Recycled/used/clearance Wedding Decor

I was about to say Facebook marketplace!! A lady on there bought all her stuff from Hobby Lobby that I was planning on getting and she sold me a bunch of stuff for $30!

I was hoping to snag some used décor but had trouble finding anything that fit what I was looking for, so I ended up hitting sales and using a ton of 40% off coupons haha. Facebook Marketplace has been the most promising place I've found, so I'd definitely keep an eye out there. You can also check with rental companies - they'd have a ton of stuff that you might not even think about - water pitchers, dance floors, popcorn machines - in addition to the normal things like linens, silverware, and dishes.

I haven't, and at this point it's too late anyways. I think my hometown (2ish hours away) had some kind of indoor yardsale with a wedding focus right after I got engaged, but it was so early into the process that I had no idea what FH and I even wanted, so we skipped it. Had the timing been right, something like that would have been amazing!

I'm using some of my mom's vases for the reception! Also plan on borrowing a few things from my church's "wedding room" to decorate

I am borrowing some decor pieces from my friend. She has the 3 tiered vases still from her wedding and some wood crates I can use. I would just be careful of resell items. Facebook marketplace might be good but a lot of people try to upsell their used items. I found it was cheaper to buy my own items when there's sales like you said. Or look online for bulk websites.

We are doing Hobby Lobby, FB Marketplace, yard sales, At Home, Michael's, Dollar Tree and Oriental Trading Company, etc. We are doing quite a bit of DIY

I got a beautiful glass cake plate for our wedding cake on FB marketplace for $2!! I love it and i've been looking for other things on there as well. Weddings can be very expensive, so if you're finding stuff you like on sale I say get it so it doesn't come up on you all at once.
