While we are still here, we are slacking a little bit on the wedding. Luckily we have a lot already done that we can take some time off. This week we both needed to take a step away from the wedding. Work is swamping us and we are relaxing more at home.
One quick thing I determined was that in a effort to save some green, I am going to utilize this website for homemade items. Etsy.com is a place where people can post items that they craft in their homes and sell to us less inclined people. I have been searching the site and got a bunch of good sellers for stuff like veils, garters, centerpiece items, and other wedding what-nots. The nice thing is the sellers are looking to make a little money without the overhead of designers or corporations. For example a veil that I like at the Bridal boutique may run upwards of $250. They can go much higher depending on length and additional stuff. For me I really wanted this veil that is $225 retail. On Etsy I found some sellers who are making a finger-length veil for $30-90. A fraction of the cost. Luckily too, most of the sellers have really good reputations and reviews. So hopefully I should be getting a good item. Not to mention that it's made for me and so sellers let you customize. So wonderful to have exactly what I want (not what the store will carry) and for penny's of what the boutiques charge.
I need to keep looking for some good deals and make this wedding look awesome while saving money. See below post...I want to spend it on the honeymoon. :)
