A post I wrote to Dixie94 last night has got me thinking. Most things wedding have been very expensive or even out of our budget entirely. Those things that we really wanted anyway, even though they were expensive, we tried to DIY (part of it or the whole thing or otherwise find a suitable replacement that usually ended up to be only slightly less expensive), or we've had to cancel the idea altogether. To add to that, we've all had that feeliing that ANY service or item that has "wedding" attahched to it costs even MORE than if it were for any other event.
HOWEVER, there comes a few (several? couple?) times in our wedding planning where there is something that we feel we want/need AND it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.........in fact, you might consider it CHEAP!!! And because you actually LIKE this thing, it's price makes you want to just tell everyone (think "omg, you won't believe what I got x y z for at macy's last night!!!").
So, I thought it would be neat to hear about all of THOSE kinds of things that we've stumbled across for our weddings that we actually really liked!!! I'll start (okay, I'll rehash as I already posted my two big ones in the aforementioned post last night heehee):
Wedding day shoes: $20 at payless (and NOT because I WANTED to save money.....they totally had exactly what I had been looking for!!!)
Hair pins: $6 at Claires!! (and, again, because I thought it'd be wise to bring many "formats" to my hair trial....but ended up finding them perfectly suitable)
What about your finds???????????????
