Right now, go to FB. Search “your city wedding resale/ wedding consignment” Everything you’re planning to purchase for your fall wedding is probably on sale 50% off by a bride who wants their living room back. Don’t be afraid to negotiate, especially if you are buying a big lot from someone.

I know many people know this but here’s to helping someone who might not have thought of this.

Also, don’t be afraid to scour fb marketplace for cheap finds (especially at the end/first of the month when ppl move out of their places and are looking to trash things)

Lastly, visit a good thrift store for things like toasting glasses, vases, picture frames, cake & knife set, candelabras, etc.
