How to make your wedding supplies look good and look like it cost $1,000

Posted on August 7, 2021

When you think about how expensive wedding supplies can be, you may be thinking about the $1k wedding dress you bought in a thrift store or the $5k wedding gift basket you got at the store.

It is only fair to share with you some tips for making your wedding supply costs less than a few hundred dollars, if not less.

I have had the pleasure of using wedding supplies on a number of occasions and it has always been a very rewarding experience. 

The first step to taking the next step in your wedding shopping is to find a wedding supply store.

You may want to shop in the local area, but if not, you can always look at a wedding website.

This is not a one-stop shop for everything.

Many wedding supplies stores also sell wedding favors, so you may want a small box or bag to keep your gifts for yourself or for a friend or family member.

There are also wedding gift stores that sell gift baskets and accessories, but those are not essential.

The other thing to keep in mind is that a lot of wedding supplies have a minimum order quantity, which means that you will have to make a lot more than you expected. 

If you are not sure what to order, consider this: most wedding supplies will only come in a minimum of three sizes.

Some may even have four sizes, so the number of wedding items you can buy is limited. 

For example, I had a wedding gift for my mother-in-law’s wedding.

I wanted to get a dress that she liked, so I asked her what she thought of it.

She told me that she was not a fan of the size I was looking for. 

My mother-of-four, who is a size 0, wanted a dress made with a full-length skirt, so she sent me an email asking for the measurements for her size.

She also wanted to know how much fabric I needed for the dress.

I received a dress with just enough fabric to cover my bust and a dress from a size 6 to 8, so that I could have a dress in size 8. 

I also wanted a custom-made wedding gift bag, so after she had the size, I sent her a photo of my wedding dress in its entirety and asked her to send me a letter to request that I receive a bag. 

When I sent the letter to my mother, she sent back a message saying that she could not ship the dress because it was custom- made. 

After a few days, she replied that she would send the dress back and that she hoped to see her again. 

Now, she is not the kind of person to say, “I am sorry, I can’t do it for you, but I can do it if you send me the measurements.”

She did send me measurements, but she did not send them to me.

I was more than happy to get the measurements of the dress, but her letter didn’t include the measurements. 

Once you have sent the dress to her, you have two options: you can go to her home and buy the dress yourself, or you can order the dress from her online. 

You will need to send the bride a receipt, and if you are ordering online, the bride will probably include a tracking number for you.

If you are doing this online, you should include a note in the email stating that the dress is being shipped and will be arriving at the bride’s home. 

Your bride will be able to pick up the dress at her home the next day. 

In addition to the dress itself, you will need a wedding bouquet, a bouquet brush, a wedding mirror, a headband, and a necktie. 

Bouquets can be purchased at most grocery stores, but you will want to get some sort of gift to wear with the bouquet.

If it is a wedding or anniversary gift, you could get a wedding tie or tie holder. 

Brush brushes are usually purchased at a thrifted store.

If your bridal jewelry is going to be displayed, you might want to pick one up at a gift shop or online.

If not, buy a groom’s bridal bag at a department store or craft store. 

Mirrors are usually bought at a craft store or thrifted stores.

If they are not available, you are going to have to use an online store like WeddingMirror.com. 

Headbands are usually ordered online at craft stores or thrifts.

If the headband is not available online, buy at the craft store and the bride should receive it the next morning. 

Nails are typically ordered online from craft stores. 

A necklace is usually ordered from craft shops. 

Handbags and purses are usually found at craft or thrift stores.

You can order online, or buy the bags at a grocery
