When it comes to planning your wedding there are a few places where you can “cheat” a little. You know, spend a little less and still get the overall high- end look you’re hoping for. Its easy to find things you love but often hard to find things within your budget! You can get a stylish, sophisticated look without spending big $$. Here are 10 elegant $1 (yes, one dollar!) items everyone needs for their Wedding!

1.Votives

This 2-pack set of clear glass votives filled with a simple white candle. Perfect for adding some ambience to cocktail tables, the bar or food stations. They are unscented and add a romantic glow to any space.

Even better- try these cut glass votives! One of my favorite finds! They have a vintage drink ware style and add a little something extra to your look. People will never guess they came from the dollar store. They come in assorted colors but the blush (so Anthro!) and clear options are my favorites.

TIP: Do not buy the tea light candles for inside these votives at the dollar tree. You will get 16 for $1. At Walmart you can get 100 for $3.97!

I used these exact candles for my wedding. I will say, they do drip and did make a little bit of a mess but I kind of loved the dripping effect. It felt organic and romantic. They are 2 for $1!
