Running from 29 April to 9 May, Oxfam is hosting an online wedding auction on eBay to celebrate Will and Kate’s first anniversary.
You’ll be able to bid on 100 designer items worth more than £70,000. Oxfam Wedding Ambassador Annabel Beeforth, of wedding blog Love My Dress, helped organise the event, pulling together mind–blowing prizes from the best wedding suppliers in the UK.
Bid on gowns designed by lusted-after designers like Jenny Packham and Sassi Holford, or a flowergirl dress by Nicki Macfarlane (who made The Duchess of Cambridge's bridesmaids’ dresses last year!).
You can also score a John Nassari photography and celebrity hairstyling package worth £15,000 and bid on a private consultation and champagne afternoon tea with in-demand wedding planner Sarah Haywood and Peggy Porschen, the celebrity cake-maker behind Kate Moss’s beautiful vintage-inspired wedding cake. And if decorations are still on your to-do list, you'll be given the chance to win flowers from florists, such as By Appointment Only.
Also up for grabs is an exclusive consultation with renowned dress designer Ian Stuart and the chance to choose your gown from any of his Killer Queen dresses – a once in a lifetime opportunity! – including a personal consultation with Ian himself. He’ll help you find the perfect gown and give you expert styling tips to make your wedding day the fairytale you’ve always dreamed of.
All proceeds from the auction will go to people living in poverty around the world supported by Oxfam, which celebrates its 70th birthday this year.
