Vintage Wedding Style Exhibition Continues

Till Death Us Do Part: Fifty Years of Vintage Wedding Style

We have several weeks to go (last day is the 30th June) and still have many opportunities for the public to come along, have fun and bid on one of the beautiful vintage gowns which are being auctioned off with part of the proceeds going to The Aunties, a charity organisation that supports people who are escaping domestic violence and rebuilding their lives.

SUN 18th JUNE
12-3pm

Miss Havisham's Day Out

Wear your wedding dress once again (or wear one for the first time if you've never had the chance!), play irreverent wedding games like Tablesetting Centrepiece Challenge, enter the White Wedding Lip Synch Battle, win prizes and enjoy a creepy wedding food table display. Miss Havisham's life never looked so fun!

Wear a wedding dress and get into the exhibition for free, otherwise normal entry fee of $8.00 applies. Afternoon tea will be available for purchase in the Billiard Room.

Keep up to date with all the details on our Facebook event page

THE VINTAGE WEDDING DRESS AUCTION
As well as the displays and programme of events that will happen as part of the exhibition, many of the gowns included in Till Death Us Do Part (and a few extras) are being auctioned off right here online!

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the collection will go to The Aunties – an organisation which provides sustained support for women and children who have experienced domestic violence.

Treat yourself to a gorgeous gown and a beautiful piece of New Zealand’s textile history and do good by helping others at the same time!
