Ebay, Etsy
When I got married, I made the decision to splurge on the “must-haves” and save on all the other stuff. As a result, I spent hours…no, days…hmmm, maybe months?…. of my life scouring eBay for the perfect steal. As a result of my hard work, I scored tons of goodies on the cheap - including all the vases for the candy buffet, votive candles, my flower girl’s dress, my ring bearer’s pillow, bridesmaid gifts, a guest book and more! I was so successful, that etiquette guru and author Leah Ingram wrote about me in her book: Buying & Selling Your Way to a Fabulous Wedding on Ebay.
So, as you can see, I love eBay for finding wedding deals. However, one of the top divas over here at Wedding Paper Divas, recently turned my attention to the shopping site Etsy and I was disappointed that this wasn’t around in my day. Etsy is like eBay, but all the products sold on this site are handmade. This is a great place to look for gifts, jewelery, and decorating accessories. Check out some cute finds that would would go great with one of my favorite stationery designs, Vintage Damask.
