Hello, brides! I’m Elizabeth from Stockroom Vintage and I’m back this month to share another budget-friendly craft project with you! One of the ideas that’s been floating in my head–it even woke me up one night!–is the sequin-lined candle holder. So I picked up some glass votive holders for $0.25/each at Goodwill, pulled out my [...]
Okay friends, I know I’ve been MIA here on the blog for a while and I’ve not done a links + things type post in weeks and weeks! Things have been quite busy as I’ve been working towards the launch of my new paper company, Jessica Bishop Paperie! I’m planning an October launch so everything [...]
This is a tale of warning for all brides out there. Be careful when ordering! Less than one full month of being engaged and I had already made a rookie mistake. I fumed, I may have thrown things, I may have needed a cocktail. So here’s my story. Please learn from it as I [...]
This wedding looks like a million bucks, but the bride and groom managed to pull it off for $15k! I’d say that they were definitely budget savvy. This is one of the most *glam* events we’ve featured on BSB so it’s awesome to know that you can pull this type of wedding off for less! [...]

While it was entirely easy to say yes to Dane when he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him, saying yes to the dress I would wear on our wedding day was not so easy. For about four months, I pored over wedding magazines and websites trying to find the perfect, [...]

The wedding band that serves as a symbol of your commitment to each other. When Nick proposed, he gave me a beautiful engagement ring, we went later that day to have it sized (he had made the appointment knowing he was proposing that day and that it was likely the ring wouldn’t fit – it [...]
One of my favorite locations to snag some budget savvy deals is Marshalls! Over the past several years I have found a TON of amazingly cute clothes, home decor items, and more at Marshalls. They carry some top name designers that you’d easily pay double for in department stores, but their prices are so great! [...]
From time to time when I stumble across a great deal I know I just HAVE to share it with the readers! This is a great one for all of you wondering what music you will play during your wedding, especially if you don’t have the budget for a string quartet or band or organist. [...]
I am very proud of one of my more budget-savvy projects – my $4.80 card box! I purchased the black box online in early February it sat, unassembled and un-crafted, until July 28.
