Starting 2016 Saving Money!

Ira + Lucy Wedding Tips

brrrr.... it's cold outside!

So, last night we were down to 1 DEGREE!!! And today's high was only 12.... Brrrr it's freezing! But, then I found this HOT deal today out running errands! I'll be honest, I don't shop much at Craft Warehouse, I think it's too pricey there and I'm very selective on what I do buy and that is usually if I have a coupon. As a Designer and working my butt off trying to find ways to give you beautiful weddings, while thinking of your wallet I do love when I land on cost savings. AND I usually try to source items via wholesale outlets and other connections we have. So, today I found these Pashmina scarves at $5 each in a wide variety of colors.

This is a great option for buying in bulk! Have 150 guests? Estimate half are female and plan for only a portion of those guests will use a scarf. I'd suggest 50! Keep your receipt and anything that isn't used you can return.

PASHMINA

Pashmina is the finest type of cashmere wool. The textiles made from it were first woven in Kashmir. The name comes from Persian: پشمینه‎‎ / pašmina, meaning "made from wool" and literally translates to "Soft Gold" in Kashmiri -

Sure, you can find these a little cheaper on wholesale sites around $3.50 each, but I vote for the $5 option where you can see the colors in person and feel the quality! I say the peace of mind is well worth the extra $1.50! Plus, any you don't use simply return! Keep your receipt!

RECEPTION DETAILS

Drape scarves over your guests chairs, allowing them an option for warming up while toasts, cake cutting and other formalities are happening.

SIGNATURE FARM TABLES

If you've been following our Instagram, then you know some exciting updates for our rental inventory! We have handcrafted farm tables in the works for our 2016 clients, designed to seat 5 on each side! When we first introduced farm tables to the Idaho event market, they were nabbed up left and right and well loved. However, we found that we kept wishing we could seat more at a table then what those first designs allowed. So, our new tables will seat 5 on each side comfortably and feature a more classic leg that is a little more elegant than the traditional farm table style. We have pictured below the concept for what we are currently working on in our "Santa" shop. We will have pictures this winter showcasing these beauties!
