Beautiful Wedding Décor Doesn’t Have to Be Brand New
Looking Beyond “Brand New”
Many wedding decorations are used for only a few hours before being packed away. Buying pre-owned lets you create the celebration you envision while spending less and giving beautiful pieces another opportunity to shine.
Here are 25 wedding items worth looking for secondhand.
Ceremony and Cocktail Hour
- Wedding arches/Ceremony backdrops
- Aisle decorations
- Card Box
- Floral garlands
- Decorative easels
These statement pieces often become the focal point of a ceremony and can look just as beautiful at their second celebration as they did at their first.
Reception Décor
Reception décor is where many couples see the biggest opportunity to save.
Items such as
- Centerpieces
- Bud vases
- Table numbers
- Chargers
- Table runners/Linen
- Candle Holders
are often used once before being carefully stored away. Shopping pre-owned allows you to mix styles, compare pieces in person, and create a look that’s uniquely yours.
Signs & Displays
Wedding signage has become an important part of modern celebrations, and many of these pieces can easily be reused and repurposed.
Consider shopping for:
- Welcome signs
- Seating charts
- Bar signs
- Directional signs
- Decorative mirrors & Frames
Because many signs are customized with interchangeable acrylic panels or removable vinyl, you’ll often find beautiful display pieces ready for another celebration.
Candles and Lighting
- Lanterns
- Candle holders
- LED candles
- Glass hurricanes
These versatile pieces work with nearly any wedding style and can easily transition into home décor afterward.
Dessert and Beverage Displays
- Cake stands
- Cupcake stands
- Beverage dispensers
- Serving trays
- Display risers
These practical items often see minimal wear and can be used again for birthdays, holidays and other gatherings.
