see the dresses here:http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v233/SaraAlexine00/?action=view&current=ASW-35.jpgDon't know if thats the green you're looking for. If so, the color is olivine.

David's Bridal, like everybody else said, is comparatively inexpensive (I think the most expensive BM gown they have is like $160, most of them are cheaper). Also, if you get your own gown through them, your BP gets an additional $20 off their dresses. Also, if you use DB for the girls, Men's Wearhouse gives you a discount if you use them for your guys.

Depending on the style you are looking for, keep an eye on the Macy's clearance rack. No joke. I got a Calvin Klein dress for a formal work even for $30. I have found that the Macy's in the richest neighborhoods have the best clearance, because it gets cleared out too fast in less affluent places. At $30-$40/dress, you could just grab all the sizes you need and have them pay you back.

You have plenty of time- wait for the JCrew ones to go on sale.

Another idea would be to check stores like Marshall's and TJ Maxx. Sometimes they have duplicates of the same dress. I've paid about $25-$40 for nice cocktail dresses there. Anntaylor.com sometimes has good sales on their Weddings & Parties dresses.Ditto those who said to wait. If you're getting salon dresses, you can order around 6 months out, sometimes 4 months. If you're getting off-the-rack dresses from a regular store, you can wait until about 3 or 2 months out.
