Where to buy diy supplies?

View quoted message Thanks!! After reading these I looked up some wedding groups on Facebook and joined a couple! Hope I find good deals!

Hey Sarah! See if there's a local wedding facebook group for your area. I found a TON of my decor items that other brides were selling after their wedding for cheap.

Found our seating chart, table numbers, and welcome sign. I'm always seeing those wood slabs on there.

As for candle holders, we're renting ours. And I actually bought our table runners form ebay of all places. I got 18 lace table runners for $50, and they look awesome.

Try checking out Facebook marketplace.

View quoted message Garage sales are another good idea. I am def keeping my eye out in the buy and sells too

I live in a Fort McMurray, and I don’t have much choice on places to purchase items. I’m diy-omg everything though. I try to shop local, but Amazon has been my friend. Check out buy and sells on Facebook though, I have found some incredible finds there. I’m always keeping my eyes open for a new find. Garage saleing is in my near future for the last few goodies I need.

View quoted message I didn’t know you could buy in bulk from the dollar store I will definitely look into that

I would recommend checking out Dollar Tree and Dollarama online for bulk mason jars and maybe candle holders - they have pretty good prices when you buy a pack of 24 or so.

For wood slabs I highly suggest doing them yourself. My fiance and I couldn't find any that were large enough for what we needed and even the smaller ones that we found were super expensive. We were driving home from work one day and saw someone had cut done a tree and we just grabbed the wood off the side of the street and sanded it down.

Everything else we got from Amazon mostly, some stuff from Michaels and Etsy.

Table runners were on sale on Amazon in packs of 10 last time I saw them.

Table runners- suggest a fabric place, candle holders i looked online in bulk, wood slaps (family friend cut ours and we sanded them), mason jars (best bet walmart), also if your looking for supplies you could check local wedding swap sites of people selling- normally they are sick of having storing there supplies and want to get rid of them. I bought a lot off of there!

Great suggestions thank you guys!! I forgot about party city and winners

Micheals and Party City ! Look at Amazon as well , they have good stuff too

Outlet stores can help with the lower prices and get as many needed. Rustic supplies carry the wood slabs you are looking for and size based.

Ikea does sell mason jars and other small décor too if you want to go there for your shopping. Check their website too and see the variety available first to make sure its the one you want.

I find michael's expensive.
Keep an eye out for yard sales, people are always getting rid of mason jars and things.

For sure Michaels. Sign up for their emails and you get coupons all the time.
Also look into winners or home sense. Although these places can be hit and miss you never know what you might find!
look into Facebook buy and sell groups. You may find good deals from someone!

I got all my candle holders from IKEA - so cheap! I spent about $25 for 8 lace looking ones and spray painted them rose gold. I also bought a bunch of glass vases from there to use for candles. They probably have mason jars as well. Places like Michaels can be super expensive for certain things, so just look around.

With Michaels, even if you don't have a coupon yourself, the sales associates will normally honor the discount anyways.

I found a lot of stuff off of Kijiji and even at Party City as well. Kijiji would be a place for Mason Jars for sure.

View quoted message I will try michaels. Sometimes there stuff can be overpriced though but yes they do have sales

I’ve heard Michaels is great and they have sales quite often
