eBay Wedding?

Yes!  It is possible to have an eBay wedding because Bea Mcmonagle (Cardenas), a director of global communications for Bumble and Bumble, the salon and haircare company loved by celebrities and fashion experts, created and designed her own wedding by buying her vintage items strictly from eBay.  Here is how!

Save the date cards were photos of Cardenas and her now husband, John McMonagle, as Samantha Baker and Jake Ryan in "Sixteen Candles" recreating that famous dining table scene. On their first date, Cardenas and McMonagle along with their love for all things by Wes Anderson, especially the "Royal Tenenbaums," so the wedding party had a "Royal Tenenbaums"-themed photo shoot prior to the wedding, and photos as well as props from the shoot were scattered throughout the venue.








Escort cards were vintage lockets with table numbers printed inside, affixed with bits of lace to vintage suitcases.  The lockets she used as escort cards were $25 for a lot of 100.  Even the vintage lace used  was from eBay!







Wedding invitations were printed on vintage napkins purchased on eBay.


Although Bea was unable to remember how much she spent in total for her wedding...this is truly inspiring!  So all of the ladies looking to find good bargains - 1st try eBay.  Never know what you will find!

eBay tips:  "‘20s," for example, instead of "twenties" per Mcmonagle can yield extremely different results. 
My tip:  Why not try them both!
