The time has come to share one of my favorite places in the whole world with you.

Introducing Page Valley Flea Market (also known as a trash scavenger’s haven!):

At first glance, this flea market looks like nothing but garages on the side of the road, but beware, looks can be deceiving! Dig a little deeper (literally), and you’ll find lots—and I mean lots—of wedding day goodies. You’ve got to be willing to hunt, though! They don’t call this place “Digger’s Paradise” for nothin’!

I know what you’re thinking: that’s just a whole lot of junk!

Think again!

We scored a load of awesome vases for the wedding, and plan on returning again very soon! Here’s a picture of my mom getting lost in the stacks:

Tea cups, anyone?

China?

This place has tons!

And what do we have here?

Green + Vintage = Bliss for Miss Brooch!

At first just a few vases caught our attention, but after a little digging, we were able to find more than 20 of varying shapes and sizes to use at the reception.

Since our venue is full of fireplace mantels that will need decorating, we hope these will come in handy. My grandmother is also a master at designing fake flower arrangements. I hope she’ll work with me to make these vases come to life for our wedding!

Guess how much our 20 vases cost?

At just 50 cents per vase, we paid about $12. Woo hoo!

Here’s a sneak peek of our mantel mock-ups:

Now imagine flowers and tea lights. Pretty, no?

Have you found anything for your wedding at a thrift store?
