    got my shoes and head piece from Primarni, invites and stickers came from vistaprint through quidco meaning that i got free items, paid delivery but got cashback which meant that VP paid me to use them, balloons were ebay, and table confetti, champagne bubbles and weights were all from the poundshop, and wedding was such good value as its in Vegas so we paid for a relatively cheap package and added on extras.

    I'm very good at sniffing out a bargain and hate paying full price for anything lol x

    I agree Lou Lou they don't feel cheap and nasty so overall pleased with them. I could only get 3 though as all the other stores were sold out. I'll keep looking tho. I have seen some really nice heart shaped tea light holders in the Deb*nhams sale too, but not sure if I am just gathering trinkets lol

    my tiara for 15 (was 140)
