Help with purchacing wedding supplies!?

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersEbay is a top choice of mine. I%26#039;ve found a lot of items them. Also, other top places are dollar stores, craft stores (i.e. Hobby Lobby, Jo-Ann Fabrics, Michael%26#039;s and Pat Catans). Try asking around on the Knot.com forums. People have used all different places to purchase items for the weddings. I know I have ordered from some places they suggested and had great results.





Places like Jo-Ann and Michael%26#039;s always have 40%-50% off coupons in the newspaper and online. So that helps you save too. I bought over 100 artificial flowers for center pieces at Pat Catan%26#039;s. I had to go to 2 or 3 stores to get all I needed, but at 65 cents and 75 cents a piece I am able to make some nice floral arrangements. At first I didn%26#039;t want artificial flowers, but after seeing some of them and the prices of live floral arrangements, I changed my mind. There are a lot of artificial flowers that look real (but keep in mind, the more real they look, the higher price they can be.) The ones I am using look nice even though they were so cheap. I am putting them in silver julep cups which I got from a wholesale place.

Reply:Go to thrift and resale shops. No one would know unless you told them.
Reply:You know how most grocery stores have a floral department, well I found getting my bouquets there was A LOT cheaper than getting them from a florist. They can order almost any flower you want.
Reply:If you have a Garden Ridge craft store nearby, go there. They have an entire section of crafts and accessories dedicated to weddings and they are really cost effective. It%26#039;s a huge chain and should be easy to find on the internet.flower
