1. Find your dream dress (and it’s a steal!)
It’s your big day and all eyes will be on you. Carousell is a savvy bride’s dream, with thousands of listings for preloved wedding fashion. Most of these have only been worn once, so there’s a good chance you’ll find your dream dress at a great price, and in almost-new condition. We’ve got our eye on this Vera Wang inspired wedding gown. There’s also a sizeable collection pre-loved shoes you can go through to find the perfect match to your outfit.
2. Finishing touches
You’ve got the dress to die for and those killer heels. Now you’ll want to complete the look with flawless skin. Pamper yourself with that makeup set you always wanted at a fraction of the cost brand-new. Or that perfect shade of lipstick so you will look gorgeous on your special day.
3. Dressing up your venue
Once you’re all dressed for the occasion, you’ll need to make sure your wedding venue looks just as sharp as you. Looking to add those final touches to the location? Look no further than some of these sun jars or even a string of fairy lights on Carousell to really give your wedding and reception that x-factor.
4. Don’t forget your helpers
Bridesmaids and groomsmen will pay an integral part in pulling your wedding together. So make sure you reward them with a nice set of dresses, and they can look awesome even while helping you ensure everything runs smoothly.
5. Paying it forward
Once the festivities have died down, the couple will finally have more time to pause and take it all in. When it’s time to clean up and go home, you probably don’t want to find a place to store all the leftover decorations or souvenirs at home, or even worse throw them away.
Your items can go on to serve other weddings down the road, continuing to be meaningful to the next wedding couple.
Carousell lets you sell some of the excess accessories that you no longer need. Just snap a photo, list it on our marketplace and you’re all set to sell.
Now, your items can go on to help someone else have their dream wedding. Don’t forget to share your wedding experience with us on Facebook or Instagram
