Wedding Items for Sale: Table Runners & Wedding Bells

Hey guys!

One of my favorite clients from last year has a few things left from her gorgeous wedding that she wants to get rid of. If you or anyone you know needs either of the following items, just let me know and I'll get you in touch with her!

Black & Ivory Striped Table Runners

She has 30 table runners that are each 12" wide and approximately 10' long (they're each slightly different as they were hand cut). The runners are cut along the stripes and are not sewn, but look finished and beautiful on banquet tables and are plenty long for an 8 foot table. They paid $16.00 each for these and are asking $12.00, but will take $10.00 each if someone wants to buy all 30.

Bells of Well Wishes

These are beautiful little brass and silver wedding bells along with tags that read "ring bells of well wishes for the new Mr. & Mrs." and are a wonderful way to send off the bride & groom as they leave the church! They have 192 of these, which is plenty for a wedding of up to 300 guests! These were $367.00 new and they are only asking $250.00.


If you're interested in either of these wonderful items and want to make an offer, please let me know via email (jessica@finishingtoucheventdesign.net) and I will put you in touch with the client directly!
