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!

And Even More options! All of these picks are great quality and look and feel high end! You can even mix and match them all for a hand picked curated feel for your tables.

2. Tapered Candles

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!

3. Glass Vase(s) and Candle Sticks

You can find TONS of glass vases in all different shape and sizes. These ones are my favorite. Simple and Perfect for flowers or candles.

4. Glass Jar Candles

Buy these prayer style candles by the box! They are amazing. Unscented and white so they can work with any color scheme. Mix them in on tables with greenery and flowers. They are perfect for lining stair cases and walk ways or surrounding the bar.

5. Chargers!

You can mix and match these gold chargers. They come in fluted and beaded versions. Chargers can dress up your table and add texture. They also come in silver, rose gold and marble.

The dollar store is a great place to make little care packages for your wedding party or even for your wedding guest’s welcome bags! I love this color option because it goes with everything and you could add a custom stamp to the front with your wedding hashtag or new last name.

For Inside Think: Advil, Water, Mouthwash, Snacks etc…
