Monday Mention: Recycledbride.com

Now if you aren't planning a wedding don't count Recycled Bride out just yet. It is a great sight even if you are planning another type of event.

So what is Recycled Bride? It is a website where people can sell things for weddings or other events. If you are a Bride they have great deals on wedding dresses that sometimes haven't ever even been worn. I found that a lot of brides on there had changed their venue and their original dress didn't work anymore so they are selling it to recoup some of the money to buy a new dress.

The greatest thing I found on the site was decorations. These could be used for any event and are at a fraction of the price if you were to buy them new and retail. I love all the apothecary jars and there were a lot on there when I was looking for a great deal!

Happy party planning!

My New Obsession....Globe Strand Lights

Ok....so I'm not sure that is the correct name for these but I am obsessed with these

Thank you to Pottery Barn for these great images

I absolutely love the ambiance and feel they add to any party and especially what they will do for my wedding. Now I am on the hunt to find them for a little bit better price than I have found so far. This is the best part of being a bargainista! I am going to wait and hunt until I find them for a price that fits into my budget. I know I can find them for less if I am patient. Time is a big factor is saving money on any project. It's when you are in a time crunch that you have to spend what the going price is on the open market. If you have some time you can usually find things for less than they first appear. So give yourself time and you will find a great deal!!

On another note. I know I promised pictures of the staging project in Utah. I have been pretty sick the last week since I got back. But I am feeling better and will create a good long blog with lots of tips for staging that can help you on any home decorating project in the next few days! For now I am off to bed...have to be up in 4.5 hours for my wonderful fiance's graduation! So proud of him!!
