Be Thrifty, Be Green, Be Married
I’ve recently found one solution to several problems and it fits in nicely with our recent topics of finding things on the cheap and being “green.” It’s recycleyourwedding.com!
What do you do when the wedding is over and now you’re left with the dozen or so copper colored table linens you had to buy instead of rent?
Or
You splurged on your wedding dress, so you will have to save on your escort cards?
Or
You’re left with 4 never used guest books that various family members gave you?
Buy or sell it all at Recycle Your Wedding! It’s an eBay like site, specifically geared for wedding accoutrements. With categories like Clothing, Crafts, Candles, Relaxation Services and Travel you are bound to find anything you might need at a fraction of the regular cost.
I love this idea because I find so much wedding day gear is disposed of, while not necessarily being disposable. There are several amazing dresses (some worn once, some not at all) up for sale on the site. I have no problem buying a designer gown that is outrageously priced knowing that I can sell it later. Living in NYC, storing a wedding dress indefinitely is not always practical anyway.
How do you feel about re-selling your wedding day? Would you be comfortable buying someone else’s wedding?

I’d like to share a new website that is also promoting ’sharing the love’ by selling pre-owned wedding accesories and apparel. It’s a brand new site so not much on there yet but with all the interest in being more Eco-Friendly, that will change soon!!
Have a fantastic day!
