Tuesday, October 18, 2011
Whether you’ve already planned your wedding and now have a closet full of décor you’ll never use again or are a bride looking to stretch her wedding day budget, the ‘Something Old, Something New’ wedding consignment sale is perfect for you!
Beth Glascock and Meredith Quigley began their business as a way to help both future brides and recent brides cut down on wedding costs and with the launch of Nashville's first wedding consignment sale this weekend in Cool Springs, it’s sure to pay off for everyone involved in a big way! Read on for our interview with Beth for all of the details and must have info!
Can you explain what the Wedding Consignment Sale is for brides who haven't heard of it?
A wedding consignment sale allows individuals to sell those items they have that are wedding related to new brides planning their weddings. Items accepted to be consigned and sold come in many categories: Wedding Gowns, Formal Gowns, Flower Girl Outfits, Wedding Decor, Linens, Crystal, Vintage Items, Jewelry, Veils, Planning Books, Invitations, and more.
Where and when is the sale taking place?
The sale will be located in the old Faccio space in Cool Springs next to Sperry's. The address is: 600 Frazier Drive, Franklin, TN 37067.

What can brides and other attendees expect to see/be able to purchase at the sale?
Everything they need for a wedding: wedding gowns, jewelry, shoes, veils, lots and lots of decor, crystal, etc. There are great pictures of items on our Facebook page.
How did you get started in putting together the wedding consignment sale and how long have you been doing it for?
I have been working with wedding vendors for a year now and became interested in wedding gowns and then the cost of decor for weddings. I did some research and mentioned to my business partner that there was a market to help both the recent bride and the future bride with wedding costs. What a great way to recycle and help someone on a budget. This is our first sale and we are very excited. We started working on this in April.
What's your favorite aspect of the sale?
I love the planning piece and making it all come together. This weekend was great as Meredith was getting wonderful items for the goody bags and I was watching the consignors sign up. I am sure we will love setting up the sale this week and making the store come together. I also love seeing what people are selling. It is all very cool and I know at the end of the day two great things happen; someone gets a good deal and someone else gets a little cash while cleaning out a closet.
