How To Amazon Your Wedding

While most of us rely on Amazon for our books and assorted other must-haves, it’s actually a great place to organize a wedding as well. Amazon launched its Handmade shop in 2015 to compete with Etsy. The Handmade wedding shop has become a hub for wedding vendors selling everything from veils to invitations, all with the benefit of Amazon Prime for shipping.

Here’s how to plan your Amazon wedding.

You can order your invitations, complete with a custom monogram. Wedding bands and engagement rings are available – from an $11 titanium ring to an $18,000 platinum and diamond dream.

Turning to dresses and tuxes, the variety of styles and prices and just as expansive. Just remember you’ll need to get it altered yourself. For your bridesmaids, Amazon has taken care of that too, with chic Vera Wang gowns and cheaper, flirty dresses as well.

Wedding flowers, including bouquets, centrepieces, and even boughs, are available – or you can have the flowers sent to you wholesale so you can do it yourself. Other decorations, from chair bows to Mr. & Mrs. signs and wedding photo props, are also available.

Couples can set up their registry on Amazon’s website and use a variety of browser extensions to add products to your list as you search the web.

For food, Amazon has a restaurant delivery service as well as the Prime Pantry service in some cities. For alcohol, you can order it right off the website and get it Prime. Your reception playlist is easy-peasy with Amazon Music Unlimited.

And the ultimate wedding gift is now available on Amazon: how about a new Rolls Royce?

Amazon’s reach into the wedding industry is good news for customers, who can make their wedding dreams come true for far less than specialist wedding sites.
