Okay, raise your hand if you're married.  Now, keep your hand up if you have wedding accoutrement that you will (fingers crossed) never use again.  And keep your hand up if you feel you spent a king's ransom on said accoutrement, and would love some way to get a bit of that expense back, and potentially help out a new bride-to-be.

This website is fantastic.  It's like Craig's List or Ebay, but for brides.  And it's fancier.  Weddings are outrageously expensive, unless you can get creative about how to plan it.  Say "hello" to creative:  Bravo Bride.

Bravo Bride is the place to go for both prior brides, and brides-to-be.  It is the ultimate chi-chi swap meet for all things wedding.  From the founder: "BravoBride.com is an online marketplace where brides, newlyweds and bridal boutiques can buy and sell new and pre-owned wedding items, from designer wedding dresses and jewelry to shoes, favors, ceremony/reception items and more. Basically it's like Craiglist.com for the bridal industry."

You never know.  There may be another bride out there who absolutely needs to have Lego castle centerpieces for her reception.

You may browse items by the following categories:

Dresses

Jewelry

Accessories

Ceremony

Reception

Planning Items

Party & Shower Items

OR check out the Featured Items, or New Items.  The site also offers a listing for local vendors, and helpful wedding tips.

So get in there and buy or sell to your heart's content.  And if you're buying, just remember that you can re-list all the stuff once your big day is over!
