A Brighton, Fabrica Wedding With A Bride In Gold – Alex & Robin

Alex & Robin, Brighton

I love it when a bride wears a coloured dress. That’s exactly what tattooed bride Alex did when she married Robin at Fabrica in Brighton and her gold dress looks gorgeous (which was purchased on eBay – Amazing!). With killer shots from Jay Emme Photography, I can’t wait to share their day with you!

All the way back in August 2011 after the London riots, myself and a friend put together a little fundraising picnic in the middle of Brighton to help the community clean up efforts. Although Brighton wasn’t affected, we both had a lot of friends who were living in the midst of it all and wanted to help in a small way. We put a call out on Twitter and, among others, Robin turned up; we were both attached at the time but there was definitely an attraction with hindsight. He used to be in a sketch show which involved him dressing up as a pink bear, so I said to him “You’re the pink bear!” and he, rather embarrassedly, nodded and we didn’t really speak again that day so I thought he thought I was an idiot. Turned out later he thought I’d thought the same.

A little over 6 months later, he invited me to his house for dinner and we hit it off immediately. We became inseparable after about 2 weeks and then in July 2012 he proposed. We’re both big Batman fans and he got up before a packed, opening weekend showing of the Dark Knight Rises at our favourite cinema in Brighton and proposed – when he got up and picked up a microphone, I said “WTF are you doing??”. I said yes, obviously!

The highlight of our day was probably finally getting to speak to each other after the ceremony was over. We were both a bit giddy and hadn’t spoken properly for nearly two days so we were just gibbering about how weirdly fast everything had gone and how much we were both dying for a drink!

Also being able so see so many great pals who had travelled from all over to see us was really special. It was important to us that it wasn’t at all formal and we could just relax with friends and enjoy ourselves.

What started out as a free day to be able to travel down to Birmingham for Jay and myself to play around and hang out – turned out to be one of the most laid back and fun shoots I’ve done yet.

With Sarah’s Doo Wop Dos‘ hair & make-up magic, The Couture Company‘s stunning gowns and hairpieces, Strange Case Collective‘s huge colourful paper flowers and the fab surroundings of The Custard Factory – last Tuesday we ended departing super excited for another shoot already!

So I met with Sarah off the train and we headed straight up to The Custard Factory where Jo showed me a glimpse of what dresses I’d get to prance around in  – I was so excited! Sarah got her mini salon set up in one of the studios including rollers heating and shadow palette out whilst Jay went to the impromptu spring garden and arranged the fabulous paper flowers from Strange Case Collective.

Both dresses were a dream to wear!

This first dress from The Couture Company was my favourite of the two I wore on the day. Just everything about it was perfect – the laser cut flowers, the off the shoulder straps, the multicoloured buttons, the skirt pleats THAT waterfall hemline..
