Montana Wedding Planners Bargain Hunting

As a savvy bride, we know you are always on the lookout for ways to save a little dough. As your resident wedding experts, we thought we would make a list of a couple of our favorite unexpected places to hunt for deals. Where are your favorite places to track down wedding deals?

Sweet Lulu

We LOVE Sweet Lulu. Last year, we were on the hunt for adorable striped straws for an event we were planning, and Lulu had a great selection. Not only do they have straws in every color, they sell other hard to find items- like colored wooden spoons, milk bottles and cake plate clings.? They are definitely worth a visit!

Dollar Store

We are always surprised by the things you can find at dollar stores. When it comes to weddings, it is easy to be put off by the ?wedding section? of the store- which has those crepe paper bells from the 80s and uniquely tacky paper plates. If you avoid the traditional wedding section, however, there are some spectacular deals to be had. If you are incorporating picture frames, candles, or glass items into your centerpieces, for example, the dollar store might be a great place to look if you want something more uniform than you can get at Goodwill.

Save on Crafts

We stumbled onto Save on Crafts a couple of years ago, while we were researching wedding lighting options. We love that they carry items for every style of wedding-? everything from rustic chalkboard signs to apothecary jars. They have some deals that completely blow us away, but other deals aren?t nearly as impressive, so we suggest you do your research to make sure they are actually your best option.

100 Layer Cake Marketplace

100 Layer Cake has been on our list of favorite wedding blogs for YEARS. We love their style and love reading their ?real weddings? posts to celebrate with brides all over the world! We also love that the marketplace allows old brides to be connected with new ones- and allows old brides to share and resell things that they purchased to new brides with the same tastes. If you need 100 mason jars for your centerpieces- there is a good chance that someone will be selling exactly what you are looking for in 100 Layer Cake?s Marketplace.

Oriental Trading

We know that sometimes Oriental Trading can be a little overwhelming. Typically, when we think about OT, we think of ordering 1000 plastic ducks or 50 child-sized cowboys hats? neither of which does much in the way of wedding planning. What you may not know, however, is that Oriental Trading offers some really neat personalization options for very reasonable prices. When Riata got married a few summers ago, she ordered custom silver pencils engraved with ?Oh Happy Day? from Oriental Trading for super cheap. Everyone loved the personal touch! They have everything from personalized cufflinks to pink swirly lollipops, so you might check them out!

Etsy

Etsy.com is one of our absolute favorite websites for just about everything. Etsy is a community of vendors who make handcrafted items and sell them all over the world. Because all of the items are handmade, they can be a great option for the DIY bride who want to keep the personalized feeling, but don?t quite have the time to craft EVERY portion of their wedding. Etsy vendors make everything from bridesmaid dresses to wedding programs, and many welcome custom orders for color and designs. Photo from here.

Amazon.com

We know that most brides probably don?t dream of ordering things for their wedding from Amazon.com, but Amazon can be a great option for the rural bride. For the DIY bride who wants to print invitations, advice cards or programs on their own- Amazon has great options in paper goods that might be hard to find locally.

POSH Wedding Planners

If you have a budget that you want to stick to, but don?t want the stress, consider hiring a wedding professional.? We, and other planners, have relationships with people that can get you deals you normally wouldn?t get.? In addition to relationships, we are used to working within the confines of a budget, we can save you money based on your vision, and this is our day job.? Because most, good wedding professionals know the industry well, they can help you save money.? We tell our brides that we work to pay for our fee in the savings we can bring to your event and we strive to do that.
