Second Hand Weddings are a great option if you are a budget bride! Give yourself a challenge and see how much of your wedding you can make second hand. Not only will it reduce the cost of your wedding but it will make it more eco-friendly! Green weddings are the way forward!
See your second hand wedding as taking on a challenge rather than a drag. You will be surprised at what you can get second hand. A good place to start is the dress! There are lots of second hand dresses available online, in charity shops and in special second hand wedding dress shops! Vintage is a major fashion in this year's bridal gown season. Second hand suits or hiring suits are another way of making your wedding super second hand. There is no reason why you need to have brand new! Why not challenge your guests to buy all their clothes from a second hand shop?
'Re Gift' is a new fashion where you give a present that you don't want rather than buying a new present. Why not suggest it to your guests and see what they come up with? Charity shops are full of crockery these days. It is a great opportunity to buy cheap crockery, which can give your wedding a lovely vintage style! Second Hand decorations are also worth considering. If you have a friend that has recently had a wedding why not talk to her about buying her decorations off her? Second Hand rings are also becoming increasingly popular. Have you got a ring which you have inherited? It adds nostalgia to your wedding and reduces the cost significantly!
