Wedding Essentials You Need to Purchase

Many times, brides get really excited about our special day and begin to purchase things that really are not needed. And all of those "things" can add up to be very costly or just a waste of funds. For instance, you may purchase all of the paper goods and utensils because you found a really cute set for a pretty good price. However, many times the caterer or the venue will provide those items for you. Or, you may purchase a card box or linen, when your florist or wedding designer already has a collection of choices you may choose from at a better rate. So, besides the big purchases such as your wedding dress, florals and a cake... here is a list of the minor items some couples forget to purchase.

• Toasting Flutes

• Guest Book & Pen

• Unity Set (candle, sand, cord, etc.)

• Communion Set (crackers, juice, cups, serving plate, etc.)

• 2 Garters - one to keep and one to toss
