BUDGET. There’s that word again…
Wedding ’stuff’ really only gets used once… and then what do you do with it? Those cool centerpieces, the little box or bird cage that holds your many gift cards, the wedding bell decorations or the seashells if you’re doing something beachy. You can give them away afterwards, or toss them or try to get your wedding planner to buy them (thanks, but no thanks)… or you can get them inexpensively in the first place. For example: I have these beautiful fishbowls (they’re large, so they don’t look hokey) that already have sand and seashells in them. You add some candles in your colors and viola! you have an inexpensive, beachy, readymade centerpiece. eBay, of course, is always a GREAT option, because there is always someone who bought 40 of those eiffel tower vases (new) with pink ostrich feathers or 200 white lantern balls and want to recoup some money. I also found this website ~ it’s like a ‘classifieds’ or ‘flea market’ for just bride ’stuff’ : http://www.vintageglamblog.com/classifieds/
Here’s another fabulous website for brides ~ after those pre-wedding hormones have subsided and you realize you have 400 white candles and 50 white lantern balls leftover, and that you didn’t wear your tiara AND your veil ~ what do you do with them? You sell them on BravoBride.com ! Excellent resource for everything from jewelry and wedding gowns to bridesmaid dresses and centerpieces.
Tybee Island Wedding Japanese Sobas
I (Tybee Island Wedding) also have other items that I rent out inexpensively ~ like material Japanese umbrellas (white), , urn-shaped vases, tons of seashells, dozens of clear glass votive holders… all good stuff to consider.
