Anthony Jewelers and Tiffany’s. Recessionista brides will enjoy a chance to bid on these and many more items at as little as 30 percent of retail value. Attendees go head-to-head in the silent auction or bid on a cornucopia of themed live-auction packages like the Couture Fashion Package, Beauty Package, and Get Fit Package.  

And lastly, the Goods on the Get Hitched, Give Hope Benefit & Auction:
