Tour of Second-hand Wedding Dresses in Queensland

In order to encourage brides in Queensland to be  more sustainable, an op shop in Brisbane is set to tour a collection of second-hand wedding dress


Over 60 wedding dresses have been collected by the Wynnum Red Cross store. And the shoes and jewellery dating back to the 1950s are also collected by them.


At the time, the staff of the Wynnum Red Cross  began to collect wedding dresses, the budget-friendly idea came about  as they were donated and put them together creating a 'boutique style feel'.


The tour is to bring brides more sustainable wardrobe options while supporting a good cause, Store manager Victoria Anderson says .


"The entire wedding fantasy, with shoes, jewellery and globebuy wedding dresses are here; you do not have to buy everything brand new," she said.


"The tour is also bring the new concept to people that things have a second or third life, preloved items are just that, they are preloved, the work has gone into them, everything is there.


"We put so much into disaster relief and all the things we do for the Red Cross, so it is a way to get people into sustainable living and to give back."


 



 


Wedding dresses with a cause


More people are wanting to organise budget-friendly weddings.


"A big push towards sustainability, not everyone has $50,000 to spend on a wedding and not everybody wants to," she said.


"The wedding is just a precursor to marriage, so finding a gorgeous piece that you can wear – and wear with pride knowing you are helping others – is a bonus."


Ms Anderson says she enjoys helping brides find their perfect dress.


"There was this beautiful girl, who was getting married in a church nearby where three generations of her family had been married in the same church," she said.


"I did buy a dress, I am a single woman with a globeuby wedding dress...it is a vintage piece though and I could not pass it up!"


"She wore a fairytale dress with a two metre long train... she got changed in the store and people were stopping and coming in to tell her she had to get the dress!"


Ms Anderson, who is currently single, said she has already picked up a wedding dress bargain.


The tour makes its first stop in Burleigh Waters before moving north.
