I alerted you to these Bella Cupcake Couture cupcake wrappers here when they were fairly new to the market and being sold for about $0.97 each. However, today I have some great news to share since I found them now even cheaper HERE at save-on-crafts.com for just $0.70 each. You would have to buy them in bulks of 50 for $35.00 to get them at that fab price but if you are making cupcakes for your wedding, that should not be a problem.

Personally, I think that it is always a good idea for every bride to set aside a portion of their budget, whether large or small, to go towards buying or making favors for your guests. It's just a nice way to say thank you for choosing to come out and celebrate my wedding day with me.

For those of you with about $3.00 budgeted per guest for favors, these Personalized Favor Boxes are "totally awesome." They stand at about 6 inches tall and for the price of $2.50 a customized label is added for you.

They are another fab find from Etsy, this time from the shop BugandBoo. The owner guarantees that you can add anything you want to the labels, and "change the fonts and accent color to meet your needs. All you do is email any photo (or logo) of your choice..." and she'll create a favor box you'll be so proud to share.

Many of you would be happy to learn that there's also one for the brides that are planning a Tiffany Inspired Wedding, so go HERE now to see all the favor boxes that are available!

I would be the first to admit that Ebay is a fantastic source for small budget brides who are looking for wedding items at a bargain price. One thing you should note though when shopping on Ebay is that the sellers that offer excellent service, with the highest buyer ratings and who ships their items quickly now carry a Top-rated Seller badge.

 

This is extremely comforting to buyers, myself included, who have had a bad experience with an Ebay seller. I did get a refund for the set of  Junie B. Jones books that I purchased yet was never shipped to me but as you can imagine it did make me quite leery about buying anything from Ebay again. That is why you should always be careful when shopping online and read as many customers' reviews as you can! Now with the Top-rated Seller badge shown with each item from the best sellers on Ebay, it certainly will cut down on how many reviews we'll have to read before finally making that decision to buy...or not to buy.

I just adore this silk, chiffon wedding dress with its wonderful beading details that makes it glitter and shine with elegance. The lines are slimming and the back is fun and sexy for the bride who wants to show a little skin. From the boning in the bodice to the jewel brooch that draws you, this dress definitely begs for attention.

It's a budget find here at Nordstrom.com and it's priced at $298.
