Calling all brides-to-be, wedding vendors and newlyweds!! You don’t want to miss Bridal Bargainistas' first event in Nashville! Make money off your wedding memorabilia that’s collecting dust or find sensational deals if you’re a bride to be.
I spoke with Angela who helps run the Bridal Bargainista event, and she let me in on the details. Be sure to get involved - it’s a wonderful opportunity to buy or sell all things wedding!
What are the event details
The Bridal Bargainistas event will take place at the Nashville Expo Center (aka TN Fairgrounds), located at 625 Smith Avenue. The event will kick off with an opening ceremony from 5 - 8 pm on March 15. The sale will run from 6-8pm on opening night. It will continue the following day, March 16, and will run from 9 am to 8 pm. It will continue from 9 am - 3 pm on March 17. If you are a newlywed, you can sell your items by registering them online now. If you are looking to buy, you can save the date and come ready to buy!
If you have items to sell, how does it work?
If you are looking to sell, you would become a consignor. You set the price via our website and if the item sells, great! If not, you come pick it up after the sale or we donate it automatically to Goodwill on your behalf. to learn more about consigning (selling) your items, visit our website, create an account, enter items, and then have your tags printed. You tag your items and then drop them off at the fairgrounds from 11 am - 7 pm during March 13-14.
Decorative items are an absolute hit at this event! Most of the time they go faster than dresses, so if you have any centerpieces, candles, linens, etc. don’t hesitate to donate those items! (Ashley of ABG adds - if you have dresses, donate them to Goodwill this week for their upcoming Goodwill Gala and receive a tax write-off.)
If you are looking to buy, what should we know about the sale?
Everything starts March 15. We’re having a cocktail party and silent auction from 5 - 8 pm on March 15, to benefit local nonprofit Thistle Farms. The sale will follow. The price to attend is $10 for the opening night, and the other days are free. Tickets can be purchased by emailing sale{at}bridalbargainistas{dot}com. Tickets may also be purchased at the door, but we encourage you to buy them online in order to avoid an additional line. Parking is $5.

We love Thistle Farms too (their items make great bridesmaids gifts!) and we are all too happy to see them benefit from this great wedding event. We are so excited for the sale and we hope to see you there!
