Does anyone know any good sites for wedding ceremony and reception accessories??

Question

I have tried Exclusively weddings and Davids Bridal but some things are way too expensive for the quality! There has got to be a better place! Please help!!!

Answer 1

Some of the best "wedding" accessories aren't at bridal shops or on line bridal boutiques.  They're at places like Bed, Bath and Beyond, Pier 1, The Christmas Tree Shop, Homegoods or places where they sell "home decor items" or "entertaining" items.

For example, today I saw the cutest place card holders in the Pier 1 catalog.  They were pumpkin place card holders.   If I were getting married in the fall, I would want these place card holders.   They were really elegant and nice looking.   Also, sometimes I'll go to Homegoods and I'll see vases, fish bowl centerpieces, votive candles, pillar holders and other decor items.  I think, "wow, I could put a few simple flowers in that vase, I could have the start of a really great centerpiece."  

At The Christmas Tree Shop, you can get ribbon and stationary.  They also have items you could buy to make your own guest book or other DIY projects.

Also, these places tend to be cheaper than weddings shops or online retailers.  Items in Homegoods are often marked down from department store prices.  In addition, you can get great sales at places like Pier 1.

Take a look around this weekend.  Get creative.  Look in bridal magazines for ideas and then find cheaper materials at these stores and make your own.
