First Round of Wedding Shopping

About a week ago Gary's mom (Dinker) and went to Waco. I was not really looking to buy anything just mainly looking. Well that did not last for long. We went to Hobby Lobby and we always enjoying looking at the clearance isle because you never know what you are going to find there! I have been thinking and thinking what am I going to do for my center pieces not only for the main table, but for the guests table as well. I have found some pictures on Pinterest of some things I would really like to do, but I do not want it to break the bank.

 

While on the clearance isle I found some awesome candle holders similar to these. I was thinking they were going to be $15.00 or more even though they were on the clearance isle, but guess what? They were at the most $8.00!!!!

 

 

The tall pink ones were previously $40 each and I got them for $8.00 each. The red ones were previously $28 each and I got them for $5.60 each and finally the black ones were previously $16.00 each and I got them for $3.40. I saved $134!!!!!! If I can continue to find these guys at good prices they will definitely be all over the place. These will all be getting a color change and possibly glittered. I am thinking about clustering them or spreading them across the table. We will just have to wait and see!!! I will be sure to post when I give these guys a face-lift!!!!

Also on this shopping trip I found some letters as well on the clearance isle. I am wanting to have the letter G everywhere as decoration so this to me was an awesome find because I am starting to collect G's of all different sizes and fonts.

These were all previously $10.00 each and I got them for $2.00 each. I also got a K because I have not decided what I am going to hang off the back of mine and Gary's chairs at the wedding. I am either going to do Mr. & Mrs. or G & K plus these guys were cheap!!! They are definitely going to get a make-over, but I am not sure what I am going to do to them yet, but I will do a post for that for sure.

I also got one other item at Hobby Lobby. Like I said before I am collecting all different sizes of G's so I found another G that I just had to have.

This guy was previously $20.00 and he was 50% off so I got him for $10.00 and he fits into my color scheme so he needs no face-lift.

We also went to Kirklands and if I haven't said before this is an awesome time of year to find wedding items I guess since it is wedding season. The first thing that I found there is probably something that I could have made myself, but I loved it so much that I just had to have it plus it gave me the inspiration for the header of this blog.

It was only $12.99 and I'm thinking I might add a little something to it, but again not sure yet. The next thing I found is the beginning of my collection of frames for the entrance area.



 

I got this guy for $10.00 and he was previously $15.99. That's only a $5.00 difference, but it was so cute I couldn't pass it up. One of the last things I purchased was something that I found on the clearance rack. It was something that was on one of the front shelves as a new item so I was wondering what it was doing back there. I quickly found out that it was broken, but not badly and it was marked down for $5.00. I believe almost anything can be fixed so I was like heck ya I can spend $5.00 on you.

Can't even tell its broken right?? It's only one of the small clasps that help keep the two pieces together definitely an easy fix.

The last thing I got from this shopping trip was an idea of something to make.

We thought this was so cute and would be awesome to have on the snack table, but I thought I could put it on something a little bigger and this guy wasn't on sale.

 

Make sure to look back and see when I post all of these D.I.Y's I plan on doing. I'm going to try and do everything step by step in case one day someone else wants to make these.

 

Love,
