Vinnies Wedding Expo returns with hundreds of affordable looks for the whole wedding party

With the average Australian wedding now costing $38,000, couples are increasingly looking for smarter and more affordable ways to celebrate. Vinnies NSW is ready to help.

The Vinnies Wedding Expo returns in 2026 to Vinnies Waverley (255–259 Bronte Road, Waverley NSW) from Saturday 18 April to Friday 24 April, or while stocks last. Last year’s event drew lines around the corner, and this year’s expo is set to be even bigger.  

Shoppers can browse more than 600 wedding dresses, including a mix of brand new and pre-loved styles which start from $50. There will also be suits and bridesmaid dresses from $15, along with accessories for the entire wedding party. 

And it goes well beyond the ceremony dress. With the rise of the bridal wardrobe, shoppers will also find pieces perfectly suited to engagement parties, rehearsal dinners, and receptions.  

The expo also showcases how pre-loved fashion can play a role in the circular economy. Wedding outfits are too often worn once before being packed away or discarded. By giving them a second life, we can reduce textile waste while offering couples quality formalwear at a fraction of the original price.   

Every purchase also goes further. Funds raised through the Vinnies Wedding Expo will directly support Vinnies NSW programs and services which help people experiencing housing insecurity, homelessness, and financial hardship across the state.
