The Southampton Branch recently arranged a fashion show at the Marwell Hotel and the slideshow shows examples of the many new dresses donated to Oxfam available at fantastic discounts. Call 07969 668939 and leave a message and we will get back to you.

Celebrate your wedding by helping others, make it a truely special day.

What do Oxfam do? Imagine losing everything but your life. Would you cope? Around 30 million people are forced from their homes by conflict and natural disaster every year. Most have only what they can carry. Survival depends on getting help. Fast.

Oxfam is famous for helping people in crisis, providing vital things like clean water in temporary camps. Our teams are saving lives in more than 30 countries, right now.

Bridal Wear from Oxfam

If you are looking for a dress for your special day, Oxfam can help with its superb range of wedding dresses. Hundreds of new gowns are sold each week at Oxfam's specialist bridal departments, allowing brides to marry in style without breaking the bank.

Over 95 per cent of the dresses sold are brand new, and originate from catwalk shows and high-end wedding retailers. Sizes range from 8 to 24, so there's something to suit everyone. You can also get your shoes, veil and tiara from us. And some shops even offer outfits for the groom and mother-of-the-bride.

The shops also welcome any donated dresses or accessories. The average Oxfam wedding dress costs about £250, money we could use to provide 100 people with clean water, build two toilets, train one midwife and feed a family for a month. If you have something you're happy to part with, please call the shops for details on how to donate.

Don't let the recession spoil your wedding.

Rather than let the recession spoil your wedding, take advantage of some really special bargains at your local Oxfam bridal shop.

There is a wide range of dresses and evening gowns to choose from. Contact the Southampton branch for details of a Bridal Room near you. Call 07969 668939.


And after the wedding, you can donate your wedding dress back to the store.

Make your wedding a very special day.
