The Ebay Wedding

July 6th, 2006 @ 3:48 pm by Mrs. Bee

In this article, bride Ashley Purvis talks about how she purchased her wedding dress, veil, tiara, ring-bearer’s tux, flower girl’s dress, and bridal bouquet all off ebay. There’s no doubt that whatever you’re looking for, you can probably find it on ebay. For cheap.

I’ve purchased tons of things off the site myself (I was addicted to books on tape when I lived in LA), but when it came to my wedding, I didn’t use ebay at all. I guess being the obsessive freak I am, I couldn’t bring myself to buy anything without having seen it in person - for my wedding at least.

What have you purchased off ebay for your wedding? Were you happy with the products?

I found a great cupcake stand and saved $100 not buying it new. I was so pleased with myself.

i bought my wedding dress, believe it or not. it’s a david’s bridal dress, worn once, and it’s in perfect condition - i don’t even have to alter it. original price $800, my price (plus shipping) $184 i also loved the fact that i got it in 5 days, from when i bid on it… the seller also threw in her veil, so i didn’t even have to look for one. it was a cathedral length one, and i really wanted a two-tier elbow length, so i just cut it in half and made my own out of the tulle.

i got my tiara w/ swarovski crystals - originally $50, my price (plus shipping) $19.99.

i also bought the groom’s wedding band. he had his heart set on a tungsten band with a gold inlay, that he tried on at the jeweler’s but it was $500. i found the same exact one on ebay for $300, so i got it. it’s supposed to arrive this week, so i’m crossing my fingers…

i’m still searching for my wedding band, but i’m going to just order it from our jeweler… i don’t want to gamble with diamonds!!

I know how you feel, I’m so anal about not buying things I can’t see in real life before paying! That being said, I couldn’t find any good deals for wedding stuff I wanted to buy off ebay=( Yes I am lame.

Not that there was a lot. I was looking for a cake stand, the ones I liked were so expensive (around $70 and above- how is that a bargain??!!!), couldn’t find any ribbon that was cheaper than those at jkmribbons.com…

I got my Kolo album to use as guest book for about $10 less than average. I shop on ebay alot, but haven’t really found much for my wedding on there as of yet. Although my engagement ring did come from ebay. And no, that doesn’t bother me, I picked it out!

I bought my headpiece and earrings from ebay. I love them both! They didn’t cost much, and I figured if I was really that unhappy with them, I could send them back or just resell them.
