bridesmaid dress question - need som insight :-)

Hey Ladies!!!
I picked out my dresses @ a dress shop got a great deal on my dress $700 (if you can believe that). My girls are going to get there dresses there too. One bridesmaid from CT found it online cheaper. I hate to have the girls pay more (especially in todays economy) but I'm a bit nervous if they all get their dresses from different places. What if they're not the same? I heard that often orders are made at the same time for all the dresses so they all get cut from the same fabric?

Any feedback on this gals????

Also.....
WHat are some ways you guys are saving money?

Thanks sooo much & happy planning!!!!

I know you don't want to impose on the girls, but I would ask them to all order them from the same place. yeah I see dresses all the time on websites, but I'm scared what would actually arrive at my door.

One thing I'm doing to save money is using Vista Print for stds, accommodation cards, maybe menus and favor tags too.

Awesome deal that the dress!!!

As far as the BM dress go--- they really should be ordered at the same time because not all fabric is the same. Plus I would worry that it was not a reputable place that I am getting it from. I was able to work out a price for my BM dresses with Bridal Reflections based on the fact that I got my wedding dress there and on the number of girls I was having. So I would recommend talking to the store where you saw the dresses to see if there is a discount. I'm not sure where you live, but Burton's Flowers also has a dress shop upstairs and they have all the top name designers and i hear their prices are reasonable.

Good Luck!!!

i agree about having the girls going to the same place. the biggest thing is the dye cut. you want to make sure the color of the dress matches.

there are a LOT of ways to save money! i'm doing a good amount of stuff myself and anything that i'm not i make sure i found the best price and did what could fit into our budget good luck!

Thanks ladies!
I will talk to the shop asap.
I was nervous about the BM getting their dresses online, so you guys gave me some good insight. I will see how I can wheel & deal a price for them...

** I love vista print, got my STD's there too!
