When to Splurge

Items you will keep

Occasionally, decorating your ceremony and reception site, and building your dream house can overlap in a lovely and charming way. Investing in decorative items for your ceremony or reception that can be used in your home is a great way to add a personal touch to your event and build a trousseau at the same time.

You have always loved mercury glass vases, but haven't begun your collection? Consider a serious splurge on an eclectic, mis-matched set. You'll be able to use them as a sparkling bit of personality on your reception tables, and they'll add charm and sophistication all over your new home.

Really want those copper garden torches at your outdoor reception? Go ahead and splurge now. You'll be lighting them up for summers and summer to come.

What the best part of splurging on items you'll keep? Every time you use that mercury glass vase and every time you light up the garden torch, you'll remember and reflect on your special day.
