Cool Finds On Ebay 

Everything for the wedding but the bride and groom!

Since I've been in the wedding business for-evah, I know the wholesale costs of a lot of wedding merchandise. I've found some great things priced under wholesale cost on eBay.

I found a variety of centerpieces
for the reception. There are rose topiaries, candle holders with hanging crystals, and hanging chandelier candles. All are priced lower than retail, all are priced less than if you rented them.

You can print your own wedding invitations
on blank invitation stock. You can buy wedding invitations in a bottle at a dozen for $14.95. They sell for $2.95 each. Do the math, its a steal.

Wedding favors:
The selection is mind boggling. Everything from the organza mini bags that you stuff with candy in colors to match your wedding to handcrafted beeswax candles. There are frame place card holders that double as favors. My favorites are the tuxedo and wedding dress candy boxes.

You can find every sort of wedding cake toppers
from personalized monograms to the traditional ceramic wedding couple. You can even buy the topper where the groom is toppling from the top of the cake.

I found all sorts of battery operated mini lights and tulle
in colors to decorate the hall. There are all sorts of light up decorations and silk flowers.

You can buy silk wedding flower bouquets
for the bride and all members of the wedding party.

And don't forget the ostrich feathers
! They make an amazing display when put in a large vase. You can also spray paint them with floral paint to match the wedding colors. I've done it for a wedding display, got my feathers on eBay and saved a couple of hundred dollars by doing it myself.

I found every style and type of champagnewedding toasting glasses
from cut luxury crystal to the traditional bride and groom glasses.

eBay Secrets Revealed! 

Bet you didn't know this!

Here's a huge eBay secret...shhhhhh, don't tell everyone! A lot of the eBay wedding vendors are wedding professionals selling merchandise on eBay. It may be a bridal salon selling discontinued merchandise or closeouts. It might be a floral wholesaler selling out merchandise that is too small of a quantity to sell in bulk. Or it might be a large bridal veil company selling out overstock merchandise. Or a wedding gown company selling dresses that they can't restock in retail outlets.

Either way, you win because they are selling way below their wholesale cost. You get new, first quality merchandise at a fraction of the cost. Its a win/win situation. The wedding professional liquidates their merchandise and makes way for newer stock, you practically steal it. And with gas over $4.00 a gallon and everyday expenses out of control, you get what you want at an affordable price.

Buyer Beware! 

You can't buy a great wedding dress for $19.00



eBayis over run with wedding dresses directly from Asia selling for pennies. You can't buy a quality dress for the ridiculous asking prices. The workmanship is not on par with what you would buy in a bridal salon. The cut is different, as is the fit. You have to pay high international shipping prices US customs duty. With your investment, you can buy a new dress on eBayfrom a known designer.

These eBay stores are top notch bridal salons selling overstock dresses and bridal accessories. These online stores are brick and mortar stores giving you the same service you'd receive in store at a discount.

Bridalgownz And FormalsThis store sells new wedding dresses, Casablanca wedding dresses and accessories at slashed prices.

Your Wedding Dress For Less This store has Alfred Angelo, couture dresses at a fraction of retail prices, Sorelli jewelry, tiaras, veils, shawls, formals and more.

The Most Important Thing

Buyer beware! If a deal is too good to be true, it may not be true. eBay does a good job of policing its site but use common sense on the site. Feedback is there for a reason. It's a report card on the seller. Check the feedback BEFORE you buy.
Shipping charges are also a sticky point with a lot of buyers. All the major shipping services have increased their shipping costs because of the price of oil. Sellers also have to add the price of packaging into the cost of shipping.
