With wedding costs on the rise, more and more bargain-hunting brides are seeking pre-loved items for the big event.
In New Zealand, the average wedding costs $30,000.
This Sunday, Rotorua will host its second Recycled Wedding Market to cater for brides wanting to sign their marriage certificate without the stress of huge event costs.
