Wedding vintage crockery?

bekidavis

Hello All

Does anybody know of any brides keen to sell their wedding crockery (enough for 100 guests)?
I'm looking for an eclectic mix of china (tea cups and saucers, sandwich plates, cream, sugar and jam bowls, teapots, cake stands) but to hire costs a fortune. At least if I can buy from somebody, I can then sell it on.
I'm getting married in June and live in Hereford - if anybody has any suggestions, please let me know.

Many Thanks

Hi,

Have you looked on Ebay ? I was looking for a cake stand last week and came a cross someone selling off a job lot who had used it for her wedding.

check ebay - I also saw the job lot of vintage tea set stuff!

This isn't it but there are loads of these on E-bay

I am based in Leeds so its probably not an option for you, but i do have a rather large collection that i have accumulated over past year, was planning to have tea party wedding but its now not got a theme so i dont think ill get to use it. I would consider lending out for a small fee , i know what you mean about hire costs, they're crazy which is what started me collecting mine, if your interested. I dont know if i could bear to sell it as i absolutely love it, but if your stuck maybe its an option.

Is there a local auction house near you, we have one and things like this go really cheap, try your local charity shops, and jumble sales when they start up - boot sales too!
