Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but in early September the Cape Winelands transforms into a one-stop wonderland for brides and grooms-to-be. The Winelands Bridal Fair 2025, hosted at the picturesque Klein Joostenberg in Stellenbosch, is returning on 6 and 7 September — promising a weekend packed with inspiration, ideas, and those magical “this is it!” wedding finds.
An Experience Beyond Checklists
What makes the Winelands Bridal Fair such a beloved annual tradition is its ability to mix practicality with atmosphere. It isn’t just about ticking off suppliers from your list — it’s about immersing yourself in the world of weddings. Over 60 premium exhibitors will be under one roof, covering everything from floral design and bridal gowns to photography, venues, and beauty.
Couples can also expect live music, a relaxed restaurant area for a breather, and the thrill of the “Win-4-Your-Wedding” lucky draws, which always bring excitement to the day. With multiple bridal fashion showcases, visitors get a front-row seat to the latest dress trends, straight from South African designers.
A Winelands Setting That Adds Romance
The choice of Klein Joostenberg as the host venue is no coincidence. Located just outside Stellenbosch, this wine estate brings all the rustic charm and vineyard romance you’d expect from the Cape Winelands. The indoor setup means the event goes ahead rain or shine, while the lush surroundings offer a serene backdrop for couples already dreaming of vineyard weddings.
Local couples often use the fair as both a planning tool and a day out with family or friends. “We went last year and found our photographer and venue in one go,” shared a Cape Town bride on Instagram. Others love the chance to meet vendors face-to-face — a rarity in today’s online-driven world.
