Save your wedding budget buying on consignment

Consignment is a great way to save money on your wedding items!

I have a small consignment area in my Dayton, Ohio, office and I list most of the items for purchase via ebay and once the auction is over you can pick them up. We don't accept dresses and attire, mostly just favors, centerpieces and decor. Right now, I have a set of 40 silk centerpieces with eiffels; holiday centerpieces; and 10 sets of three tall glass candle holders. A client of mine has tentitively reserved 100 pillar candles and 100 coffee mug favors but those may go up for auction if she changes her mind. Pixs are below and I'll be listing them on ebay and on the website at Got Wedding Stuff when I get back from Tucson. If you have leftover items you want to sell to a bride, we can list them for you and display them at the Dayton Bridal Connection for you and you'll get 40% commission of whatever is sold.





This great new website that does sell dresses, shoes, etc. online and it's really good. It just launched on October 8 so I'm not sure about their track record, but it's something you should definitely check out. http://www.bravobride.com/ In Cincinnati, Chaz Bridal has a great variety of lightly used wedding dresses for a fraction of the price at the new retail stores. I've had two brides purchase their dresses here this year for less than $100 each! They're located in Silverton on Montgomery Rd. Just make sure you call in advance because their hours change every week.
