Following the success of its inaugural event last year, Lucy Whelan’s Vintage Wedding Fair returns to The Halland Art + Wine on the Seaview High Street this coming weekend.
The Isle of Wight Vintage Wedding Fair, between 6th-8th February 2026, brings together a carefully curated selection of vintage bridal gowns, veils, bridesmaid and mother-of-the-bride outfits, alongside stylish options for wedding guests.
A wide selection of hats and accessories will also be available, with pieces offered both to buy and to rent.
Curated by Seaview-based vintage stylist Lucy Whelan, the fair focuses on timeless style, sustainability and individuality. Lucy trained at Phillipa Lepley Bridal in London and brings over 20 years of experience in bridal and occasion styling.
The weekend opens this Friday evening with a launch party from 18:00, offering first access to guest outfits and accessories in a relaxed, celebratory setting.
Alongside the fashion edit, selected wedding industry professionals will be attending over the weekend, including wedding planner Honour & Pop, DJs, caterers, photographers and marquee suppliers, giving couples the opportunity to discuss plans and explore Seaview and the Island as a wedding destination.
The fair is open to everyone and brides seeking a wedding dress can also book hour-long bridal styling appointments from 10:00 on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th February, by emailing [email protected].
Lucy says:
“Vintage is having such a moment on the Island – and it’s a great way for brides and their guests to save money and remain stylish!”
“What made last year so special was the atmosphere with brides, friends and family all discovering beautiful pieces together.”
“Bringing the event back to Seaview, and to The Halland, feels like the perfect way to start the wedding season.”
Great event. Looking forward to it.
