flower girl dresses help!

hi, can anyone suggest any cheap flowergirl dresses??
I thought £20 was cheap but when you've got 3 bridesmaids and needing to hire 8suits this is now not cheap as i have 6to buy! it seemed a good idea at the time but not so sure it is!!

any suggestions would be great (and deals etc)

thanks x

Do you really need to here 8 suits? That would take a chunk from your budget. Many people (including me) are jut getting the men to wear ones they already own.

As for FG dresses- no idea. £20 each seems cheap to me, u could probably find them 2nd hand on eBay, but in that case they won't all be matching.

Agree with this - we'll just be hiring 3 suits, for the groom, best man (his brother) and usher (my brother). Everyone else can wear what they like! Buttonholes for the important men will show they are important/part of the wedding party.

As for the dresses...I think you might struggle to get them cheaper than that. I just had a quick look around for you online and even Matalan's are £35 each. Again...do you really need 6 flowergirls?! Budget may have to constrain wedding party?

I have 8 men in suits and 3 bridesmaids too!

I would recommend keeping an eye on BHS when they have their sales. Their junior bridesmaids are about £30 in the sale so if they're younger it may be cheaper.

TK Maxx have some nice cheap (£20 ish) flower girl dresses. It may be difficult to get that many there in the right sizes that match though.

Failing that, you'll need to wait for sales at BHS/debenhams/next to get them that cheaply.

Have you checked gumtree and free ads, or local Facebook for sale pages? Sometimes people will sell collections of dresses that they used. I don't think £20 is too bad tbh... I paid £40 for mine and that was my limit.
We have six suits to get, we have paid £20 towards each persons and they are paying the £60 extra.. And we are obviously paying for the grooms!
