RANT: Being Canadian = less money saving and few online options
Hello Ladies,
I am posting for two reasons, to rant a little, and to see if anyone has good sites/ideas.
So I have been searching online for good deals for wedding related things as well as trying to find sites for wedding related things.
What I have come up with so far is that Canadians get the shaft on shipping fees or availablity all together - they will not ship here. A lot of coupons or deals are not available to us.
Take the awesome sounding Vista Print for example: ooh yay, free xyz paper products every week - but the shipping will cost you $20-30; making the free product even more expensive than doing it myself.
I also am having a hard time finding items online available to Canadias - there are big differences between Amazon dot com and Amazon dot ca.
Thanks for the vent.
Anyone have any good sites with reasonable shipping and good prices on wedding items? Specifically (most recently) I've been searching for brooches - one to put in my hair on a comb and one to pin on my dress at one hip. Etsy hasn't quite come up with the most affordable options.

I agree with Trisha vintage shops are great way to find some beautiful pieces!
Just found this website that has some cool wedding things and with pretty cheap shipping www.weddingstar.com
Maybe one day we can all look forward to being able to order, buy, and have shipped products at great deals.
gartersbykristi.com
mixbook.com
Hope that helps.
Very reasonable prices, and they ship to Canada, I can't remember if the shipping costs were outrageous though?!
I bought my hair flowers here:

She is in Isreal but the prices are reasonable and it only cost me $4 for shipping.
I also found eBay.ca to be a help. I bought my bracelet for $7.50 and I'm pretty sure the shipping was free. I'd definitely recommend checking it out for brooches.
Also canada.forever21.com , oldnavy.ca (got all my girls and myself flip flops for under $20 with shipping and there was 6 of us!)
If you are looking to do a photobook, Picaboo's coupons are applicable in Canada. We bought our guest book for 40% off, and after the wedding made books for both of our parents buy one get one free.
Awesome paper products here..http://www.etsy.com/shop/SunnyAndCo I bought all our wedding party thank you cards from her.
Hope any of that can be of any help. I have more Canadian Etsy sellers that I used too (for personalized etched wine glasses, and cheap but really cute jewelry)
