Need help with bridesmaid dresses!

meganmrae · August 2013

I have bridesmaids all over the country (Florida, Ohio, Indiana, and Connecticut) and am looking for a place to find cheap bridesmaid dresses that they could all go and try on. I was thinking a department store might have them but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

I would love to find their dresses under $100... I went with 2 of the girls who live locally to me and we picked out a dress we all loved but unfortunately it was $230. I attached a picture of the dress for reference. I would love for something as close to this as possible, except my color is coral... So darker and more orange than the attached picture

if anyone sees this dress some place cheaper I would greatly appreciate it! (And I have already checked David's bridal.. They have a similar dress for $99 but my bridesmaids do not like the thickness of the rouching on the top)

Try Alfred Angelo - something like: http://www.alfredangelo.com/Collections/Bridesmaids/503/?pg=1

Are the girls coming to visit for a shower or bachelorette (if you're having one)? Could you all go shopping at that time?

You aren't going to find long bridesmaid dresses at a bridal salon for less than $100. Sorry, but it's true.

The reason you're not finding coral in stores is that it is a spring/summer color...and stores are starting to put out fall/winter collections.

This one is orange-orange, but sometimes you have to be flexible when you have such a low budget.

$100 for long dresses isn't realistic unless you luck out with finding them on clearance. Davids might be your best option.

Here are a few dresses that a somewhat simlar and around or under $100:

Does it have to be floor length? Shorter dresses are often more affordable. Examples:

Unfortunately, that is a Chinese seller. Likely not reputable.

If you/ the BM's don't care about purchasing the dress, my BM's are using littleborroweddress.com. They have super cute dresses in all styles and colors for a $50 rental fee. They mail you two different sizes two weeks ahead of time, you choose the one that fits the best, and mail them both back in a pre-paid envelope they provide for you! Some people don't like the idea, but it definitely helped my girls look great while keeping costs down!
