Antique Picture Frames

I'm looking to buy a bunch of 5x7 frames for a table I'm doing of all of my aunts and uncle's wedding photos. We need 14 frames for all of the aunts/uncles, but the kind of frames I want are so expensive! Does anyone know where I can get frames like this for cheaper?:

I feel like that's something you could find at michaels. Or at the very least find the frames, spray paint and 'distress' them yourself to look antique.

that's not a bad idea.. I've never done that before though- Guess I will be doing another project soon haha... Do they sell antique wooden frames for like $1 there? that would be pretty nice :)

If you're gonna go he DIY route, you could check michaels, walmart, dollar store, etc for frames. You'd save a boat load compared to etsy (not that I would ever speak ill of etsy! LOL!)

Tj maxx has some cheaper ones. We are looking for some too.

I just bought them on etsy =/ They were kinda pricey and I'm definitely gonna regret that purchase down the read lol... I just don't have the time for any DIY projects anymore so i'd rather just buy them haha

Also, if anyone getting married after me is looking for similar looking frames to the ones I posted in the original post, I will definitely be selling them after the wedding! I ordered 14 5x7s and 6 8x10s

This. DIY makes it so much more personal and your guests will love all the time and effort you put into making it your own.
Also if you do go DIY, keep an eye out for coupons online.
FH got 55% off 1 item coupons for AC Moore, we printed 2 and bought our invitations there. 100 with reply cards and envelopes for both $30.00

Good luck and have fun creating.

You should try ikea. I bought very inexpensive frames from them that had a shabby chic look when I was creating a gallery wall in my condo. It was a few years ago, but I plan on going back to check out their selections for my table number frames.
