On Consignment

Welcome to Debt-Free Wedding . . . the blog written by a father-of-the-bride and author of four wedding books, including Your Beautiful Wedding on Any Budget, Your Wedding Planner (kindle) and Before You Say "I Do". . . all available on Amazon.com.

Now here's an idea that could not only net you some spectacular wedding reception decor, but could be a win-win for you and everyone involved.

Consider some of the business owners in your area . . . antique dealers, artists, painters, crafters.  How many of these might welcome the opportunity to display their sale items or their work at your wedding reception?  Some of these type of items would make fantastic table setting, while other items could lend a theme or ambiance to your after-wedding event.

Better yet, the items on consignment might lead to sales for these business owners.  You receive some free decorative items and they receive additional sales.  A win-win.

Use your imagination and talk to some of the business owners in your area.  You will be surprised at the warm reception you might receive.
