Wedding Decorations Supplies
Where to Find Everything You Need - For Less!
As your fiancé places that ring on your finger, your mind instantly begins to race, filled with wedding plans. You've known since that thrilling first date exactly how you want your wedding to look. But have you given a single thought to how you are going to achieve that look? Wedding decorations supplies are more readily available than you might think.
The first place to check is with your vendors. Your florist may be able to provide columns and candelabras in addition to floral arrangements. If you are arranging the flowers yourself, check your local florist shop for the vases and green foam. Or use silk flowers bought from crafts stores like Michael's and Hobby Lobby. A standard fabric supply store can provide bolts of fabric for making matching chair covers, tablecloths, and will even carry matching ribbon for making bows and other accents. Wal-Mart is an awesome resource for wedding decorations supplies and is available to almost anyone, but no one ever thinks of it because it is so unromantic. Wal-Mart sells thousands of products at incredibly low prices due to the advantage of economies of scale. That is, if you can overlook their unethical monopolistic and employment practices. |
Internet retailers are a better alternative. These web stores specialize in your wedding decoration supply needs and still benefit from low overhead costs, passing those saving on to their customers. AmericanBridal.com sells favors for only 99 cents each. Shopping for wedding decorations supplies online also allows you to get guest favors, mother of the bride and bridesmaids' gifts, and those other important must-haves at the same time, saving yourself a huge hassle. Many web suppliers offer free shipping and charge no sales tax, lowering your costs even more.
Ask around with other brides you know to find out where they are getting their wedding decoration supplies. You may discover the perfect supply store that you have never heard of before. Web search engines can also help with this. Usually, the bigger the city, the higher the concentration of wedding supply stores, so plan a road trip with your maid of honor as soon as possible. |
