Upcycling THRIFTED Wedding Decor

I love the demijohn with the Lord of the Rings characters. 😂😂😂😂

Hi – would you recommend a vendor for the vintage reproduction postcards you found? Thank you for considering.

Ahh yesss thank you Jamie!! I freakin love when you do Cricut DIY videos♥️♥️ please do more! Always😜♥️

I have done this for different events my whole life! I am wedding planning for my daughter. Don't forget another great money saving tip : Ask trusted family members and friends if you may borrow a few of their things as well. Make sure they are clearly marked so the right item gets back to the correct person. NOTE: I NEVER borrow anything that is a precious heirloom or extremely sentimental to them. Accidents do happen, I would feel awful if something happened to an item I could not replace.

Can I just say how awesome your name list on the bottle was!! LOTR is the absolute best!!

Please do some videos on how to be a wedding GUEST! Or how to be in a wedding party. It may sound silly but my husband and I grew up in families with not much money, so weddings were very very simple and informal. We have 2 large weddings to attend this year, one of them where my husband is a groomsman, and we have no idea what we are doing. He actually unintentionally accepted being a groomsman to an out of state wedding which he didn't realize was a large cost commitment 🤦‍♀️ he put off telling them for several months until now which is 6 months away and we have no choice but to go (we wanted to but really shouldn't since we are on a tight income for a family of 5). Anyways, I would love ideas on what to wear, gifts to give, etc. Help!@

Thrifted my dress, faux florals for bouquets and boutonnières, candles, card box, table numbers, and used scrap wood from old projects for our signage. It was more work than had I bought it all new, but I enjoyed the crafting, was happy about the environmental benefits, and loved the savings!

Oh hell yes, I needed this. I’m thrifting my whole wedding….

I’m getting married this year on December, my fiancé and I got clearance Christmas decorations from last year. We will be using the discounted decorations for our wedding and keeping them too. 😂

A trick I learned for taking off those stubborn retail stickers. Get a Scrub Daddy. You can scrub those stickers off with one and hot, soapy water.

Bonus: no chemicals 🙂

The stickers that thrift stores use for price tags are the WORST!! They are always a nightmare to remove.

Could you use the weeding tool to peel the stickers off again?

Yess!! LOTR for the win! ❤ I love all these thrifts!

If you plan on having kiddos in the future make sure to save the table numbers and use them for their first year month photos. It was a tip given to me at our wedding and I’m so glad I kept our numbers!

I'm doing the vintage postcard table numbers too! I got some real European postcards, around war time I think, silver and brass trays, old books, and stained/painted glass bottles. I'll get some corks online and use that for the table numbers, thanks for that idea!

Thrifted about 30-35 bottles/vases/pottery pieces from Salvation Army and painted them all olive green, burnt orange, and a sandy neutral (our wedding colors) for the table florals for about $150 in total. Took one week from start to finish and our guests can take them home for home decor in their own home as a sustainable wedding favor.
