Last Minute FG-Flowergirl Dress Help Needed

OK, I am almost two months away from my wedding...FH and I were at his families house this weekend, and FSIL mentions that her daughters (4 and 6) will be at the church for the wedding. FH then says (I still cannot believe this) 'well, since they are going to be at the church, why dont we have them in the wedding as FGs?' My face looked like this

Dont get me wrong, I love his nieces, but we had decided not to have FGs. We are 2 mos from the wedding. Can his sister still get FG dresses this late? She will probably get something less expensive, I was thinking of Davids Bridal....anyone get their FG dress from there??

GAH, the stress. Good thing I love the man or I would have strangled him. He STILL doesnt understand 'whats the big deal'

We got ours at tricounty. It took 3 weeks to come in because they didn't have the right size. If they had my niece's size, we would have been able to leave that day with it.

I second TriCounty. I bought my flowergirl's dress there right off the rack...a simple sleeveless with satin waistband and princess-y full skirt. Very reasonably priced!!

You can try ebay too. I bought my dresses off a vendor on there and they were very reasonable...They got here in 4 days too!

My FGs got their dresses from Davids. They were about $100 (with 15%) off. They tried them on that day and took them home.

First off, I can only imagine!!! Calm down, take a breath. There feel better?......
Try Target, they have little girl dresses that are not too expensive, and they do take back if it does not fit etc. I know someone who did this. They ended up getting a very nice dress for a lot less money.
Good luck.

I would try a major department store - Macy's, Lord and Taylor, Bloomingdales. They have alot of pretty summer dresses out...

I got mine at Bloomingdales....

2 months is plenty of time, unless you are getting something fancy schmancy or a replica of your gown.

you can walk right into NYCK in NYC and get the dresses..

Re: Last Minute FG-Flowergirl Dress Help Needed

Thanks so much for the suggestions, FH is going to call his sister to see if this is really going to happen...I told him since he did it, he can handle the details. If the girls are going to be in the wedding, I at least feel better that I have time to get their dresses. I did everything so in advance and so I am pi$sed off that I have to throw this in at the last minute. Especially since they live in Buffalo, so it is pretty complicated.
But I love the girls, and always wanted FGs so I am getting excited about the idea. FH finally realized what 'the big deal' was. I told him he is no longer allowed to speak without checking with me until the wedding day

Definitely go to TriCounty, that woman has beautiful dresses and great prices, and if she doesn't have a size she can get it within 2 weeks. BUT GO NOW!
