That's awesome, Rebecca! Thanks so much for sharing... I'm a photographer and have my own business, so that should work out just fine. Very cool. I'm definitely going to check them out. Thanks again!

There is this place I’ve been to in mississauga called Canpol, they have everything from vases, flowers, crystals, ribbons, to cake toppers.
Great prices too!
only thing is you need a friend who owns a business (i.e real estate agent, business owner) to go with you as they only sell to businesses.
I had a friend come with me who owns a restaurant.. and I got my tall vases for $6 each !

That's another great idea, Lynz. It's weird... My mind's kind of been all over the place since I've gotten engaged (but, not because of the engagement - heehee - just lots going on work and life-wise of late) so I've forgotten some obvious places like HomeSense, and Winners. Thanks for reminding me... Take care, and thanks again!

I have also found many hidden wedding decor items at homesense for great prices. I forgot to mention in my original post!

This is awesome, Lynz! Thank you! Creative Bag Wedding is more than just bags (heehee) and are pretty close to us, so we'll be able to check them out in person.

I really appreciate your taking the time to share these links with me. Happy New Year to you too, and thanks again!

Thanks for your reply, Jen. I'm looking for lots of wedding-related things: a unity sand ceremony kit (or a place where I can buy the items separately); some decorative accents for the tables (e.g. birch branches/logs, ferns, moss, stones, candles, vases, etc.); a silver, nature-inspired hairpiece, barrette, or veil clip; some custom jewellery; etc.

I've definitely already looked at Etsy, but, obviously the selection from American sellers is much larger, and then you've gotta pay extra for shipping to Canada.

I suppose I was hoping there was some sort of magical online retailer in Canada that I didn't know about that other brides maybe did know, and could recommend. Heehee. Wishful thinking, I know.

I'm sure I'll be able to find most of the things I want eventually... It just may take longer than I would like, and cost more than I'd hoped to pay.

I've also been using Etsy and Amazon, thus far, and they've been alright, but, I keep finding great stuff from American Etsy sellers only to have to pay insane shipping fees, and of course, Amazon.ca has a much smaller selection than Amazon.com

I appreciate your suggestions of other places I might not have thought of yet, regardless of whether or not you've personally used them before, so thank you so much for sharing, Candace. I will definitely check out the others.

Etsy and Amazon have been my best friends so far but Party City has some good stuff. I've heard good things about Annie Lane Events and Decor LTD as well but don't have any personal experience with them.

What exactly are you looking for? I've purchased a lot of stuff from Etsy and it's in Canadian dollars. Also BHLDN has some really pretty decor as well. However, it is on the pricey side.
