My Ultimate Amazon Shopping List For Your Wedding
As any bride knows, wedding costs can add up so quickly! Especially when you factor in all those little things you weren’t anticipating on spending money on (like hello, who budgets for table numbers? Cake stands? Didn’t think so!) That is why Amazon is the perfect go-to place for all those weddings items you probably didn’t even know that you needed! Enjoy this ultimate amazon shopping list for your wedding day and happy shopping!
Veils:
Cathedral Veil- $15.99
Cathedral Lace Veil- $26.99
Fingertip Veil- $14.99
Two Tier Lace Veil- $14.99
Your Veil is something you will likely wear for maybe 2 hours MAX on your wedding day! At bridal stores, veils can cost just as much as the dress. That is a lot of money for the little time you will be wearing it. And when the wedding is over, then what? Will you ever use that veil again? Likely not! That is why these veil from Amazon is the perfect dupe. It looks and feels just like a regular veil and saves you major mula!
Table Number Stands:
Table number stands - $10.88
Table Number Frames- $23.99
I tell this to my brides ALL THE TIME, but this is something you absolutely should not be spending a lot of money on! Table number stands might be the smallest, most minuscule detail of the entire wedding. Have you ever noticed what the table number stands were at weddings you have attended? I doubt you did! Thus, your guests won’t notice it either! Go cheap and save that money for the important stuff! The ones linked below have stands in all colors, I recommend keeping it simple and getting either gold or silver.
Garter:
Lace Garter Set - $9.48
Satin and Lace Garter- $12.99
Blue Lace Garter Set- $15.95
Your garter is another thing that likely no one will see or notice! And did you know you are supposed to actually have two garters?! You need one that is typically a keepsake or given as a gift, and the other one is the ‘toss’ garter, aka the one that your fiance will pull off your leg and toss into the crowd. So no need to pay a lot of something that will be thrown into a crowd of drunk sweaty boys.. These lace garters are pretty on the eyes and the wallet.
Umbrellas:
Clear Umbrellas- $15.00
Even if you have an all indoor wedding ceremony and reception, you are still not invincible to the woes of weather! If rain is forecasted for your wedding day, don’t panic, just head on over to amazon and purchase a handful of these clear umbrellas. Get enough for your family and wedding party so you can still do some portraits outside and embrace the rain! The clear umbrellas are perfect for keeping you dry but not covering up your beautiful face, so your photographer can still capture all of your expressions!
Sparkler Exits:
Sparklers- $12.09
Sand Buckets- $34.99
Handheld Blow Torch- $19.99
Sparkler exits are always a fun way to end the night, and they usually require 3 things: sparklers (duh), a bucket to extinguish the sparklers, and a lighter. From personal experience, the best way to get guests to extinguish the sparklers after the exit without making a mess is to provide them with a few sand buckets for them to stick the sparklers into. These tall skinny galvanized buckets work the best! And to light the sparklers, this handheld blow torch is the most efficient way to do it! This blow torch is usually used for culinary purposes (think creme brulee!), but in this instance, it will be the fastest way to light the sparklers in time for your exit.
Easels:
Standing Easel- $16.29
Tabletop Easel- $11.99
Easels are another wedding expense that no one seems to anticipate! Some venues have easels you can rent, so check there first! But if not, amazon is your next best bet for an inexpensive easel. The standing easel is great for welcome signs, seating charts, and bridal portraits! The acrylic tabletop easels are great for bar menus, cards & gifts signs, and can be a great alternative for table number stands!
Cards & Gifts Box:
Acrylic Card Box- $33.99
Geometric Gold Card Box- $42.00
Rustic Card Box- $34.99
Once again, another item you will probably never use again when the wedding day is over, so no need to splurge. These card boxes are pretty, simple, and not too pricey!
Toasting Flutes & Cake Knives:
Gold Rim Toasting Flutes $33.99
Waterford Crystal Champagne Flutes- $89.00
Engraved Toasting Flutes- $27.92
Kate Spade Toasting Flutes- $83.99
Cake Knife and Server Set- $7.99
Vintage Silver Knife and Server- $37.99
Kate Spade Knife and Server- $75.00
This one is a bit of a toss up! Some couples like to splurge a bit on toasting flutes and cake knives as they are typically something you hold on to as a keepsake, or pass down to your kids when they get married. However, other brides don’t care to keep their toasting flutes or cake knives, thus aren’t too concerned with splurging! Luckily, amazon has a wide range of options that will fit you needs!
Cake Plateau
Round Silver Cake Stand- $71.99
Round Gold Cake Stand- $59.99
A cake plateau is basically a fancy word for large cake stand! These plateaus completely elevate the look of your cake, just make sure you get one that is big enough! Consult with your bakery, and get one no smaller than 18”!
Candles
*Glass Votive Candles- $35.99
LED Pillar Candles- $18.99
Floating Candles- $12.69
Everyone knows there is nothing more romantic than candlelight! Here are a few inexpensive candle options that will help create that intimate romantic atmosphere at your wedding!
*If you are buying votive candles, make sure you are buying the candles and the candle holders, not just the inserts (rookie mistake)!
