treasure huntin'

One way we are using less and saving more is by scouring various vintage shops for treasures to use in fun ways for our wedding. Not only is this a great way to use what's already out there, but it's (mostly) cheap and definitely an excellent way to spend an afternoon. So far we have a stack of old linens, ties and a really amazing pair of suspenders. The linens we're planning on using for the tables of food we're going to have set up around the orchard, the ties (well, one tie) and suspenders are for my bearded guy to wear. I don't really know how much we spent on just the wedding--but the linens were mostly 50 cents, the ties and suspenders a bit more. I also found myself some pretty jewelry and some Christmas presents for my pops so I don't really know how much was actually spent on the wedding. The best part, all of what was purchased can be reused long after the celebration is over. Needless to say, we will continue shopping around for treasures in all of the little vintage shops we happen upon.


Below are some snazzy photos. My favorite item of course, is the suspenders. Suspenders are  just so fantastic, right? Will is going to look ahhhmazing.
