Brand new, never worn champagne colored lace & bead edged fingertip length veil - $45
After spending hours painstakingly hand-sewing the lace edging to this veil, I ended up changing my mind about it. At my last dress fitting I just decided it didn't look quite right with my dress. So it's in pristine condition having never been worn!
The lace and bead work really is stunning! I designed it myself, so it has that wide-edge mantilla look, but attaches behind your head like a regular veil. I used a good quality, very soft tulle and a sturdy metal comb. It's a great deal compared to what most places charge for veils like this (I couldn't believe David's charges $200 for a cheaply made veil in this style). Free local pick up for I will ship it for an additional $10.

Ring bearer pillow - $20
I made this cute little thing, and it was not easy! But it turned out great, and it's a one-of-a-kind! It's a very light blush pink matte satin with an ivory shiny satin layer over it. Silk flower with a fancy button in the center. Still in perfect brand new condition, because the kid never carried it down the aisle!!!
Program Baskets - $15 for both
Two white program baskets, perfect size for standard-sized programs! Handles make it easy for someone to hold the baskets while passing them out. They come with the orange and pink striped fabric liners you can see in the pictures below. which can easily be taken out if those aren't your colors.
Books - asking $5-$10 each, but I'll make you a deal if you buy more than one!
The first three are large hard cover books, asking $10 each. Everything else is $5. All are in great used condition - many are still like brand new! Worst flaws are the first two, their dust jackets are a little beat up. And "Bridal Bargains" has some dog eared pages.

There are seriously some very good ideas in here, I used many of them and saved a bundle! Nicely organized by area of the wedding. One of the best features is their checklists of questions to ask vendors when you meet with them - I found the lists SUPER helpful, because if you've never planned a wedding before, you'd never even think to ask these things!
101 Things I Wish I Knew When I Got Married: Simple Lessons to Make Love Last: We wanted to do a little pre-marital counseling of our own, and this book was a great conversation started. I found a lot of the pre-marital counseling types of books were either preachy or like an instruction manual that just bored you to death. This one is basically stories with a lesson inside. So it reads nicely, like a story, while still teaching you something and getting you and your fiance talking. It's also nice way to take a break from the wedding planning and remember what this is all about - your MARRIAGE and the start of your lives together!
